The Floating Bridge Inn in South Hams

Good food at a reasonable price

Fantastic meal,service was spot on and very good value for money.

Great place staff brilliant food awesome

Lovely service. Food was good. Nice spot near the water. Good dessert selection.

Visited over the years still the same excellent food and service

Great place to chill and watch the ferry and boats

We visited on a Friday evening as a group of five, and the manager was great, really friendly, making you feel relaxed and welcomed. Most of us chose burgers or veggie burgers, while one had a gammon steak. For dessert, we had banoffee pie, morello cherry tart, white chocolate rocky road, and lemon meringue pie. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious. Food served all day - hard to find in Dartmouth on a weekday 😜 Lovely atmosphere great views.

Love this pub, great food, great beer, dog friendly, effervescent bar manager! (He told Me to say that, whilst waiting for his James Bond call up)

I was nicely surprised to have a wonderful Sunday roast here. The food was excellent today. I've avoided the floating bridge for a few years as two previous meals had been awful. As everywhere else in Dartmouth was booked we changed going back. And we were pleased we had. We did find their prices for a roast dinner was dearer at £19 than (sportsman 15.50 and George & dragon £14) we couldn't fault the meal

Lovely pub with good food and great service.

Lovely fish and chips, good service, not a long wait. Staff were friendly, and polite. Slightly out of town, but a nice walk to the pub

Had the mixed grill all was brilliant except the fillet stake, tough would be an understatement.

5 stars great good great staff Fantastic The 25oz mix grill feast wow!!! These guys smashed it with this! Desserts 🍨 one of the best! Worth every penny!

A gem of a place in Dartmouth, friendly staff, large meals, great selection on beer and food, give it a try if you are in Dartmouth.

Had lunch at the Floating bridge today. Amazing. I had fresh Torbay sole which was cooked perfectly my wife had fish pie which she said was better than hers so that’s a real compliment. Top food and service. Thank you

Great pub, great food, great staff, can't say anymore, been 4 times this last week!

Weatherspoon's mixed grill for 29 quid

Fab pub, great location and lovely to sit outside on the upstairs terrace

Good food in traditional setting.

Fabulous proper pub food and sea shanty vibe. Children welcome.

Nice pub. Friendly, knowledgeable and cheerful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Table booking recommended. Beer selection was good, went for some local real ale, tasted well kept. My friends who I went with seemed to enjoy their drinks. Selection of alcohol free drinks. I had a steak and kidney pie for the first time in about 10 years and it had a great flavour and well cooked. Definitely a good place for food and drinks. Right next to the dart estuary, 3 minutes walk from Dartmouth centre. Right next to the higher ferry.

Lovely pub, food was delicious and plentiful and the host was second to none. Shame I live in London and was only here for a short break or I'd make this my regular haunt!

A return visit after being very impressed with our meal here last year when we had the most amazing burgers. Unfortunately this year they didn’t live up to expectations and were not as nice as they used to be, everything was good it was just the burger patty itself which was a lot smaller and quality was nowhere near as good. When I ordered there were slight alterations to 4 out of 5 of the meals and the man taking the order made a bit of a sarcastic comment about it, but its not through choice it’s because of allergies/intolerances so not something we can help and it did make me feel even more embarrassed than I already feel when having to order food with specific requests. When the burgers arrived two of them were completely wrong and they had to change them, so in the end we didn’t really eat at the same time. It was still an okay meal but not a patch on last year and might not be enough to make us return when we are next in Dartmouth. Shame as it’s a nice view from the rooftop.

Best meal we had in Devon. Staff were all friendly. Great choices on the menu. Food came out quickly. Everything was delicious and well presented. You could tell this was homecooked. Great to have a chicken burger with proper chicken breast rather than a breaded burger. Very generous portions and good value for money.

Great little find the food was lovely but what really made it was the staff... really great and really nice to see someone who enjoys their job....

Was hoping to eat here, which we had done so done in previous years. However it has gone expensive for what you get and compared to other similar places in dartmouth. We had a drink,which again was expensive in comparison, and the member of staff wasn't welcoming, just seemed to want to take our money. Shame it hasn't kept the high standards and good value that we experienced just a few years ago.

Friendly staff and really good food.

A very old pub with modern cuisine. I had a very fresh and delicious dressed crab. The traditional steak and kidney pie was also good. Service was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the ambiance, the food and had a nice evening in quite a special location

Delicious scallops for £13 on the specials menu - wonderful views 🌊 and the sav Blanc was delicious 🤤 only downside is - no drinks order taken by the bar staff on the rooftop and the tables were not cleared.

Very good, great service, excellent food

We had dinner at this pub after reading other customers' reviews. I confirm everything written. Very nice environment, extremely clean bathrooms and tables too. Excellent food, we ate everything with gusto. We will definitely return. Very friendly and nice staff

Friendly staff,great service, the food was exceptional,thoroughly enjoyed the meal thankyou,and the beer was first rate-Sharpes Sea Fury,and there are dog friendly areas.

Lovely cottage style gardens, great sea views

Excellent service and food will return

Just stopped for a drink, and the selection of drinks was good, as was the quality. Service was quick and pleasant ☺️ and the upper terrace is a lovely place to rest and appreciate the river views. 😀

Fabulous hospitality, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and made to feel so welcome, highly recommended .

