Reviews in Devon

Really nice food and friendly staff.

What a great restaurant to try something slightly different. If you want standard Indian food then no problem however if you fancy something Himalayan then this is the place. Mixtures of Chinese, Goan ,Thai and Indian dishes are available. Service was good but did get a little slow as the restaurant got busy, however there was only one waiter present. Absolutely brilliant and I will be back.

Visited Lanterns on many occasions and was really looking forward to going on the 28th December 2015 to celebrate a friend's birthday. The refurbishment is nice, however this was not reflected in the poor service we received. The restaurant was only half full so there was no excuse for Starter's not arriving together and in the end had to get own soap from service. Steak poorly cooked and food cold by the time we received. We repeatedly had to ask where food and drinks were. We spent £200.00 for a very poor experience.

Had a fantastic meal with a group of friends over Xmas, its a must for any age or size of group defo recommend.

Lovely food, great value, I'm going tomorrow again ummmm.

I was working as a fundraiser at the time and our team decided to take a break so we can rest our legs. My female colleague used the toilet and ended up buying a lemonade and peanuts from the bar.Me and my friend were strapped for cash, but as no one else was in the pub and someone had paid for something, we decided to take a small break in one of the booths before we headed out.10 minutes rest later, before we left, my colleagues left me to take care of their items, as they went out to smoke.At which point I was aggressively approached by a woman and asked if we had finished as quote 'This is a business, not a Charity!!!'. At which point I tried to be civil and replied 'In the future I may choose to come back here, I just don't have any money at the moment and my friend did buy something'. At which she replied 'Well if you spend money here in the future with us, you'll be welcome to come back, but it's not my problem if you need a rest as I'm running a business'.I may have understood if we were taking up space that other customers were using, but as I said literally no one else was there.It was an aggressive outburst that frankly wasn't warranted, even when I tried complementing her on the interior design of the pub she just made a snarky comment on how 'Yes this business!!! Is nice isn't it'.I for one will tell my friends to go elsewhere if they're ever in Kingsbridge, as I'm sure there are much more affable places in such as nice town.

On the 9/9/14 we tried to eat at Scoffs. My friend was in a scooter and had her foot in a brace which meant that she needed to stay in the scooter. The place was quiet. Upon entry the tall guy asked us to leave the scooter outside one of the other staff noticed that my friend had her leg in a brace and pointed it out, to which the other guy then said "can you sit outside then"!! It was late in the afternoon and going off chilly. I noticed that someone else had a seat walker frame which wasn't that much smaller than the scooter but they were allowed to sit inside. I said "oh so you can allow that in here then" We told him to forget it and we ate at a much friendlier place. Later when we went back past we saw a pushchair in there!!!! What's the difference???? Certainly NOT disabled friendly...... only to certain people it seems. Your loss mate.

Have been eating at Cook Island for many years and can say I have never been disappointed with both the food and service. We have always had a warm friendly welcome. Scot is a great manager.

I can only comment on the meal we had in the pub as we were not guests in the hotel. We tried to book a meal at the sister pub The Red Lion but as it was full they suggested the newly opened Globe. To our surprise on a Friday night at 8.40 pm the place was virtually empty (I'm always a bit suspicious of empty restaurants) but we had only just arrived from a long journey and had a hungry 8 year old. Menu very limited - no specials. Food took 25 mins to arrive which was ok but my sons chips were over cooked. If an 8 year old doesn't eat chips something is wrong. My husband had the 'New York Roast" basically a rump steak and mash. Steak was fine. Mine came 5 mins later but my lamb skewers were not charred, they were burnt to the extent they were inedible. We sent them back. 20 mins later ( by now my family had finished their food and I was starving) my skewers appeared. Looked ok on first inspection so I said the were fine but once the meat was prized off the skewer the pieces were still burnt on one side. Too tired to complain again I ate the good bits and left the worst. My husband politely asked for a reduction in the bill which was refused. Oh well - won't go again and somewhat put off the Red Lion too. They won't pick up trade like that. Good job Gordon Ramsay wasn't checking out the kitchen. No excuse for burnt food - ever.

Really nice pub! Food was very tasty, good selection with a childs menu and a restaurant menu. Staff very helpful and we even got to meet the Chef! Would love to go back there next time we are in Devon!

Probably the best burger I ever had. Lovely staff and good price! Will definitely be back!

Went to the Boardwalk last night, the sign outside said serving food from 5-30pm to 9-00pm. It was 6-15pm when we arrived. The owner after taking our order for wine said if you are ordering food we can not take an order until 7-00pm. The restaurant was not even half full. We found the owner to be arrogant and not helpful although our food came out at 7-30pm and was very nice. The wine was very expensive and no wine list giving prices, so did not know until the bill came how much £16-95 a bottle a bit over the top for pino grigio. We will not be going again.

Had lunch there today, absolutely delicious. The best moussaka I've ever had . Wonderful staff. Highly recommended.

Have been going to this restaurant with my husband for donkey's years. Consistantly excellent food and great, friendly staff, Have just had my husband's 65th birthday party there - fab reviews from everyone. Special mention for wonderful chef Sharon - she makes it all taste fantastic! Suzy B

We had a wonderful day at Castle Barton on the occasion of our Golden Wedding anniversary on May 25th. Lunch was delicious. Excellent service. A lovely oasis to relax over a meal anytime. Pretty garden. Thank you Castle Barton for making the day special. Sue

Can't wait coming for first time today me my mum my brother and his partner my bro and his partner have been before they said every thing was fab. We will be having the platters will review when have been.

Brilliant, lovely food and great staff!. House wine is lovely and excellent potion sizes.

We stayed nearby and chose to give the Ryden Inn a try for an Evening meal. We were welcomed not only by friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, but most enjoyably an exciting specials board. We had Lamb Cutletts in Madeira Sauce and Wild Mushrooms and Sea Bass with Crab and Saffron sauce. We were both extremely impressed with our meals.I would go as far as saying it was near perfect, very tasty at a great price. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would recommend eating here to anyone.
