Very Attentive Team Sunday Roast Highly Recommended Amazing Flavours ❤ Lovely Atmosphere 😍

Excellent Sunday Roast. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive and the meal was delicious. All the family thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Claims to be the oldest pub in Dartmouth Enjoyed a local Salcombe Sea Horse bitter 🍺

Excellent place to stay. You came to my rescue when I had to leave some terrible accommodation nearby. This room was so comfortable, stylish and clean with new bathroom, comfy bed, and many thoughtful extras. Pub food was delicious too. Thank you so much. Great place to stay!

A very friendly proper pub. Welcomed us 6 and the dog, stayed for a beer and ended up getting lunch and was not disappointed.

Great service excellent food 👌 highly recommend

A nice little pub with good food.

Lovely little pub ,proper old school pub not owned by a chain, oldest pub in Dartmouth with really friendly locals (and dog Cosmo) highly recommend

This traditional pub hits the right notes with its cozy setting to top-notch service, it's a solid pick for anyone wanting a classy yet relaxed dining experience. Leah provided a great service with a smile! Thank you, the food was amazing. Dean

Proper character pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere

What a lovely old pub! I visited in the winter and was greeted with a friendly welcome and a lovely pint of pale ale! Lovely scampi and chips too!

I am a burger aficionado and this pub has one of the best I've ever tasted- the Moo and the blue burger. Their other courses are delicious too.

Great pub, food was great,definitely visit again

Lovely old pub in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Have stayed several times.

I love the royal castle Hotel worked there back in 1978 as a receptionist and lived in, had my 21st birthday there. Went back for my 60th had an amazing time totally 9spoilt me, still has that lovely feeling and hopefully still encounters the hauntings September time ....... l visit as much as l can

Such a lovely cosy pub with a friendly welcome, oldest pub in Dartmouth. Dog friendly. Really good food

Great fish and chips friendly atmosphere.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere and food

Lovely meal out, staff all very helpful and polite

Lovely little pub that we stumbled upon by accident. Lovely atmosphere, food and staff. Very dog friendly too. Couldn't manage dessert there so they let us take some away. Lovely local beers too

Really nice Pub, managed to get a table upstairs and we all enjoyed our meals in Dartmouth's oldest pub 🍻

Die Meeräsche und die Scholle (in der Pfanne gebraten ) waren perfekt. Die Lauchcreme - Kartoffelsuppe ein Geschmackserlebnis. Nicht ganz günstig, aber jeden Cent wert. Einen kleinen Abzug gibt's dafür, dass das eigentlich zuerst von der schwarzen Tafel bestellte Gericht ausgegangen war, obwohl die Bestellung vorher schon angenommen und bezahlt worden ist .

Very tasty food and great ambience, didn't stay here just had great food

Great meal. Really accommodating staff. Proper old boozer loads of character.

Friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing

Tremendous old pub with great beer

Fantastic old pub with loads of charm in tge shadow of tge Church, ideally located for a Dartmouth day exploration. Bar does a great gammon and chips.

Authentic and tasty food, great service!

Stayed here for a night, the room was lovely. Clean and had all the bits amd bobs to make things special. Loads of pillows! Staff were very friendly, showed us round the room and gave us suggestions of places to eat. Would recommend this place. We also had lunch there, food was very nice

Wow, what a place, great staff. Very busy, but that's the sign of a great pub.

I don't have a single bad thing to say. The food was delicious, the chef clearly knows how to cook good quality ingredients well, very nicely presented too without being pretentious. The service friendly and welcoming. Lovely relaxed place to sit. I highly recommend the mussels, scallops and fish & chips. Nice range of drinks, the beer is very well kept. Next time we're in Dartmouth definitely going here, we really, really enjoyed our visit.

Fantastic, friendly helpful staff. Clean and airy. Food amazing and good value. 6 of us really liked this experience. Covid rules followed and made to feel safe

Just returned from a three night break- our third time at this Hotel and as ever the room was spotless with a very comfortable bed. A lovely place to stay and the staff really went the extra mile for us.We ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening and the food was absolutely first class, we will definitely be staying again later in the year - I cannot recommend highly enough.

