Cattlemans Steakhouse at The Parkers Arms in Torbay

Good size portions. Fantastic service .. front of house staff couldn’t be more helpful and efficient! A++

Only had food but absolutely the best steaks were mouth watering and service was top as well

The meal service and atmosphere was amazing, will be booking again soon

Super steaks and friendly staff. Will return.

The pub was really busy on the night we visited. The smoke drifted from the kitchen into the bar area from where the steaks were being cooked. The steak was excellent, tender & tasty. Puddings were well portioned. The staff were excellent, engaging & helpful. There are also food challenges, which you have to give prior notice to have one. The pub bedrooms were clean but not very soundproof. There is a galvanised stairway up to the rooms and a couple of steps to negotiate in the hallway. If you have any mobility problems, it may be an issue?

Visit for a carvery, couldn't fault it Staff very friendly

We always come here when we are staying in paighton. The Steak meals are the best around. Really good value for money

We booked for my sons 20th as he loves Steak. There was plenty of parking, easy to find. We received a very jolly and warm welcome for our party. The service was friendly and excellent and the food exceptional. The best steak! I highly recommend this for any steak lovers, my son had a great time, thank you!

Had a lovely carvery here today. Absolutely perfect. All staff members were very friendly, can't wait to visit again the next time we are in the area.

Absolutely great place, perfect selection of steaks to have, puddings are very good. I followed this restaurant on facebook, which made me have to try it out. Didnt disappoint at all. Staff were very efficient, friendly and accommodating. Service is also great, atmosphere very good. Would advise if taking pushchairs to put in extra section when booking so the staff can find table with space for them, i forgot to but they sorted space for us no trouble. Lovely evening will definatley be returning. I have returned and had the Tomahawk to share, the service was still great and food is great!

Fabulous meal even had balloons and birthday sign. Food hot fresh and very tasty.

Excellent Sunday carvery, very busy but didn’t have to wait too long.

The hospitality and service has been nothing but 7stars for me! The food is up there and the steak is just mouth watering and so tender and easy to cut! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone that is visiting Paignton and also the amount of food challenges there is and fun this place actually is it’s mind blowing!! Owner is so down to earth and what a cool person and so are the staff and the management. Keep it up guys I will 100% be coming back ❤️ from kong fu panda 🐼

Amazing atmosphere lovely friendly staff will 100% be coming back

Amazing wee spot especially if yer into the campervan scene. Food was amazing

Went and did a mega mixed grill challenge and it was amazing food and excellent service

Won’t be going back!! Decided to stop overnight and was looking forward to something to eat after nearly driving 500 miles! Got checked in at the bar and was shown to our rooms upstairs, on entry to the rooms we were told not sure which room it is but you haven’t got a toilet (I booked both rooms with private bathroom) I looked puzzled and was told you would have to use the toilet at the end of the hallway! I rushed into my room hoping it was my mates room but we both had a toilet! We then decided to try the food in the restaurant as it smelt really good, no room in restaurant so back to the bar. No room in the bar as a food challenge was about to start so ordered our food and told them we was outside. After an hour of waiting the food finally arrived, was told we would get you some cutlery It never arrived! We couldn’t wait any longer so stated to eat some luke warm fries, I popped my head into the restaurant but it was heaving so headed back to the food. Took a bite out of my chargrilled chicken burger and nearly broke a tooth, it was burnt black underneath. Nipped back into the bar to report the issue and was told by the bar staff ‘you will have to wait a while’ Spoke to the bar staff after waiting a while and was told manager would come out. Finally the manager come outside and agreed she would reimburse me for the meal. Waited 30 mins for her to return but no sign of her! Decided to call it a night and was hoping to see someone in morning but no one to be seen So still no refund received and would not recommend at all. Also didn’t sleep all night as windows were thin and loads of traffic noise. Over a week now and still no reply!! Still no reply a month later 😢 💤

Fantastic carvery Always lovely service here, great food and very reasonable. This time we had the family carvery. Great quality and variety. Hit the spot. Demolished. Will definitely be back

If you want a decent steak or burger, then this... Cook your own steak how you like it on a hot stone. Any size from 8oz up to all the 200oz. The service is great as well. There were 10 of us and these guys did not miss a thing. If you get the chance to go here book a table and wear loose pants. 5⭐️ all the way.

