Arundell Arms Hotel Restaurant in West Devon

Party for family and friends. The staff, food and atmosphere were second to none. Thank you for making my party so memorable!! Staff could not do enough and the presentation of the room was beautiful!!

Had a choice of eating in the bar or restaurant and chose the more informal bar area. Good choice on the menu, and I opted for the fish which was lovely, followed by sticky toffee pudding. Shame the only real ale available was in bottles, otherwise excellent.

We went for dinner to catch up with some family members. The service was good. The selection of food was excellent as was the food itself. The staff made it an enjoyable event.

Great service. The staff were very welcoming and looked after us very well. Exceptional food. Well cooked and presented.

I took the short journey off the A30 to have some food at this restaurant. The food was delicious (venison suet pudding and chocolate bread and butter pudding off the specials). Service very accommodating and the speed of service was good. Fully recommend.

Great spot for Tesla owners - fast chargers (16 x 250kw) and lovely food and service in the bar. Scotch egg was perfect and avo on toast more than enough 👍

We had a fantastic evening in the restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble for Julie to make sure we had what we needed and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The food was spot on(perfectly cooked sirloin steak) and a dessert to die for of warm bread and butter pudding with banoffee sorbet and chocolate garnish. Amelia was also serving us and was a delight and friendly. We’ve been several times to the Arundell, but this was the best ever. Ps try their own cider, it’s very appley.

Immediately upon entering, it felt warm, cosy and was really tastefully decorated and furnished. We really enjoyed our meal, it was presented beautifully and very tasty! Service was quick and friendly. Cannot wait to return.

Amazing lunch experience, delicious food and also in an excellent setting. Charity lunch for RNLI so also a very worthy cause. Highly recommended

Yet again an excellent meal. Very bubbly lady that looked after us excellently. Will always come back whenever we are in Devon. See you in April!

What an amazing forward thinking place. Visiting local clients I needed to use a Tesla Supercharger(v4). I was delighted when I found they had a lovely Tea Room with facilities. I had a coffee and cake whist charging in a wonderful setting. I’ll definitely visit again.

I wasn't expecting such a find as it is a very quiet country area. We were staying here for a Christmas break and thought we would try it out. The food is outstanding and we eat in the restaurant which is absolutely beautiful and very classy. totally unexpected but we would definitely go back. The staff were so nice and couldn't have been more helpful.

Three best friends booked this hotel for a weekend of fishing. Rain stopped play so we reverted to the hotel and had a fantastic weekend. Accommodation was lovely, food was first class and the staff were amazing. Kerenza and Amy were so attentive and looked after us amazingly. Couldn’t have done more for us.

Food was great, service was good….BUT!! It was totally impersonal, ZERO ambiance and we came away feeling very disappointed. What was all that about for nearly £100, for drinks and dinner for two?? Plus my Bread and Butter pudding was dry and stale! However, my wife’s Sticky Toffee Pud was great! Not a place I would go back to or recommend to my friends.

We stopped off to charge our car. The service and food was fantastic. All members of staff very helpful.

This is one of our favourite places, both in bar and Sunday lunch in restaurant. We’ve eaten here several times in past year and always been pleased. Although the menu doesn’t change very often the food is normally very good, so we were disappointed this week when it didn’t live up to its usual standard. Disappointing, tasteless soup which had skin on top - we had eaten the same soup previously and it had been delicious. Followed by 2 tasteless dishes, fish risotto and venison sausages. The burgers were better. Maybe there was a different chef but whatever, it didn’t make for a great eating out experience.

Great spot, close to the dual carriageway, for Sunday lunch. Excellent roasts and puddings, good vegetarian alternatives and unusual smaller plates in a lovely and expensively restored building. Some inexperienced staff - but made up for and then some by talent in the kitchen. Gift shop and deli on sight too.

Cozy place, delicious offer, VERY tasty Croissants & variety of pastries, friendly staff - a must for savourer

Had an excellent experience right from the initial booking, where the lady I spoke to was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious, the table we had was in a lovely location in the restaurant, and the staff were fantastic. So friendly, attentive and efficient. The whole atmosphere was welcoming so we’ve decided to make this our regular meet up point. Really really impressed.

We had a really lovely dinner here. Amy the waitress was incredible covering the restaurant and outer venue as well. I think she was on roller skates but still managed to stop and have a conversation and smiled the whole time. The food was very nice and look forward to returning soon.

