Sailor V Refreshments in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Not quite sure what to make of Sailor V - it's a lovely space and we were welcomed warmly with our dog Oppo being allowed in bylut.criley, the prices are off the scale - just shy of £20 per pizza and what I couldn't work out was how the Pepperoni Pizza was less expensive than the Margherita - basically the same.pozza.with pepperoni is.cheaper? Menu consisted of four or five pizzas and no salads - not sure if the bases are made on sight or bought in.

Doesn't pay his staff Give this place a wide berth. New owner since Nov 2023 doesn't pay his staff. He didn't pay my son over the Christmas period but we eventually got him to pay up...

Lovely food, friendly staff , Brillaint smoothies. Only downside is the opening times

Very disappointing since he lost his chef. The owner was incredibly rude! What has happened to what was once a lovely place to eat?

Great pizzas & service & a beautiful place, would definitely recommend!

This used to be my favorite cafe in Salcombe until yesterday. We paid £12 for a mug of coffee and a flat white. The flat white came without a saucer, the mug looked cheap. I like supporting local shops/Cafes etc but this made me feel taken advantage of.

We visited today at around 1.30pm for a warm drink and to dry out from the rain, the atmosphere was unwelcoming to say the least and if you're after a hot drink this isn't the place for you! Sailor V was always a fab little coffe shop, with freshly made cakes and treats on the counter and a great food menu. Today there was nothing. We scoured the menu boards and couldn't see a hot drinks menu, I asked if there was one I was handed a wine menu. I asked if they did serve hot drinks (we could see a coffee machine) the girl told us yes so my husband ordered a cappuccino and I asked if they could do a latte, the girl behind the counter said "No"....at this point I wish we'd walked out...I ordered a simple breakfast tea, the cost came to around £7 and this was served to our dirty table, tea bag still in the mug and complete with some dirty spoons! I'm not sure where I was expected to put the tea bag ? It's such a shame this was our experience today as we have fond memories of Sailor V, many breakfast times spent there with our children growing up, they always loved the milkshakes. We left today feeling begrudging of paying for such poor service and quality, and it's unlikely we will be returning.

Nel percorso della meravigliosa Salcombe e in pieno crabfest è stato difficile trovare un posto dove mangiare qualcosa al volo. Alla fine abbiamo scelto questo bar con qualche proposta food. Provata la pizza, nulla di particolare, siamo appena al di sopra di una pizza surgelata da supermarket. I bambini, meno esigenti, escono comunque soddisfatti. Ottima l'accoglienza e il servizio da parte delle cameriere. Location informale, prezzi nella norma (di Salcombe).

Brilliant in every way….great food, superb wine and champagne choices, excellent staff who couldn’t do enough and a superb piano player. Totally changed going out in Salcombe….more like a lovely French evening in Paris. Merci bien

Wow, what a great find towards the end of the high street. We had drinks with friends and shared pizza which was delicious. Nice atmosphere and the new owner, Mark, was really friendly. Definitely recommend.

Amazing service, ambience, food and drink. Came here with my husband and two boys whilst on our Easter holidays and couldn't believe they had only been open just over a week. We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely evening. The wine and cocktails were delicious as were the scallops, pizza and charcuterie boards. Absolutely fabulous...wish we could of stayed longer. Hopefully we will be back in Salcombe soon. A hidden gem for now, but not for long I'm sure of it!

Amazing . At last a sophisticated but relaxed wine bar/bistro in Salcombe with fantastic food and wine. Although the pubs in Salcombe are great, if you want to drink more selected wine, listen to live piano and relax in a somewhat less busy and relaxed informal atmosphere - this is it. Particularly enjoyed the Coolhurst rose (a fabulous English owneed alternative to popular brands) served with scallops on samphire. It nearly bettered the lobster and strawberry salad I had last week which was amazing. With a new chef, new bar manager and owner that seems to know exactly what Salcombe visitors are missing....

Delicious pizza, friendly service, lovely location and surprisingly cheap price - all told a great place! Top recommend is the crab pizza - one of the best we've had in a long time!

A wonderful selection of wine by the bottle or glass in a modern setting with limited but good quality food. Great stop also for coffee. No views of estuary or outside seating but good music and relaxed feel in the bar.