Easy to find, great atmosphere, staff were very friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. Food was amazing very fresh and very tasty. Would definatly go back and recommend to family and friends.

Bar service is a bit slow but everything else is great

Loved this restaurant. You get to cook your own steak on a piece of volcanic rock . The steak was lovely, and it was fun to try . The staff are really kind and friendly .

Absolutely lovely staff. Great food. Even the customers are welcoming that it felt like a holiday. I heard it was expensive but the prices are very reasonable. It's easily an average restaurant price, but the steaks are way more high-end, making it a fantastic high-end restaurant without the cost. Couple that with a beer garden and childrens playground which you just can't get anymore and it just takes me back 25 years to when pubs were much more family based. 100 percent will be back

Had a lovely meal here on Sunday the 25th of August amazing food and very friendly staff would 100% recommend

Food was beautiful, although a little pricey. Sat us at a table which right by a door that they needed to keep getting into which was slightly annoying because I had to keep getting up! Meat was perfect on my mixed grill, misses wasn't to impressed with having to cook her own on a hot plate but her own fault for not reading the menu properly... Staff were very polite and welcoming! Would recommend!

We went for a steak! Was delicious!!

Big steaks on hot stones. They do other stuff too, like burgers and chicken. Maybe even salads, but we've never looked past the big steaks on hot stones.

Splendid Sunday carvery. Get there early.

Amazing food, great service well worth the trip. I had t-bone steak partner had Hunters chicken which was also juicy and a kids chicken nuggets good portion size.

Great options for the carnivorous

Lovely place, child friendly, great food - very good steak and served nicely. Has a carpark and easy to access

If you like steak/ribs/burgers this is the place to go. Excellent selection of meat and everything we had was really tender and delicious. Steaks are delivered on a hot stone and you finish cooking it at the table exactly how you like to eat it. Really friendly staff who'll sing happy birthday to you if you're celebrating and you get to wear a Stetson and they'll take a picture for you. Large portions and a few challenges to try which are free if you complete them but good luck with that.. Tables outside if you prefer al fresco eating.Large free car park at the rear. Disabled access. I would advise booking especially at peak times.

The food was excellent the best we have eaten in a long, long time ( ribeye steak and a vegetable lasagne), the staff were very polite and friendly, would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Amazing food and service. Young lass that served us was genuinely nice and wasn't rushing off even at a busy time. One of the best steaks we've ever had. Came from north Dorset just for the food.

Went there today at lunch ,chips and onion rings so overcooked and dry , has gone down as far as I am concerned so not worth money and they weren't, t even busy last time we will go there

I had high hopes for this but it fell short of the mark.

Didn't stay in the room but came for dinner with 7 friends. Leanne is an amazing waitress and did everything to ensure we had a great time. Hopefully, she got the tip as she was on a break when we left. Overall all the staff were great. I had the beef brisket, which I recommend the only downside for me was the sweet potato fries were overcooked and greasy. My friends got a variety of steaks which you could make to order yourself on the stone at the table. All steaks were good except my husbands, which was bland, but I feel this was a one-off. The sides were all a bit bland unfortunately chips were not great.

Been twice now and each time the steaks were tender, tasty and juicy, couldn’t recommend a better steakhouse

Incredible meal - one the best steaks I've ever head. Service was brilliant. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food. . Probably the best steak I have eaten. Love the novel way it's served, on a hot stone. Keeps the meat hot and means it's cooked just to your liking. Staff were really friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend going here.

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here.

A good variety of meat and veg fir their Sunday carvery.

