Beth's Bistro in South Hams

Popped in for Lunch whilst visiting Dartmouth and glad we found this Bistro The food was excellent and reasonably priced I had mixed seafood and it was lovely very nice place and pretty busy & we offered to shared our table with a couple of strangers and soon good chatting and having a great time, The owner appreciated us sharing the table as brought in a couple more customers who would otherwise have gone elsewhere, nice if others do the same - you never know you may get on and meet some lovely people will certainly return here the next time we go to Dartmouth

Very friendly people who provide tasty food in a park setting near to the River Dart. Prices are low, and quality of food excellent.

BETHS BY THE PARK - nothing like Beth’s Bistro?? !! Awful place, terrible value of their customers. Shouting at customers if a friend comes over with an item bought from elsewhere - even if just standing there, a member of staff repeatedly running out shouting at customers trying to humiliate them and their children, also swearing at them in front of children ! Unbelievable and shocking. It’s a park and it’s regatta! Although I imagine they always behave this way. - People meet up or pass through, it’s a park a public area. What a massive massive shame anchorstone left, it was far superior . Now taken over with cheap road side style hot dogs and chips, processed cakes in wrappers, nothing homemade, no ice cream hatch anymore. I could begrudgingly accept this unfortunate change, but the way we were spoken to and how we witnessed others experience abuse, it is something I have never had before in Dartmouth or anywhere else for that matter- Dartmouth a place we love and have been coming to for many many years. We will now avoid the cafe. But they will not stop our family and friends coming to the park. To sum up abusive member of staff, no value to customers and foul language in front of children, also poor quality food. Hope they’re not still here next year and that a friendly owner has taken over 🙏🙏🙏

Our family had a lovely lunch in the park. We have been to Beth's Bistro many times as it was one of our favourite places in Dartmouth. Now Beth and her team are concentrating just on the Park cafe. We have always found the people there to be really friendly and helpful. I have read some reviews recently which are simply unrecognisable of the place and people that I have always found.

Well we’ll well ! We are holiday and we decided to stop here as it looked a perfect family cafe ! I ordered two Coffees for 8€ to which my daughters had milk free snacks and a special Drink due to calcium defects ! As there allergy is severe we are very careful where they eat so we bring our own made snacks for non contamination ! We were all relaxing to which I can only put as a very moody lady comes over and says you can’t have this here as it has to be bought here I explained my children were severe milk allergy and we had just bought two coffees for 8 pound ! Not only did this make us feel uncomfortable but also my children were embarrassed ! Let me tell you greediness will not make you more money and learn some politeness in front of children ! Your cafe is outside and next to a park all people have various needs for different food ! I’m from London and you need to learn how to run a family business in a family park lucky my children was with me otherwise you would of been swiftly told my thoughts ! No wonder your business is empty most days hopefully people willl read this and will learn before you know it Dartmouth will just be Left with students no tourists due to greedy businesses

We stopped by Beth’s by the park in the morning for a coffee last week. It was lovely and we had a great chat with the man that works there. 7 out of the 8 members of the family members decided to return there for lunch as we had had such a pleasant experience in the morning. My husband was unable to join us for lunch as he has celiacs disease and unfortunately there wasn’t anything there he could eat. Whilst we went there for lunch, he popped into town and bought his own lunch which he ate whilst on his travels. He also bought food for his dinner that evening and returned to meet us at Beth’s. He popped his shopping bag in front of me to show me what he had bought (and bearing in mind that I had just eaten a large lunch there) and within a split second, a Scottish woman came out screaming to me that only food that was bought here could be eaten. This was not said in a polite or quiet manner. I was mortified. I could not even fight my case as her abuse was hurled at me and she quickly retreated! I have never been more embarrassed, as every other customer there was staring, also looking shocked! To treat anyone the way this woman treated me was unacceptable. I had already seen the copious amounts of signs stating only food purchased here could be eaten here and had no intention of eating my husbands dinner on top of the lunch I had just eaten. All of the good work the man had put in in the morning had been destroyed in a second and no amount of decent tasting coffee could EVER make me return to this place or recommend it to anyone again. Unless of course you are looking for one of those “Karen diners” experience.