Our first visit here opened within the last week. The warm and friendly atmosphere ( great background music too), 5 star food and 5 star service was very welcomed. Our family (5 adults and 3 children) will most definitely be returning. Fabulous!!!!! Thank you for the perfect start to our Easter break

We came on particularly rainy Monday (31st August), it seems to be one of only a couple of coffee shops in Salcombe we could find. Other one had a massive queue outside. So desperate for lunch and a coffee after walking around in pouring rain, we found here. Unfortunately we were turned away as it was a minute past 2, as they were closing apparently. Maybe they don't need the business?

Popped in today for coffee and brunch with family (wife plus 7 and 2yr old). Excellent staff, owner very welcoming and very quick service! Really good bacon sandwiches and delicious pain au chocolate according to the 7yr old! Very quick and satisfying stop. I imagine the BH yesterday was very very busy hence the poor review I just read. We thought it was great!

Very slow service, had run out of half the food we ordered, after we had ordered. Cake was dry. Front of house staff were doing their best but can’t cope with demand. Don’t bother stopping here.

Went to Sailor V’s based on some of the reviews on trip advisor… it was a cute little cafe with a nice selection of drinks. The food was mediocre… classic cafe food, good value. After visiting a few other breakfast places in Salcombe we do think there are better places to get eggs, toast etc. I would recommend the smoothies, they are fresh and can be taken away; perfect when it’s warm outside!

Great welcome and lovely food, thank you👍

Good coffee also good for lunchtime snacks reasonable prices for Expensive Salcombe friendly staff and dog friendly

We visited on Salcombe Live music weekend and had a lovely drink and cake watching a singer and guitar duo who were very good. It’s open for breakfast and lunch so we returned again in October half term and milkshakes and smoothies were delicious. Also dog friendly. The best table is in the back corner facing down the ferry steps to the estuary but also lovely to people watch all the activity on Fore Street! A great little spot with fantastic service and lovely food. Will definitely return.

Great service and meal. Eclectic decor with loads of charisma.

The food and drinks were excellent and really good value for money it is positioned by the ferry home made food

Lovely cafe in Salcombe. We had cream teas which were delicious and very reasonably priced. Prepare to be impressed by the quirky decor and what must be the best playlist in Devon.

Lovely stop off for food and drink. Recommend the smoothie! 👍

We visited here twice this week. First time for a drink, second time for breakfast. Our second visit came on their busiest ever morning. Customers were queuing out of the door but the staff were calm and efficient and very friendly. Our daughters shared a smoothie (they’re very big) and also a croissant as they had run out! Granola was delicious and the coffee lovely. Would definitely return.

First visit after taking the ferry over from East Portlemouth for a pre-beach breakfast. Thankfully we had booked ahead because they were short-staffed so had limited tables. Dog friendly and nicely laid out interior. Lovely service, very friendly especially from what I assume is the owner. Good quality home-cooked food and drinks from the combined breakfast and lunch menu ("brunch"). The menu was varied without being too adventurous. An ideal location in Salcombe just up the steps from the ferry jetty. We headed off to the beach with happy tums, all set up for the day ahead.

We came for a family lunch on a wet day after a really positive experience two years ago. The food was delicious - English breakfast was a real treat. Service was very attentive and great for children.

Stopped in for brunch, fantastic food and service would highly recommend 👌

Best breakfast I have had in Salcombe for some time. Freshly cooked full breakfast, really nice portion of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Great coffee, hottest served in Salcombe. Service was very good. Price was best value in the town.

Delicious food and great service in a lovely location.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Staff friendly, service and food very good. Would recommend.

A visit to Salcombe started and ended with visits to sailor v. Lovely coffe, delicious food and really friendly service

Popped in for lunch, greeted with friendly staff, superb menu and amazing food. Salads and the chilli hot dog were great. Well worth the short walk away from the centre of Salcombe and highly recommended.

We walked in and asked for takeaway coffee and the snotty man behind the bar said “well I suppose I could do that before the rush”. Literally there was no rush, the place was empty!!! He then charged my husband for large coffees but tried to give us the smallest cups. I then asked for the large cups which he charged me extra for! The coffee was totally tasteless and we wished we’d never gone in there. All they had to do was put a sign up, we don’t sell takeaway coffee.

One of the best roast dinners we have had in a long time. Lovely atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, very good value for money and we were lucky enough to book a table with a glimpse of the sea. We’ve had many a breakfast, lunches and cakes in here over the years, but today our family of 5 wanted to try the roast and we will be back as it was so amazing. The desserts were outstanding, especially the sticky toffee pudding apparently. Thanks for looking after us so well. We will be back in April.