Great eating experience and the quality thick steaks are excellent! We shared a 34oz sharing tomahawk steak for £49.50 (£45.50 for one person). It was very thick and big and came out on hot stones. We cut lovely slices off and cooked them on the stones. Would visit again and our go to choice for quality steaks.

Great food, lovely helpful staff. Will definitely be coming back soon

Rude staff but room was clean and comfortable but won't return

We travelled a long way to get to this place after seeing amazing reviews and social media content. Whether we visited at the wrong time or just didn't order the right items, the food was no better or worse than venues much closer to home. Service was excellent and generally good menu, but disappointed versus the hype on social.

Stayed 1 night in accommodation above pub. More of a (popular)restaurant than pub. Booked double en suite. Good check in. Basic, simple furnishings and bathroom. TV and kettle in room. Just 2 bath towels, no hand towel or towel for hair. Tiny toiletries provided. Located on busy, noisy, main road. Plenty of parking. Good location for Paignton. Odour and smoke from steakhouse cooking in the bar. Ok for 1 night, budget cost, bring ear plugs. Room would be super hot in summer.

To many cowboy hats and gimmicks.

Stayed overnight in camper had meal in pub excellent food excellent service staff were brilliant would visit again

Friendly staff. Room ok. Food is overrated, not really tasty

Staff and food were amazing!! Great steaks!! Theo was an exceptional waiter, very helpful, we will definitely return

We were so looking forward to returning here a year on from when we first came but the food has really gone down hill. Husband had the mixed grill and that's where the problems began, when you pay £35 you don't expect economy sausages - we are in an area surrounded by farmland and beautiful produce, frozen onion rings - last year they were freshly made, frozen dry chicken breast and limp salad. I ordered the porterhouse steak which was lovely and couldn't be faulted but once again it was let down by its sides, once again frozen onion rings and chips that felt like they had sat in the hotplate for too long also I did order the chunky chips but ended up with the fries. We were asked if we enjoyed our food by a waiting staff cleaning down the table my husband showed him the limp salad and asked if he would eat it and he said no. After the meal I went and paid, I overheard the waiter from the other table telling the other staff we had been complaining then when he saw me he stopped what he was saying and said I'll tell you later laughing. After payment another staff member asked if we had enjoyed the food I was polite and said no not really and explained how excited we had been to come back but felt really disappointed he went straight to the manager and told me to wait, he was very apologetic and very kind we didn't expect anything but he got us a 25% discount for our next visit because we had already paid so nothing could be done about our bill but sadly we won't be returning £90 is a lot of money for drinks and economy budget food that we would happily pay for a good quality meal.

Visiting from Rotherham this is one of the best steaks I have had in a looooong time, good price plenty of room and extremely welcoming, even offer a doggy menu with a doggy mixed grill, see photo! Wish we lived closer xx

I did the 3.2 kilo challenge and succeeded. Instead of paying me £100 as promised, Cattlemans Steakhouse made ME pay THEM for both the food and for laying a fat one in their toilet after the 3.2 kilo meal. This restaurant sucks. Also, the toilet sucks.

Jack was fantastic, such a lovely young man. Food was delicious, exceptional steak

Absolutely excellent food and service. Many thanks to Aleisha King for your brilliant customer service x

Service brilliant. Excellent Food . Good value.

We had our 40th Wedding Anniversary Party at the cattleman's in April..lovely,good food,very helpful staff and very happy children with the outside play area..a great day had by all. Thank you very much Cattleman's 😊.

Stopped over a number of times in our motorhome, staff all very friendly very welcoming, drinks great selection, and the Steaks are Delicious will definitely be back when in the area kind regards Kenny Carolyn and Sooty

Love this place BUT food takes ridiculous amounts of time to come out,and it's put me of a few times going now.

Sunday carvery excellent , plenty of choice an hot well worth a visit

What a cracking pub, we needed a stopover for the night in our motorhome and came across Cattleman's steakhouse, I phoned up about 6pm and spoke to a man who we found out to be a guy called Cookie once we got there, great welcoming really friendly we originally was just going to pop in for a few beers but! The smell of the food was fantastic so we ended up having food which I would definitely recommend, would we go back definitely yes so thanks Cookie and to all the staff we had a great night.

