Dining at The Sea Trout Inn in South Hams

We stayed here for close location to the polar Express train ride, excellent location, excellent staff service, also had a meal which was great food and breakfast, would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you.

Stayed for 2 nights..wonderful welcome from the staff..rooms lovely and clean..great roast dinner on the first day..breakfasts just as good..evening meal filling...varied menu with lots of choices..we really enjoyed our stay..

Stayed here in late August 2024 in room 4. On a board outside it said luxery rooms so I expected something a little better than basic.my room was bad,on the sideboard with tea tray it had ring stains fron the mugs, stains on the furniture next to it TV was tiny portable in corner ,tea tray cheap plastic tray with cheap coffee tubes and tiny plastic uht milk pots.The room was soulless and no colour just all browns and beige and tired ugly carpet infact the whole room was tired. Loose tap fitting in bathroom.No iron.When you state luxery a customer expects a little more, I have stayed in Cheaper places than this and they are bright and modern, that room should never been advertised as luxery as I say dark drab stained furniture etc it needs tlc to be call luxery.

Great pub with really nice clean rooms. Fab beer selection and really good varied menu. Fish and chips were top notch.

Beautiful country pub. Great food and wonderful, friendly service.

Nice food and room v dog friendly really nice well kept ales will definitely come back 👍

Excellent food and service, will return soon 👍

Steve and the team really took care of us. The bar and restaurant are both wonderfully decorated, inviting and have a wide choice of ales and local produce. We stayed for two nights and have had the best nights sleep. Highly recommend for travellers who want to explore the area and come back to somewhere that feels like home.

Tasty lunch meeting up with family

What a beautiful place, warm welcome from the attentive staff, great choice of amazing food. I have had a few meals there now and they have all been outstanding. Can not wait to go back.

We stayed here for the night. Had a wonderful meal in the restaurant. The room was fabulous and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was lovely and Brandon was the perfect host.

Well kept Palmer Ales, dog friendly, and a good "pub menu". I really recommend the Dal, simply delicious!

tbf, I didnt stay here, but had a dinner with 8 others. I found the staff to be exceptionally helpful and kind. Not just with us, there was a personal drama between a couple and the bar manager handled it with grace and humour. The food was well cooked and presented. We all agreed to go back. Definitely worth a visit.

Can’t speak for the rooms as we’ve just got here but mother of god that’s the best chicken burger I’ve ever had in my life.

Seven of us stopped for an impromptu mid-week social gathering. Service was friendly and the food (especially the home-made pies) was superb.

Best dinner of the year!! The smoked artichoke dish and duck pate were fantastic!!

Great food and slick professional service.

Great pub friendly staff good food ,good beer garden.

really good place to stay, clean, friendly, food very good. staff friendly, would definitely stay again

Excellent value for the room , dinner was nice with local prices.Room was very noisy with traffic cars and commercial vehicles starting at 4.30 am passing every few minutes constantly.Guest noise from doors closing from 5 am . Room service was over looked on one day of the stay .staff in the restaurant were very nice .

We had a fantastic roast lunch today. The staff was welcoming and friendly, great relaxing atmosphere and staff didn't rush us as some places we have been to. In fact we were so relaxed if we stayed any longer we would have gone to sleep with a food coma

Lovely pub , saltaff was very courteous , food was AMAZING! , definitely will be back when in the area again!! THANK YOU!

Lovely cosy bar serving great beer.

Warm greeting by friendly staff. One of the first nights back “indoors” after Covid restrictions. Nice menu choice. We had sea trout with crab sauce and sea vegetables, and the steak and ale pie, followed by treacle tart with burnt orange marmalade. Very good food, prompt service. Couldn’t fault it, a really nice meal.

Decided to have a family meal out just me and my husband and two sons. Well what a lovely place lovely staff great food. Very covid safe. Hardly anyone in there I would have to see this fantastic place close. I would recommend this place. My eldest son had the belly pork we will be back .Thank you staff for everything.