Beth wouldn’t know customer service if it slapped her in face. People in customer facing roles should do much better. Good luck in the winter Beth

i visited Beth’s By the Park for some lunch with freinds and family as soon as we sat down the man approached us and said we couldn’t sit there as the tables were for customers only we explained we were waiting for more people, we then ordered some drinks while deciding what to get for food and my freind who has strict dietary needs was eating a small mouthful of fruit when the very rude scottish lady came over and shouted again we couldn’t eat there bearing in mind we were just about to order there was also other tables who had there own food but were not told off, went up and ordered at the till the women at till was very abrupt and not very friendly, ordered a £6! tuna sandwich for it to come slapped on a paper plate id expect it to come with a bit of garnish on the side or something and look a bit more presentable, they also shout out your order number the women behind the counter didn’t even give us a chance to stand up before she screeched out the number again, i can now see why most of the tables were empty! overall was an awful experience

Usually I’m not a lover of the eggs Benedict but I decided to try again and have hope I’m this place and it didn’t disappoint i guess it just depends on the days and who’s cooking!

We found Beth’s Bistro to be a lovely happy place with friendly staff serving quality food in a relaxed clean and well decorated bistro. It looks clean and welcoming when you walk in and it continues from there. A quality All Day Breakfast will fill you up for a day. The coffee is excellent and a mention too for the lemon sponge that is divine! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and it shows that the owner really cares about his customers. We will definitely return.

We tried Beth’s Bistro for breakfast last Sunday and will definitely return. The service we received was just lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely return.

We had a lovely lunch, everything was freshly prepared. Dear second child is a bit of a fusspot but they were so helpful and accommodating which meant the rest of us could relax and enjoy the delicious food. There was a great range of things to eat including vegan and GF options. We hope to visit again.

Had seen reviews of this cafe when we were planning our trip to Dartmouth and were not disappointed. Nicely decorated and the staff were really friendly. Lovely fry up too.

We just wanted a decent breakfast before the long drive home. We found it, and it was fabulous! Will definitely return.

We dropped in while in Dartmouth and found a little gem. Having coffee etc and a member of staff sat and told us how to get to certain places which saved us a lot of time.. Clean with good food and a nice ambiance ..

Popped in here for lunch. Very friendly staff and a really extensive menu, so much so, I had difficulty choosing. I opted for the poached eggs and haggis which was very tasty and quite filling. My wife had the kipper which was very good too....

Family friendly atmosphere. Staff knew their menu well and the tastes of the beers available. Had the the king prawns in batter which was fantastic. Other half had salt and pepper squid again, delicious. Well recommend. We will definitely be back

Called in with a friend about 10 days ago as a well earned pitstop after a walk out to the castle and back. Great coffee and without doubt the best welcome I have received at any food venue for a long time. We only wanted...

Stopped in for brunch on a Saturday. It was off season and very quiet. Had been meaning to try for a while but it gets so busy during the weekends. Food was great and good portion size. Service was friendly but attentive. Loved the ambience...

The same friendly, service and lovely food we’ve come to expect at Beth’s. We enjoy it so much that if we nearby we visit Dartmouth just to have lunch here. Today we both had the haddock, salmon and monk fish chowder with crusty bread. Perfect...

Lovely find on a blustery day. Can’t beat a kipper cooked to perfection with a bottle of Seahorse beer. Topped off with great service.

Not the first time we have had breakfast here and it’s really pleasing the food is still great with friendly service. We had the full English which was a very good portion size with 2 slices of bread. All elements cooked well and very tasty.

Thanks to Trip Advisor reviews we went here for lunch, it’s very close to the ferry from Kingsmere and was perfect to eat there before heading around Dartmouth. Warm welcome as we walked in and such a nicely decorated bright place to sit in. The...

Visited at lunch time good choice of food and drinks. Quick service very friendly staff. All food freshly prepared and very well presented. Very reasonably priced

Ambling through the little streets of Dartmouth we came upon this little Bistro and decided to give it a go. Well, how glad we were! Excellent menu, all freshly prepared and cooked. My husband had the big breakfast and it sure was! Our friend and...

So looked forward to my crab sandwich after the 7 mile walk along the coastal path and Beth’s did not disappoint. Delicious, fresh and a real treat, thank you

Came to Beth’s with my partner on the last morning of our holiday to Devon, as we obviously had to have a cream tea for breakfast 😅 I had a plain scone, my partner had a fruit one. They were lovely, and so big! Also...

Good selection of foods on menu. Lovely breakfast. Staff helpful. Dog friendly 🐶 Will visit again when in Dartmouth 👍😀😀

Very tasty food, very friendly staff, reasonable price, nice atmosphere, family runned place, must visit!!!

