The Dartmouth Arms, Forest Hill

We really liked it here. Popped out of the Horniman for lunch. Back room was booked out for a function but front bar was great. Good atmosphere, Very quick and friendly service, very amenable to having small babies there (I can see how this might put some punters off but this is really good for us) and really nice food and beers - Broadside and Landlord + 1 more i can;t remember. Tim Taylor Landlord was really excellent.

The Gurnards Head, Zennor

I kind of disagree with previous posts. Yes this is unashamedly a gastropub, very big old roadside inn that for years needed some TLC and now has had it.
We found the welcome to be friendly, they couldn;t have been more helpful digging out the highchair for our littl'un. The food is on the pricey side but al the dishes our party had were interesting and really well cooked - which I don;t mind paying a bit more for. And the beer was excellent too - good local fayre.

The Rising Sun, Lynmouth

We stopped for a meal and a few pints here after a lovely stroll down from Watersmeet.
The beer selection was excellent and the pints of Fox and Gold I had (both Exmoor Brewery) both were fab.
THe food was lovely too - in particular the puddings which were the best pub puddings i can remember having.
Service generally excellent too, with really friendly helful waiting staff.
BUT - we went to pay the bill and despite it not being at all busy, and there being an itemised bill, the landlord refused to split the bill - we even offered to work it out for him but not a bit of it. I found him rude and unhelpful.
This is a real shame as we'd had a great time here and this really clouded our visit. It was such a simple request, and must be made so very often in such a tourist spot. More customer focussed service required please