So glad now open as we like to walk from Dartington Hall, rest up over lunch and then walk back. Friendly service, well cooked food,

I found this place to be a little peace of heaven..the manger James and his staff..was amazing..with covid 19 they managed to keep the safe distance for seating my family the food was lovely..the rooms was beautiful decorated..I will definitely be returning for a weekend with me and my husband

The Sea Trout apparently reopened just three weeks ago. Ten of us dined there last Tuesday evening and enjoyed an exceptionally good dinner, service and a very warm welcome.

A recent change of management has led to varying reviews of people's dining experiences and it was with a little trepidation we decided to try our luck - we have lived in Staverton for over 30 years and seen the pub go through highs and lows. Thankfully we had a lovely meal, with friends. The pub was reasonably full adding to the friendly ambience and we were greeted with enthusiasm by Callum and his staff. The food was very good - everyone in our group enjoyed their meal ( some of whom are very picky !!). We were very relieved as we wish to support our local facilities and had feared that negative reviews would lead to possible loss of a much loved local hostelry. They have obviously learnt from the early negative comments as the menu was less complicated and reasonably priced.Beer is still expensive but, in contrast, the wine was very competitive, £18 - £25 and good quality.At the end of the day you. want to feel that you received value for money and have a happy and relaxed experience, this we had in abundance.Thank you Sea Trout, keep up the good work and we will certainly be regular diners !

Lovely day, decided to pop to the Sea Trout for a pint and a bite. The beer as usual was great, Palmers 200, very tasty. The food however was a different matter, I had the 8oz burger (?) more like maybe 5-6oz, overcooked and dry. In contrast, the skinny fries were undercooked and uneaten :-( At no time was I asked how the food was or whether we enjoyed the meal. I would have been delighted to provide constructive feedback.

Four of us decided to re-visit the Sea Trout last Saturday evening, as we understood it had re-opened and we had not eaten there for some time. I write to say how disappointed we were with the experience and would be interested in your (manager)comments.The four meals were:2 Sirloin steaks, Main course Mussels and Sea Trout.One of the steaks was so tough it was inedible (agreed by waiter and chef) and was returned, replaced with a completely different and tender one after a 15 minute wait.The main course mussels looked like a starter – maybe 18 - 20 with hardly any meat in them at all. £16.95?The Sea Trout (my order) was particularly poor. About 2 and a half inches square and one quarter of an inch thick it weighed probably less than 3 ounces, dried out and over cooked, on a small bed of scrunched new potatoes, part of which was only half cooked, on a barely warm plate. The salad was less then exciting and the dressing acidic. £!6.95 ?Yes, it was brought to the attention of the waiter, but we decided, probably foolishly, not to make a scene in front of other diners.The drinks were expensive - £4 for a pint, hate to think what a glass of wine was. And we felt disinclined to order an expensive sweet.Anyway we left, £114 poorer, and hungry after a disappointing evening.I don’t make a habit of complaining, but after a sleepless and stomach empty night felt I should let you know. Still waiting for response on most of above from Sea Troit, after partial explanation that they sometimes ger a bad steak, and drink prices set by brewery

I do not write bad reviews very often as normally the customer care makes up for any inconsistancies, however for this pub sadly we did not leave feeling satisfied with our experience. I would like to start by saying that both the waiter and waitress were absolutely fantastic and they are the main reason i didnt leave a 'terrible' review. It has been previously mentioned in other reviews the food is not cheap, therefore you expect decent food. We were really looking forward to the sea bream and trout but these were notnon the menu. I had the hallomi fries as starter, these were great. My husband had the garlic mushrooms which came with a horrible tasting grilled bit of what looked like hovis. Mushrooms good, bread inedible. We overlooked this as my husband doesnt really care about bread. For mains we had the mussels and seafood conchiglie. Again the mussels came with what appeared to be a bit of hovis white. All was going well until my husband hit a bad mussel. I had to urge my husband to complain because bad mussels are not something to be taken lightly. My husband brought up this complaint in a mild mannered way with the manager. The manager was at first defensive saying the mussels were brought fresh that morning and then that my husband had eaten all but 3 mussels (not actually true) - basically accused us of trying to get a free meal and was very stand offish. Eventually he offered to take the mussels off our bill but this definitely did not make up for our experience and we will not be returning.

