The Castle Inn in South Hams

Simply the best roast dinner within the local area. Rebecca certainly does the tastiest, fluffiest roast potatoes. Always on point and she’s so keen to know what we think of them. It’s now our favourite place to have a roast and we have been back several times. We’ve decided this is going to be our new tradition. Tim is so friendly and welcoming. Very informative and knowledgeable. All staff spend time getting to know their customers, their names, likes and dislikes. I true gem of a traditional village pub

Staying for the wk end in Paignton, went exploring to Stoke Gabriel and found The Castle Inn pub and had an amazing Sunday roast, highly recommend very friendly

very bad the large roast is same portion as small, our food got messed up with another table and then took a hour to get to us.

Absolutely loved this pub! My family popped in for a pint after a late night walk and my son spotted the dart board. The barman could not have been more helpful- moving tables and even getting the mat out for my boys to play darts. We felt so welcomed, so much so that we went back the following night for dinner- which was amazing! The food here is fantastic and so fresh(my scampi was caught that morning!) great atmosphere and we were made to feel very at home there. We will definitely return!

What a lovely evening we had at the Castle Inn. My dad took us here while we was on holiday. The food was absolutely fantastic, all home made and delicious. Their was 5 people in our party and all 5 of us cleaned our plates, and said it was the best pub meal we had in a long time, and really nice sized portions too. The evening was topped off with incredible hospitality. The young gent who served us, was efficient and extremely friendly, he could not do enough for us. He really is a credit to the Inn and I wish more people was like him, in the industry. I really wish we had got his name, so the pub can know what an amazing job he did🥰

Went to The Castle Inn tonight with husband and two friends and our meals were all excellent. We all had something different and we could not fault any of them. The staff were also friendly and service was good. We had a great night and will eat here again.

Booked for 6 people for lunch Sunday roast really good quality and portion One of party was gluten free they advised all food that was suitable

Lovely pub. We booked a Sunday lunch in early Jan and the pub was very quiet which was a shame. We got the feeling the pub would be great with a buzz when full!! The barman was new I suspect as he got the drinks wrong but it wasn’t a big problem! Food was very good indeed I spite of small numbers! Can’t really fault the place at all and it was a shame it was so quiet but that’s just how it is! Give this place a go! It’s good

Warm welcome. ..made to feel very welcome upon arrival, although we are not local. Very informative hosts who gave us lots of advice on local activities in the area. The atmosphere was warm and cosy. Definitely recommend.

A nice pub but it was empty when we went in for Sunday lunch. The owner had the golf commentary blaring from a phone in his pocket As he walked around which was annoying. Sunday lunch was plentiful but a bit tasteless which was a shame. We went past in the evening and it looked pretty lovely with fairy lights up and more people inside.

We walked here with our dog from Broadleigh Camping site. The walk is just over a mile. Staff are very welcoming at this pub. Lots of people with dogs who are allowed to sit inside. We had the curry as it was curry night, and it was very tasty and lots of it. Saw some pizzas coming out and they looked amazing too.

What a lovely pub .., great food… excellent service from the young waiter who was so helpful! Little gem in this village x

We had the best Sunday roast at The Castle Inn. It was absolutely delicious, generous portions including 6 different vegetables. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat to us. They also have a lovely outside beer garden.

I had a pepperoni pizza which cost £13.00 and was revolting. The base was i am sure shop brought and like cardboard. There was no real cheese on the pizza The chips were under cooked with no seasoning. If you are going to have a pizza menu they should be home made

Would definitely recommend. We (6 adults, 2 children and a dog) just had a lovely home cooked meal. Generous Portions and reasonably priced. Not a quick reheat pub but an actual lovely freshly cooked meal. Well worth a small wait, totally expected as you cooked the meal. We had between us a Roast, Pie, Lasagne, Hunters chicken, Burgers, Sausage and chips. All lovely. As was the desserts. Staff were busy - it was Easter Sunday. But they were attentive, welcoming and always smiling. Thank you.

Coach of 20 of us turned up for 2 hours drinking. Made to feel so welcome by the locals and bar staff. Played music and had sing along between us and the regulars and they even came outside to wave the coach off. Highly recommend this pub.