Seven Stars pub does a superb Sunday roast beef lunch. All the trimmings, pudding, gravy, 3 types potatoes. Couldn't fault it. Excellent. Good selection local beers & cider. Well worth a visit.

Great pub with good food and good beer. Staff made it a great visit, especially the barman. Nice for a pub to serve people first come, first served. Would have given higher score but pub needs a lick of paint outside.

Ate here on Saturday night with friends. We had to book and pay a refundable deposit. No problem! At least we found a good place to eat on the last night of our holiday. Reasonable choice on menu. Lovely specials board. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff who worked well with the Covid restrictions. Felt safe. What more could we want?

me and my wife are small eaters so we have a main course and share, this time i want steak she said you like well done i like blue to the waitress so we will go for well done' when the meal turned up the chef had cut the meal up into two meals one half steak well done the other blue on two plates, what a great service all round and many thanks for all that was done ian and darlene

This was a meal of two halves. Three of us had good meals. Rib eye steak was great as was the salmon and crab special. However two of us had fish and chips. Fish was flaccid and a bit greasy. They were v busy so wondered if had been rushed a bit. Also ran out of 4 dishes on the menu which fine but menu bit huge so choice was therefore limited. Think this was a one off though looks like they had a v busy weekend! V friendly and welcoming staff

A beautifull old restaurant, oldest pub in Dartmouth. A most delicious Sunday lunch. I had roast pork and husband had roast beef. It was the most delicious roast dinner we have eaten out. Exceptional taste and presentation. Huge portions. Def back again.

We had a lovely stay here for two nights last weekend. We were late for our restaurant reservation due to traffic from Bristol and the staff could not have been more accommodating. They kept our table to ensure we were ‘fed after our journey’. The food was great, the room was lovely and the staff we super friendly and welcoming. Would defiantly recommend and can’t wait to visit again next time we are in Dartmouth! Thanks to all the team

Visited on a rainy summer day in May, assumed we had secured a table at a run of the mill pub. How wrong we were. Lovely cosy pub, candles, hearth with really friendly staff. We ate a mix from the specials and regular menu. Scallops with Parmesan and breadcrumbs were some of the best scallops ever tasted. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was just divine. Whitebait and mussels followed up, with as cauli broccoli cheese side. Again, amazing quality and the chef is clearly an expert with french style sauces, garlic broth with mussels was incredible and cheesy side was perfect. Whitebait perfectly crispy with I suspect homemade tartare sauce. Good choice of wines, ciders and beers. As an older family of three this was just a really pleasant surprise and without doubt the best meal we have had in Dartmouth. We will be back. Special mention to the chef and Lila from the bar, lovely and genuinely friendly.

A really beautiful pub, the staff were very friendly and food excellent! Would absolutely return in the future.

Really great fish & chips with a pint of cider & fantastic fresh plaice in a cream & lemon sauce with samphire. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and service whilst being totally COVID compliant. Great place, great food & drink almost forgot there was a pandemic on. Thank you Abby & Leah

Visiting Dartmouth for a few days. Booked the Seven Stars for food tonight and so glad we did. Greeted by a lovely young lady and made to feel very welcome. Food was 1st class I had sea bass and my husband had gammon and both were lovely. Thank you for a lovely evening in such uncertain times x

Tried this for lunch, had a very nice meal, tables packed in rather closely during this COVID time but tables and chairs sanitised after each use. Good family pub, worth a try.

The oldest pub we visited lunchtime and decided to sit on the couple of chairs outside looking at the church next door. The lady behind the bar was knowledgeable about the beers. We had 2 pints costing £6.75. The place was busy and the food smelt good. Social distancing in place and hand sanitiser. Track and trace. Lovely would go back next time we are in Dartmouth

Wasn't sure what to expect from Dartmouths oldest tavern but was welcomed heartily by the excellent staff, friendly knowledgeable and efficient.The food was excellent, the scallops were to die for, perfectly cooked, paired with crumbled black pudding and sublime samphire, absolutely delicious. I had the pork belly for a main and again was blown away, I have paid way more in fancier places and had far worse food, everything piping hot, cooked to perfection and full of taste and flavour.

