The Dock in Torbay

Nice food and service friendly staff

The worst coffee ive ever had. So bitter and certainly not worth £3.95!@

Awful coffee and well over priced.

The food was excellent, and the staff was friendly.

Been coming here since The Dock first opened and have always rated it! I’m a local to Torquay but live in Bristol now and I always come back for the fish finger sandwiches. If we’re not coming for lunch, we’re here for the lovely coffee and homemade cake. Customer service is fab, food is always hot, delicious and fresh. Lovely seating outside and top cocktails!

Went for the sausage &bacon bap, with a cheeky hash brown sneaked in. Food came on a HOT plate, and was excellent value for money. Well worth a 5 star rating in chilled out surroundings, a friendly atmosphere and a sense of humour chucked in.

A fantastic dining experience all around. Wonderful staff and easily one of the best meals I can recall having in my life.

The most amazing steak and eggs, cooked to perfection. I'm so glad we declined the breakfast at the Premier Inn. The coffee was lovely and the staff were polite and efficient. There was a bit of a wait for food but it was SO worth it when it arrived.

Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, although not clearly labelled

We visited The Dock whilst we were on a four day visit to Torquay. We initially decided to visit (Saturday 24th August) as they served Devon Rock and Madgull lager, which are my husband's favourite, but we decided to have dinner too and it was a great decision. The service was amazing despite them being busy. We ordered a burger, loaded fries, salad and a nicoise salad with seabass. Our experience was so good that we visited again two days later. On this visit we had crab linguine, tomato pasta and a chicken burger. The food other guests were ordering including lobster looked and smelt amazing too. Everything we ordered on both visits was delicious and very reasonable priced. I'd strongly recommend visiting.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, staff were all amazing, fabulous location on the harbour side, highly recommended, definitely worth booking. Fantastic drinks especially Devon Rock and MadGull on tap.

Nice place with brilliant food and great customer service 👌

We were here lunchtime as a party of 7. We had a superb lunch. Service was good. It made a difficult day easier to deal with

Popped in for a quick coffee Fast service No issues Clean and tidy

DOG FRIENDLY - Really friendly and helpful staff, great food and very reasonable prices, great atmosphere (cracking playlist).

The food was out of this world. The man behind the bar and serving was friendly and efficient. I had a cocktail which was made to perfection 👌 Would go time and time again.

They were able to accommodate a walk in even though we had a large party. Opted for the home made fish finger sandwich and it was huge and delicious. Service was great too and located right next to the marina.

Lovely busy place to eat, cozy atmosphere with amazing view and family friendly. The staff is also friendly and helpful. A bit pricey but it's understandable as all Seafood was freshly caught on the day and cooked really deliciously. We enjoyed our lunch today at Torquay. Thank you. The Docks totally recommended 🫶🏼

Stopped by for a caramel iced latte, turned out to be the best I’ve had and ended up getting a second one, the girls Nakara and Sabre were fantastic, super welcoming and great customer service. Highly recommended

Came to Torquay for the first time and came here what a pleasant surprise, perfect scenery lovely atmosphere and the service and food was unreal not to mention the cocktails ask for the proper Long Island ice tea if you’re looking to get a bit tipsy! Would highly recommend to food lovers you will not be disappointed!

We ordered a Seafood sharer. It costs around 20 pounds. The menu said it should contain king prawns, sorts of fishes and fried squids. It turned out 90% of the plate are only fishes, with some squids, but no king prawns. When we reflected this to the waiter, he refused our request to give us back the king prawns, only saying that the cooker remembered he had put it on the plate. Very disappointed. For a plate costs 20 pounds but only have fishes and some tasteless squids, it is absolutely a rip-off! Unreasonable price and terrible service. Dishonest shop. Avoid!

Lovely place to eat- we had main meals and desserts, everything was delicious. Fantastic cream teas. Great staff and customer service.

Wonderful dog friendly restaurant (same owners as Saltwater who recommended The Dock). We came looking for Lobster and we were not disappointed. Chef very kindly deboned my lobster for me. We also had catch of the day which was Seabass. Both served with gorgeous salads and chips. Incredibly good value for fresh seafood. Lobster was so fresh it was sweet and full flavour. Highly recommend.

Been here a few times during my annual two weeks in Torquay. For me this is the best bar in the harbourside. For someone like me (slightly autistic and travelling alone) some bars can be intimidating, but here they have the “vibe” exactly right for me. Friendly and welcoming staff, good food reasonably priced, and a nice atmosphere. They serve a nice pint of Devon Rock too! Tonight they had a live singer as well, he was very good and I’ve really enjoyed the evening as the sun went down over the harbour. I’ll certainly be back next time I’m down here.