We stayed locally arriving on the Sunday afternoon, had a great Sunday roast here in the evening. Great portion sizes and plenty if it. Nothing was too much bother. We were made to feel so welcome on both visits by all the locals in there. Very dog friendly too 🐶

Thank you for a great meal! Party of 11 we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Great variety of vegetables and meat. You catered well for vegetarians of the party. Very welcoming ! Thank you for your hospitality.

We stayed locally and enjoyed the castle inn on a few occasions enjoying the local ciders and also lovely Sunday roast. The hosts were good fun and nothing was any bother.

We were greeted with a good welcome then my drink came which was off but was asked if I would like a different drink which I did I couldn’t complain about that. I ordered the pork roast which was not very hot and very fatty and I would say undercooked when the older gentleman came to take the plates said are these finished I said yes and it wasn’t amazing his reply was ok and walked off, most pubs would say what was the problem but no . When we when to pay usually you would get sorry you didn’t enjoy your meal etc. we paid with no please or thank you from him he needs to change his profession because customer service was not good . We then went to the The church House inn for a pint and was welcomed with excellent service and a smile

We had a little two night stay in the Village and decided to eat at the Castle Inn. We had lovely burgers..mine was too big so I had to leave some! Friendly staff and there was a nice atmosphere. Will definately come back ⭐️

Come across this pub, on a visit to the beautiful village of Stoke Gabriel, whilst staying just outside Paignton. We were welcomed into the bar by the hosts and the locals. The good Food and the welcome we received, we decided to visit a few nights later before travelling home. Will use again next time we stay in Paignton. Thank you for you welcome.

We went to The Castle for food, the fish and chips was lovely. The night we visited they had a singer who was very good and very entertaining. Would recommend the Castle to anyone who wants a good, entertaining night out with good food. Staff were all really friendly.

The food was amazing we had 3 different meals and everyone was gorgeous the Ribs, curry and mixed grill all good portions, service was excellent would defiantly recommend this pub

Came here for birthday meal with friends. Very dog friendly. Food was great with varied menu and separate pizza menu. Service and staff amazing, nothing to much trouble, obviously a community village pub where everyone makes you feel welcome. Lovely atmosphere with nice dining area...

We planned to have dinner in this pub but when we arrived the decor was a little unusual for a village pub, this put some of our family off from eating as they are not keen on stringed leds as lighting. We decided to have...

Went with a large group. Food was excellent, service was fantastic and overall a great experience. Very friendly and welcoming.

Came in at around 4.45pm on Saturday after a day paddle boarding on the river. We asked what time food service started as me and my partner was needing some food. The lovey gentleman running the restaurant informed us that food service starts at 5.30pm...

A lovely village pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, great beers and good food. Visited for dinner and a few beers, which came at a really reasonable price and the service was great. Friendly and helpful staff aswell as friendly local drinkers. Came back...

So we had a table booked for 7.00,arrived on time, choose your own table, selected from menu, food arrived @ 7.45, no big issue Food was ok, plates cleared, waited 15 mins still no offer of dessert, asked for menu to be told kitchen is...

How wonderful a small village can support two pubs. This is an unpretentious and very doggy friendly locals' boozer. Friendly crew. We chose to eat here as they had steak and kidney pud on the menu. A pub favourite but not always seen. I have...

On arrival asked for an orange and lemonade for wife and received orange squash and lemonade thought strange as never had that before in pub. Then onto the main meal ordered Chicken Kebab pretty poor , just cooked not red mindyou allthough obviously checked this...

We’ve just got home after a lovely Sunday dinner at our local. How lucky are we?! Tender Roast beef (himself) and Lamb (her indoors). Thank you Bex and Bob. Absolutely delicious and so were the puds. The Cheesecake was light and really enjoyed. See you...

Sunday lunch at the Castle inn. A clean modern but traditional pub . We were greeted by friendly staff. The service was good quick and pleasant. The food was exceptional with a choice of Lamb , Pork or Beef. Recommended drink would be the locally...

A great little find whilst holidaying locally. A lovely pub with friendly staff. An excellent choice of drinks. Would recommend you are in the area.

Great staff! Awful food! Unfortunately I wished I was writing with more positive thoughts but it was poor quality produce and terribly cooked.

