Captain Jack's was converted from Woolacombe's original old farm buildings which have been on this site as early as the 12th Century. The circular stone pillars that form the central courtyard can be seen surrounding the Beer Garden. In 1170ad William De Tracy, one of four knights who allegedly murdered Thomas A Becket in Canterbury was caught hiding there, and executed. Folklore has it that his ghost still roams the beach, cursed forever to weave an impossible chain of sand along its length. From November until Spring the pub only opens on Saturday & Sunday and times will vary.
We went to this place each day on our October holiday and it’s so great to have. Amazing atmosphere, lovely people, great food, a free pool table and the best cider I’ve ever had (Devon Mist). It feels like a Pirates Of The Carribean pub in a way and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Nice big place, food wasn't as good as I thought it maybe. Starters seemed to be my opinion to be microwaved. Steamed gyoza shouldn't have crispy edges. Chips were good.
Great place to eat in or outdoors. Been here 3 times in a week and couldn't fault it. The food was great chip were some of the best I've had and I've had a few chips in my time with a waistline to prove it! Good atmosphere and cheerful staff. I know where to come next year. Well done to all at Captain Jack's.
Really great pub with a huge selection of drinks & food. Dog friendly & good amount of seating both in & outside. Really recommend for a post beach day dinner.
Absolutely love it. Walked in the door and asked for a " Hunters chicken ", as advertised on the window outside. And" Joe" the barmaid got it sorted for me and a curry for the other half. And a lovely pint of " Mena du" into the bargain. Worth every penny. Will definitely be back and looking at booking a room at the Woolacombe Bay Hotel next year.. a beautiful little town/ village. Fantastic beach ( spent an hour just watching the surfers in the surf ). All in all... an excellent visit.