We were in the area and turned up for lunch without a booking. They found us a table in the bar, away from the rest of the guests given we were there with 2 small kids. 3 course lunch menu was £21.50. It was just delicious and beautifully presented. Kids meals were £8.95 but huge; 1 pasta was more than enough for our 2 (aged 4 & 6). The staff were very attentive and friendly to us and the kids. A very nice find. One to search out for if you’re in the area.

We visited in a group of 6 recently for lunch.We live in the village but this was our first visit under the new ownership and we were very impressed.The bar wa stoo noisy to eat in due to roadworks but the staff were very helpful and moved us into the lovely restaurant.The food was excellent,service good,frindly staff and excellent value.We will definitely be back

Lunch booking for four, our friends were late due to a motorway closure. Accommodating and helpful staff in the bar pushed the table back by 30 mins and we were ushered into the lounge for a drink. When we did sit down to eat we were given a lovely table, and looked after very well. Would definitely return.

Too many hotels these days have owners who want to keep completely out of sight and in the background. Hiding away from their customers. Not so here. Simon and his team continue to provide a very well led business and deserve every compliment going. The hotel is a bit of a British institution and is well worth visiting. I think Simon and his wife have only been at the helm for a couple of years and it must have been an incredibly tough period for them with Covid etc. but if they continue to keep the customer at the centre of what they do then continued success will follow for sure. Thanks for a fabulous couple of days stay and for taking the time to chat to your guests (not just me!). A great experience and you should be applauded. Best wishes.

As always a superb meal. Staff were friendly and helpful so we had a good experience. Have been going here off and on for about 40 years started when Ann Vosbark was running the hotel .

Exceptional welcome, stunning coffee, cosy fire. Lovely deli with 100% charm. Also brilliant charging for Tesla EV’s on the way to or back from Cornwall.

We had occasion to visit the Arundell Arms Deli for a light lunch today when our planned venue was unfortunately closed. A most fortuitous find - lovely food with generous portions, friendly staff and a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a real fire in the hearth adding a lovely touch. Wine was available to purchase from the cooler at a modest corkage fee. Will definitely go there again. Only downside, not many gluten free options unfortunately.

We had a really lovely meal here, the food was fantastic very tasty and cooked perfectly and lovely presentation. The waiting staff were very polite and welcoming , and it’s a lovely setting. We had coffees in the lounge after. We had a very enjoyable...

The room was very comfortable and an excellent atmosphere. The menu is varied with good choices both usual and unusual, and the overall quality was excellent. Staff were helpful and attentive, but not intrusive.

I had never been for dinner here and will definitely be coming back. The food is some of the best we have found in this area and the place is really lovely with the friendliest staff. I would definitely recommend it for a night out.

This has always been one of our favourite places to dine, either for a special occasion or just a meal and have also written reviews over the years but must say the lunch we had on Sunday was exceptional. Five of us had a different...

Wonderful Deli - tasty pasties & pastries. Stopped en route to and from Cornwall for a car charge and coffee break. Beautiful sunny garden to sit in. Very tempted to hear about fishing breaks run by the hotel.

After hearing about the new Deli at the Arundell Arms my wife went to visit and she wasn’t disappointed and arrived home with some lovely marinated olives, beautiful wild garlic pesto and two amazing steak pasty’s and we will be back again soon for more beautiful produce and we must mention how smart and polite the young man was last Saturday.

I am reviewing the hotel bar dining experience only, as we live locally and love to eat here.We have been looking forward to the re-opening of The Arundell Restaurant and at last on 19th December we had dinner in the hotel bar.Simon and Arabella have lovingly refurbished and refreshed the interior, making it feel welcoming, cosy and Covid safe.The food was stunningThe staff were friendly, polite and looked very smart and nothing was too much trouble.We love that it is informal dining to the highest level without being pretentious.Oh and i say again - the food was stunning

Amazing food - consistently delicious, and high-end but not at all pretentious. Sustainable menu with plenty of local game and fish, expertly produced by the superb chef.

The new owners have put tremendous effort into bringing this iconic fishing and shooting hotel back up to par. we had lunch there yesterday in the bar. The Covid restrictions were being closely adhered to which is reassuring. Fire burning bright. Excellent food, attentive staff, they have retained the services of Steve Pidgeon as chef. This is great news and the quality of our meal was exceptional. I had the beef, rare sirloin and brisket, rich and unctuous. The sea bass was soft and cooked to perfection with a very flavoursome sauce and the tempura anchovies had a real wow factor. The menu included other tantalising dishes too. Things are really looking up for the future and it is accessible now whilst we are in Teir 2.