I purchased 2 pizzas takeaway and received what seems to be supermarket frozen pizza with rocket on top. I am a Chef and I feed people on daily basis. To recive something like this on my family holiday is outrageous!

Never been to a place where the staff seem so disappointed you are here to spend money. Awkward atmosphere, tacky garden, blunt and rude staff. Definitely not returning.

Visited for a meal. A very friendly atmosphere and superb service. The meals are freshly cooked and superb quality. The staff extremely helpful and for a small tourist area the prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend you try this little gem.

The food we had was typical of pub food with nothing to say it stood out,quite bland. Perhaps its because we went early in the evening.Found the staff not very helpful,just put the meal down & went,no conversation

Only one member of bar staff on a busy Saturday evening - serving, pulling pints, taking orders, waiting tables, delivering food and making up bills. She’s brilliant but where is the management? Later joined by one other young lady who had been working elsewhere. I don’t know why she didn’t throw in the towel and walk out. I think that she deserved the wages of the 2 other staff members who phoned in sick at opening time in addition to her pay! Why did the landlord and landlady allow this to happen? Really unfair to put someone in this position.

During a short stay at a local caravan site we visited the Castle inn twice with our dog, the food was excellent as was the staff and landlord. We were made to feel very welcome.Highly recommended to anyone in the area. Good hearty portions of food, reasonable price. All round 5 stars, the landlord even delivered me back to the caravan site. A big thank you

Well we walk 3 miles to Castle Inn. Ask if we could spend some money on food this Sunday afternoon. Only to be told by them they was fully booked. We decided to have a drink for the walk back which turned into two drinks. We was hoping they would take pity on us and feed us for the return walk. The pub which was supposed to be fully booked had 12 guests at most. We decided that on this occasion our faces or indeed our money was not welcome.

Took my partner and our dog (a springer) into the pub as it was advertised as dog friendly with other dogs at the bar. Bought a pint and sat down only to be told shortly afterwards that my dog couldn't sit with me on a chair (bizarre behaviour as other dog friendly bars actually expect this considering they welcome dogs) so I told my dog to sit on the floor. After another couple of minutes I was told to take him outside as he was sniffing other dogs (again, how is this dog friendly?) So we sat in the beer garden. Absolutely astounded a "dog friendly pub" kicked us out for bringing a dog! Really false advertising and regretted buying a overpriced pint and supporting this rubbish. Absolutely not going again and would not recommend to other couples who want a quiet pint with their furry friends.

We had a takeaway delivery from here,and can really recommend.The lady who took our order was lovely and friendly and helpful.I had the gourmet burger and chips, one of the best burgers I've ever eaten, I wasn't too keen on the nap as I'm not a fan of white doughy bread, but that's just my taste My husband had the cod and chips, although the batter was a little thick, the cod was beautifully moist and tender.The meal arrived about 20 minutes after ordering, excellent service and we fully recommend.

Stopped off with a large group after a canoeing trip, lovely range of drinks and a friendly, local crowd made for a great atmosphere. A lovely, picturesque outside area allowing you to take in the stunning views of Devon. The tremendous landlady tried booking us several taxis back to where we were staying in Totnes however the taxi firms were unable to accommodate. At this point, customer service was taken to a whole new level as the landlady herself helped drive us home in separate trips, which allowed some of the group time for a competitive game of pool. Would definitely recommend to groups or if you fancy dropping in for a pint on your ones.

Went here with my parents last week, was able to get a table the same today and consent given for number to be used for their track and trace records. My parents aren't easily pleased customers and they came away super happy! We were looked after by a lovely lady (think her name was Kez?) who couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. Good selection of drinks and staff were very attentive to make sure we never had an empty glass for long. We had starters and mains, both of which were very generous portions so gutted I couldn't sample their desserts as I'm such they'd have been equally as wonderful. My parents had the lamb shank special and I had the ham, egg and chips. Both parents loved their food and it was beautifully cooked and served. Mine was delicious, the ham was lean and tasty and the eggs cooked exactly as I'd requested! So glad we passed this place on holiday and if we ever return to the area I'm sure we'll be back eating here too.

