Reviews in Devon

A lovely meal, a set 3 course for about £15 all freshly cooked, the steak was to die for. not a roast dinner/carvery in sight, thank goodness. Try the salmon in a lime sauce, beautiful. The owner was very friendly and made us feel really welcome. a lovely old place beams etc. lovely.

The best roast dinners in Devon!! Will definitely be back again. Nice friendly atmos in the bar area too.

This restaurant is run by a couple with vast previous experience in the business. The lady, who I understand hails from Singapore, does the cooking and produces superb meals. The starters (typically £3.95) are varied and delicious. The main courses (typically £8.95) are mainly served with rice and super steamed vegetables. The wine list is excellent. It's a small place that is very busy at weekends, so book in advance. We've been there three times and it's certainly our favourite in this area.

We have visited several times now, as we are moving into the area, We feel very lucky to have such a lovely friendly place to eat so near to our new home.

Found this bistro by accident when visiting nearby University.. Over a few days we enjoyed really fresh shellfish and local fish, simply cooked with brilliant sauces. The wines at Bistro One are excellent with stuff from districts I'd never heard of! Like the atmosphere including the jazz. Breath of fresh air on our short visit to Plymouth.

We had a lovely meal.....their curries are superb, Sunday Lunches are good value too, plenty on a plate & well presented.

Excellent food and great beer, the only complaint would be the time between the starter and the main, didn? really have time to finish chewing on the starter before the main came.

My wife had a very nice evening here last year, great atmosphere on a Wednesday, very busy, great food - couldn? fault it

My Wife & I ate here on Valentines night 2007, and the restaurant was full! (Including an incredibly busy Take-Away service). Despite this, the disposition of the staff was nothing short of excellent at all times. The food was sublime as per usual and we had a fantastic time. I cannot praise them enough and I wish I could go again tonight!!!!

We were told of this new and wonderful pub that had just opened in Holsworthy, and we should go down and try the carvery. We travelled from Bude, and realised when we got there that the pub was the Old Market Inn. My first thoughts were, I've been here before and did not enjoy it one bit. However I was convinced by my partner to carry on with our plans. We met up with our friends inside the pub and wow what a difference. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We sat on the leather sofas reading the complementary papers until it was time to go through. We walked through to what was a busy yet very well organised restaurant and shown to our table by the courteous and bubbly waitress, and then up to the carvery. With a choice of three meats and endless veg and roast pots, it was hard to make my mind up. After eating what seemed to be a mountain of food we retired back to the bar for coffee and other refreshments. We would like to say a big thank you to the new owners for looking after us so well, and look forward to seeing them very soon. More than likely next Sunday.

the chips are good. the beer was cold

WOW!!! The food here was amazing never tasted anything like it. The service was great too. I will recommend this to all my friends.

Me and my family go to this restaurant every week from plymouth just to taste this exquiste food. Its soooooo amazing never tasted anything like it in any other indian restaurant. The staff are all very polite and smart. I recommend this to anyone coming into tavey you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I took 4 friends to ODE on 29th December 2006. We have eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants in London and to find the same quality tucked away in the beautiful village of Shaldon is just perfect!! The scallops I had were devine, as was the local 'melt in the mouth' Axminster beef. My wife's king prawns were delicious, perfectly cooked and subtly flavoured. Followed by poached brill which she praised all night. This was rounded off with a great selection of local Devon and Cornish Cheeses for me and a delicious chocolate mousse for the missus - well and truly stuffed!! The wine list is well balanced and very competitively priced. It must have been as we had 4 bottles of a very good value Chablis and a great priced silky smooth organic Chateauneuf du Pape - at £36 the most expensive on the wine list!! Not including the organic beers for the blokes!! We all had 3 courses plus the canapes and Entree (small taster of soup!!), 5 bottles of wine, 3 beers, port, coffees and it only came to £50 per head - outstanding value for the quality!! Many thanks to Clare and Tim for setting up this little gem. We will definitely be back!!

I stopped off the A30 for lunch, the manor house is beautiful, full of fine art and antiques, the staff were very friendly and professional, the set 3 course lunch was £19 I had a pre-starter spicy tomato soup, then a fantastic pork terrine with celeriac remoulade and walnut salad, a surprise intermediate course hinted to the more dramatic evening menu and was an assiette of tuna, tuna served in three ways; Nicoise, mousse with orange and peppered and seared with creme fraiche- really good! my main was pan fried Pollock with chorizo. I couldn't manage a pud. I took refuge in the lounge in front of a crackling fire to recover.

Excellent unexpected find in a charming village. Imaginative menu well cooked and presented. Peter is a real character and makes you feel very welcome. We will definitely be back.

I had an excellent meal here. The best vegetarian meal for miles.

We came in for lunch and as they were quiet, we were offered a private dining room at no extra cost. we sat looking over a small garden and fountain with a log fire burning. We felt like celebrities. We were looked after by a manic French lady who was the perfect host. we loved it...it's our new haunt!!