Taken the family out for a nice meal and wow what an absolute disgrace. I had ordered the mega mix grill when it came out it looked terrible, chip shop sausages and no garlic bread, the lamb was just bone and fat the chicken was alright to be honest, onion rings was the cheap cheap ones and for £35 I definitely expected way better for that sort of price point. When I completed I was told the manager was going to take some money off and when I spoken to her she was definitely full of herself and told me she had gave a generous 10% off me meal (£3.50) I think that was a joke and she said well it's a very generous amount really. I would stay well away if you are looking for a nice place. Also needs a good revamp in there as it's not the nicest of places with them price's I expected way way better. (We even had 2 different families walk out as we was coming in saying to run and leave but we had to try it our self's and I wish we had listened) disgrace

Fantastic food , friendly staff can't fault it

As the name states, it's geared up for steaks. The steaks are fine, they're not the absolute best but they are far from the worst. They've presented in a rather quirky way, on a 'volcanic' stone. Basically the steak comes out partly cooked and you cook the rest of it on the stone. I think this is probably better suited to a Chinese hot pot restaurant, but for a steak house, well no. The sides are a major disappointment. Thin runny, tasteless sauce, very undercooked and underseasoned garlic mushrooms. Over cooked garlic bread that defied cutting. Corn that looked like it had been hanging around for quite some time. Onion rings, chilli poppers etc are all frozen. As I said, it's OK, but none of us want to return.

I'm out in California. Just from looking at your Facebook page, I gotta get over there at some point in my life.......

Best place tu get food in Payton and bar man has a great bum. Sent from iPhoen

Had a really lovely Sunday carvery.

Changed booking last minute and they were very accomodating without any hassle. Service was amazing gotta say leanness was fantastic nothing too much trouble a credit to the business, food was pricey but the idea was novel and interesting, sides served with steak were cooked perfectly, tho would av liked Stilton sauce to be a bit more cheesy. Would reccomend the restaurant to anyone for the experience, yee haa

We had a lovely meal here for my daughter’s 21st Birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and the food was delicious 😋

Nice and cosy nice friendly staff excellent food

We decided to go to the Cattlemans for food because they were dog friendly and near Paignton, where we were visiting that particular day. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and pretty reasonably priced for the quality and amount. All 5 of us ate different meals, my grandson said, it was the best steak he had ever eaten, my daughter thought the same about her burger and said, it was so full of flavour and huge, along with some lovely homemade coleslaw and chips. All the food was amazing 👏 They even had a doggy menu, and our little dog was in heaven with his chicken. Plenty of parking and lovely outside seated area and garden for the kids. All the staff were very friendly and I would definitely highly recommend them and will definitely be visiting again. Extremely happy customers 😊

Shared food platter, over fried, not nice, chicken dry, won't be returning

Plenty of parking, went on a very busy day but staff helpful and pleasant, we wemtvon a Sunday for the a reasonably priced roast which was very good, would definitely recommend.

My Wife and I traveled from Dorset in our motorhome for an overnight in Devon. When booking our table, the staff said we could park the night in their car park, which was a great idea. The Team here are super friendly, fun and really helpful. We will definitely come back.

If you want quantiti then YES! If you want quality then NO! That's just a honest review from someone that loves his meat. Service was good tho. Thank you Ritch 👍

Without doubt, the best steaks in Devon

Very friendly staff, food was amazing. Very accommodating as we also had 2x dogs, which had their doggie menu and a mixed grill each! Would recommend!

Had a lovely meal hear today. I liked the fact that you could finish off the cooking of your steak on a hot stone so you got it to your liking. Staff were excellent. The steak was super tasty.

Went for a meal it was an excellent meal The atmosphere was great the service was great I would recommend

Great food couldn’t fault anything at all brill food and lovely people

Lovely atmosphere. Stayed overnight in the camper. Friendly staff and patrons.