We called in here yesterday afternoon and got 2 soft drinks and it came to £9.60!!! In our local pub (The Dartmoor Halfway) I can get a pint of cider and a gin and lemonade for less!!Upon questioning this the bar staff told me it wasn't them that made the prices, it was the brewery and they don't serve tap lemonade either.That's fair enough, but don't pore me a pint of lemonade from a schweppes bottle that you can buy in most supermarkets for £1 and then charge me £4 for it!!No wonder we were the only people in the pub.

We stopped here for lunch and all ordered the chicken and bacon ciabatta. It was bursting with proper chargrilled chicken fillets and the ciabatta was toasted to a lovely crisp. Served with crispy french fries and a nicely dressed salad. Very good value for money and delicious too.

We came as a family of 7 and a dog and were welcomed at the bar. After being seated our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful to any questions we had. I had the sea bream which I can easily say was one of the most fantastic meals I’ve had. My mum and nan had the sea trout which was also incredible! At the end we all went for desert and they were happy to remove the nuts from the deserts to ensure any allergies were catered for. Fantastic pub.

Visited today for lunch with my family and had an amazing lunch. Apparently the place has been closed since February and the new people have had a lot to sort out. My family and I had some great food, I had Local Scollps and my husband had the Terrine... Both fab. My son had fish and chips. The staff were lovely and tell me that the menu is evolving and there will be more delightful dishes next week. We will definitely be back. Good luck to you all

Went back on Monday, the 23rd of July to the grand opening and what a fabulous evening the atmosphere was great lots of people attended and the Tapas was amazing I wish them all the best of luck for the future will be definitely coming back and recommending to friends and family

Warm welcoming atmosphere, no rush to take your table, enjoy the festive spirit at the bar, The meal, service, were excellent , We never got to the final course as the portions are very generous so the Cheese and Biscuits we had to pass... This traditional pub/Restaurant food and served hot.Good choice of wine and local beer and value for money

Visited this pub with my partner, I decided to have the roast (beef) and my partner had the fish and chips.

Lovely two nights spent here, food excellent, rooms beautiful, cool and sparkling clean. Staff friendly and helpful and Owners are fabulous and hands on! Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back. From South Africa :-)

Stayed for a nearby wedding and found the place clean, comfortable with fantastic hosts! Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked. Would happily recommend it to others. Lauren and Simon - hope to see you in york!!

Super meal, didn't have a roast as there were plenty of other things on the menu. I had the skatete. It was busy on a Sunday lunchtime, but the staff were very polite and were happy to serve us.

Stayed at this beautiful inn in Staverton Devon, the inn is very nice and it takes pets, the room was very spacious clean and very comfortable an excellent bathroom with toiletries being provided. The food is excellent and plenty of it great choice of dishes, same with the breakfast they also cater for vegetarians.

went to the restaurant and were refuse food as finished 1 minute before offered us crisps people were sitting down ordering but we were refused

Family run...good food.. Charming village location close to steam train and Dart river. Excellent accommodation also available

Nice over night stay. Staff very polite and friendly. Warm welcome with nice evening meal. (One tip get the chef to de-skin the fish b4 battering). The vanilla rice pudding was excellent... I stayed in room 3 which was perfect. Clean modern and cosy.

Having picked up my sister from Totnes station, we were on the look out for somewhere to have lunch when we saw the signs for the Sea Trout Inn and duly followed them! Lovely garden setting with shade (luckily as it was a hot and sunny day) and where we enjoyed a very pleasant light lunch. Couldn't fault it, sardines and mackerel very good but gosh the drinks were a bit steep! £8.95 for a glass of wine?! Luckily I didn't know at the time or I wouldn't have had two:-) One grumble I do have (and it's more to do with my husband) is that I wish some establishments wouldn't offer to keep your credit card behind the bar. I do understand the reasoning but it places the customer at risk of being liable for any unauthorised transactions as your credit card contract requires you to agree not let the card out of your sight. My husband thinks it saves time rather than having to keep paying as you go along but it's a big risk, especially as cards are now contactless. Apart from that, it was a lovely lunch and well done the Sea Trout Inn!