Wanted somewhere different and Beth's was great. The food was good and the staff were friendly. Well worth a visit. The bistro is right next to a popular cafe, but it can more than hold its own.

We had a lovely afternoon tea here at the end of the Regatta. The staff were friendly (great with the children), the scones were delicious (as were my daughter's chips; the menu had loads of lovely sounding options) and the place was really clean -...

Small cafe but friendly, clean and a wide selection on the menu. Catered for our one year old really well, making something not on the menu for her, as well as providing colouring while we waited and some smaller cutlery when the food arrived. Delicious...

We called in for an impromptu scone and cream. We got the table for 6, and everything was perfect. Scones were warm and fresh, clotted cream was thick and tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Oh, and we washed it down with a glass of...

I had high hopes for this cafe based on reviews, my husband and I stopped for lunch. Good choice on the menu, I chose a sandwich and the bread was dry then I opted for a chocolate brownie which was also dry but the cream...

Beths bistro was lovely. We popped in at 1pm, they had two tables for two that they couldn’t put together. Luckily another family were just finishing so staff said they would reserve the table for us give them 10 minutes. The table was ready on...

We went to have breakfast at Alf’s, renowned for the atmosphere and quirky set up. The queue was long and maybe worth the wait. The end of the queue was at the door to Beth’s Bistro which had just opened, welcomed dogs and he’d a...

This is a must if you are visiting Dartmouth. We had an amazing breakfast, and the service was 1st class. A beautiful little bistro with gorgeous food and amazing staff. I could not fault anything about our experience there.

We visited here 4 times for breakfast ( they serve it all day!) I had the vegetarian breakfast while my partner had the Dartmouth English breakfast. Both were delicious and you can have your eggs cooked any way you want. The veggie sausage was amazing....

Ate on Thursday 4th August, good menu. The ladies serving were friendly and made the visit. Good food and would recommend and revisit when next in Dartmouth

A really great place for lunch. Good food and very welcoming staff. Thoroughly recommend having an enjoyable and relaxing meal or snack at Beth’S Bistro.

Lovely place with really friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices and well-presented food. Glad we stumbled upon this little bistro.

We happened to stumble across this lovely bistro. The manager was part of the staff, making sure there were enough chairs & highchairs for everyone. Nothing was too much trouble, kids can have anything off the menu in smaller portions, food was plentiful & very...

We had a fantastic breakfast here this morning whilst on our weeks holiday in Dartmouth.. 8 hrs later and we are still full! Very accommodating (daughter wanted something not on the breakfast menu which they cooked for her), friendly staff, reasonably priced and even the...

Brilliant place great service . Food excellent . Great location. No need to book . Staff very friendly . Very clean and tidy place plenty of seating .

Beth’s was recommended to us for breakfast and it did not disappoint- lovely friendly staff, great menu and very clean restaurant. The breakfast was fantastic. The Dartmouth full English was delicious (so my husband says) and will keep you going all day, even the standard...

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. We’ll worth a visit. Recommend the pepperoni and mozzarella panini with bbq sauce!

Staff were welcoming & polite, from the moment I entered Beth's. Exceptional service from all the staff, nothing was too hard for them. The vegetarian breakfast, was well cooked & presented on the plate with care. Tasted as good as it looked, will definitely be...

We had heard good reviews of Beths Bistro, and as our usual restaurant was very busy, thought we would try. The overall effect is good, comfortable seating and friendly staff. My partner had a coffee and a bacon and egg bagel, which he enjoyed. I...

Without doubt the best breakfast in Dartmouth !!!! We had a fabulous breakfast served by and cooked by staff that really care about your experience at the Bistro!!

We called in yesterday & both had scampi chips & salad…..amazing very tasty scampi! I had hot chocolate which was so delicious.As well as the food being excellent & well priced, the staff made it a very enjoyable experience ,great to go to a place...

We enjoyed a lunchtime meal here, after randomly picking the place while walking around Dartmouth. We found everyone very friendly and the menu was very extensive for such a small place. There was so much on the menu that we liked the look of that...

My partner and I stopped in on a sundry Saturday morning. The service was good and we were served a tasty wholesome breakfast, with quality ingredients. However, it was a shame that they charged for the condiments for the toast.