We stopped in for Sunday lunch yesterday (6th Feb 22). It was relatively quiet which meant even with no reservation we were seated immediately. We were greeted with a smile and friendly staff. Everyone had the Sunday Roast which we all agreed was fantastic, even enjoying the brussels sprouts! Food was served by the chef, a nice touch. Service was great, accommodating any extra asks we had, every individual need was met. Recommend booking in peak times as I imagine it gets very busy!

I had a very enjoyable brunch on New Year’s Day, there was a great selection of dishes and delicious coffee. The frittata and soup selection are fantastic and the staff are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s the perfect brunch spot, great location, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food and coffee options.

Very good cafe, food is excellent and great value.

The place is very nice, food is average...

Called in for breakfast. Scrambled eggs were rubbery and cold, bacon heated up and cheap sliced white bread as toast. Not good at all. There are better breakfasts locally

Nice breakfast and very busy be aware closed on Wednesday and Thursday

Lovely venue, nicely decorated and clean with very friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Will definitely be going back!

Brilliant coffee, tempting cakes, good atmosphere and lovely friendly staff would highly recommend and hope to visit again .

Called in twice for coffee and once for lunch during recent holiday. Excellent service, good coffee and great food.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great choices and food quality impressive. We felt prices very reasonable for the quality

Such a Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful service

Beautiful couple greeted us and served breakfast - beautiful juices - smoothies - coffees - breakfast and soups :) lovely inside 🪴

We enjoyed excellent food and excellent service during our recent stay in Salcombe. The porridge was deliciously creamy on 4 out of 5 visits but poor on one day. This was dealt with with quiet, efficient professionalism and a discount given. It was back to...

Just so lovely. Great for breakfast, coffees, lunch and tea. Super friendly service, tasty meals, family / toddler friendly. We visited a lot.

I had the most delicious mushroom soup and the best flat white in a long time. Friendly service and a great location, what more is there to like!

One of my favourite spots for coffee and breakfast

A very friendly family own and run this restaurant and do so with great good humor and calm efficiency. We breakfasted here on a number of occasions and it was the best ! Not only were the ingredients fine quality local produce which was delicious...

Sailor V has really friendly staff and delicious breakfast food! Their milkshakes are easily the best in salcombe. This is definitely the place to go if you want a nice breakfast!!

Super cafe and lovely friendly staff

After walking out of the Ward Room because of poor service what a find. We walked in the door and were greeted and shown to the best table with a view over the water. Ordered a coffee and cannolis, they came quickly and looked great....

Lovely little café with a limited but delicious menu. Staff are very friendly - would definitely return.

We stopped in here for lunch and it was gorgeous. Service was lovely, the place is covid safe and the food came fast. I had the beef chilli (best chilli I've ever had. Hands down) and my partner had the salmon sandwich. Portion sizes were...

We had lunch here a couple of times when we were in Salcombe. The food, smoothies, coffee and milkshakes were great. On both occasions the staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend!

Really good breakfast, reasonably priced. Get in line before 9 as there aren't many tables and it's popular.

Nothing much to be said. Their sausage sandwich was delicious and plentiful, the chocolate milkshake was to die for and the ambience inside made the place feel peaceful and casual. An excellent venue to have breakfast before a great day out in Salcombe.

Great Service, Deep-filled Sandwiches(!) and a lovely atmosphere. A must visit in Salcombe.

During our stay in Salcombe we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Sailor V, we would recommend trying the full english and the bacon and cheese croissant! The staff were very friendly and helpful as well which made our breakfast more enjoyable. Would visit again when...

The staff were really friendly and it was a really good location. However, the food could be enhanced. The avocados on toast was just a small portion of avocados next to to four slices or toast. The presentation of the food and the amount of...

Wow we stopped in here on a day trip to Salcombe and had the most divine tea and brownies/blondies. Would come all the way back to Salcombe just to have these again!

Only needed to queue 10mins to get a seat, no reservations needed, on the busiest day I've ever seen at Salcombe. Hidden gem had some nice home made chocolate deserts and staff didn't rush us out.

Good coffee and food serviced in nice surroundings. Maybe a Dutch influence to the quirky décor. Its a same more UK café are not up to this standard.

Amazingly fast service for two delicious breakfast sandwiches delivered by the friendly chef. We had waited 40 minutes for the same at the woefully managed Captain Morgan's down the road and had walked away with nothing to show. Sailor V was the polar opposite -...