We telephoned ahead to check table availability and from the first moment our experience was great.The team was friendly and really helpful. Great choice of beers. Very well presented and very tasty food that was at the table in no time at all. Wear your comfy trousers because the portions are generous, but at very reasonable prices. My daughter couldn't manage her whole pizza so the staff were more than happy to stick it in a box for her to take away. Limited parking on site but there is a car park a few hundred yards down the hill. Perfect end to a great day. Thanks Team!

So delighted tonight to find a pub within walking distance of the lovely B and B we found in Stoke Gabriel. Good first impressions, decoration and good variety of choices on the menu, including vegan (a boon in a country pub!). The young waitress was very friendly and informative. On requesting the vegan curry to be mild she even came back to us after confirming this was ok with the kitchen, so I have no doubt that our request was made to the chef. A full hour later (!) our food arrived. The mild vegan curry was so hot that neither me nor my daughter could eat it (my veg tart was pleasant enough). Alongside this disappointment, we felt so incredibly sorry for the aforementioned young waitress who was single handedly running the restaurant service, billing and making of deserts. The other staff who were standing behind an empty bar should feel ashamed of themselves and also responsible for this poor review of a pub with so much potential. The pub was by no means full so I cannot imagine why they do not offer the currebt ‘eat out to help out’ scheme, this was a further disappointment.

We decided to pay a quick visit to The Castle Inn for a bite to eat after a busy day.Bob and Bex were very accommodating .During Lock Down.Bob has done a lot of work in their garden so we opted to have a table there.It was lovely to enjoy a vino and food in the evening sun. The Ham ,egg and chips was excellent as was The Lasagne with salad and chips.

In this difficult time it was wonderful to have dinner delivered hot to the door.As it was not a visit to the Castle some of the comments are not relevant .Scampi and chips is a wonderful pub meal and is equally delicious eaten at home although the atmosphere of the Castle is missing, however the welcome was the same as ever.

Hi Bob and Bex!As I’m not a ‘Facebooker’ I’ve had to use the traditional way to say thank you for our dinner this evening. Bob was a welcome sight coming down the path with our takeaway Pizzas. They were delicious, piping hot and thoroughly enjoyed. Next time it’ll be the curry I think.......... Thank you again Love Col and Di xx

Staff were happy for us to book a table of ten (six adults and four children - 6 to 9). Good sized portions and well cooked food, both meats and vegetables.

Lovely welcome. The lunch was really good with a wonderful selection of vegetables. Beef was delicious and perfectly cooked. Great value for money.

Another superb meal and celebration in the castle. Well done to the team great food great atmosphere

Lovely pub, fab food and a fantastic live band and atmosphere. Dog friendly too! Also loved the little details in the ladies!

A one night stay in Stoke Gabriel and a place for supper needed. Out of 4 possibilities the Castle Inn was the one place open. The other pub had a national quiz on and the other two eateries were closed. However the Castle Inn did not disappoint. We both had fish which was nicely cooked. It had a nice cosy atmosphere and friendly service

Called in late on a Sunday and had a lamb roast dinner - was absolutely delicious and fantastic presentation. Excellent! Great service too!

Previous reviews set my expectations higher than the reality - very average traditional pub food, no frills. It was a mid week in October so very quiet. Staff very helpful though.

Our family group of eight visited for Sunday lunch on a blustery and pretty damp day. There had been a tremendous gale the night before, so whether everyone was hunkered down indoors I don't know, but the pub was nearly empty which surprised me. All started well, our waitress was so nice, and although only roast meals were on the menu, we had known that and it suited us well. It was all very pleasant, although there were some comments that the meat wasn't that tasty. However things went a bit downhill when we all ordered different puds (mostly ice-cream combinations), and it became obvious the young waitress had to make and serve all these on her own. Consequently there was a long wait, with the first servings appearing so long before the last, that some of us had finished before others had started. We felt this was disappointing, given that there were several other 'staff' standing around in various places. It spoilt the otherwise enjoyable occasion, and I'm afraid most of the family said they would not return. We shall see - I would give it another chance.

This was the worst experience for years. We were wet and hungry after camping and we're looking forward to a pub meal. At first we were told that they were full but then they said that they could accommodate us if we ordered quickly. The ordering process took ages and then the food took longer, not being able to hear ourselves think over the raucous drunk people swearing at the bar.

