Miss P’s Talk Of The Bay, Torquay in Torbay

Great coffee shop and the view is amazing!

Popped in out of the rain but ended up having coffee and food. Full American for me and the pancakes for the missus Service great and friendly food lovely. Our dog was very welcome as well so bonus

We stayed at the Riviera Hotel last week. Upon checking in, we were immediately surprised with an upgrade offer: 5 pounds per person per night for a larger room. We declined and accepted the room already booked by the tour company. Then came the surprise: no free internet access in the room! We couldn't believe such a thing still existed. Wi-Fi was only available in the lobby area. How backward! During the trip, we stayed in two other hotels that offered free internet access to guests. The room did not appear to have been recently renovated, as advertised. One day, only cold water came out of the shower tap. The friendly lady at the reception explained to us that the hotel is very large and the water takes a long time (about 5 minutes) to heat up. Breakfast and dinner were good. However, the crowds in the dining room were quite large.

We used to be regulars at this curry house and really enjoyed it in the past, but sadly, the quality and experience have gone downhill. The food on our last few visits was overly salty, and the curries just didn’t have the same flavour or quality they used to. What was once a favourite spot has become a disappointment. One of the more frustrating things was the so-called 50% off deal. It’s heavily advertised, but when the bill arrives, you realise there are no real savings applied — it feels quite misleading. We also noticed some inconsistency in how customers were treated. Some tables received complimentary drinks while others didn’t. We couldn’t help but feel that because we returned a dish that wasn’t right, we were treated differently — which came across as petty and unprofessional. It’s a shame because this place used to be fantastic, but we won’t be returning unless things improve significantly

Very nice food, salads always fresh
