Reviews in Devon

As usual we had a wonderful lunch at Bistro One. Mr Barrett is helpful and friendly and makes excellent recommendations. No wonder they have won the title of Best Restaurant in Plymouth for 2011!! We had bangers and mash with braised cabbage for £5 and it was delicious.

what an amazing find this was, the staff are so attentive, the food delicious, an amazing selection of real ales (someone really knows how to nurture them) relaxed and welcoming, our first visit and definitely not our last, big shout for the mount radford

Excellent choice, after some disappointments at the menu stage, the sea bream with ratatouille was unavailable although still on the specials board, we asked for the plaice with ratatouille instead, ah , no ratatouille..I enjoyed a decent 8 oz sirloin slightly overcooked but still moist enough, my wife chose a chicken dish also nicely presented although too much vinegar in the salad dressing, she thought it nice enough.Excellent choice of local quantock and bay breweries ale. Slightly off putting but the only table available faced the pool table..it was busy for a Monday night though so well done Work in progress atmosphere wise but shows great potential and deserves to prosper

My fiance and I both enjoyed a lovely roast lunch today at Trotters in Seaton. As always the food was beautifully cooked and presented, (gravy very special every time) and the owners make you very welcome. A really good place in Seaton to eat.

After a long day in Paignton my friend and I decided to stop at what looked like a nice place to eat. Little did we know.. The girl on the till was rushing us to place our order and her maths wasn't the best with giving change either, a non-issue really.. However, we politely asked a guy who worked there and was stacking shelves if he minded us taking down a chair to sit on, it had been a long day! Apparently this was unacceptable. We sat outside the chip shop on one of the seats, deciding it was far too cold we went inside and another customer offered up a spare chair on their table. We kindly accepted. The gent who was stacking the shelves came over as if he was going to hit us, "You can't bring chairs in from outside! Put it back!" After explaining that we had used a chair from inside the store, we were once more shouted at and told this was unacceptable. We instantly demanded our money back as we would not be dining there, we were once again shouted at. After asking to see the manager we were informed there would be a long wait, clearly only said to get rid of us. It's ok, we had a few hours left on the car.. The girl on the till gave us our money back, but was furious when we still wanted to see the manager. The manager comes out, "What's your problem?!" was the greeting. After explaining the issue she didn't seem to care in the slightest. With a manager like that no wonder the staff are terrible. Will never visit again.

we went there in June the food was very good and service and very friendly and very homely and hope to book for my daughters birthday

Quite possibly thee best place to eat Chinese Food in Plymouth (Imperial Gardens on Ebrington St comes close with their Ho-Fun Noodle menu) The boss, Johnny, is welcoming, and enjoys you having a taster from his extensive 'Head Menu' . He will suggest particular courses / menus that work really well together, Michael the chef (on the top floor) is good, really good...perfect meal every time. What is also good is the Japanese Waitress who runs the top floor...My Wife's best friend...she has an eye for picking the perfect menu from the extensive list in front of you...we've been there a few times now, it definitely won't be the last. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and want to taste some "real" Chinese food, then The Noodle Lounge is the only restaurant to visit in Plymouth.

Lovely little restaurant, Great food, great service and great value.

Since being introduced to the Noodle Lounge we would not eat in any other Chinese Restaurant in Plymouth. The food is excellent (Jonny will recommend a selection for you which is superb or you can order from the menu) Highly recommended.

had lunch in Torquay and the food and service was excellent.

Having fond memories of three corporate 'away day's' at Gidleigh Park some 15 years ago and now living in Devon, what better a place to return to celebrate my partner's big birthday in July! We took the plunge and tucked into the Signature Menu which was amazing - we really enjoyed the combination of ingredients and the way that the many flavours were differentiated in each dish. We were also surprised to feel pleasantly full rather than completely over fed and put this down to the lightness of the sauces. I'm really pleased we chose this menu as it made the occasion truly special. I'm now saving up for next time!

We had an excellent meal at The Masons Arms on August Bank Holiday Sunday with my sister, neices and partners. The menu is short but well formed with enough variety to tempt us all (although none of us could manage their famed cream tea dessert which just means we'll have to go back!). Each dish had a tasty combination of ingredients impeccably cooked. Also, the staff were tremendously accommodating throughout the booking process when our party numbers were rising and falling by the week and had no need what so ever to apologise for sitting us in the bar area as it was an ideal space and table shape for our group. We will go back but this time staying locally over night so that we can enjoy the wine menu as well!

We visited the Crediton Tandoori Restaurant on Sunday 25th of Sept. 2011 for the Sunday buffet. We were welcomed when we arrived and drinks were served quickly with poppadoms etc. The buffet itself was wonderful. Plenty of choice - I only wish I could have eaten more. I'll certainly go back when I'm in the area again.

This shop holds a Fish and Chip Quality Award from the National Federation of Fish Friers. You can be confident of the quality of product and service in this shop.

How amazing and fantastically orgasmic their food was!! Highly recommended!!

Best fish/chicken and chips for miles. I go at least once a week from Bovey to eat looking out to sea in the nearby car park. Best avoided Fridays in season as there will be a long queue.

Reserved a table for my son's birthday. My wife arrived with a birthday cake and asked if we could keep it in the kitchen for after our meal. With a dead straight face the manager said 'We do not allow outside food into our kitchen' . This man was so serious my wife thought he was joking but not so and that is where our dining experience started to nosedive. One person in our party had to pull out at the last minute and because of the empty seat nobody came over to serve us or ask if we would like drinks. Nothing. So after 15 minutes we had to walk up to the bar to ask for some menus and it was pointed out that our reservation was for 6 not 5. When the manager came over to take our order my wife apologised for not letting them no about the missing person in the party only for him to reply ' Well it doesn't take much to pick up the phone'. The cheek of it. If it wasn't for the fact it was my son's 12th birthday I would have upped and left. This man has a serious lack of people skills and comes across as rude and arrogant. When my son asked for a slice of lemon in his glass of water he rolled his eyes as if we were making his life difficult. The food on the other hand could not be faulted. Absolutely delicious! Pity really as we will never be going back.

I used to love Scoffs as takeaway chips but last Sunday I sat down in their restaurant and I swear that ill never ever buy from there again, nor will my friends. I and 2 members of my family from Kenya went for takeaway chips then decided as we had half hour to kill to sit down and eat them in the restaurant. The assistants kept staring at the two kenyans as if they had never seen a non white person before, then 4 members of staff (yes 4!!) all came up together and intimidated us by standing over the table and demanding to know what we were doing. We said we wanted to eat the food we had bought there, but they were bullying and demanded we pay extra to sit down, and were incredibly rude to us. Then after we complained about the service, they stood behind the counter gossiping, pointing fingers and making fun of us. Racist, inept, ill mannered, ill trained and redneck. Ill never go there again and will complain to the owners too.
