Reviews in Devon

The pub is under new management and it shows as the previous owner was unfriendly and unwelcoming. Now the pub has been revamped and is a fantastic venue for an evening out. My three children thought the food was wonderful and the live music was a great way to end our holiday.

Best thing to happen in Exeter for foodies for years. Coonsistent, quality food, at realistic prices and friendly atmosphere. Can't praise it enough and I am Ms Pickey when it comes to restaurants!

dining here is a fun experience, the staff are buzzing & friendly, nothing is too much trouble. very clean, would recommend, only gripe is cost of a cola, apart from that, everything excellent - also know others who have been & their experience equalled mine

We went twice in a week and ate really well. We both love simple seafood which is in abundance here. Also found the knowledgeable staff a real bonus. Back soon.

If you want a great Sunday roast this is the place you may need to book though, the food was lovely everything was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of it will definitely be going back

My sister and I were introduced to Nandos in NZ and we loved it so were excited when it came to Plymouth. The staff are great, food is always good-the feta cheese chicken salad is excellent and the ambiance in the place is really fun. I love the awful chicken related puns on the menus, napkins etc! Great for lunch or pre-cinema meal as its only next door.

Have visited the Souk restaurant several more times and have not had a disappointing meal there. Each time i have visited with different friends and they have all commented on what a lovely restaurant it is. Early evening is my favourite time to eat as its quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I even left some money there by accident and the waitress ran down the street to tell! Plus the Manageress is always friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant, brilliant staff!

Red Barn is great, we often end up with a lovely breakfast here after an early morning surf-especially if we slept in the car! Woolacombe is a great place and Red Barn is perfectly placed, there's always a lovely buzz here.

I love the China House, we visit on a weekly basis! The food is always good-especially so for lunch, staff are hit and miss there are some very friendly members and some that are not so friendly but its the location and the lovely cosy feel of the place that is the real winner. Summer days and evenings are beautiful overlooking the boats and the barbican and on winter nights grab a seat next to one of the cosy fires! Lush

The Halfway House at Grenofen is under new ownership and is West Devon's latest "gastro pub". The chefs come from The Dartmoor Union, Holbeton, and Tanners in Plymouth, and it shows - the food was absolutely superb on my first visit here. Neither my two highly discerning guests nor I could fault it. Downsides? The bar area is a bit cluttered - the furniture is too big for the limited space. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but a little chaotic - perhaps because they're all new to the job...and there were a couple of strange characters hanging around the doorway as we went in, which could have been off-putting to some. But overall our meal was very good. Beautiful local meat and fish, cooked to perfection with subtle sauces. And the price was very reasonable for a meal of such quality. The wine list is relatively limited but contained some good wines, and was excellent value. I shall certainly go again.

I recently attended a wedding at the duke of Cornwall hotel and could not fault it at all. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel for anybody looking for quality.

just had a very good carvery at the lyneham inn the new management were very nice and the food was great. i hope they stay for a long time.

The staff very friendly , hosted by Richard and Jeff , recommend the Sunday carvery a MUST!!! mouth watering meat and tender veg , 9/10 for the hunting lodge , best carvery from Ivybrdge -Plymouth !!

Excellent pub with great atmosphere, great bubbly staff and wonderful food. Very good for families with children! The fish was absolutely superb and the chocolate pudding a delight! Wines good and everything really full of flavour and beautifully presented. Excellent chef

I felt this was very mediocre food at a very high price. For a family of four it was over £75 for a very average pub supper. No starters and puddings were over £5 each which is exorbitant in my opinion considering they were not very good at all. My fillet steak was okay but nothing special and the vegetable selection was quite mean and uninteresting. Flavour very limited and I was very disappointed. The waitress hardly welcomed us and took our menus away before we had ordered for another table which we found quite odd and somewhat rude.

i found the meal on the whole excellent and shall in future visit this friendly establishment.

From the moment we walked in we were treated as somewhat second class citizens. The first waitress dumped us at our table and we discovered we were the only customers not to have been offered any bread and olives, the service continued to be fairly haphazard throughout the night. The food however was very good, just right. Just enough on the plate and extremely tasty. The food was therefore worth returning for, but the service could certainly bear some improvement.

We and our friends always have our xmas lunch here and just cannot fault it. The lunch time and evening menu has something for everybody and the owners will make you feel at home, Bon Appetit.
