The Dartmoor Diner in South Hams

Car park bad ,food was not cooked ,then microwave (to be fair we were not charged,for that meal ). But my husband who likes strong tea asked for an extra tea bag in his pot of tea ,they charge 5.00 making it a pot for two !!!!!! We will not be returning.

Had lunch at The Diner today and it was delicious. Can highly recommend the Roast Turkey. Perfect on a rainy, windy day! Will look forward to returning again soon.

What a lovely spot for a home traditional cooked meal. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were really friendly. We will be coming back.

We have visited the diner many times and not had any issues. The breakfasts are good and really like the veggie one. Their pie meal is very good, tastes nice and plenty of veg, very filling. The coffee is strong which I like. The prices are fair. Never had a bad meal here. The staff are pleasant. Sometimes service is slow but not often enough to bother us. Nice outdoor area with picnic tables if you prefer to sit in the fresh air.

Slow service.Meals arrived at different times. Had to fetch own sauces. My Gammon steak was so tough that it was almost inedible. When I complained I was offered a free drink!!! Not the Dartmoor Diner I remembered in bygone years.

A group of family and friends visited this place recently for the first time . The roast dinners chosen, were mainly unfinished because of the poor standard of the food . No yorkshire puddings, as the “ chef “ had burnt them ! The veg was awful, and the potatoes were old and hard. My hunter’s chicken had been nuked in the microwave, therefore the bacon , cheese and barbecue sauce were basically a guey mess . The price of the meals are for the quality , high. As my heading says, first and last

Very poor. Basically paid £18 for peas, carrots and gravy. We asked for a child’s roast as I can’t manage large meals but if you’re over a certain age, it’s not an option!! The roast potatoes were hard and obviously old. Cauliflower cheese a gloopy mess and the vegetarian gravy took too long to come out therefore making our meals luke warm. We ordered Diet Pepsi but when the waitress brought them out, they were mixed up and in the wrong sizes. We weren’t asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. This is my first visit to this establishment and it will most definitely be my last.

Called in here late afternoon for a small family get together. Friendly staff and good food that arrived quickly. My only gripe is the horrendously rough car park. Not a deal breaker but OMG how rough. We will still be back though, just driving very slowly.

How Expensive! Ridiculous pricing, two coffees and two thin slices of treacle tart £22.40, and it wasn’t good either. Avoid is my advice

Shocking food. Really poor. Staff were constantly arguing with each other in front of customers. We will definitely not be returning here.

Used to come here and was always gaurenteed a good breakfast but sadly I left dissapointed. Had the big breakfast and I was left wondering how small the smaller one would have been. The sausages were clearly a cheap frozen option and a grand total o faux very thin slices of mushroom. But I a must say that the bacon was ok. On top of this my food had turned up with no coffee served and this was only brought to me when I asked. I must say that it looks like it is under new management and it does seem like a tight ship with the new team, just hoping that things improve again because they have a beautiful location to work with.

Carvery expensive but quality not matching the price Was hungry and looking forward to yesterdays carvery which had decent choice and looked ok apart from oil soaked potatoes but unfortunately I personally found it bland and turkey had unpleasant tang to it couldnt eat it Disappointed as food has been much better for the price asked

My first visit last year was fabulous, today overall was a let down, miserable service by the staff, no smiles or hello, vegetable pie was hot and tasty, waiter came over to take a menu we had on the table while we were eating without excuse me can I take this please, just put his hand over and took it, very disappointed, there was a draught coming from somewhere too, it was chilly

Good coffee, good menu, food hearty and served promptly by friendly staff. Definitely will be going back. Lots of tables we reserved which is always a good sign.

Sorry the service was incredibly slow, coke was flat, liver and bacon special the liver was uncooked in the middle and the chicken salad the chicken was tough. I was ill from the panini I had. Tried to call the next day just to let you know and save others, recipient wasn't interested. Said I'd be called back. I wasn't. First time visitor. Birthday treat. Appreciate rural and staff trying their best but being ill post lunch isn't cool.

We recently had breakfast at the Diner whilst the service and food was great I noticed huge cobwebs by the blinds . They looked like they’d been there sometime .