My family and I went for a gorgeous lunch at the Arundell arms just yesterday. We were afraid that the hotel would now be too different or spoilt by the new owners. But it was the absolute opposite. They were all so kind, and the food was mouth watering. Real care and consideration had gone into making our trip special, for example the beautifully selected cheese board and wine list. The hotel itself was looking amazing, beautiful new furniture but with the same Arundell ambiance. Will definitely be returning here as often as possible, for family lunches, evenings out and drinks in the amazing garden. Big congrats to new owners Simon and Arabella.

We had an enjoyable short stay here with iurvtwobdogs. The wholevteammofvstwff were brilliant. Doog bedsbin the room with a welcome treat, blanket and poo bags. The tasting menu was great and were the breakfasts and service. Will be back.

We had a short break for my birthday and enjoyed the tasting menu, the steak deal, 2 breakfasts and an afternoon tea. All were delicious served by friendly staff in a comfortable atmosphere. It is a good job I live 150 miles away as frequent visits would be ruinous for my waistline!

We were only there two days and we eat in the hotel both nights and we also had breakfast there.The choice of food in the evening is excellent and the quality of the dishes provided is outstanding,including Mains and Desserts.The choice at Breakfast is excellent,Full English if you wish and Continental a variety of Cereals,Croissants,Toast,Coffee,fruit etc Exceptionally clean tables and Decor.

Friendly welcome & lovely, clean, elegant room. Our dog was welcomed & catered for,a dog bed,towel,bowl,biscuit & bags were in the room waiting for him, a sausage was cooked at breakfast for him. We are Vegan & the chef planned meals for us, nothing was too much trouble. We will be returning.

On reading some reviews I often wonder whether I have been in the same place but this time,reviews for restaurant and hotel have been spot on with their praise. Went for lunch on New Year day, in the bar area as we have 3 dogs between us. Really good. It is such a welcoming place with excellent food. You can sit in the lounge after lunch and no one will hustle you away.The new wood burner is good too giving out a lot of heat!After what must have been a very busy night for the staff with the New Year celebrations they were still most attentive. I have an added feel for the Arundell, my late husband was evacuated from Plymouth in the 1940's and went to the school, now where the hampers/ shop is,also went on the one day fishing course which was most enjoyable so it's not just food to be enjoyed.

Attentive, but not over attentive, service in an excellent and well maintained hotel. My friend's dog was also made most welcome and bonded with the hotel dog. £4.80 for a pint of Dartmoor Jail Ale is pushing it. Rugglestone Inn £3.40. Food is reasonably priced and good choice.

A very clean and friendly hotel.The staff were very pleasant and helpful.Beautiful large lounge with attractive decor.The dining room was immaculately laid out and very clean and the house of breakfast excellent.The bar area was comfortable ,but price more high end.Parking was very good .The room we had was very clean and the 6ft bed very comfortable.The floors creaked a lot,but it’s to be expected as it’s an old building.It had everything you need hair dryer,dressing gowns, toiletries ,lovely big towels,tissues,tea and coffee facilities and water.The downside was the shower was difficult to use and was set to a very high power and the plug in the sink was not working properly.We reported it so I would think they are going to sort it out.We had a reduced coupon from travelogue which was I think half price.However,I would not want to pay the full price for this hotel.There is very little to do in Lifton unless you want to fish or shoot,so we had to travel further.

Stopped here for lunch in summer and to charge our Tesla. Food was very nice and the tea was excellent but there were not many options for vegetarians and if you are vegetarian because you don’t want animals to die /suffer... beware... there is hunting and angling memorabilia everywhere including stuffed animals etc.

Extremely dog friendly hotel with accommodation and restaurant facilities for pet owners. Visited with my dog for an evening meal but was rather disappointed; although good the food was not exceptional and was rather expensive. Charging £8 for a large glass of Pinot Grigio was excessive considering that this is a cheap wine. Also visited the hotel pub, popular with the locals and where prices are much cheaper. This hotel has a very high reputation for its food so perhaps I was unfortunate on this occasion, I plan to return to sample the tasting menu which is the subject of excellent reviews.

