The Lighter Inn is situated by Topsham Quay and has a few tables outside so makes the pub ideal for a lazy summer afternoon watching the world pass by on

The Lighter Inn offers a mix of reviews ranging from disappointed diners to satisfied customers. One visitor described a poor experience with tasteless food and bad service, while another highlighted the lovely atmosphere and fresh ingredients. Despite some issues with service speed and limited menu options, the restaurant seems to offer a nice selection of meals, especially the mezze and daal. The cozy pub, with both indoor and outdoor seating options, is recommended for those looking for a casual dining experience with great beer selection. Overall, The Lighter Inn seems to be hit or miss, but may be worth a visit for those looking for a relaxed meal with a view.