Stopped at this Diner for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The Homemade Steak pie was delicious and very filling. Service was good and prices reasonable. We'll worth the visit.

5 star rating The staff were amazing and so helpful They were full of smiles The drive was 6 hours away but was well worth going there We had a wonderful Turkey roast , lovely dessert and delicious drink . We will be back , I am sure

Delicious hot home made food, very friendly young man serving us, nothing too much trouble, we booked a table as it was very busy, a sign of a good place to eat

We were held up in traffic and the chef waited for us even though he was due to go home! All the staff welcomed us including the chef who cooked us a delicious meal each! The vegetarian moussaka was superb and the roast lamb was excellent! The cake selection was so varied and portions were huge! Nothing was too much trouble and we were absolutely spoiled! Thank you so much!

Cafe close to my home which we usually just drive past as seems a bit charmless… however decided to try it out for a breakfast. Most dry and terrible cooked breakfast I’ve ever had. Also very overpriced for what you get. Was literally just egg, sausage, bacon and toast. You have to pay extra for any beans, tomatoes or mushroom etc which would make it less dry, I would’ve expected at least beans or tomatoes as these usually come with a breakfast. The place lacked character/friendliness and staff seemed lacklustre Overall not a great experience and would not return despite the convenient location

A planned picnic on Dartmoor had to be abandoned due to pouring rain. We decided to move on to The Dartmoor Diner following a friends recommendation. The car park was full and as we had not booked we enquired as to the possibility of lunch. Our luck was in there was a table for four left. The waitress who showed us in could not have been more helpful. My wife was in an electric chair and this lady moved furniture. around to make sure we were seated comfortably. She was brilliant. As for the food it matched the service. No fine dining here but honest to goodness Devon food cooked in true Dartmoor style. Honest portions of local produce looking good and tasting even better. Highlights of the lunch were roast turkey with all the trimmings and liver and bacon and onions. Brilliant! Well done Dartmoor Diner in every respect. We shall return making sure we book next time.

We booked here for a carvery on a late Sunday afternoon. We are advised the carvery would only be available if there was some left as we chose to eat at 3pm. On arrival we found the entrance a little crowded as the carvery and the till to pay are right in front of you. Its a little cramped by the entrance. After sitting down our drinks and food order was taken, luckily enough there was carvery available which 3 out of our 4 chose to have. The other opted for Chicken and Ham Pie with carvery veg. (This come plated up). The gentlemen behind the bar was very entertaining and looked after us as we were sat near there and he even Devised when to go up and get the carvery so that we would be all eating together when the pie was ready. There was plenty of choice of veg and all very tasty with 3 choices of meat. There wasn't lots left but enough for us. A special mention about the parsnips with craked black pepper as these were delicious. All in all we had a nice meal and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We would definitely go back for a carvery but for us we are happy to run the risk of none being left and go later as we can imagine at the busy times its a bit hectic being such a small venue.

The young man working on his own was the reason for the 1 star. If it wasn't fir him I'd much rather put 0. I had the chicken and ham pie my partner had hunters chicken. It was microwaved!! It was that microwaved that the pastry to my pie was hard. My partner ate a handful of chips and one bite of chicken and stopped it was that bad. Such a shame really because we've heard such good things about this place. An absolute waste of £40.

Had an absolute amazing birthday meal here, always would go with my family but I went with my husband and I this time. The staff was so friendly and there customers service was amazing. The atmosphere was so calm and relaxing with great music. The food is always a 10/10 every time I go.

Went in yesterday after taking my mum to hospital my wife had a standard breakfast same has me my mum had egg and bacon sandwich this place used to be great I think the sausages were awful cheap the coffees were nice the lady who servered us was very nice but I don’t I’d go back again

