Smeatons Smokehouse in South Hams

We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday. Service was great, food was so good and a great atmosphere. Tried food I wouldn’t normally try and thoroughly enjoyed every dish. So much food that I was full to the brim. If I’d been charged twice what I was I wouldn’t have complained. Too busy eating to take photos so you’ll have to go skiing to see what it’s like. You will not regret eating in this restaurant, it was an amazing experience!

top 5 burgers I've ever had hand on heart

Best meal we've had in ages, and some of the best chips potentially ever. Highly recommend for meat eaters and veggies

Be aware: We were staying in a accommodation that had overbooked, which meant that we had to leave one day earlier than expected. We had no alternative but to drive home - we couldn't just hang around Dartmouth with nowhere to stay. We gave Taylors as much notice of cancellation as we got of having to leave, but Taylors charged us £40 for the cancellation. It was half-term week and every other restaurant we had been to prior to this had been fully booked - signage outside - so I would imagine that our table for 2 would have been filled. It just sticks in the craw getting punished for something completely beyond your control. In answer to your response: There is no point discussing it because there hasn't been a misunderstanding. Its not like we didn't show up. We gave you as much written notice as we had, when we were suddenly told to vacate our double-booked accommodation. I just wanted to bring to potential customers attention that if: They might be involved in a car accident OR One of their group might fall ill OR Weather issues might cause transport issues OR like us, we had to depart our accommodation unexpectedly because it had been double booked, THEN, they will forfeit a minimum of £40 - for 2 persons (more for a bigger party). This is just a warning that if a life event happens, and don't they just happen at the most inopportune times, then they are going to be gifting you £40 minimum to keep the Range Rovers purring over. This really spoilt a lovely break to say 'goodbye' to Dartmouth as a result of stage 4 metastatic bowel to lung cancer. Rockfish was great. Bayards Cove Inn was great. The highlight restaurant fined and punished us. I wish you all the success you deserve.

We arrived in Dartmouth for a weeks holiday and after reading the reviews thought Bushell’s Upper Deck sounded great so we walked down to give it a go. It’s a pop up restaurant and it was its last night of the summer. They welcomed us, explained as it was their last night there was a limited menu. We had a super meal, starters of squid and garlic flatbread, followed by seafood risotto and American pizza, finished off with tiramisu and ice cream. Fabulous food, great service, very friendly and welcoming and fabulous views. We certainly struck lucky! Thank you!