Having previously enjoyed our meal at The Castle Inn some time ago we decided to return. Unfortunately our experience this time did not live up to our expectation. It happened to be a Curry & Quiz night but the normal menu was available which we thought would be fine but we found it uninspiring and did not think there was such a wide choice as previously. Because we were hungry and felt too tired to go elsewhere we ordered our food and it came very quickly. Although we ate our meals we cannot say we particularly enjoyed them. I do not often have to write a poor review but this was one of those occasions.

We were staying in the village and needed tea. I opted for curry, jalfrezi, expecting a savoury stew. It was quite warm! And tasty. Lovely poppadoms and mango chutney. Nice little nan bread. Tasty.

Excellent sunday roast. Best ever. Friendly staff. Nice beers and a fine athmosphere. Avoid Torbay go to Stoke Gabriel and visit the Castle Inn.

Great food for a lunchtime, with an adequate range of beers & cider to choose from & very friendly staff

Advised after ordering and then waiting 25 minutes that there was no chef and the wait would be another 25 minutes. Cant believe it. Management team left it to a young waitress to deal with disgruntled customers.

We ate in The Castle Inn on the first night of our holiday in Stoke Gabriel. It is a nice pub with a well stocked bar with snacks and a restaurant area at the back. The staff at the bar were friendly and it was not difficult for us to get a table early evening on a Saturday.

We paid a visit to the Castle inn on a dank dreary wet day in August. We were made very welcome from the minute we entered the door. What a lovely country pub with a good selection of ales and gins. It is also very dog friendly thpugh our four legged friends cannot go into the restaurant area.

Delightful English country pub in the Devon countryside. Lovely landlady, super food all cooked to order and a great atmosphere. Dog and kid friendly with a pool room, parking opposite.

Myself and my partner were recommended dinner here whilst staying at Stoke Gabriel Lodgings.

Not many pubs can equal a home cooked roast, but this did. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to eating there when I return to the area.

Very good quality food but be prepared for a long wait - there was only one other table in the pub having food and we waited an hour to receive ours. They do let you know that everything is cooked to order and will take time but we felt this was a little be too long and lost interest whilst waiting. However when the food arrived is was well cooked and good quality

We were staying in stoke Gabriel and this is one of the lovely pubs in the area. We opted for a take away pizza and had a drink whilst we waited; the atmosphere is lovely and very welcoming and the food and drinks were good too!

Really great place. Thus place had a bad rep but new owners have turned it around and brightened it up. Would definitely go again when back in stoke Gabriel

Very welcoming local inn. Excellent Sunday roast. Friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Wish it was my local!

Called in on the off chance of getting some Sunday lunch. We did manage to get 2 roast dinners, which were excellent and more than enough food for us both. Would not hesitate to go back, next time we are in the area

Warm welcome lovely fresh food cooked from scratch real ale very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Thank you for our lovely fish and chips.

As it was Sunday, I fancied a roast! I was offered pork or beef, my wife ordered the pie of the day. Shortly after ordering I was told that a party of ten had pre-ordered the roast and there weren’t any roast potatoes left for me. I was offered mash, which I refused. I ordered pie of the day instead. It was a steak and ale pie and quite honestly it was dire. The meat was cubes of hard, pre-cooked beef. Some of the chips weren’t cooked through and the broccoli was virtually raw. I like my vegetables crisp but not raw. We paid and left. I didn’t feel like complaining, I just wanted to go.

By far the nicest roast lamb lunch I’ve ever had. Even better than my own. Staff are warm and welcoming a lovely atmosphere and the fanciest ladies toilets I’ve ever seen.

We spent a weekend in Stoke Gabriel. A pretty village but the food options are limited. We ate at The Castle Inn and I had a pizza which was very average nice staff though. A captive audience for visitors.

Friendly service and fair priced food. Good choice of veggie options, the pizza was yummy. I enjoyed the decor especially the glitter themed toilets very nice touch

Worth going looking for on a blustery evening, warm welcome from staff and customers; and a log burner. Fairly basic menu but food fully met expectations, nicely presented, decent portion size etc. Parking looked tricky to start with but there is lay by (3 hour stay) just up the hill from pub. Dogs welcome in the bar but not the restaurant. Thank you, nice evening meal.