We have used The Dartmoor Diner many timesbefore but after very poor service on Mother’s Day this year, I unfortunately feel that from now on I will use one of the many other restaurants in Plymouth. I spent my hard earned money on having 3 carveries and 3 desserts delivered to my home, as the restaurant was closed due to lockdown. My booked delivery slot was 12-2.00pm. I received my order at 3.30pm, which wasn’t a problem as I understand it would be busy due to Mother’s Day orders. However, I didn’t receive my 3 desserts which cost £15.75. I called the restaurant the same day to report this but it went straight to answerphone, so I left a message. The following day, I didn’t hear back, so I called again only to be informed by Mario that as it was delivered, I needed to take this up with the delivery company (it wasn’t a well known delivery company and the only one that could be used on the Dartmoor diner website). I phoned the delivery company the same day, spoke to a female and explained my issue, she told me she was driving and would call me straight back...guess what...she didn’t!! I then called her numerous times, but each time my call wasn’t answered...my guess is she blocked my number.So...there it goes, I used the only service available on the Dartmoor diner website...and suffered paying £15.75 for goods not received, which I cannot get a refund for!! Not in anyway acceptable customer service for such a well established business! I’m hopeful that mine, my family and friends future business will be appreciated somewhere else!

What a great Lunch, Was feeling a bit fed up during the second lockdown and was missing my trips to the Dinner, so decided to book for a Sunday lunch takeout and was I pleased the lunch was still to the dinners great standard but in a takeout tray the food was very hot and very tasty, and the chocolate cake made it extra special Mmmm The staff were their friendly selves, you must try the takeout or book a table to enjoy the very high standards when it opens it's doors after lockdown you will not be disappointed.

I never thought anyone could beat my own roast dinner. I was wrong. Today we had a takeaway for 12 adults and numerous children. Absolutely not one complaint. My only moan would be why have we not used this place before. Thankyou DARTMOOR DINER for fitting us in.

Visited recently with the family for my mother's birthday.The food was excellent and the service was first class. The garlic mushrooms were fantastic and the Fish & Chips was delicious.Everyone thought there was food was great and we're all very satisfied.Albeit the desserts looked lovely, I was way too full.Looking forward to the next visit already!!

Staff weren’t welcoming. Forgot half our order, then were annoyed when we questioned it, didn’t give us cutlery... again annoyed when we asked for it. Food is nice but slightly over priced.

I thought the service was really poor ordered a cheese and tomato baguette and I thought a child had done it came out on a hot plate but a cold baguette with the tomatoes cut into quarters?? With very few crisps. Had to ask for our coffee as we had nearly ate or baguettes and still no drinks brought overNeeds a complete make over as inside looks old and dated I wouldnt go again.

We ate here one Sunday and had a roast. Food was nice apart from chef picking up the Yorkshire puddings with his fingers and practically throwing them on the plate. However had we have seen what the elderly chef had done before our food arrived we wouldn’t have eaten here. He dipped his finger into the banoffe pie, licked it off, and put his finger back in for another try!!!!!

Best place we have eaten at in a long time. I have been twice in the last month, once with my 5 children and once just with my hubby. The portion sizes are more than generous. The food is cooked perfectly and the value for money is exceptional. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

We have driven past The Dartmoor Diner countless times in the last year- but this morning stopped for a late breakfast. We are so glad we did. The Full English breakfast was so good. Cooked to perfection and hot on the plate. Often this sort of breakfast is swimming in grease, but this was not the case here. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will try out the Carvery next time - apparently you need to book if you want one.

This is a sweet restaurant in a nice location with a large car park. The service was friendly but also slow, after our plates were cleared we were left for around 20 minutes until I got up to find a member of staff and ask for our bill. The food itself is given in big portions, which is good. However I really think this place would benefit by adding an option for smaller portions, or adding something for people with smaller appetites as anyone over the age of 10 is forbidden to order from the kids menu. They are strict at enforcing this as I overheard them say no to a family with a teenager who wanted a smaller portion of food. I do think it is an outdated rule as many other places give the option of smaller portions/ aren’t strict about who orders off what menu. The food was tasty though, although the salad garnish looked like it had been left out for to long as it was browning and dry so that did put me off. I don’t think I will be returning here purely based on the fact that there isn’t much on the menu that enticed me and I prefer smaller portions of food so I don’t waste anything.

My boyfriend and I went for breakfast here on Saturday. We had great service and were even given some complimentary scrambled eggs as I forgot to ask. The cooked breakfasts were delicious and not greasy at all. High quality ingredients! The atmosphere felt very calm whilst the staff ensured all the covid 19 restrictions were adhered too. It felt so normal, calm and we were very reassured! You’re doing a great job! Keep doing what you’re doing! We will certainly be visiting again... whilst trying to shift the “covid-stone”. Thank you!!