We arrived in Dartmouth after a three-hour drive from Dorset and found this pub on our walk around the town. It was about 5pm and not having booked, on the off chance asked if they had a table. Whilst all the tables were booked for later in the evening, we were catered for on the understanding that we left the table before the booking time. That was not a problem as it gave us a couple of hours to eat. We were seated with a beer and perused the menu. There was a varied selection and there were items on the menu that were interesting and different to the standard dishes in other establishments. Yes, there are staple dishes but variety is the spice of life. We ordered liver with bacon and mixed roasted vegetable tart. The liver was served pink and was delicious and I am told the tart was one of the best my wife has tasted.We would definitely eat here again should we be in Dartmouth.

So the website gives you the option to book a table which I did, then you get an email saying you can't book on line and you have to phone to book. I the phoned 3 times and no one answered so in the afternoon before the evening I wanted to visit I went in to the pub only to be told it was fully booked! Pretty shambolic really.

What can I say. If this pub was a cricket shot it would be a David Gower cover drive, beautiful, elegant and easy on the eye. You just want it at every moment. The lovely owner abi also likes the Beatles. The food is nice too, but trust me about the cover drive! Well played.

We were staying for three nights on our way to Cornwall. We ate in the bar (restaurant not currenly open) and the welcome was first class, good menu with specials. Nice to feel comfortable in a traditional pub. You must book in advance for the restaurants in Dartmouth even in October. Thanks to Abi and her team.

I just realised I had not left a review for the Seven Stars following our visit in September as we plan our return back to Dartmouth. We tried a mix of dishes, including the steak for two of us. Unfortunately it was grisly and thought it was overpriced and £4 for a small portion of cauliflower cheese was over the top. The other dishes were fine, but I am afraid the service let it down on this occasion. Although not appearing overly busy, our repeat drinks order was forgotten, which was perhaps because the two young ladies serving spent more time chatting with each other at the bar, rather than tending to guests. We also noticed other tables waiting to be served as they chatted away. This was our second and last visit as the food/service is better elsewhere in Dartmouth relative to the cost.

We had an absolute amazing experience dining at this cute little pub on Sunday the 18th of October. The service was outstanding as was the food, we ended up staying a lot longer than we expected due to how lovely it was. We didn't have a booking but were seated the moment a table became available. I can't recommend this pub enough the food the service everything!! If we are ever back in that neck of the woods we will definitely be returning.

Lovely cosy atmosphere, great service and tasty food. We had the pork belly and grilled cod. Felt COVID safe

Stayed 2 nights at the Seven Stars. Beautiful room, excellent location for the town, lovely food and very friendly, helpful staff. All measures for protection against c19 were in place. Couldn't have asked for more. Very happy with everything. Would recommend and definitely visit again.

We went for dinner two nights running, as the first evening was so good. The steak and kidney pie was delicious, as was the steak. My wife’s mussels were, she said, great; ditto the prawn cocktail. The staff, in our experience, were good and maintained control of the Covid requirements without being overbearing and the tables were sufficiently distanced. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

Wow,just been to the Seven Stars,absolutely amazing food and wonderful atmosphere,highly recommended,Thank you so much Abbi,Leah and all the team,we'll definitely be back 😀😀

We booked this hotel for a 2 night break to stay in September, 10 days before arrival date the county where we live went into lock down due to covid. The t&c stated you could cancel up to 14 days before arrival. So we were 4 days late, after ringing them to explain the situation the attitude from 2 staff members were absolutely appalling! After countless emails and phone calls were told if they resold the rooms they wouldn't take payment of £220. so 2 days later I went on website and the dates we had booked were sold out, I have a date stamped photo proving this, so they clearly had resold our rooms. They then went and charged our card in full...... I have never ever written a bad review but felt so strongly that I don't want other people being ripped off the way we were.

