Nice decor! and nice presentation of food, but that was as good as it got I'm afraid. the staff were quite grumpy, and they also didn't return our change from the bill, even though it was little over a pound, i didn't tell them to keep the change. The food? i had the chicken Jalfrezi and it was dominated by onions, probably the worst I've had! shame really had high hopes but wont be going back.

Delicious great value food - and the takeaway menu is just as excellent too and fabulous value

Called in on the off chance and were very pleasantly surprised. Great selection lovely atmosphere and good value

it a great restaurant good food i would recommend anyone to try it.

Cannot believe how bad this place was. Arrived at 8:50 having booked for 9. No table free til 9:20. Looking around while we were there, it would seem that we were not the only ones who had been there some time without service.There is a reason for this - the abominable service overall. After waiting another 15 mins to order, and then 35 mins for the starter to arrive , it was cold!Unbelievable. Decided to cut our losses and left, having been in the place for an hour and 20 mins without eating anything!! DON'T GO THERE!!!

Just returned from the Barum Gate in barnstaple and still fuming. I treated my daughter to a birthday meal and wish i hadn't bothered. A simple order: two starters and four mains. One starter didn't turn up, 40 mins later and the incomplete main courses showed up and my wife's favourite well done steak was stone cold. Very unhappy. Not one to cause a fuss i reluctantly paid the bill hoping someone would ask "how was your'e meal". No such luck so I will have to make it my mission to not recommend this place to anyone. Shame really, used to dine here all the time before the re-furb.

Matt, Lizzie and their very professional team recently catered for my daughter's wedding reception in Powderham Castle. They were quietly efficient and helpful and and provided us with wonderful food. We chose them following our experience of their delicious Sunday lunches and memorable suppers. They are 'THE BEST'. Kenton residents are so lucky to have this exceptional establishment in their village. You will need to book a table if you wish to eat there at a weekend.

We had steak etc here when we stayed overnight in the hotel last Sept and thought it was overpriced for the quality and portions. The pud was dry which suggested it wasn't too fresh. Also, the restaurant had loads of spiders in every available nook & cranny so to be avoided in my book. We checked out of the hotel room after 1 night due to loads of spiders in the room too but that's another story. I certainly won't be going there again.

Me and my boyfriend have been here 3 times now each time it has been great the food is great, the best Indian restaurant we have been to yet the food is lovely and fresh going again soon, highly recommended. Emma and Mark.

we went here last year for our wedding anniversary meal. It is the best meal we have ever tasted,and we eat out 4-5 times a month. 6 of us went and 5 of us had a fillet steak, ranging from rare to really well done. Once the food arrived, all the steaks looked the same from the outside, it was only once you cut through it did you notice if it was rare or well done, and the taste was amazing. The only problem is, it is 400 miles from home. highly recommended with 10/10 for service, food quality, and using local produce.

what a great restaurant. Food is fantastic and varied. Not just curry. Staff are friendly and helpful. The owner who is there most nights is a wonderful host. I recommend you try this place at least once...a week as I do!! Dont bother going to any other indian restaurant in Torquay you will be disappointed. The naan bread are to die for - I suggest you try the garlic and coriander....amazing.

We enjoyed a superb meal on new year's eve with live music and a wonderful atmosphere. The pub was packed and the owners meryl and paulo were wonderful hosts. 10 of us enjoyed a fabulous evening and we have booked for next year. A truly great experience!!!

The winking Prawn is one of the best restaurants in Salcombe and i cant wait to go back there in march to visit my friends who own it Amy......x

This Christmas I organised a more relaxed staff Christmas "party" and had no hesitation in booking the Waterside for 20 of us. As usual, I knew I could depend upon Matt and his brigade in the kitchen and Delphine with her great team to provide us with a superb meal and excellent friendly service, even though our party of 20 was only one of a number of large bookings for that evening. Our M.D. and his wife were so delighted with the relaxed and enjoyable evening that I have re-booked the Waterside for our Summer Supper - again for all the staff and their partners. Cannot recommend this delightful venue highly enough, especially if you want a hassle-free party in a pleasant location with delicious food, excellent reasonably-priced wines, and friendly efficient staff.

Excellent value for money with friendly service. The food is first class and they have a range of dishes for all tastes.

Very nice upmarket cuisine. Lovely decor and service

Could not get a table at Tanners, so settled for Chloes (which I enjoyed the last time I was there). Service is impeccable. Starters were up to expectations. The Coq Au Vin and Sea Bream was at it usual good standards, but the cod was disappointing on this occasion.