Whilst en route to Princetown for an afternoon out, we noticed this diner. Firstly parking is adequate. As soon as we walked into the diner, we were given a very warm and friendly welcome by the staff.Four of us sat down to excellent (homely) meals. Cottage pie, fish and chips and a super burger.All ‘trimmings’ veg, chips etc were hot and good size portions.This was served in very comfortable, clean and well presented surroundings. Our service order was taken promptly by very attentive waitress who seemed genuinely intent on us having a pleasant experience. The meals arrived in very good time.(They even provide takeaway facility for the scrummy deserts).Oh yes there was some piped muzak but on the plus side this was part of the ‘diner’ ambience. Decent 50’s/60’s country and some rock music played at exactly the right volume. All in all a very pleasant experience.Would we comeback here again?You try stopping me!5 stars.....very rare from me!

Have been here a few times and had so far been great. This time however it seemed not so good. The chips with my meal were warm, as though they had been sitting in the kitchen for a while, not like they were freshly cooked.

I have been here three times in 5 years.Each visit has been excellent. The food is always lovely. The atmosphere is family friendly. They have disabled parking very close to the front door.They have a model railway line at one end of the building, inside, which means they tend to send youngsters that way. "Thomas" was working hard yesterday afternoon and the kids loved to see him puffing along.Good value, good atmosphere, good food.The only negative is the turning back onto the road. Some drivers are keen to race by.

We often visit this place and I must say, it's the best carvery yet. The staff are very friendly and are happy to help. With great Dartmoor views and a great choice of background music. We shall always attend

We popped in here on our way out to Burrator. We were seated upstairs. I've been here many times and never knew there was an upstairs. The 2 young waitresses work upstairs were working their socks off. Service was good. Food was tasty and a good price. Only issue was the smell of the kitchen coming up through the staircase and into the eating area.

I have enjoyed the food here for many years,but on closer inspection this visit noticed things that had not been cleaned for a long time,especially the fire place area,cobwebs and thick dust.

Can I thank you and your staff for your help this morning for helping me and my husband who had fallen over in the cafe lm ok thank you all again .ps ( thank for the tea ) .

Popped in on a Sunday just as they opened on a really nasty windy day, we had breakfast, it was good staff were in a way setting up still but it all happened as we expected. Thank you. The back on baguette was nice ....

On first impression all seemed very nice, friendly staff etc, shown to a table straight away. Order taken quickly and arrived within good time.When the food arrived it was very basic for the price but well cooked and tasty.When we started eating my daughter noticed a long dark hair underneath my husband's food. We know for sure it wasn't his as it was long and dark and he has short blonde hair! My husband being type 1 diabetic, decided that as he had taken his insulin injection, he could not wait any longer for his food, so carefully and with little enthusiasm for his meal now, continued eating.If this wasn't bad enough I then bit into my pulled pork roll and bit down on something hard, when I took the hard bit from my mouth I found it to be the string that's normally tied around a joint of meat!We reported this to the waitress whom apologised and went and told the chef! Neither the chef nor the management followed up on this, nothing more was said, we reluctantly paid the bill and left. It seemed as though this was quite normal for them and we left understanding this place to be quite a poor 'greasy-spoon' charging like a much better, cleaner and more hygienic restaurant! A shame, but I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The local health inspector should probably pay them a visit more often

Third visit here whilst out and about on Dartmoor for the day.Car park always busy but we always manage to get a table.Good menu and specials board all reasonably priced.Friendly, efficient service.OH had his usual omelette here and I had the pulled pork burger (which was delicious).Too full for pud but they did look gorgeous. Next time eh?

Having family in Plymouth who hadn't stopped by here, we gave it a go and were pleasantly surprised. The food was hearty, wholesome and whilst perhaps not diet-friendly certainly set us up for the day.

12 of us went here for lunch.Great food and nice staff. All the food came out together.Hot food and very reasonable.I will definitely be going back again .

