A real gem of a pub. Placed down a narrow alleyway off the main road through Lee, also within easy reach of the South West Coastal Path, this long thin building also doubles as the village stores. Entering the pub through the side past the large beer garden puts you straight at the bar serving a good variety of Devonian beers, ciders and perrys. On my visit there were handpumps from Otter and Exmoor breweries and ciders and perrys from Sandford Orchards both bottled and on tap. The beers are very well kept and served by attentive, friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere here can range from very quiet to very lively depending on when you go, but always enjoyable.
The pub is divided into a number of small to medium sized rooms. One of the smaller back rooms houses a range of acoustic guitars and other instruments. Friday nights are advertised as an open mic night - feel free to bring your own instrument and join in. There are also occasional live gigs.
The jewel in the crown of this pub however is the food, which is all home made - no food service deliveries here - The menu also clearly marks out many vegetarian options and the vast majority of dishes are also gluten free.. On the first visit I had the venison casserole which was a perfectly sized portion served with new potatoes, sprouts and red cabbage - everything cooked to perfection, the venison had been slow cooked and was as tender as could be. The second visit and I had the bangers and mash - again gluten free. The sausages are locally sourced and delicious. For dessert the orange and cardomom steam pudding (again gluten free) was to die for. Looking forward to returning to North Devon to visit here again.

Great dining pub a few minutes walk on footpath from Lee Bay. Helpful staff.
Very tasteful "Gravadlax" trout with new potatos and veg., and OK selection of real ales. Outside beer garden, relaxed atmosphere.

In a sleepy seaside village the Grampus Inn is dedicated to offering customers the best micro brewery ales found in the South West on its four hanpumps. Ales from wizard, Forge , organic plus many more can be found here. my pint of Forge was excellent, although this is an out of the way spot you will will find this a most rewarding pub to visit. Unbelievably this is not a current G.B.G. entry.

grampus has gone downhill since new landlord took over b4 xmas. Such a shame since pub was one of my favourites to sit outside lunchtimes.
poor beer and very average food
|
Oh dear, what a let down. Food was grossly overpriced with very mean portions and not of a very high standard. Avoid at all costs.

excellent pub with interesting landlord!!. good beers and tasty varied food. good shady garden. opening hours during the day variable according whether the landlord wants to go fishing! Live music and the go-kart race . Lee is an interesting village with a good beach only at low tide

NICE PUB SITUATED IN A TYPICAL NORTH DEVON COASTAL VILLAGE REACHED BY A LONG NARROW ROAD. THICK STONE WALLS AND SMALL WINDOWS PROVED THE IDEAL SOLUTION TO THE SCORCHING DAY WHEN WE VISITED ALTHOUGH THERE IS A GARDEN FOR THE MORE SUN TOLERANT. REAL ALES INCLUDING A 10% BITTER TO CELEBRATE THE ANNUAL GO-KART RACE (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT IF YOU DROVE DOWN). EXCELLENT FOOD INCLUDING FRESH LOCAL FISH AND SEAFOOD. HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY STAFF.