Chose to stay here for a four nights over Christmas as it is a dog friendly hotel. We opted for the Xmas package which included some tasting dinners, Xmas lunch and evening buffet. On Boxing Day the local hunt met there Overall a lovely experience, the rooms where a good size and beds comfortable, the quality of the food was outstanding, the hotel had good bar, lovely dining room and a beautiful lounge to relax in and local dog walks but what made it special was the staff who where professional, friendly and helpful this also seemed to rub off on the other guests who also friendly which was possibly due to everyone having their dogs which prompted conversation.

We were running out of time to use a stocking filler hotel gift voucher and chose this hotel and what a find. Great service, great food , lovely ambience. Upgraded our room on second night which was an added bonus.

Only one word to describe, Superb! The service, food, the room was first-rate. Book a stay,they get everything right.

Booked for a sunday lunch with two friends very dissapointing, when we arrived we were shown into the longe and given a menu by the bar server, then we were forgotten over half an hour later i had to find someone to take our order, spoke to the barman and he said someone will be with you 20mins later no one- went looking again found young lady who then took our order, almost 1 hr from arriving we were given our starters that was all fine no problem , then we waited and waited!! 1/2hr for roast beef, when it came it was tough and very fatty the potatoes were inedible like rocks well overdone, the yorkshire pudding was burnt!! my friend asked if king alfred had cooked them, no gravy just a so called jue that was like jam basically how someone could mess up like this and serve it god only knows, we complained and the barman came in and offered us 10% discount should not have paid anything really and stood my ground did not make up for the drive from plymouth there , I dont really want to go out and have a half hearted attempt at a sunday roast and have discount, I just want a decent meal at a decent price and good service if you want the same dont go there!!! give it a wide berth very poor

My favourite supercharger location so far! 6 bays plus some non Tesla points too. Excellent food in the hotel bar. Great service and dog friendly too. Highly recommended.

The food and service was very goo, nice ambience, and a lovely lounge you can have your coffee in after. You may need to book, even if you are a resident at the hotel, as it is very popular

We were very impressed by this hotel restaurant. Breakfasts are very ample and delicious; we dined on three nights, and the Tasting Menu (with wine flights) on our third night was remarkable. In our case an exquisite gazpacho-like soup with nutmeg cream, a fillet of grey mullet, and then, after the raspberry sorbet palate-cleanser, the best roasted fillet of duck we have every tasted. The pairing of dishes with wines was thoughtful and truly creative. The white Quinta do Casal Monteiro was a superb accompaniment to the mullet.

We decided to have a "light dinner" as we had eaten well at lunch time and so opted for the beef salad and ham salad which we ate in the bar. The plates were piled high with plenty of beef, delicious home cooked ham, potato salad, coleslaw, sun dried tomatoes, capers, different types of breads and a side salad to top it off! The portions were big and the food was really good. Unfortunately no room for puddings. The waiting staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome.

As someone on a low carb diet, I can find it difficult whilst eating away from home. We ate in the bar twice. My first dinner was five different grilled fish served with extra salad. Each of the fish were cooked perfectly. My daughter had a roast beef salad with generous amounts of thickly sliced medium rare beef. The 2nd time my daughter must have loved hers so much, she had it a second time, whilst I went with a sirloin steak and salad. Looking at plates arriving at other tables, I could easily have gone off piste and enjoyed any of the carb rich options. A nice relaxed atmosphere with a dog or two sleeping under their owners tables. No dogs in the main restaurant, just the bar. Parking was difficult the first night as there was a gathering of Porsche owners staying in the hotel, There are quite a few charging points for electric cars.

Dreadful August 2019 previous years wonderful finger sandwiches with 3fillings lovely cakes and strawberry’s dipped in chocolate This year uncouth sandwiches cut in four crusts left on and two fillings plus tray baked cake cut into squares just what you would get at a road side cafe

Totally ruined my mums birthday.

Eight of us on a walking trip to Devon, booked a table for supper in the restaurant, and were very pleasantly surprised to find we had an exclusive room in which to dine. The restaurant was very nice - traditional, but that was what we were expecting. Service and food were good, and everyone enjoyed the evening as we had very pleasant waitresses and waiter. Prices were on the upper side compared with some local pubs we'd visited, but so was the quality and presentation, so we felt it was worth the extra cost. This is a very traditional hotel, and the areas we visited were warm and inviting, which included reception, the bar, the restaurant and the lounge. Toilets were also very clean. We can't comment on the bedrooms as we weren't staying.