Thought we would pop in for breakfast, husband had cooked brekky which was OK I asked for muesli which should of come with yoghurt and honey. When it came out it was a individual bag of alpen and jug of milk!!!! I asked for the other items that went with it so he bought me a bowl of plain yoghurt not the honey and I did not want to ask again for the honey as thought that might be too much trouble. Service was rubbish and cost was far too much. Small brekky and bowl of yoghurt and sachet of muesli, 2 drinks cost £20.20 disgusting. Never go again.

My mother and her best friend have been coming to this diner for many years, usually as a treat after less pleasant trips to Derriford hospital. As it was recently her birthday I asked her where she would like to go and she chose the Dartmoor Diner. I decided to check Tripadvisor before making the booking, so imagine my concern when I read some of the most recent reviews! However, my mother assured me that it was her favourite place so I booked.

Excellent food , willing staff, easy access, would go regularly if spouse allowed. No praise good enough.

We have been using the Dartmoor diner for many years now and the food is Excellent and always hot, to us this is very important.

Called in for coffee and a tea cake and made to feel like we were wasting their time. The waiter literally dropped our plates on the table and then stood behind the counter staring at my husband making us feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Came in for lunch today, was greeted but a waitress who looked at us like an inconvenience, I had an three egg omelette and some cheap hard cash n carry chips and paid £8, service wasn’t good and soft drinks well overpriced, don’t bother with this one unless you want to feel ripped off paying restaurant prices at a greasy spoon cafe

Stopped off here on my way to Tavistock Tuesday 16th April. Just had a tea and a home made fruit scone. The tea pot leaked massively and the scone came microwaved . It was disgusting, had to leave most of it. Background radio really loud ! The waitress however was very polite and friendly, hence I rated poor , not terrible. Would not stop here again.

We have been to the Diner quite a few times now, but Sunday the 14th of March was the last time. Two dogs allowed in the café and one was actually given sausages to eat from a plate that I assume would later be given to a person to eat off. Allowing dogs into a café I find absolutely disgusting, why a dog owner can not leave their dog at home for the duration of a meal is beyond me. This is going to sound like sour grapes but the Sunday roast only just managed to be bland, but the real issue is allowing animals in the café. as far as I am concerned they may as well have left the front doors open and invited the sheep and horses in.

Went for Sunday lunch again. Superb food ,beautifully cooked ,and as much as u can eat Staff are brilliant , always so friendly. Will be going there again

Anyone who puts a decent roast pork with crackling to die for, on their Sunday Roast selection, gets my vote!! And cauliflower cheese!! Simply a lovely place to visit en route to the Moors. Firmly becoming a family favourite.

I first feel sorry for this diner as surrounding this diner is wonderful local organic produce vegetables and meat from farms, Butchers and deli’s yet they struggle to keep buying from the cash-and-carry!

Been to the Diner a number of times during the week and meals are not too bad but today I took my two Granddaughters for a Carvery which was terrible especially my Granddaughters they both had the Beef which was red in the middle and very fatty they couldn’t even cut it so only ate the veg my Pork was ok but the crackling was hard to chew, another thing is they should do a half portion which most restaurants cater for now they are behind with the times on that one I think £11 is expensive for customers to pay as most of them are elderly, the toilets are dirty as well will be giving it a miss for a while as not good value for money

The staff were very attentive and the diner was a comfortable place to be in and offered fair priced food. What let it down was the food and time waiting for it. I chose a hot Cajun chicken panini and my mum chose an egg and bacon sandwich. To be fair she did enjoy her meal but mine was awful. I like my spicy food but all I could taste was chilli, everything else in the ingredients didn't stand a chance for taste. This is clearly a situation where the cook isn't tasting his/her own food before sending it out to the customers or their taste buds aren't working probably.

We stopped here for a light bite and a cuppa,having not been here for about 2 years.We were not greeted with a smile.There was a cone out informing us that cleaning was in progress and thanking people for their co-operation and to not use that area.On seeing this sign we went to the other end of the Diner,then customers coming in after us were taken to a table on the other side? We had almost finished our light bite by the time we finally received our drinks(this was due to the waitress sitting down at a customers table,clearly her friends, talking to them)meanwhile our drinks(hot?)had been on the counter for over 5 minutes.The very hot water sign in the toilets sink should say scolding hot water(it was ridiculous).The toilets like the Diner was not clean.The waitresses seem to think that one tea towel can do all jobs- wipe the trays,wipe their hands,wipe the edges of cups from the froth spilling over the edge of the mugs,wipe the taps on coffee machine,wipe the counter top,wipe cups and saucers before placing on trays(really ?-cross contamination).One waitress was seen scratching her head over a glass while she was preparing a banana milkshake and just continued preparing the drink.The staffs uniforms were not clean either.Needless to say we will not be going back.

