Dartmouth Yacht Club in South Hams

Brilliant place , brilliant management worth a visit for food or just for drinks.Amazing staff and bar manager(phillip) hats off to your all thank you for such a welcoming approach.

Been here for a week and feel like I’ve known everybody for years all staff have been absolutely brilliant service has been incredible food service is fantastic big thanks to Phill as he has welcomed us none local people with open arms with great enthusiasm and recommendations of places to be around the area himself and the team are a credit to the area and I strongly recommend coming in as you will feel very welcomed

Had a great Homemade Pizza and cheese fries while at the club watching the grand national I must say food was very good but the fries were exceptional. Food is now done in partnership with Bushells and service was fantastic from Sarah and of course our resident barnan Phil. Only recently become a member but well worth it with discount food and 15% off drinks which makes it all excellent value. Don’t just take my word for it give it a try.

The Yacht Club had started serving a carvery on a Sunday in partnership with Bushell’s restaurant. Wow! What a wonderful selection of meat and a vegetarian/ vegan option too. The food was cooked beautifully with a great selection of vegetables. Great service and value for money.

A fantastic view of the river dart but staff are hideously rude. No food being served. What a waste of space. This place could be a gem in dartmouth but instead it’s a morbid place which we would never wish to visit again.

Popped in to the yacht club last week and had a lovely, reasonably priced lunch. As it’s on the riverfront it has great views and is light and spacious. The barman was really friendly too - a New Zealander who had lived in Dartmouth for years. He gave me some great tips on things to see and do.

Fantastic service. Fit us in around a busy Sunday lunch, lovely outside seating if you can get over the plastic. very nice food and friendly management. Light harted fun and a good crowd, see you again.

A no frills but classic old school roast carvery on a Sunday. Steve the chef is amazing as is the spread of good that he has on offer. Don’t need to be members well worth a visit.

We simply popped in for one drink but we stayed for longer as the guy behind the bar was super friendly, very knowledgeable and offered us lots of different recommendations of things to do while in Dartmouth. And the view of the River Dart and Kingswear from here was amazing.

Not 100% sure this is the right place, as we were at the RDYC, right on the waters edge. A great location, but you might need a jumper in the evening if outside. It lost a mark as the fish cakes were a little over done and a little too crispy! All the other 5 meals in the group were great. Good selection of wines, and local beer. Good attentive service.

We visited the Yacht club for lunch and was served by Claire she was very attentive when taking our order for the delicious food cooked by Richard, she handed the situation very well as it was very busy highly recommend the Yacht club and will definitely join

What a perfect spot to watch the boats go by and enjoy a lovely glass of wine, add in the best crab salad ever and its pure heaven! Well worth checking out and you dont even need to be a member!

The Yacht club is situated right on the harbour front. You do not need to be a member to stop there and have a pint or a G&T. Great views of the harbour from the bar room.

Post Covid and a long time hiring a new chef the Club has now got it together for the start of the season. Chef Richard has created a new menu and we tested it last night. There is a different daytime to evening menu. The Soup du Poisson was excellent, as were the green lip mussels. We also tried the confit duck with tomato, chorizo and butterbeans - really tasty. Everyone else had the seafood pancake gratin and raved about it. Sorry, no photos, too busy eating! We ate in the Gunroom but you can also eat in the bar or outside across the road. Great posing area for just a drink.

Had an enjoyable lunch in the Yacht club today - great food and well kept beer. Lovely welcome from Darren.

First time in Dartmouth and I’m going to have to come again because I’ve seen nothing! Got off the ferry and walked into the Yatch club for a wee and I’m still here, right now ! Ordered a sharing platter of mixed meats and cheeses for the other half and moulles for moir, massive, gorgeous, delicious portions served with bread, chips, oils and chutney. Do it!

We had a late lunch at the Dartmouth Yacht Club as it was difficult to find anywhere else with seating available. I ordered Chicken Caesar salad but they had sold out of chicken so I agreed to have Goats Cheese Salad. Many of the salad leaves were going rotten and the salad looked as though it had been prepared the previous day as the ingredients were showing their age. The Goats cheese was almost liquid and not very pleasant. They’re obviously catering for day trippers.

Spent nearly £20 on 1 beer and a small wine, neither of which tasted great from plastic cups. Very expensive because they have a good location. I wouldn't come here again

We were totally fustrated by the staff. We totally felt like we were an interruption of their work. They were quite short with us and too direct, no personal touches whatsoever. Will not visit there again.