Having visited last year and had a lovely meal, we decided to drop by again. The steaks we had were the best we had tasted in a long time. Cooked to perfection with homemade onion rings, mushroom and parmesan and lovely chunky chips. The icing on the cake was a warm blue cheese sauce, which was delicious! I thoroughly recommend The Dock and will make a bee-line for this place when we come back next year! Thank you 😊

Fabulous food, great service, watching the world go by.Will definitely come back. Thank you very much for a wonderful afternoon

Dave Thomas playing guitar, the best of the night. The end. The service was sooooo slow, one hour seating in the table without ask for drinks. The lobster we ordered was so small and no flavor seafood, it was like plastic. No tools for break the lobster hood, use the knife and fork to hammer like a woodpeeker. I don’t recommend dinner here

Visited during the afternoon and had a cream tea. Scone was warm, fruity and soft. The Earl Grey tea was loose leaf in an individual teapot and full of flavour - so much better than a teabag. In fact everything was so good, we went back for dinner that evening. I had the beef burger with cheese and skin on chips, hubby had the double beef burger with brisket. Both were fantastic and the homemade coleslaw very tasty. Service was excellent and there is a great view over the marina too.

When you walk by this place it looks more like a bar for drinks and quite casual, but the food was really very good! Had a very nice halloumi burger

The tapas selection of food is excellent the drinks are good & the waitress was attentive, will we back when next time in the area

What an amazing cream tea as always. I have been coming here over the last 30 years when we are on holiday. The staff are very friendly and always have a smile. Food is great quality. W Can’t wait for our next visit

I'm a regular, so a little biased.

We went here last year. This is in Torquay and it has great background music. Good service and good music and atmosphere too. Give it a try.

Amazing cocktails at this great bar and bistro. One of the best espresso martini’s I’ve ever had. Plus very friendly and attentive staff. Been coming every day whilst visiting due to the location, staff and great cocktails. Definitely worth a visit whilst visiting Torquay.

Stopped here for a snack with 7 of us, which was no problem. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was great and delicious . Price's we're about average for the area which was overlooking the harbour.

Great restaurant, top menu and service

We visited twice over a weekend away once for dinner & again for breakfast as we’d had such a nice meal there. We had the catch of the day which was hake & the nicest dinner I’d had out in a long time. The potato cake & veg went with it so well. Others had the surf & turf which they enjoyed too. For breakfast we opted for the breakfast burrito & mcmuffin equivalent which were equally as nice. The dinner wasn’t cheap at £50 each with cocktails but we were celebrating a birthday

We popped in for some scones and gosh they were absolutely devine!!! You wouldn't expect it but sooooooo good! Best scones we've had till date! ( I would love thr recipe tbh)

A typical rockfish, good variety of catch of the day, good service, nit as good as the weymouth restaurant but that might have been the choice, the halibut was delicious and the misto fito was disappointing due to it being fried in rice flour making it very dry and tasteless, which is a great shame. Would still go again as it was possibly the choice that let it down

Stayed down Torquay for the bank holiday weekend visited three different breakfast places this was by far the best the service was the friendly the food was outstanding highly recommended

Nice place with dock view Good food. Burgers were delicious

Great food and drinks, wonderful staff.

Wonderful place with a nice rustic atmosphere and polite and helpful staff. Food was delicious and worth the price. Definitely would come again!

Love this place very friendly staff and food are great

Had a lovely meal, with lovely friendly staff, definitely worth it!!!!

I daydream about the Brisket Croquettes from The Dock. When I first heard croquettes, I was picturing lil potato tots with a bit of brisket on top. We received two scotch-egg-sized balls of AMBROSIA. Mind melting BBQ brisket, coated in seasoned crumbs of pure deliciousness, fried (but not greasy), served with a pot of sour cream. Did I mention that it’s filled with mozzarella!? Brisket is leaving a lot of local seasonal menus, and I’m worried. I know that I will bawl on the day that those beauties leave. Please, Chefs & Owners, I’m an autistic girlie with limited food options. Please see this as an accommodation, and never remove them from the menu. Thank you for your service 🙏 Highlights: - Great Cocktails and Tapas - Ideally Located & Loved by Locals - Casual Atmosphere & Dog friendly - BRISKET CROQUETTES

Just get into the Dock and you will love it.

Fully recommend the Doc for breakfast lunch or dinner fantastic vibe great live music in the summer. Just a fantastic attitude love just chilling with a coffee services. Amazing staff actually care the venue has had refurbishment which really shows and is in great order. Fully recommend it Food and drink is great

Welcoming place. Lovely choice of drinks and the beef brisket nachos were fabulous

Lovely coffee one of my favourites for coffee in Torquay especially with a piece of cake.