Went in last week with friends. 2 members of staff arguing, swearing and fronting up to each other in full view of customers. Glad there were no young children and will not be returning

Stopped for a quick pit stop pre meetings whilst in the Dartmoor area. Went into the Dartmoor Diner for lunch. Really nice atmosphere and good service. Food choices superb including main meals. I had a Jacket with Pulled Pork, homemade and lovely. Would highly recommend

The Dartmoor Diner is situated on the main road between Yelverton and Plymouth, it offers views out across the Dartmoor national park from both the 1st and 2nd storey. We attend on a Sunday as we had heard from a few locals that the Sunday Carvery was excellent, the locals were not wrong! The carvery is priced at 11.25 pounds and gives you the option to choose 2 of the 3 meat options (Roast Turkey and stuffing, Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding, Roast Pork and Crackling). You then you select your own vegetables (Roast potato, Roast parsnip, Peas, Carrots, Cauliflower bake, mashed potato) as well as many condiments including Gravy, Cranberry sauce, Apple sauce, mustards varieties. The food was all fantastic but the pick for us was the Roast Turkey and Stuffing (sage and onion), Tthe turkey was very moist and the stuffing really light. Compliments go to all the staff wo were friendly and helpful, it was very easy to see why this was so popular with the locals. I highly recommend this to anyone passing through the area.

I had a lovely experience whilst being served at the diner! And the waitress (or maybe the waiter) forgot our teas so our order was on the house :D

We went here after a post Xmas day birthday walk for coffee and cake. It wasn't busy so we were quick to be seated and the order for coffee and cake taken x 4. Cake cane over and 2 forks for 4 of us, did ask for another set but nothing arrived. Coffee turned up after the cake with no milk, but some for the tea. We again asked for some but nothing turned up. I went to pay and the gent just ignored me and collected cups. Did turn out to be £25!!! Wasn't worth it and won't bother again.

Had a very nice Birthday Brunch at the Dartmoor Diner, unfortunately when I ordered Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino it was made by someone who clearly had no idea how to operate a Barista machine as the milk was boiled. Whilst the food was good it was marred by the poor making of the drinks.

After having driven past here a number of times we decided to give it a go, we were quite disappointed. The place has a very old feel to it but not in a good way, we were going to get up and go after being seated, squeezing through the very small gaps between tables, but we persevered. The service was poor, we had to summon staff over waving hands, we both had breakfast which was of average quality but was quite expensive for what you got, it was overall not a great experience and we would not go again.

Small restaurant but lovely home cooked food. Gets quite busy (even in winter) so would be wise to book.

My 7 year old granddaughter suggest we go for Sunday roast, her favourite meal. It was a little difficult trying to carry a full plated dinner back upstairs to our table, but there was a good selection of meats and vegetable choices. However, the roast potatoes were extremely salty and the roasted baby parsnips were way too peppery, which was disappointing. The counter staff and waitress were very helpful especially to our granddaughter, but overall it was quite cramped and a rather mixed dining experience, although I got the impression there were a lot of ‘regulars’

Sat upstairs as there was a group of us, lacked atmosphere, over priced, slow service. I didn’t have a drink as I didn’t feel comfortable there. This isn’t the first time I visited but will be the last as both times I felt the. SMe. Good parking though.

This is a place where we go regularly and the food is lovely. Service is always excellent and the personal touches are just lovely. Love the food there and i have never been disappointed. Sincere thanks to all the staff who are just brilliant. Lovely food and lovely experience. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you all. Excellent food and service

Had several meals in the Dartmoor Diner. Good service, generous well-cooked portions slightly over-priced in my opinion, but it does not stop me going in there.

Visited yesterday and the food was okay.

The Roast was lovely. We will definitely go ahead. Hot, tasty and great choice of meat as well as vegetables.