Really aweful food. Similar prices to what we'd expect to pay for a nice pub meal but very poor quality. Took An hour to serve. Overcharged us for food we didn't order. Went to the cott in the night before and had a superb meal at a similar price point.

Sam and his team made our stay memorable from start to finish. The welcome was friendly, the food fantastic and the rooms restful and comfortable. We will be back!

Really nice pub with very comfortable and sensibly priced rooms. Great hosts, really good food and ideal to visit, whether you are on your own, with the family or in a larger group. Can't fault it and the cooked breakfast options are great. Stayed there four years on the trot now and will definitely be going back next year

Stayed at the Sea Trout for 4 nights in July and we had an excellent time being very well looked after by the very friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the excellent breakfast each day and had dinner twice which was also thoroughly enjoyable, especially the specials on offer on Saturday night.

Stayed at the Sea Trout for 4 nights in July. Had breakfast every morning and dinner twice. Everything about this place is superb, from the quality of the freshly prepared food to the friendly and efficient service by all staff. All in a lovely setting in this little Devon village.

my wife and I booked in for an early meal on our way to the Dartington Ways with Words Festival. we had booked a table but it was a nice evening and asked to eat outside, a few yards away. I was asked to leave my credit card behind the bar which I never do for obvious reasons, plus I object to the attitude of not trusting the customer in case he walks off without paying. We were also told table service was not available outside. we went inside and on the menu was 'pan fried Brixham Sea Bass with Charlotte potatoes and wilted spinach and crispy capers' I asked the waitress if this was wild sea bass ( it is in short supply ) and was told it was. When it arrived , minus the capers it was clear that this sea bass had spent its life swimming in circles in a fish farm in Greece. at £18.50 I would have had the fish and chips! I questioned the landlord who said it came from Brixham where his fish merchant was. he would check the invoice which he did not. he knocked off the price of a pudding (£7.50 ) and I left feeling annoyed my wife upset because she hates confrontation, not that there was any. The fact is that this pub is not alone in misrepresenting what is on offer, talking to my fish merchant today he says it is common. I am afraid it is misrepresentation plain and simple. The staff were pleasant, the rest of the meal was good, but to take customers as being unable to tell the difference between wild and farmed fish is an insult. I would have thought it infringed Trading Standards Legislation. No doubt the landlord will bleat some excuse but he knew what he was selling. There are plenty of pubs and we will not go there again

Went as a family for early dinner, on a special moules frites deal night. We're not local, but had been recommended it, and the mussels pulled us in! Lovely garden, and very friendly waiting staff. My wife had the baked camembert and it went downhill from there. It arrived cold, so cold I could stick my finger in the middle and feel it wasn't warm and sticky. The waitress asked how it was, and my wife, who doesn't like to complain, mentioned the temperature, and she very quickly took it away and returned in a few minutes. Unfortunately, it was no different??!! The waitress asked again and offered to take it away and said they would get it as hot as possible. She returned a couple of minutes later and said the chef had said 'this is as hot as we can do it'. It was still tepid. All along the toast with it had remained the same and by this time was cold and hard....she left the dish. I had the mussels, which tasted good but were rammed with sand, very gritty and crunchy, so I ate as much as I could but had to draw a line. Two kids had fish fingers and chicken nuggets. The nuggets apparently tasted good but strange, the fish fingers were more like fillets, but seemed ok. When I paid no mention was made of the problems, and it turned out the funny tasting nuggets were scampi, not great that the difference wasn't immediate. Chips were poor. We left a lot of food and didn't have anything else. A real shame.

This chef knows what he is doing----- the whole menu is great....From vegee dishes to steak its all fresh and tasty.