Certainly do not cater for business travellers Small boiling hot pokey room overlooking the main road finally got a reasonable room in a annexe across the road Dinner was a 15 quid raw cheeseburger and chips will certainly be finding a takeaway tomorrow

We found the service slow, no atmosphere and food nothing special considering the cost. We stayed in Lifton 4 nights and decided not to return to eat at this venue.

We were recommended this restaurant by our neighbour and said we should try it,so we decide to eat there on Monday night in the bar as the restaurant only served a set tasting menu with no choice.My wife had the scallops with chorizo which she said was okay but lacked seasoning and I had the risotto what was bland and boring for main course we both had fish with both dishes being bland as well and limp chips ,we did mention this to the waiting staff and only had a sorry back and that was it ,our first time and last .

First time visit to the Arundell Arms. Food was amazing they presented a selection of bread that was home made and very moreish I had the scallops - the biggest I’ve ever seen. My partner had the soup with was full of flavour. We both had steak as our main. No room for pub though ☹️ Service was very attentive by all and Stephen the restaurant manager took time out to come over and have a chat, even though every table was taken and was the bar was very busy with a great atmosphere.

This is my local and nearest restaurant that has until recently been up on a pedistal. It is however living on borrowed time unless it addresses some serious issues with the catering and service. I booked the restaurant menu but requested it be served in the bar area, however this had not been communicated to the team by the front desk / reception. We were given bar menus and when my wife and I querried this we were told that the restaurant only serves a tasting menu and if we wanted anything else we would have to chose from the bar menu. Really? This is not a recipe for success.

My partner and I spent one night at the Arundell Arms over the weekend. We'd decided to treat ourselves to lunch on arrival as we were out in the evening and wouldn't be able to make dinner. Having stayed at the Arundell a few years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and after reading all the good reviews on here, we were really looking forward to it! Lunch was served in the bar area. I ordered the risotto and my partner ordered the fish mixed grill. My plate of risotto looked more like a plate of porridge, and had absolutely no flavour whatsoever. It really was inedible and I had to send it back. Instead, I played it safe and ordered a bowl of leek and potato soup. The soup was really thin and unappealing. My partner's fish mixed grill was just average. Really disappointing, after having such high hopes!

Met friends here for a birthday celebration. Great food. Lovely hospitality. Very good base to tour from. Good access from the north Would come back to take advantage of the fishing

This is a lovely Restaurant serving fine food. The Taster and Bar menus are both delicious. Dogs are very welcome at the tables in the bar. On fine days you can also chose to dine in the lovely garden.

We have visited on numerous occasions and always look forward to our stop. Excellent paninis and rare beef sandwich. Good choice of beers and cider. Parking at rear with electric car charging points in car park.

We stopped for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Very kind and friendly staff. Excellent wine. Food was great. Will go back. This is such a beautiful and restful area of the country.

The Arundell Arms is lovely, historic, small hotel.

The hotel prides itself on the food provided. Ate here twice during our stay and had the 5 course taster menu on the first night which was superb. Matching wines available. Classical style food which was flavourful and beautifully presented. The menu changes daily so difficult to make a recommendation although the duck and the pannacotta courses were amazing.

Booked here for a Tuesday evening meal for 6.

Such a great choice whilst staying here for two nights. Cereals, fresh fruit salad, yogurt, nuts, seeds, patiseries, toast, full cooked English, fish, eggs (cooked many ways) to name a few. All this with great friendly service nothing was too much trouble.

Had a two night break here as a gift from family but it was on a room only basis. Breakfast was then an extra £15pp per day. The hotel has a large car park with several electric car charging points. We checked in quickly and were allocated room 5 at the top of the stairs. A lovely big room and traditionally appointed. Excellent shower, pins you to the floor! It is an old building so the floors are not all level and our bed was on a tilt. The staff were most obliging when I mentioned this after our first night and when we refused their offer to change rooms for the second night they corrected the mattress by placing pillows under it to level it off which worked. Breakfast was served in the elegant dining room with a good choice for either continental or full. We took the full breakfast the first day with my husband having the full English while I had eggs Benedict, and they were well presented and tasty. A good choice of hot options were available so I had pancakes the second morning which were also very enjoyable. We had a snack in the bar one evening, just a starter each as we had eaten out earlier in the day. The bar area was busy with diners and the two girls serving on the bar and waiting tables were very pleasant and helpful. Our food was again well presented and tasty. Not the cheapest food we have ever had but it was good. A lovely break and we would return.

Afternoon tea such a disappointment as present for my mum. Dry bread..and dry cake. Such a let down as a lovely place.