This is a great place to eat set on the edge of Dartmoor the food is fantastic and the staff friendly and very efficient, on our frequent visits the service and food always keep the same high standard (definitely a must place to eat )

Stopped for cuppa . Was going to have cream tea but had ran out . But all cakes looked amazing. All food looked amazing to . Wish we was local . Unfortunately dont think be passing again . Did hear someone ring and book table . Must be popular

Nice roadside place on the way to Yelverton. Has outside seating and road noise. The choices on the menu looked good. When the food came it wasn't presented on the plate very well but tasted very nice and the lattes we ordered were very good. Staff were very pleasant.

Sunday lunch amazing as always fresh hot certainly can't fault it just as your mother would cook. Friendly staff and quick service.

I have been here a few times in the past but I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the food today. Although we only had jacket potatoes all three of them had burnt potatoes on the plates, it wasn’t just burnt on the outside but on the inside too. Whilst waiting for our food a man came to the door with German shepherd, one of the waitresses petted the dog, tried to encourage the dog to go towards the kitchen obviously to greet one of the chefs, the waitress didn’t wash her hands after petting the dog she just went straight back to her jobs. Kinda put me off eating there if I was honest

This place is amazing; how they can consistently serve such excellent food is beyond me. We have been here several times and the most recent visit last week was no exception. The food is tasty, extremely hot and fantastic value for money.

Very friendly accommodating hard working staff! Always busy during the week and weekends (which is a very good sign) so i recommend you book when possible as you wouldn’t want to miss out tho i was lucky as the staff tried their hardest and managed to kindly squeeze me in☺️! the food is to die for, i actually want to work my way through the whole menu! Proper hearty home cooking Best to go on an empty stomach as you will be full from head to toe and you dont want to miss out on all the tempting yummy desserts will definitely keep returning!!

Atmosphere hot and crowded and smelt too much of food! Our two meals nothing special, typical basic 'English' grub that obviously appeals to a certain generation! Service good and prompt

Tried the Dartmoor Diner again after staying away for a long time due to lots of bad issues. It's still bad!! They've changed the menu and reduced the selection. I rang ahead and asked what roast meal was being offered last Saturday and I was told it was roast lamb and roast turkey. Lovely, so I booked a table for 4 at 12.30. We arrived, sat down and immediately the roast turkey was wiped off the board. It wasn't busy at all so I can't believe they'd sold out that quickly, it was probably the day before's food. I don't like lamb so I chose gammon. Yuck, really thin, dry as a bone, really overcooked and tough, and sooo salty, cold soggy peas and wet chips. Another family member had this too and theirs was exactly the same. I ate some and then told the waitress it was bad. She just mouthed 'sorry bout that' and took the plates away. That was it. We won't be giving them a third chance, the staff have changed but the food's gone right down hill now!! Back to The Rock!!

The service here is great and the waitress who served us couldn’t be more helpful. However the food was mediocre and I’ve probably had better in Morrisons supermarket cafe. We came for breakfast and the choice was fairly limited. Part of my order was missing initially and only arrived once I’d started. It’s a convenient location and service is great but the food is nothing to write home about.

This is offering basic, food. Reasonable cafe. It’s like so many places is not a place you want to go if you want peace and quiet. The radio is always too loud. Not a place you want to relax and spend time and money.

My wife and I were out for a drive. We use to visit here quite regularly with my wife's sister and husband.

Stopped here on the way back from Tavistock. It was very busy and we had not booked but the young lady who dealt with us was very polite and gave us a table when one became free shortly after we arrived. The menu has a good choice and is reasonably priced. The waitress assisted again when the table we were allocated was not suitable for my wife and she re-allocated us. All in all it was a good meal in an excellent setting.

We went for a walk on the moor and have previously been to the diner for a cuppa. The weather turned and got caught in a heavy hail storm. We had our 9 month old baby with us and he was getting cold and wet so we ran to the diner to be turned away as they were fully booked. Three tables left in the time we were stood waiting and there where a further 2 tables that were empty and still had the mess from previous customers. The man who I’m assuming was the manager was really rude and tutted several times at me because I was stood waiting. We turned to leave and I said to my partner I’ll grab us a take away tea. Went back in to ask and the same man was again very rude and told me ‘Wait!’