This is such a pretty pub in a lovely setting very near the Steam Railway and some lovely walks by the river. My cousin booked for Sunday lunch the four of us hadnt seen each other for a while. The staff are lovely, very friendly and efficient. We all ordered the roast three of us had beef and one turkey. The beef was very tasty but slightly chewy and the yorkshire was almost cold. The vegetables came in two small earthenware bowls (not the same size either one was very small) and to be honest we could have eaten a bowl each, although when we asked the waitress did kindly bring us another bowl. I think too a few extra potatoes in a bowl left on table would have been nice, they were extremely delicious but we had three each. It was a tasty meal, but, there are a lot of lovely pubs in Devon, many of them serving tasty food and I think the prices were slightly high for what we had and with so much competition I dont know if I would choose to eat a Sunday roast here again. The pudding was yummy, a take on sticky toffee, but again I thought a little pricey and the cheese even more. With a few tweeks the roast could have been excellent, it was a shame because it is a lovely place.

Tiny portion of lambs liver- tasted nice. Others meals were fine. Pity because we live locally. Presentation was very good. Haven eaten there for a while. Disappointing.

Our family of five visited for lunch and, once again, were not disappointed. Four gammon, egg and chips and one mushroom ravioli was enough to satisfy us all. The service was friendly everything was clean and well presented. We will return.

They deserve a good rather than an average because the welcome is very friendly, the accommodation is good but the food lacks real finesse. That said it is quite good value.

Thoroughly recommended, stay the night and enjoy dinner, bed and breakfast. A very warm welcome and helpful staff.

What a treat! We were having a drive out and came across the Sea Trout - can't be sure but thought I had read a good review/mention in Crumbs so decided to pop in for lunch. Very cosy pub with roaring log fires, just the job for a cold January day.

We were looking for a place for lunch and decided to follow their sign from the main road at Dartington. Lovely drive into Staverton and found The Sea Trout easily, nice big car park too. It is a lovely establishment, nice welcoming atmosphere on arrival and lunch was very enjoyable. We felt very comfortable and relaxed, the furnishings and decor beautifully kept. Cod, chips and peas was a good choice, the fish was perfect, and went down a treat and the mushy peas were the best we have had, gorgeous taste and texture. Perhaps a little more to pay on the cost side than usual but most definitely worth it for a very pleasant meal out. Thankyou.

Staying at nearby Dartington Hall we ventured out to the Sea Trout on a cold dark November night and the phone SatNav lost service just as we came across a very narrow section of road even for Devon standards with poles either side of the road which we just managed to squeeze through. I noted the following day that there is a 6' 6" width restriction so you would come unstuck if you were driving an AEC Matador or similar (just showing my age).

Only stayed the one night but we'll be coming back for more.

Ate here Saturday lunchtime and we will not be going back. £8 for a BLT sandwich which came on dry bread and also not much bacon so felt a real rip off for a sandwich, the fish and chips that came also at a hefty £12.95 more batter than fish and a handful of chips so felt poor quality along with over inflated prices, not a great dining experience.

A family celebration of three generations, all enjoyed a delicious meal. Attentive service, comfy, cosy atmosphere. Superb food, ample portions...

I spent 2 nights at the Sea Trout with mum and dad. The room was nice and roomy, and clean,...

Dined here twice whilst on holiday. We had our four legged friend with us and so it was difficult finding...

Read some of the previous mixed reviews- glad I ignored them and went for lunch here with my family. We sat in the garden which was lovely and still possible in September. There was a nice welcome on ordering in the bar and the menu was interesting. The specials are certainly a good choice. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Overall very good value and I would not hesitate to return. Keep up the good work and improvements.

new owners have drastically improved this establishment inc the food - the breakfast was excellent too - rooms been totally revamped - excellent place now

Visited this Inn on the second night of a holiday near Totnes, Devon. We didnt book so we were pleased to get a table, although it was in the bar. We were given menus immediately, our party being six adults and two small girls. We waited aaaages to get a drink and place our order - we thought that wait was bad enough, my god the rest didnt turn up for over an hour despite our asking twice where our food had got to - (The landlady was more interested in being part of the book club meeting being held in another room, she seemed very annoyed at having to get up and help in the bar!) we really had not ordered anything exotic!! The girls were so hungry and tired - mind you so were we!! When the food came it was ok, however my meal, scampi and chips was literally thrown into a bowl - I am sure it was a child's meal - even though my grandaughter's meal was very nicely presented!! Just couldnt be bothered with any further wait or hassle, we paid the bill and left, never to return!!