Friendly staff & excellent food make this a great place to eat in Dartmouth. The menu is varied & the specials are so good it's hard to know what to choose. They also sell excellent cakes.

What a find! From the moment we arrived until we left, the quality of service was exceptional….the waitress was polite, efficient and attentive. Unlike so many places, the breakfast menu continued during the lunch service alongside an extensive lunch menu and specials board. I had...

Took my 6 year old for breakfast this morning, the staff made us feel very welcome, with an outstanding service and excellent food. All the staff interacted with my child, making him feel at ease, and we left with full tummy's and smiles on our...

The staff here deliver a really nice service and make you feel very welcome as soon as you enter. We arrived without a booking and with our dog, but we were seated immediately and the staff brought a water bowl for our dog. The food...

What a find! Our waitress couldn’t have been nicer, the gluten free breakfast (at lunchtime😋) was amazing, and dog friendly too! Definitely recommend this wonderful cafe.

Visited for breakfast and so glad we did. Fantastic, friendly service accompanied by a delicious and tasty breakfast and a top coffee.

Stopped here for lunch during our day trip to Dartmouth whilst holidaying in Brixham. But, luckily for me they were continuing to serve breakfast past 12 o'clock. I had the large breakfast and the rest of the family had a mixture from the menu. The...

We were VERY fortunate to get a table as walk-ins at lunchtime today. We were treated exceptionally well by all staff members and their charm and warmth helped with the whole experience. My daughters vegan all day breakfast was “Fantastic” my chicken goujons were perfectly...

If you want beautifully cooked healthy food, served in a spotlessly clean environment this is the best restaurant to go to in Dartmouth. I am recovering from chemo and fancy nothing - but the meals here are delicious and I loved the mushrooms in cream!...

Popped in just for coffee this morning. Not only excellent coffee, service was professional but friendly. Such delightful staff. After enquiring about crab sandwich decision was made to return for lunch. Mightily impressed by how few miles the crab had travelled before it appeared beautifully...

The food was delicious - couldn't fault it. The service from the staff was very friendly & welcoming. Would highly recommend

What a lovely little place! The staff were so warm and welcoming. The menu choice was fantastic, we went for the panini’s which didn’t disappoint, it come with a nice side salad and crisps. We also ordered a bowl of fries to share which were...

We have visited Beth’s a few times now and all of the staff are really helpful and friendly..we were made really welcome.. and we were never rushed irrelevant of the time.. The bistro is dog friendly and the staff always acknowledged our little dog which...

Back again for the amazing cream teas and excellent friendly service. Great price for excellent food and well worth the cost of the ferry crossing.

Great food. Breakfast served all day Even gave us a sausage for the hound! Staff very friendly. I would recommend this place

We stopped in before our Dart River cruise. Lovely cuppa and an awesome bacon/egg bagel. Service was friendly and efficient.

Here on a busy Monday; small café but the menu and service were exceptional. The staff all work hard to give you a warm welcome and to provide you with some cracking food. All of our dishes were excellent. Great place to eat and is...

Had breakfast with a friend, she had the kippers which she described as delicious. I had the smoked haddock and poached egg, which was equally yummy. The portions were generous and arrived quickly. The staff are very friendly, Beth's had a lovely atmosphere too

The chap that runs the cafe was very rude and even his staff seemed embarrassed with his poor attitude. It was a real shame as we read the reviews which were so positive. Next door .. (Alfs) so much better across the board and friendly...

Visited Dartmouth on a whim. Was not planning on visiting but glad I did. Staff were very welcoming and service was quite quick considering it was very busy. Food was outstanding. Would definitely recommend the Chilli Crab Linguine! If you are visiting Dartmouth, you should...

If you want a good breakfast, this is the place to be! The staff are so friendly, the food is great quality at reasonable prices. The ambience is clean and fresh and their phrase ‘happiness is homemade’ resonates around the bistro! The staff are great...

Fab find, really impressed with the cleanliness and decor. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Great choice of food. I had the eggs benedict which was superb, my husband opted for the breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed! We also tried the haggis which was really...

Amazing little find on our visit to Dartmouth. Friendly staff, yummy food and such a lovely atmosphere. Even our little dog was welcome and catered for with a free sausage! So glad we stopped here, can't wait to come back again soon!