Myself and 5 friends booked to eat here on a wet and windy Saturday night. All of us are certified carnivores and booked here specifically as they had a range of steaks on the menu. We were disappointed to then be told that they only had one left and that we would have to order something else. Having said that, everything we did order was delicious.

Really nice food and wonderful staff.

Love the ambience of this place. The service was second to none, pleasant staff and great value good food.

very good food polite staff cant knock it 5 star

5 stars for the super friendly staff, being dog friendly and cooking the bacon in my burger super crispy as requested!

Visited this morning 21-01-2024 for breakfast. My husband had the full breakfast and I had the veggie breakfast. Mine was one of the best veggie breakfasts I’ve had. Always a winner for me when it’s a vegetable sausage and not fake meat. The coffee was also excellent. Our spaniel enjoyed his sausage and dog treats. Highly recommend. Thank you

Excellent food and service by friendly staff. Dog friendly.

I always visit this lovely cafe when I am staying in Torquay. Cosy cafe over looking the harbour. Food is always fresh and tasty. Lovely staff, Ashley is always so welcoming and friendly.

Went in for lunch. Nice venue, family-friendly, cozy ambience. Food was really good. The wait was unexpectedly long (>30mins), particularly as there was literally only two other tables occupied at the time. However, was worth the wait in the end.

Great selection of beers and ciders local and international. We had burgers and have to say they were the best ever, absolutely amazing and fully worth every penny. Delicious thanks guys keep up the great work 🤩

My party of three ordered breakfast, we didn’t mind the wait but when the food came one order was totally wrong, male staff guy went & fetched the printed order to prove it was what was ordered.NOT!!! The order was for another table so there was another wait for our third breakfast. We did get an apology from the male staff member & another from the girl that took our order. Not a big problem but the place was so cold we we all uncomfortable.

Lovely place to sit on the dock of...

Good food, friendly service, cold beer, including Devon Cove on tap, what more could you ask for ? We will be back, many thanks 😊

Had a wonderful light bite to eat at this excellent venue! Enjoyed a sumptuous selection of tapas dishes that were beautifully presented and tasted just as delicious! My personal favourite being the pork belly bites, which were washed down with a crisp pint of Devon Rock and finished with a perfectly prepared cappuccino. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, and we’ll be returning to sample the live music. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Eaten here a few times now because it is consistently great food and they offer small tapas size dishes if you want a small or large meal. The staff are great and always go the extra mile. One of our group has some food intolerances and they checked everything and there were great tastey options for them which is rare to find, plus the food we all had was delicious 😋 Chilled music, not too loud so you can have a good chat, and views over the marina! Highly recommend 👌

The food is very good, we had a wide range of tapas dishes. The service was excellent and we had a very enjoyable evening. Great location also.

Superb Christmas tapas and excellent service. A great choice for a light Christmas lunch. Will definitely return. A well deserved 5 star all round!!

Fabulous restaurant! Lovely food. Attentive staff. Comfy surroundings. Def recommend!

Best coffee in town by a long way 🤩

Fantastic bar in a prime location. Friendly, helpful staff with a lovely, chilled atmosphere during the week. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food & service. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We can not wait to come back again Highly recommended. We plan to try the breakfast as well next time.

Popped in today for lunch , we had a single burger with chips each, the burger was amazing and so tasty , lovely place and staff very friendly, wonderful service and great views of the harbour, will definitely recommend this place to visit 😀

What a gem of a place! Friendly smiley staff, food was beautiful and all fresh and tasty! Service was great ! Thank you we will be returning! 😁

Lovely food and cocktails, great atmosphere and to top it off staff were brilliant, friendly and very attentative. Well worth a visit if your in the area

Pretty good bar, nice beer and Tapas. Quick service too. Recommended Pale Ale 👍

Popped in whilst visiting Torquay for a weekend. We both had toasted sandwiches, I had a bacon lettuce and tomatoe, impressed with plenty of bacon a nice big slice of a beef tomato very nice bread too. Hubby had an equally good ham cheddar and Red Leicester again plentiful and both served with a tasty salad garnish. Fast and friendly service and impressed to see tables sprayed and cleaned after each sitting. Will deffo go back when in area

The best of European cafe culture in South Devon. Great place, location, menu, staff and toilets. All around a lovely spot overlooking the inner harbour. Comfortable seating and clean surrounds. Menu was good and service really helpful. A great spot to stop and people watch. Excellent

Four of us visited for a late lunch, friendly, smiling staff who were working hard and on the ball with service. We sat at a table with a great view of the harbour and all enjoyed our meals and drinks. Very good fish finger sandwiches, lovely bread and a very tasty side salad, also blt sandwich and a burger great too. We will return.

Very nice food and lovely coffee, will certainly return when in torquay.