The food here is excellent, the crab starter is superb as is the ginger ice cream. Service is attentive but not overly so and very friendly. Although we were a couple eating, there were many families also dining and it was a pleasure to watch the children enjoying the experience. Highly recommended.

Visited a couple of days ago based on Tripadvisor 'Certificate of Excellence' but was sadly disappointed. Confit Duck Leg was flabby and underseasoned, the sauce tasted strongly of thyme and nothing else, the confit potato was a boring lump of spud and whoever thinks serving lumps of multi-coloured 'heritage' carrot and no other vegetable makes for a tasty accompaniment is clearly deluded. Good food isn't expensive - this was extortionate.

We found the food and drinks to be pricey.Food was bland, unseasoned and very disappointing. When waitress asked us how the food was and upon giving our response she did nothing to help or make situation better.

My wife and I had an excellent stay at The Sea Trout during probably the wettest weekend this year.It started with a phone call to Jasmine who responded with real sensitivity and spent some time allowing us an extra night.When we arrived we met Jasmine and she gave us a warm welcome and all the help necessary.Breakfast was served on the first morning by our hostess,Lauren.She was most helpful and gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble.The dinners and the breakfasts were excellent,very well prepared and served with a smile.The standards in this Inn were difficult to fault.Roll on the next time we can come.

I was quite impressed with the professional level of service and food. It is not a cheap place but I would say the prices reflect the standards.The restaurant is reasonably spacious and you can eat without bumping elbows with your neighbours. It is a very pleasant old pub which looks out on a garden area. The food was a cut above the quality compared to many other restaurants in the region, and the service was efficient and very courteous.This is a place that deserves repeat business and we will certainly come back to.

We had just an overnight stay and wished it could have been more. Will definitely return later in the year. The welcome was superb, room immaculate and great food - what more can you ask!!!!

This pub was recommended to us after walking at dartington but we didnt find much to report on. Food was just ok and a little on the pricey side for what it was. The kids meal was a good portion size. The pub decor and seating is a little dated. Outside area looked nice but we didn't have the weather to make use of it.

We stopped here for a bite to eat on our way to Buckkfast Abbey. It is a lovely old worldy pub with a beautiful restaurant, extensive menu and plenty of real ales. The décor was excellent and all the areas were spotless. We both had Sweet Potato and Coconut soup, which was a generous portion, piping hot, very tasty and came with some lovely granary bread and butter. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely call in again when we are in the area.

Lovely welcome and staff, but sadly still serving re heated hard old and dry roast potatoes, and overdone vegetables, we where very disappointed with our lunch.

We had a lovely table overlooking the garden, on a very pleasant evening. I am sad to say I was very disappointed with my roast lamb dinner. It was a Sunday but I didn't expect to get left over roast potatoes from lunch time. They were so hard I couldn't get my knife or fork into them, I like crispy roast potatoes, but these were reheated, making them inedible. They were replaced with some very nice mash potatoes. The rest of the family were quite pleased with there choices.

Lovely pub very friendly super location wonderful beer and wine and lovely garden to sit in .Food looked fantastic but we didn't eat as self catering .Highly recommended

Visiting family in the village and visited the resteraunt for T on our last night there. Very cute and traditional looking, quiet atmosphere. Staff were very nice and welcoming- spot on Food was amazing and the portion sizes were lager than I expected which is always welcomed! My boyfriend had fish, chips and peas which was a great size and very tasty but it couldn't beat my roast beef Sunday dinner with veg and Yorkshire pudding was to die for and so much food was very tasty and filling and fast service! We managed to get some pudding in also! Brownie and ice cream was the highlight of my dining experience! We will definatly be visiting again in may for our anniversary date meal :) Thanks for the lovely dinner and night!

We ordered pints and lunch after a scenic walk along the Dart River. Food was nicely presented, tasty and portions were generous. Hope to be back again someday soon. Loved the gammon steak, onion rings and ploughman's lunch.

You are always going to have a great experience here , good atmosphere and varied selection on the menu. Have been several times and always come away very happy

My wife and I visited here for lunch. The service was friendly and the food excellent. Having had six consecutive days of fancy dining, we were in need of some basic fayre and went for the sausage and mash. Although this is standard pub grub, it was excellent. Obviously there was a lot more on the menu offering a wide choice. We will happily go back again.