We had a lovely meal here - we shared a starter of feta, sundried tomatoes and rocket and garlic bread which was good. However the main course was a cut above - Brill to share - cooked to perfection - incredibly fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. Really lovely staff - clearly busy - we had to ask a couple of times for water and a wine menu -but to be honest in these crazy times keeping everyone safe that is totally understandable.

Pub with a local feel but never felt welcome, served two pints of undrinkable Exmoor Stag which normally doesn’t taste of cleaning fluid. Replaced it for something else and found we’d been charged for both the replacement and the original pints. Maybe the staff need to go on customer service training as we won’t ever be going back, avoid this pub.

Poor service. Was found a table by the window to have a drink then waited twenty minutes to get served( no bar service due to Covid-19) only two girls on duty and most of the time all they were interested in was chatting at the far end of the bar. However some locals next to us said the food was very good so we thought we would stay so waited for ages trying to get the attention of the staff to get a menu and order some more drinks but to no avail. Gave up in the end and left.

We ate here on two occasions and on both the food and staff were very good. Staff were friendly and welcoming and did their utmost to allocate tables to customers who had not booked whilst abiding by the usual regulations.The food portions were huge and, sadly, meant I could not squeeze in a dessert although they looked lovely. Everything served was hot and the Mediterranean Vegetable Tart was really tasty. Great food and staff - recommended.

Stayed at seven stars during ‘Covid’ what a disappointment. They shut pub/restaurant during majority of our stay without telling us, when we paid . Room superior double , carpet needed a Hoover & was dirty , no soap in the soap dispenser in bathroom, no full length mirror, furniture marked & doesn’t fit ( nasty bruise on my thigh due to bedside table sticking out into walk way), drawers stick, don’t fit properly, only 5 coat hangers . Went for night out & got locked out in rain for over 15mins as lock was stuck , had to call & wait for staff to arrive ( nobody here as pub shut ) . Nothing luxurious about being stuck out side in rain . Booking.com advertised as B & B it’s not , Cereal & yogurt in room is not breakfast. Very disappointed definitely not luxury but changing premium price for standard product.

We booked to stay at the Seven Stars as we had no children for the night. We decided to eat in the restaurant there, great decision as It was the Best steak and Kidney pie that I’ve ever had! The Staff were really friendly too.

Visited this pub on Saturday for our Anniversary meal (and also the previous Sunday for Sunday lunch, which was ok) and we were shown to the upstairs restaurant. Our waitress was smiley and very polite. The waitress gave recommendations from the menu and the sea bass was perfectly cooked, absolutely delicious. My husband had chicken and chorizo pie and his portion was HUGE - he said it was wonderful! The banoffee pie was also to die for. The service was great and all staff were helpful and welcoming (unlike another pub in the same group by the higher ferry). We would have given five stars had the Sunday lunch been a bit better.

We have eaten here twice on a 5 day break . The roast dinner was awful beef tough vegetables underdone and roast potatoes dripping in fat . Eton mess for dessert it was lovely but warm paid the price with an upset tummy next day . Second visit played safe with chicken burger hubby had chilli and we complained. Chilli dry and overdone looked as if it had been reheated numerous times . Feel sorry for the staff overworked and they are not to blame . People are paying good money to eat in this restaurant and expect better .

Lovely meal, great atmosphere. We had the tapas board and mussels to share - the first time I’d tried mussels and they were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed the panko squid and the house special of Roasted Cod followed by sticky toffee pudding. All 3 courses were cooked lovely and tasted fantastic. A very enjoyable meal followed by a few relaxed drinks

We went for dinner with two young children. The pub had a nice feel about it and the restaurant upstairs was also nice. The food was tasty, especially the sweet potato fries and the service was good until the end when it came to paying the bill, they didn’t seem to want to take our money! Only negative was the limited kids menu which has been the same the last few restaurants we have been to.

a very familiar cafe but different owners, very busy so sat opposite at their outside seating area. Cheese on toast was excellent.

Lovely little pub, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the seafront, but equally really busy! Booked a table for 2 upstairs in the restaurant. Food was top notch, staff very friendly and helpful. Everything in place for sanitising etc. Couldn't fault it! Well worth a visit.