For the best fresh crab sandwich you need to visit Dartmouth yacht club. Plenty of white & brown meat not smothered in mayonnaise (this was available if you wanted it,) accompanied with light salad & crisps served in a basket. All Covid precautions taken and seating available overlooking the river. Excellent!!!

My mother in law and father-in-law invited me and the kids to Dartmouth for a weekend. I hadn’t been in many years so was looking forward to it very much, unfortunately it did rain which was a little bit sad as we could not enjoy our walk fully. We came across the Dartmouth yacht club which let us in even though we were not members. We were greeted by a lovely little blonde lady who explained that she had a menu one of crab sandwiches. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming and the bar staff were very funny and chatty. My mother in law and father-in-law invited me and the kids to Dartmouth for a weekend.

Came here for an afternoon drink... the bar man (old and bold) was extremely rude and completely lacked any kind of people skills!!! In fact any kind of manners. If they’re looking for new members they are not going to get any with him serving! I used to come here with my parents years ago under different management.... very disappointing. Will not be visiting again!

Myself and a friend popped in for dinner on Wednesday 22nd July. It was a nice evening so we sat outside on the embankment enjoying the lovely view. The tables were squeezed in together and clearly did not conform to the 1 metre plus restrictions however there were a couple of free tables so that was not an issue. After ordering dinner the food arrived quite quickly. I ordered a burger at £15.50 which was tasty. The chips were a bit over done but it was generally a nice plate of food. My friend ordered the "Locally Sourced Seafood Linguine" at £14.95. Which was a huge disappointment. The pasta was tasteless and the only seafood in it was small chunks of crayfish. We were dining in a yacht club looking at the sea and that was what had been served! I spoke to waitress and explained the issue and asked if our complaint could be passed onto management or the chef. She said she would speak to the chef and left. 20 minutes later we were getting ready to leave and the same waitress was nearby. I got her attention and asked if our complaint had been passed on? She just said she had not had time to speak to anyone! It was all very disappointing and soured the whole evening. The linguine dish had no flavour or thought in its preparation. I would be embarrassed to serve it to friends. I have no idea how a chef could serve it to a paying guest. We will not be returning.

Sailed here for lunch after tidal conditions prevented dining at Malsters Arms. High quality meats, vegetables that are cooked rather than drowned and a convivial atmosphere. Not expensive and hit the spot

Been on a few kayak trips out but this one was the best so far - Phil, legend, got us all to get involved with the prep and transport of kayaks - good banter - once on the sea we played 2 games which just added to the thrill of sea kayaking - coves and deserted beaches all added to the fun - great value for money and great fun - go on give it a try!!!

We had a great time on the water with Phil. He made sure we were all well prepared and ready to go out. The morning was a mixture of learning new kayaking techniques, fun games and exploring local coves. Great value and highly recommmended!

Thank you Andrew for letting my 3 students use your showers after closing time!! Andrew is a top bloke with a real sense of humour. Thanks again. TSLA

Called in today. Greeted with a grunt and no smile. Ordered drinks, obviously never heard of lemon and lime as he looked at me like I was from outer space. Corrected me with lemonade and lime!Asked if their was a bowl of water available for the dogs. Again grunted “Tap water” I said yes could I have some please. Threw his eyes to the corner with “bowl over there”Disabled husband and asked for directions to the toilets. He was very sarcastic as he replied. Who does this man think he is? Would never return and would never recommend. If you’re front of house or in a customer service position maybe the basic requirements are manners and a polite manner. This guy had neither!!!

Down here from Birmingham and visited the Yacht Club. The best prosecco I've ever had served by Andy. Mac is a larger than life and a fabulous, organised manager. Janine and Gary are great in the kitchen and front of house. Food is great value for money, considering the club is overlooking the harbour.

This place has transformed over the past few years - with Mac and Janine, the place have friendly, welcoming faces that make this place a pleasure to visit time and again. The Sunday roasts are the best in town, buffet style with some great range of meat on offer. The Yacht Club is once again becoming a great family hotspot. Would definitely recommend!

Be it for a drink whilst watching the boats go by or for some great home made grub, this is the place to go in Dartmouth. Open to all during the Regatta, you will always be greeted by a smile and a warm welcome. The food is delicious and there is a buzzing atmosphere. Prices are great and there is a top notch selection of wines and beers. If you want to experience regatta this year, this is a must!

