The food inside isn't great but for the price you can't argue but the biggest disappointment for me has to be after they had the place refurbished.

Although I live 2 mins walk away from the 'Devon', I must admit I seldom visit. I must say though that since it has become a Sizzler establishment, it looks like it's lost a lot of it's charm.

In fact the last time I visited this pub I had a glass of coke! I'm not always so innocent but it does depend who I go out with but quite often I go out with good friends of mine and we just natter the night away and we don't need booze to have a laugh. So I do like pubs that have a nice female friendly environment, a nice selection of drinks including wine and decent food on offer and the Devon actually ticks all the right boxes in that respect.
