Old Custom House – BarnstapleWent to the Sea Trout with a party of 8 friends on a Saturday evening in February and have to say it was fabulous! The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was amazing and i can particularly recommend the Scallops and Thai Seafood Curry. To finish off we all had some scrummy desserts and the landlord gave us all complimentary coffees. Great night all round, highly recommend it.
Sea Trout Inn, The – TotnesWe normally eat in the other Harry's Bar on Longbrooke St, but when we heard the owners had opened a second one we had to go and take a look. The atmosphere is very calm, there's spanish/jazz style music playing at a subtle volume, which works really well with the dim lighting and candles in the lounge. The bartender made sure we were looked after before being seated and the cocktails were made with a level of care and attention we'd never seen before. When we were seated, the waitresses and the manager were very obliging, and the food was excellent. We managed to get a table of two on a busy Thursday night, so we advise booking! All in all a wonderful place to eat, Exeter's best kept secret!
Harrys Grill Bar – Exeterwe recently are out at the church house inn, stokenham after a recommendation from friends. the food we ate was no doubt some of the best we had sampled in the local area. but unfortunately we are unlikely to be returning due to the poor service. the waitress was very attentive but the young barman was extremely arrogant, obnoxious, patronising, and very unkept in his appearance. we were very dissappointed that we had to wait for our bill whilst he ignorantly played cards with the locals. on this occasion the quality of the food was definitely over shadowed by the lack of care shown by the staff, which in our opinion is a real shame.
Church House Inn – KingsbridgeExcellent,Amazing.The best burgers in the world.
Hang Ten – Plymouthwell what can i say about this place. ive been twice for sit down meals and both times it was great,the staff are excellent especially roxy and the owner pete is great very welcoming.
Paramount – BidefordAbsoulutely brilliant. You just can't beat it. GO HERE!
Hang Ten – PlymouthWe visited this lovely restaurant while staying down in Exmouth last June to visit my daughter who had recently moved down to the area. Our landlady at the B+B recommended the Puffing Billy as it was my partner's birthday while we were there and we wanted to go somewhere nice. Her recommendation was certainly spot on - this is a lovely place and I hope to visit again soon. Food was excellent and first class service. One of the better places we've found!
Puffing Billy Inn – TopshamExcellent food, Excellent beer, Excellent staff. FIVE STAR
Cranford Inn – TorringtonWe had been to the Nibana a few weeks ago, (10 of us) could not fault it. We went again last night (Saturday). Booked a table for 2 for 7.30, by 8.30 we were told that the table we were on, was booked for 8.30 by some one else,so could you eat up and leave. The service had been rushed all night. I also noticed in the few weeks since we had been in the restaurant they had put in more tables & chairs. Getting a bit greedy.
Nibana Indian Restaurant – PlymouthExcellent setting and great carvery, loads of choice of veg (8 plus 3 types pots!), rest of menu was good as well, made it difficult to choose! Great desserts! Busy place but not too busy, staff very friendly Highly recommended!!
Nutwell Lodge The – ExeterAbsolutely lovely little gastropub, great food such as pork belly and wonderful pates to start. I go there regularly with my family because its quiet and friendly. There's a wide selection of great wines and excellent service with a sense of humour. *****
The Lazy Toad – ExeterGreat food, reasonable price and friendly service
Mutley Spice – PlymouthWe regularly come here for the Sunday Carvery. It's lovely - the best carvery roast potatoes in Devon so far and I have tried a few! Really friendly staff and my other half likes the cider!
The Hunting Lodge – IvybridgeWe spent a very enjoyable lunchtime at The Barbican Kitchen yesterday. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. They offer an express menu for £8.99 for 2 courses/ £9.99 for 3 courses or a more extensive menu if you are not as price or time conscious. I tried the tagliatelle for the main course with creme brulee for dessert and everything was delicious. We will thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
Barbican Kitchen – PlymouthMenu is extensive, food is good value for money. Always enjoy our meals there.
Tors, The – OkehamptonThis was the second time we have been here and have been pleased both times. The pub has lovely decor (the owners used to run The Ship at Noss Mayo and the pub has been furnished to the same standard) and good food. The duck pate was delicious. We were in a group and they served the food speedily and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The Duck Pate was about £4.95 and the main course (chicken and leak pie) was £12.95. The Sauvignon Viognier house wine was lovely and about £14 a bottle. I have heard (not sure how true it is though!) that in the summer they will do picnic hampers for you to sit by the lake which is a fab idea.
Turtley Corn Mill – South BrentGreat food, especially the burger and the spicy chicken, shame the drink prices are so steep.
Blues Bar and Grill – PlymouthSunday Menu: 2 courses, £31; 3 courses, £39.50.
