My main course was frankly very poor. It wasn't even hot so I complained (first time ever). They replaced it with apologies and it was better but still not good. The rest of the meal was fine. To be fair they didn't charge us for my substandard main course and also threw in the wine as a freebie.
Bella Italia – ExeterThe food is great i went with 3 other people i will make sure i will be back
Mary Tavy Inn – TavistockA traditional lunch-time roast was served with speed and efficiency on very hot plates! A smaller portion was available. The puddings are superb and vary from roulades to Bread and Butter pud with custard. The delicious cakes and pastries ensure your diet fails. A very wide range of teas are on offer and the staff...simply delightful.
Brookside Restaurant – Newton AbbotTook my father in law here for a Sunday lunch treat. This pub has in the past had an excellent reputation. We were very disappointed. We were the first to order food, and were told that there were no chicken dishes as 'they had run out of chicken'!! The next people to order had chicken. The steak meals we ordered were reminders of 60's pub food. The steak was tough, and the whole dish lacked imagination. To add insult to injury, having finished our main course, the sweet took an hour to arrive, and the most preparation required was 5 minutes in the microwave! This lunch cost around £20/head - no wine included. The staff were very pleasant, the surroundings were dowdy and desperately in need of redecorating.
Leaping Salmon – YelvertonVery nice quaint old english pub, the food is excellent very large, quality portions, nice staff too. well worth a visit.
White Hart, The – CreditonReally good food and lovely staff. They were more than happy to alter dishes to meet my dietary requirements and as someone who has travelled to India several times, it is the closest ive ever had to the taste of genuine indian cuisine
Jaipur Palace Restaurant – Plymouthwe wnt to the Bearslake for a meal and had a wonderful evening, All the staff were very helpful, very nice and couldnt have been friendlier. As ex publicans ourselves we are probably more critical than most, but I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone.
Bearslake Inn – OkehamptonImaginative menu, attractively presented in a welcoming atmosphere. Could happily eat here every week so will be back. Sheila
Waterside Bistro – TotnesCould only afford to eat their once during the holiday, but on a wet weekend it was a warm inviting place to eat, with a good atmosphere. My lad especially liked the wi-fi connection.
Cook Island – IlfracombeWe eat at the Burrator regularly and have never had a poor meal. Food is fairly plain but very well cooked and presented. The gammon steak is excellent - served with pineapple, cheese and 2 eggs. £8.95
Burrator Inn The – Yelvertoni loved it especially the puds
Wagamama – ExeterThe food was amazing for the price. will be going back again!!! loved it.
Kents The – TorquayA dozen of us ate a wide selection of meses - my companions seemed content enough but I thought the food was generally uninteresting, I wouldn't choose to eat any of it again; Lebanese beer was almost tasteless; surroundings were tatty; expensive for a selection of dull dishes that were all like starters - not a meal.
Al Farid – ExeterVery disappointed with the Barbican Kitchen, we were rushed, were not offered bread like everyone else and my order was wrong. Having booked this for my anniversary I was very disappointed and would not return. Morgans is much better and your treated like you should.
Barbican Kitchen – PlymouthThe perfect place to go for lovely food all home cooked nothing is to much trouble, the service was very good cheerful young girls to serve your food. the puddings are fantastic very moorish. would recommend a visit.
White Hart, The – CreditonRecently tried this restaurant again, after a couple of years absence. We were made very welcome and sat in the conservatory with outstanding views over Plymouth Sound. looking at Plymouth from this view gives a whole new aspect!! The food we ordered was first class, both in taste and presentation. Service was pleasant & non obtrusive, while their wine list tastefully matched the accompanying fish dishs. This restaurant may be difficult to get to, but you need to get there while you can still get a seat with a fantastic view & brilliant food.
Seawings Breakwater House – PlymouthHaving visited the Manor on a few occasions recently I must say that the quality of the food is superb. Last night i had cajun spiced gurnard and for £9-95 was one of the best main courses i have ever eaten. The menu is varied and there is a good choice of specials which change regularly. All the food is home cooked and the chef is excellent. Also recommend the fish & Chips & the goats cheese & vegetable lasagne.
Manor Inn – BrixhamAs we were looking looking for property in Weare Giffard we felt it important to try out the village eatery and pub.We arrived mid-week expecting the place to be pretty quiet but what we saw was a lively hub of the local community.We were expecting run of the mill pub grub but what we got could rival any local quality restaurant.The food was cooked to order and everyone in our group choose something different. What we ended up doing was having a taste of everyones meal. Maybe not quite the done thing but rather necessary as all the meals were delicious.Well done. We'll be back.
Cyder Presse – BidefordRoasted topside of beef, Slow-cooked belly pork or Homemade nut roast served with all the trimmings, £16.95.
Sunday Menu: 2 courses, £31; 3 courses, £39.50.