We have stayed and eaten here several times over the past 20 years. It has changed very little, though the exterior has been smartened up since our last visit about six years ago. The location is excellent if you want to walk alongside the Dart or travel on the South Devon heritage railway. On a dull Tuesday in March it was pretty busy at lunchtime. We were not very hungry and just had snacks, but what we had was OK. Recommend for the location and typical comfy pub ambience.

We attended the Steak night and were very pleased to see the menu full of interesting morsels for us to try. The three of us had all the starters between us and were not disappointed by the cheesy mushrooms, mozarella deep fried and the buffalo shrimps - lovely tasty dishes ideally sized for an apperitif. My son opted for the sword fish steak which he was very pleased with, I had the rib eye which was cooked to perfection, nicely seasoned with delicious flavour. The puddings were to die for, with pancakes and Sundaes to finish off a lovely meal. I will definitely be going back in the very near future. The restaurant was peaceful and the tables not too close together which is one of my pet hates. Well recommended for a lovely Saturday night out ;)

menu is traditional food but of excellent quality. The service was very efficient and the staff are very friendly

We arrived just before 9pm as working late, chef very kindly stayed open for us, superb service, rooms faultless, a traditional inn with such character hard to find these days. Rooms very clean, modern very comfortable design, food matches that of my excellent overall experience. Would highly recommend. Thank you The Sea Trout Inn!

Our first visit her for about 3 years during which it has changed hands. Having had our expectations raised by recent reviews I am afraid we were rather disappointed. The welcome was certainly warm and friendly but for a dining pub the menu was fairly ordinary with little sign of innovation. My wife ordered sea bass only to be told it was unavailable. She said her second choice of hake and chips was good but my gammon steak was too tin (often the case) which meant it was dry and not particularly tasty. Only 2 other tables out of about 25 were occupied so not a lot of atmosphere.

Called in here a few days ago. Several of us cycling from Ipplepen to Totnes and stopped here for coffee. The lunch looked so good that we stayed for lunch and it was just as good as it looked. Lovely decor, staff friendly and clearly well trained and a very good lunch menu at reasonable prices. Will certainly recommend and call again.

We had a dessert and a drink. The desserts were very good presentation was lovely. Lovely cosy atmosphere

Our visit coincided with The Morgan Car Club's stay...Car park full of lovely cars..Perfect location and excellent food&service..

This pub is fairly local to us and good to pop in for a drink or a meal. We have eaten here a few times now and have found it a nice easy going place to spend a few hours.I believe it did change hands a while ago but all seems well with locals in the bar most days. They have a large dinning room to one side but quite a few good tables in the bar if you prefer. There's a big car park too.Food is good pub grub. Have already recommended to family and friends.

Lovely lovely food , staff amazing only complaint is that they had run out pork roast dinner , I had to have beef it was really nice , very helpful friendly people definitely worth a visit

Great pub. The landlord (from S. Africa) is a very friendly chap. The beer is good and I ate a few days in the bar, very good pub grub. Could not recommend a visit here highly enough.

Next pub i passed thought I needed a pint. Place looks lovely and very traditional.Came inside and realized it was a palmers pub, not a lover of palmer ales thought id try a pint of gold, pint seemed to pour slowly and was cloudy straight from the pour, taking over a minute to clear. First taste showed temperature was ok but beer had a faint off taste something not completely right but I cant work out what, but not too my tatse and not how other pints of gold had tasted. The beer lacked depth and left no trace down the glass and after the first quarter became lifeless and flat very quickly. The place looks nice but beer not the best.

Ate here 2 nights running and the food is good and they try to use local produce. All 4 of us enjoyed and food and the atmosphere and the staff were very good. No complaints and would recommend.

The staff were very professional and friendly. Nothing was any trouble for them The food, especially the seafood platter is out of this world..Desserts also were really nice. Yhe price is probably what you would expect for fine dining because this is exactly what this place does. We paid just over £70. for two three course meals.Drinks not included. We were on holiday and it was a treat.