The best pub we have ever visited while on holiday. Super dog friendly, great selection of beers, cider and gin. Fantastic food with a new range of pizzas available for take away if required, can highly recommend these. Lovely log fire on a cooler night to add to the warm welcome. Keep up the good work Bex, Bob and Staff (Debbie x) We will be back for definite later in the year.

Excellent food in proper pub Service good and food very well cooked Steak pie and crab platter delicious

Brought the family (including a three year old), good food and welcoming atmosphere Would visit again

Fabulous food here. Village pub with restaurant area, very friendly welcome, great meal. Pretty village with a quay on the River Dart and historic church and orchard for a post meal stroll.

Bob and Bec's will make you most welcome. A great range of beers and i must say the Jail Ale was superb. The food was delicious with good portions and a great selection from the menu. Bec's chicken curry is a must if available as was the Sunday roast. Dog friendly is an understatement. Our Lola was made very welcome with treats on offer at the bar and settled in no problem. A real village pub with very friendly locals. We were out exploring most days with a lot of good info on where to go from the locals. Cannot wait to go back and see everybody again soon.

Just got back home after calling in to this pub for the first time. Arrived at 2pm and asked what they could offer for a vegan. They have a new chef called Debs who was so accommodating. She knocked up a delicious vegan burger with onion ring, a side salad, flavoured rice, olives and marinated carrots. Very friendly people here, not gourmet food but good honest pub grub at a very reasonable price.

What a shabby experience we had at The Castle Inn, Stoke Gabriel, Devon! A beef-burger order was inedible because of the ghastly, cheap taste, : childrens’ orders: one contained a hair, the other had a bone in the fish goujon, ‘the roast turkey’ was sliced from tinned meat, and the ham was from a catering tin. There wasn’t any Manager-intervention regarding our dissatisfaction, and we had to pay - for the dis-pleasure of dining at what we THOUGHT would be a reputable venue!!! (The Castle does NOT have a car park but The Church Inn does. Go there instead!).

A good village pub serving excellent beer and good food. We had a really good Sunday lunch with home cooked food well presented, plentiful and tasty. The only think I would amend is to serve the gravy in a boat, rather than pre-poured.

It was Bank Holiday Monday. The usual chef was not on duty but we were made very welcome and had a good meal. The Landlord even gave my son in law a free drink for his birthday which was the same day as his. We will definitely go again soon.

Brought family here over the bank holiday weekend. Lovely bar with good beer. The food was also excellent.

Very busy bank holiday weekend, called in for a few drinks on the Saturday and was made to feel very welcome enjoyed it so much we decided to go back on Sunday for a Roast, they were very busy but went out of their way to accommodate us and it was so worth waiting for, Excellent food.

Very busy bank holiday Sunday short staffed but the food and Jail Ale went down well I had Ham Eggs chips and peas OH had Scampi food was served hot and tasty topped off with Sticky Toffee Pudding locals in the bar were very friendly and welcoming.

We went in for a simple drink & food for 2. 7pm & pub quiet. We ordered & Sat for 30 minutes waiting. We reminded staff about our food. After an hour we kicked up a fuss. Especially as the people after us had already been served.

Currently sitting in The Castle Inn after eating very nice ham, chips and egg. My other half enjoyed the curry. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and food came quickly enough but also took long enough so you knew it was cooked from scratch. Very child friendly as only on two levels with two smallish steps. There are children of all ages at four of the five occupied tables. We will be back for more.

Found this inn when we were driving through the village, so took the number down and called to book a table. When we arrived, the bar was packed with locals, all of whom seemed to have a dog and one of the locals offered a very friendly welcome. Interestingly, the bar pretty much emptied around half seven!

Our 1st night here at Stoke Gabriel, needed some-thing to eat, I had the salmon, mediterranean veg with crispy herb potatoes £12.95, the other half had a trio of Cumberland sausages mash and gravy £9.95 just what we needed all long with a good pint and a wine, all served by happy smiling staff, we sat in the beer garden just down the side of the pub, plenty of tables and chairs but not much room for children to play, there may well be another area for them, some parts are in the shade we needed that as it was sooo hot. Nice clean relaxed village pub, called again when the carnival was on very busy as you may expect but didn`t have to wait too long for our drinks. Good value for your money and to meet the village people.