We had a Sunday carvery small plate for under £10 brilliant load of different vegetables we had beef which was amazing went back on Wednesday had 2 16oz ribeye steaks on a volcanic stone amazing fun our eyes we bigger than our bellys but we took the rest home highly recommended the 8oz would have easily been enough there's was also a lunch deal on £10 for 6oz rump steak if you want a budget option

Excellent servjce and food delicious

Amazing food and staff. Steak was to die for, the rest of the food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend

Absolutely loved this place. Will definitely be coming back.

Very long wait for food. Too much time spent on filming challenges than making food for customers.

Party of 11 came here for my retirement party.Excellent service.Very polite staff.Food was faultless & steak served on hot stone so you cook it how you want it was fantastic.I stayed in a room for the night & that wasn't so good.

Food fantastic the restaurant would benifit from a clean after touching the side it was very greasy and dusty and the side was just above table where food was, bit of a long wait between ordering drink to ordering meal and finishing meal to ordering desert however the bill came very quickly 🤣. Very smokey atmosphere staff where polite and helpful bit of a faff with the hot stone and a steak nice little novelty but was always taught not to play with my food, would return definitely as stated food was fantastic and not badly priced helped along by easy parking. We did not rent a room so 5 starts benifit of the doubt

Came for a 70th birthday meal and had a Sunday carvery. Although the restaurant was very busy, we were seated and served promptly and politely. Food at the carvery was excellent, although drinks were slow in arriving when we did order them, even when the place was quieter. Would definitely return though.

Excellent steak, great service too. Ignore the bad review about cleanliness it's fine. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. In fact, we're still here, and someone has just completed the grill challenge. We're staying in the car park in our motorhome. Defo recommended staff are lovely 😍

Excellent. Great steaks. Great, non intrusive service. Will be back.

If 4 of you can manage a 200 oz. steak this is for you,if not the Sunday carvery is good and value for money with small and larger options, enjoyed it.

We dined here. The staff are so accomodating and moved us to a larger table as we had a wheelchair user with us. The food was excellent quality and plentiful

Sunday Carvery … 03/10 for food 02/10 hospitality 0/10 for having to sit in the bar area (smelly with absolutely filthy chairs 🫤 & way dirtier than the London Underground seating). Finally, sitting outside to eat (in the rain due to a very reactive dog in the bar area) with a delightfully, steady stream of smokers and vapers that felt they where entitled to smoke all over us while we ate. Great 🚬. Overall experience … it was busy but really GRIM. And note to Emma (response from owner below) … Please - before you blame shift on tables … I was moved to bar area as I had a small dog with me. Yes the staff were aware that I had to sit outside - the bar area was just too dirty to sit & the other dog in the bar was VERY reactive making it impossible to stay in the bar. It was staff suggestion - I had no idea that many smokers would be smoking over me (no manners here) and lastly, Emma - if you have ever been in the bar area … you will absolutely know and could not dispute how unacceptably dirty it is. Literally the chairs are filthy & smelly.

This eatery has the friendliest & humorous staff (Thanks Jack) the food was fantastic & so much of it. The service was great, and the atmosphere made it even better!! If you like a challenge, they have many. Look up the 'cattlemens challenge'

Cattlemans Steakhouse is an eating experience that if you like steak is a must. The service is great with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food that is produced is plentiful and high quality. The best bit about it is that you finish cooking the steak yourself on the very hot lava rocks and in doing so you are able to cook the steak to your exact liking. Starters are immense. The ribs I ordered were so tender and flavoursome that I nearly ordered more to go with my meal. Will definitely go back when in the area.

Superb steaks, superb service and great value. We will definitely return

I only dined in the restaurant and had the best steak ever! Highly recommend.

Second visit and food was just as good as the first visit. The desserts are great, love the home made apple crumble. Great quality Staff are so friendly and welcoming and able to answer any query about the menu. Will definitely be back.