We had a super meal here having booked in advance. I had the chilli which was delicious and plentiful! The fish and chips ordered by another of our party barely fit on the plate. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the service was really friendly too. Thoroughly recommend!

tried to have a drink in this pub with other friends already eating upstairs but the service from the older woman manager behind the bar was awful. pub fairly busy at lunchtime but there was a table for two near the bar which we tried to use. as soon as my friends sat down the woman behind the bar said you cant sit here. they moved to another pub . we then tried to sit there about half an hour later and got the same treatment. it turns out you couldnt use this table allegelly due to covid. if thats the case why not put a sign on it or do away with it at this point i was warned by by mates that the food service had stopped and there were plenty of tables upstairs to have a drink. we asked to go up there and was told bluntly. no . i dont get this, here is an empty table waiting to be used by drinkers and yet our money was turned away. in the current climate this is non sense no doubt the same woman will in a months time be moaning that the tourists have gone and theres no customers. with her attiude you wouldnt want to set foot in the place again.

Very impressed with our visit here. Pub style downstairs and more restaurant style upstairs, all very COVID 19 aware. A good variety on the menu and seamless service from the team. We recommend the baked camanbert with dipping bread to share....the best we have ever had.

First time visit in 40 years coming to Dartmouth, lovely food, huge portions, tasty and service was excellent, would highly recommend. Mushroom soup starter and Scampi main was superb. Party of 6, social distancing in place upstairs, Covid aware pub, thank you, felt safe.

We ate in the upstairs restaurant and the tables were well spaced. Service was friendly and just the right pace. Food was lovely and there was a good selection. We had prawn cocktails and the special southern fried chicken and steak pie. All very good and no room for pudding.

I visited this place some 4 years ago as they had just been renovated and reopened and was not impressed. Today it is a great place. Good food Good service great staff and great atmosphere. A lovely looking pub and restaurant. Come here if you have time

Fantastic food and great service . Highly recommend, 6 family members welcome with open arms. We have eaten out all week in town and this was the best meal so far .

After deciding not to travel abroad this year we decided to stay in County and found ourselves in Dartmouth for the evening. It was a Monday and with the 'Eat out to Help Out' we weren't sure we'd find anywhere available for dinner. On popping my head round the door I was warmly greeted and on checking told that a reserved table in the restaurant hadn't shown up. The staff were so attentive despite being busy. The menu was fantastic, with a great children's menu too, and the food was amazing...so good in fact we tried to book again the next night but alas they were fully booked.

Very busy on a Friday night and even booking in advance had to have a late sitting. Food was very good although a few things unavailable particularly on dessert menu. Service was also good and reasonably friendly

The staff were super friendly, and amazing accommodating for customers with allergies. The food was super in HUMONGOUS portions! It all tasted amazing. My partner said the thai-style veggie burger was the best veggie burger he has ever had. Staff were able to cook everything from scratch so most of the menu was available as gluten-free

We managed to get a table reservation despite town being packed and Restaurant very busy.The menu is not massive but the quality and service are excellent.We all thoroughly enjoyed our choices, and were really impressed at how friendly and efficient all the staff were from the initial phone enquiry to the end of the meal.

Great pub food and service Family lunch - reserved table was waiting and friendly service throughout. Excellent food selection and quality, large portions- check out the specials KH s board.

Excellent pub meal , good selection and great service , however let down by the manageress (short , blonder hair , European accent ) who felt it appropriate to berate her kitchen staff in front of customers . Tainted the night and we won’t return as a result of her lack of professionalism .

This place was recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Mouthwatering menu. Something for everyone. I opted for the Sea-bass from the Specials Board. Absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and freshly caught. My husband chose the Homemade Steak and Kidney Pie from the regular menu which was lovely too. Will definitely be returning. Cannot recommend more highly.

Excellent food,good portion sizes, great service, very helpful and friendly staff, would highly recommend.