Great service and excellent lunch menu. The wraps are all excellent and the 5 & 8 yr olds loved the kids menu. Very relaxed. Great.

This cafe is the best one in Salcombe. We came in for a coffee and cake. The service was fantastic, quick and friendly. We chose the gluten free brownie which was delicious and filling. Location is very central, before or after getting the ferry. We managed to forget our shopping and Jane went to the trouble of finding our booking to call us during a busy period. We were very grateful and will be back soon.

Quickly stopped for a tasty lunch. Friendly staff, covid safe and a nice lunch. Would definitely recommend

Lovely cafe, covid safe and a bunch of GF options! Had a lovely lunch and escaped the rain, v friendly staff :)

We arrived in Salcombe Monday Morning, unsure where to go for breakfast, walked through the village, and came across the sailor V, looked very appealing from the outside, nice service, great food and a great price, thank you

It was very nice they were friendly but it was just about average

Very tasty food and good price..... Lovely place to sit a while and relax.....

Disappointed to say the least. There’s two sets of restaurants operating these days and it’s the ones who really try to make the best of the current situation and to make you feel safe and welcome, then there’s the ones that makes you feel uncomfortable...

Our first eating experience in a cafe since Covid. We visited Salcombe yesterday and decided to stop for breakfast. Tables were well spaced, staff were constantly cleaning and we felt very safe. The cooked breakfast was delicious, cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and quick and...

Pretty standard vegetarian breakfast and latte. Tasty but nothing outstanding, very accomodating for us during covid and with walk in. Reasonable price for Devon with special boards for lunch menu and cakes.

Delicious food. Not bad value. The host that served us didn't have a particularly welcoming demeanor which is my only criticism. But in all a nice place to eat and I would definitely recommend.

Called in here for breakfast in early Sept. Lovely quirky place serving excellent food. Would definitely recommend. Good arrangements for Covid , tables well spaced so felt safe. Nothing was too much trouble so service was excellent.

Nice and cosy spot for a quick Cream Tea with lashings of the obligatory clotted cream and jam.

Only had coffee, but it was good and service was friendly

The food is amazing and the staff are lovely, nice little find and wholly recommended

Good and friendly service, delicious granary bread and good, fresh prawns.

Great food, super tasty and lots of choice on the menu. Very quick service and the staff are polite and professional.

Good service and choice as always. Good atmosphere, Covid restrictions implemented sensibly.

Stopped for a late lunch. The portions were very generous and the food excellent. The staff were very kind and efficient. Highly recommended.

We had a morning in salcombe and found this lovely coffee shop/cafe, we had to queue but was worth it, lovely morning coffee/tea with scone and tea cake, it was all lovely, the people next to us had a breakfast which looked very nice, the...

We have been visiting Salcombe for a number of years but have only just found this amazing place! For those who love coffee, it’s a must! My partner and son cannot bear to change their usual choice of sausage sandwiches-as they are just too yummy!...

Fabulous and excellent good quality food and amazing service from both the owner and her team .An unmissable venue to enjoy a meal and spend a few hours when visiting Salcombe.

Stopped in while travelling back to London from Cornwall. Such a cute place, amazing ambiance, great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended! Soup, hot dogs and smoothies were all fantastic.

Absolutely incredible breakfast and fantastic service. The food certainly matched the beautiful surroundings! We’ll definitely be paying another visit when we’re next in Salcombe :) special shout out to the breakfast sausages!!!

Lovely coffee shop with great views. Lovely food.

Lovely lady who greeted us. She was friendly and warm. Sadly, the food wasn't. Barely scrambled egg on a cold, cold plate. Barely cooked toast and bacon which was served with such resentment, it was almost like having my teenage daughter back in the room. ⁰

Good atmosphere, friendly staff.

We popped into Sailor V to have breakfast. The food was nice and the coffee was fresh. However, when trying to order our food it felt like we were being talked down to by the waitress and when the food was served the same waitress failed to provide us with cutlery or condiments and walked off in a strop. We even had to ask for the bill multiple times!

Simply bought a takeaway bacon sandwich. Very nice it was too. Service was good. All Covid measures were taken.

Great service and amazing cake!

Our second visit here and both good. Really quirky decor adds to a real sense of fun, but also comfy, with newspapers etc. to read. Good coffee and pastries.