First visited this pub in October 2022, then called Lulu's, not long after the current management had taken over. It was a bit shabby but very welcoming. Visited again this year to find the pub has been re-branded as The Dock. This place has been transformed but has retained the staff ethic of good friendly service that goes a bit further than most similar venues. It is still a bit shabby chic but is also still obviously a work in progress. It is very dog friendly, which was a bonus for us. The pub now has quite an extensive menu. We did not eat here, but the food coming out of the kitchen looked very appetising. Would recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future. Give it try - the staff here deserve your support for the effort they are putting I to make this place a success.

We stopped in here for lunch, the theme of the bistro is very nice, it has a relaxed atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. We had a couple of Big Breakfasts which they accommodated after they had officially finished, a Devon Blue burger and the Devon Crab Tagliatelle and their loose leaf tea. The food came out in good time, nice hot and well presented. All dishes were of good sized portions and cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend here if you are in the area, we will be visiting again before heading home.

I honestly can not rate this venue highly enough the quality of food service and atmosphere is outstanding staff are wonderful food and drink amazing lovely atmosphere with fantastic views....

After a few hiccups the service was excellent, food great and lovely setting, cheers guys.

Holiday meal our 1st evening in Torquay and found this place to eat is near the marina. The staff were welcoming and friendly excellent service. You order food at the bar I had the pasta in tomato sauce added chicken breast and also comes with garlic flat bread. The food was delicious and portions were huge could of had pasta on its own. My partner had the burger with beef brisket and mozerella. The meat was melt in the mouth fries were crispy. My side sala was delicious and tasty with balsamic dressing. Food well worth the money. I had a cocktail Solero ice made properly recommend this place to anyone who is on holiday.

Very welcoming staff. Tasty food and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area.

Worth the trip to Torquay just to come here. Best tapas we’ve ever had. Brisket is very special.

Delicious meal, great service & lovely atmosphere.

Loved this place. Great staff and outdoor seating area. Best poached eggs on toast I have ever had. Highly recommend 👌

Fab staff, fab food, not too pricey, empty plates of our party all round. Bar service not waitress service FYI.

The Book Fairies were tired and hungry after attending the ABSea Murders as part of helping out at the Agatha Christie Festival, and we were also very late - but this place said they could squeeze us in - and we are so glad they did! The fish and chips (catch of the day) is incredible. Really fresh fish! The only negative is you will get some people coming in half cut if you go on a weekend evening.

Order tapas as a starter very nice. Went to order main and told chef gone home. really why not tell us when pre-booked that service would be terminated!! Very disappointing experience.

We had a great time dining here. The food is nice and the service fantastic

Can't believe this is the first time I've visited the Dock! Highly recommend this lovely place for food drink music and laughter, will be returning soon.

It is truly the best place for breakfast. The quality of the food, presentation, and service are exceptional. The rustic style interior design and atmosphere are very relaxing . Highly recommended 👌

Their happy vibes rubbed off on everyone. Staff are so smiley and happy. Food excellent on a busy Bank Holiday Sunday. Been here a couple of times with our 2 miniature schnauzers and always made so welcome. Perfect! Thank you xx

Service was rubbish as you had to go up to the bar to order but the lobster was amazing, the steaks were seasoned nicely, probably one of the best steaks I've had, don't bother with extra onion rings though, they were underseasoned. The camembert starter was amazing and didn't have that nasty bitter after taste like other I've tried, also the balsamic onions besides it was 10/10. Kids portion sizes were a bit of a joke. Half a toasty is not what i call a meal unless your child is under 3. Can't fault the place apart from the lack of table service, feels a bit odd when you buy lobster and you have to order at the bar but I am 100% coming back soon

We didn’t eat but the food coming out looked very appealing. We had cocktails, which were very good and we liked the vibe of The Dock. We sat outside watching the world go by right next to the quayside. We will definitely be visiting when we return to Torquay

Paid £16 for a full English breakfast and a pot of tea, outrageous prices considering I only got one egg and one sausage with my meal. Can easily get more food of better quality for less money AVOID!

We just had came off ferry from brixham felt a bit peckish so popped in here it’s a lovely wee place a lot to choose on the menu but we opted for 3 small Tapas Spanish crisp Cauliflower and Jalapeño Poppers and Potato’s Bravos very delicious it was washed down with a few beers Great views only downside for me is Toilets are up steep stairs you just got to be careful would go back to the dock 10/10

Evening drinks with family while here on our annual holiday in Torquay. Welcoming to families with children in a chilled out relaxed environment. Lovely staff. Beautiful place and the music is chill out tunes - so much so I had to ask the playlist as it was just so serene and beautiful!! The gin list is fabulous and I love the way the fruit is frozen !! Ace place as popular . Well done to this establishment it’s just such a lovely place :-)