Absolutely disappointed in our recent 2 night stay here.I had phoned up last month to book a room for Two adults and two children and this was confirmed and paid nearly £400 for a 2 night stay.I didn't get any confirmation email and I tried emailing them but nothing. Tried calling them but no one ever seemed to answer calls.Managed to get hold of them the day before arrival and they confirmed my booking.Upon arrival the manageress told us that we only booked a double room. But for an additional £30 a night for each child they would put in day beds. I agreed but told them to just put one in for now as my son may stay with our friends who lives around the corner.Came back that night at 1030 tired and happy from a day out only to be followed upstairs and verbally attacked on our doorstep by the manageress who accused us of trying to sneak our son in without paying!. We tried to explain to her that we just wanted to settle the kids in the room before we came down to notify staff.She didn't want to know.Fortunately my daughter recorded all of this on her phone and both my children were in tears and wanted to leave that night.We were spoken to so badly and offered to leave if they would refund us but she wouldn't.Needless to say this episode ruined the holiday.Shame on the staff to cause trauma and upset to innocent children.Very unfriendly.

We visited the Seven Stars on the first night of our Dartmouth Holiday, we were VERY happy we'd chosen to go there, the children both had pizza, chips and one had beans, one had cucumber!! I had mussels in a garlic and cream sauce with fries and I asked for bread to mop up the extra sauce!! My Husband had steak and kidney pie and LOVED it! Definitely 5 stars for the Seven Stars! Lovely Friendly staff and a great find! We would thoroughly recommend going here. Excellent implementation of COVID-19, we felt safe there.

Great food, great staff...we had a lovely meal here on our visit to Dartmouth. We managed to get a table but a very busy place. I had calamari to start and we excellent...My wife had the full Sea Bass and I had the Gammon for mains and both were excellent. Staff were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Would recommend for dinner.

We visited in July. Small pub with plenty of character. Good food with huge portions. Service a bit slow when we visited, but it was extremely busy.

My self and my partner had 2 visits to this pub/restaurant. On both occasions the pub was warm and welcoming. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. The food was delicious and was very good value, which is in stark contrast to our visit to the cherub inn (which was dreadful). Overall would recommend every time!

Visit this place only if you like your roast beef uncooked and terrible service . What a shame as it is a fantastic location

Walked into this pub after walking around all the others in Dartmouth and being turned away as a lack of tables due to new social distancing rules. The chap behind the bar did his best to find us a table and gave us a time to return. The service was really good, we were told we had the table for two hours, which suited us. The food was fantastic. Really friendly staff, lovely old pub, Great atmosphere. Will return next time we are in the area.

My sister and I dropped in here for a cheeky half. The staff were very welcoming, the place was clean and everyone was mindful of safety but without losing a sense of enjoyment in the presence of others.Missing a star because they had run out of their draft cider and we didn’t eat.But other than that a great pub amongst so many

we stayed here last week,. q lovely quirky pub in beautiful Dartmouth. The staff were lovely and the food was fab. we both had the salad, which was amazing. Im usually a little worried about the size and quality of a salad in Uk, but you could not fault this one. All the food coming out looked lovely. would definately recommend. booking essential

We ate here twice during our stay. What a lovely pub and the food was lovely and huge portions. The staff very friendly and although numbers were down due to the virus they still couldn't do enough for us. Well done.

Came in for lunch after a walk over from Blackpool Sands..with dog. Friendly and welcoming staff, and a very substantial sandwiches and ciabatta plus chips. We were well looked after and barely had room for ice cream after (well...there is always room for ice cream, but it was a close run thing!). Very much recommended for SW Coast Path walkers.

Worse hotel ive been to rude staff,no toilet roll bed was that knackered i would not let a dog sleep on it.don not book up other hotels far more welcoming

Whilst looking for somewhere to eat my friend and I 'found' the Seven Stars and it's a great place.We had to wait a bit as it was very busy, I'd definitely recommend booking. The staff were excellent and friendly.The menu covers most tastes and the doecisls board also looked very good!As I love seafood and it's a coastal town I was purely on fish! Both of my dishes looked and tasted great. My friends were also quality dishes.I'd definitely recommend tbis place and would happily return.
