Creeping Thyme Restaurant in Teignbridge

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant last night, having heard about it in the local press. The food was freshly cooked and imaginative, beautifully presented, and the service was swift and attentive. Maybe the only downside is that the wine list was very limited, but the wine we had was excellent. The setting here is great, but surprisingly the place was far from full. That was good for us, but small independent restaurants need support, so please consider visiting. We'll certainly be back.

While perhaps a little unassuming from the outside, the delights of this restaurant are well worth exploring and we did so having been recommended by friends who had eaten here. It’s a small restaurant which lends itself to an intimate and friendly atmosphere and it is decorated with local art depicting scenes from the Moor. The reception from the staff was warm and friendly, we were offered the menu and chose one of their wines and a bottle of Jail Ale (there didn’t appear to be any draught ales on offer). Both were lovely although if I have to be a little picky the ale was chilled rather than at room temp. We chose the whitebait and the smoked chicken for starters - both were excellent. The main courses we chose were the Sea Bream and the Confit Duck Leg. The fish was amazing and was served with dauphinois potatoes; the duck was absolutely delicious and came with seasonal veg and puy lentils. While we considered the dessert options we were too full and admitted defeat although the apple bavoir that the neighbouring table had looked delicious! All in all a great dining experience and highly recommended.

Clearly a very talented chef / owner producing interesting food to a very high standard. Great service and very comfortable surroundings. The restaurant is a real asset to the town.

Visited this restaurant with friends on Sat . We all loved our food the coley and sausages and mash were delicious. The service was also excellent and the waitress was so friendly. Would definitely go again and recommend people to try it.