I visited with my husband as guests. We loved the food and the friendly atmosphere. I can see why our friends love this place so much and it is a perfect place to relax after a day on the water. The fish special was delicious, my salt and pepper squid was tasty and a good sized portion for a starter. If we lived locally I wouldn't hesitate in applying to be a member.

Gary and Janine are the best .Best view and location for River Dart.You do not need to be a member of the Yacht club to enjoy the food and drink selection. During the week there are specials

This is gem, and very friendly venue to boot. As members or visitors, there is always a welcome at a nice sociable bar. The members are of course boat interested, so if you have any story to tell, there is always scope for interesting exchanges. On the water with marvelous views.

we were looking for somewhere to eat in Dartmouth, which we know quite well having owned a greengrocers there in times past when we hit upon the DYC as it is known by chance. We hadn't realised that members of the public were welcome. Upstairs we went and what a lovely location. We had a window seat with one of the best views anywhere..no-one else was in, so we had plenty of time for a chat with the very friendly manager...he made us very welcome indeed. The food was absolutely great, we were only after something light so had sandwiches, but what sandwiches! Couldn't have been nicer. We can't wait to return, and the evening menu looks very good indeed. We also found out what a bargain membership of the club is and may well join.....

Went to this great club during our family easter break. Lovely warm welcome from a lovely guy behind the bar think his name was Mac. Could well have been the manager. We had a meal and the food was fantastic!

We were made very welcome and the Kayleigh (sorry if I've mis-spelt) was a wealth of knowledge which was very helpful, thank you. The drinks are very reasonably priced and they have a great selection of wines. Looking forward to joining soon!

I popped in here for a coffee and enjoyed the wonderful panoramic views of the Harbour and river.

Very disappointed, I would have expected that during Regatta week that the Yatch club would be out to impress visitors not short change them. Will not go back there again.

Four of us booked for an evening meal and was told to come at eight, unfortunately by this time the so called International Buffet was sadly depleted. We were served a toasted slice of bread with a tiny amount of fishy butter, that was the starter.

AMAZING views of the river, the best in Dartmouth. Great value for money, even better grub, simple food done real good.

Once again a lovely Sunday lunch, the chef really deserves the support of the club as good .chefs are hard to find. Sunday lunch is a real treat with a good choice of vegetables and yummy cauliflower cheese. I do not understand why there is no board outside saying that the yacht club does serve Sunday lunch as I am sure more people would use this venue as it is in a lovely setting more people more revenue for the club.

Enjoying a splendid glass of wine overlooking the river Dart looking out to sea. Looking forward to a plate of whitebait (which is a personal favourite!!). Has a real buzzy atmosphere on a Saturday. Incredibly pleasant staff. Having a great time here.

The Dartmouth Yacht Club has changed dramatically over the last few years and is now a brilliant place to come for a drink and a decent meal.

Right on the front of Dartmouth, with beautiful views of the River Dart, this friendly yacht club has a lot to offer. The staff are kind and friendly and their Sunday roasts are out of this world. Open to non-members too, there is a great bar menu and the drinks are good and well priced, they have a very good wine list. There are great member benefits too and there are often special events on it. Be it a quiet coffee, a drink and a great bite to eat, or a Sunday roast that is second to none, I highly recommend giving this place a visit or two!

You can't beat the location of the Dartmouth Yacht Club, situated right on the Embankment over looking the River Dart. Wednesday night is International buffet night with each night themed from a country around the world. Chef Gary is a cheerful bloke who offers up some wonderful dishes, served by hard-working Janine who somehow manages to keep the punters well fed and in line. I've yet to try the Sunday roasts, but on strong recommendations from others, will be trying it one Sunday soon.

We've been coming here for Sunday Lunches on a regular basis now and I have to say it is consistently excellent. A great choice of at least two meats, generous helpings and plenty of trimmings to choose from. Fantastic quality, brilliant value. You really need to go and find out for yourself. 5 stars all the way.

Great location on South Enbankment although Dining area a little "dated." Very good meal served by pleasant staff. Excellent value. We will reurn.

Called into the Dartmouth Yacht Club on recommendation and were delighted Tremendous location, friendly welcoming staff and good selection of drinks Will visit to eat next time we visit Dartmouth

One of Dartmouth's best kept secrets. It is the actual clubhouse for Dartmouth a yacht club but welcomes non-member and land- lumbers alike.

This is a pub with showers. Not really my idea of a yacht club, thought they do have races and stuff. Shame, it's the only thing about Dartmouth that's low rent.