Great tasty food and nicely cooked so we went back again for breakfast. The staff are very attentive and it has a nice friendly atmosphere

We received a warm welcome. We chose 2 dishes from the Specials board, both were delicious. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

The staff at this restaurant couldn’t have done enough for us during our visit, they were welcoming, helpful and bent over backwards for us. We visited with our 8 month old baby and it was great. Whilst not a massive restaurant, it was intimate and...

What a shame they don’t take cash at Beth’s cafe. They would have had 5 stars if they did. Cash plays such an important role in society. It COVID safe, doesn’t cost the 2% or more that card payments require, doesn’t use electricity or energy...

Lovely spot for breakfast. A really nice cafe with a great selection for breakfast. Really friendly staff and really good value for money. Would recommend the large breakfast.

This is a review for the small Beth's in the park. We just had coffee, which was very average, not terrible, but nothing special.

I visited with family on a chilly and drizzly Tuesday lunchtime (19th October). We were very fortunate that a table for 4 had just become available and we were given a very warm welcome. Superb menu with so many choices available. The food took a...

Not sure why but I really fancied a chowder today and after visiting a few places with no luck we went to Beth’s on the assumption that we would probably just have a panini. Lo and behold they had chowder on the specials menu -...

A good breakfast. Friendly staff and very clean. Dog friendly. Much better than other establishments in the town.

this is the best tasting and biggest breakfast in Dartmouth, excellent friendly service , reasonably priced , well cooked huge breakfast

Wonderful mid morning breakfast with my partner and son. The food was absolutely outstanding, all of our poached eggs cooked to perfection and the presentation was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful, the service was second to none. Great value for money. Couldn't recommend...

Went into Beth Bistro today with my Son, husband, sister and Nephew and we were welcomed with a smile by the lovely staff there. There was a young girl and young boy taking orders who were very well mannered and nothing was to much trouble....

This was an impromptu visit on a last minute vacation to Dartmouth. Never fails to be a great visit. The food is amazing. The staff are lovely. The whole experience is worthwhile. New colleague Ella was so lovely. Smiling and friendly and made our visit...

Went for lunch with friends. The welcome was less than welcoming! Asked if we were eating, we said yes, were then told "thats ok then"! One friend ordered egg florentine, came with more raw spinach than I've ever seen, very bizarre. Friend asked for spinach...

We popped in for a coffee and a light lunch whilst on holiday. Great staff, ambience and food! The toasted sandwiches were great. Give it a try!

Once again - just enjoyed a lovely breakfast at Beth's with additional black pudding and haggis!! Quality ingredients, well cooked and served by pleasant young ladies. Only SMALL gripe - why ARE dogs permitted in establishments serving food?

We were looking for somewhere to eat and found Beth's Bistro. We first asked if it was OK for us to bring in the dog and we had a happy yes. We sat and ordered our food which was taken by a very pleasant employee....

First visited 28 th Sept,2021, We had lunch , we chose off the special menu, my wife had the Fresh Crab Salad, I chose the Haggis brusheta with salad, 2 Coffees they do have (Decaff ) very well served, very Friendly Staff, good value for...

This is a “must visit” for breakfast. Fab freshly cooked fayre. Vast choice, attentive staff, spotlessly clean, great coffee. Real value for money. Visit you will not be disappointed.

Food was mediocre at best. Expensive for what was on offer. Young girl, who served us was, blunt, disinterested and at times plain rude. Won’t be returning again

Lovely small restaurant, clean, beautifully decorated and great service. We had the Dartmouth breakfast and the vegetarian breakfast. Plenty on the plate and very nicely presented. Couldn't have asked for any improvement. Will definitely visit again. Maybe would advise travellers to book for breakfast to...

We stopped for breakfast at Beth’s. The service was excellent and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu choices for breakfast were varied and the quality of food served was top notch. Would definitely recommend this bistro and we will certainly visit again. Personally,...

My partner and I stayed in Dartmouth for a week and this was the best breakfast experience we had. The two ladies serving us were lovely and friendly whilst looking after us the whole time. We had a great breakfast and wish we had retuned...

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning 09/09/21. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very cheerful for a morning which was lovely. Food came out fresh and was really nice. If you’re looking for somewhere to go for breakfast I highly recommended Beths!

On holiday and came across this wee gem. Offer lovely vegan options for breakfast and lunch (didn't have a chance to have lunch) Staff were very friendly with everyone and do a great job. Breakfast was fresh spinach with mushrooms on top, vegan sausage, beans,...