Great place to sit on the terrace and watch the world, the boats and steam trains go by, good food and beer, friendly and welcoming staff, perfect access to the ferry and start point to explore the rest of Dartmouth, and dog friendly 👍🐶🍻

Great food and welcoming host, will be back

On the last day of our holiday we decided to eat here. We’d called in 2 day’s previous to book a table. We asked to be seated in the bar area but we were told you could’nt reserve a table in there, so they booked us a table in the restaurant but if there was a table available in the bar when we arrived we could sit there. On arrival we went to get drinks from the bar and I noticed there was a table with a reserved’ sign on it. I questioned the gentleman behind the bar and he said it was reserved for a regular’ and I replied ‘so it’s one rule for the locals and another for the tourists’ to which he replied ‘yes madam that is the case’. As you can imagine I wasn’t a happy bunny. We both had a ploughman’s lunch which couldn’t be faulted. We love the pub and it’s situation but weren’t happy with their customer ethic.

Nice and friendly and good food.

Very slow and poor unprofessional service. But food very good.

Beautiful setting on the river with amazing views. We had lunch with friends. The veggi burger was amazing and the tastiest we have had. A must visit when visiting. Dartmouth.

Good place for pub grub, have specials to compliment the standard menu. Prices are fair. Mussels are nice here as are the traditional fish and chips

Holidaymakers beware! This establishment doesn’t need your custom. I was unable to book a table for 6 on the Friday night in the dog friendly restaurant, so imagine my delight when we could get the time and dog friendly restaurant on the Saturday night.! Only to be turned away because we had a dog! I tried to explain that we booked the dog friendly option, but got point blank refusal by the staff/owner. Place was buzzing so he didn’t care if he upset or offended us and wasn’t helpful at all. We were left without a reservation in a busy town on a Saturday night. Thanks!

We booked the dog friendly restaurant online for a group of 6 on a busy Saturday evening. When we arrived we were told they couldn’t take dogs, we showed the less than interested host our booking and got a shrug of the shoulders and a remark about putting it in the comments. Not sure what he meant but left as the food looked pretty shocking anyway. Everything deep-fried to death by th look of it.

Only drinks on the upper Terrace beautiful views over the River Dart

Walked in for lunch and they have Otter on tap, couldn’t be happier. Ordered the double rump which arrived quickly and cooked perfectly (rare). Nice to see a steak that’s a good inch thick after cooking. Reason I took away a star was although it was cooked perfectly and was very tender, it had no taste. It had no seasoning at all which let it down. Shame really PS - best pub peas I’ve had in a long time, I know it’s a small point but it’s nice not to get bullets attempting to imitate petit pois.

Half an hour waited for order to be taken, this only happened when we asked staff, can you take order, he was taking order from opposite table who arrived after us !!!!

Absolutely epic meal, we dived into the specials and we weren't disappointed!!! 😁😋 Very popular place, so worth booking ahead.

Great place to eat. Varied main menu and lots of specials available too. Service is excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

I would highly recommend The floating bridge. The food is really wonderful & plenty of it. We sat on the roof terrace which has beautiful views also staff are professional and very helpful 👍🏼

Booked for lunch in early May.. outside sun terrace wasn't open.. shame the view is fab. Ordered from the very extensive specials menu in the pub.. lots of choice. We had the steak and kidney pie with veg Inc new potatoes ( lots of them) and the monkfish with skinny fries and a fab salad.. tartar sauce and sweet chilli sauce Inc.. gorgeous 😋 .. hope to visit again soon

Nice place with great views across the Dart. Food was good.

Good Pub. But it's a shame that they don't Wi-Fi .

Lovely Sunday lunch today. Great service too. Recommended.

Great food freshly prepared; great service and fair prices. Great meal out!

Nice view, food was OK. A bit cold as the door didn't shut properly and it was still March.

Family run pub, lovely food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to go again. They also let dogs in which is excellent

Great food lovely old pub on the river Dart

You've seen TopGun Maverick? Of course you have. If you're a Brit, you may have wondered if there is an equivalent bar to the one in the film here in Blighty. Well I can't really speak for Wafus but this is it, a pub that without exception every Royal Navy officer has regarded as their own since they started letting cadets from Brittania Royal Naval College ashore for the evening. Don't get me wrong, this is a great pub for everyone, it's modern and has moved with the times, but it's so reassuring to see some photos of ships that were on the wall when I was that callow naval youth. I've had many memorable nights here, but the greatest was when the future King of Tonga paid for an open bar for everyone in the pub to celebrate his divorce! You'll have to pay for yourself when you visit, but you'll be drinking in the presence of genuine national heroes and legends. As for me, it was good to be back in the "Floaters".

Very friendly service enjoyed a wine looking over the river.

Great family Business, Customer Service at its Best and The Food well 👌 Just Fantastic, Fresh WITH Great portion size 😀

This is a really nice Pub/restaurant, the food we had wad great and the staff very friendly and helpful, we were so impressed we ate here 2 days in a row and when we come back in April we will definitely want to eat here again.

Great place to visit 1st class experience

Separate Restaurant/ Bar area. Good local beer. Dog friendly

Had dinner with friends, nice menu service and food very acomodation staff very allergy aware

Just had Sunday lunch, superb. In Dartmouth for the week, third meal at the Floating Bride, service, ambience and food all excellent. Highly recommend.

Nice spot for a drink and bite to eat on the rooftop terrace overlooking the harbour. Not a main tourist spot so not too busy when we went for a midweek lunch. Food off the specials board was pleasant if not a little underwhelming considering the modest prices. Drinks selection was OK. Not much charm or character to the pub overall. Wouldn't rush back

Booked a table in the restaurant as not allowed to book for the bar! We're sent to our seat in the restaurant expecting someone to come for our order. Sat for a while unable to chat as the football commentary on the radio in the kitchen was so loud. Eventually I went into the bar to get some drinks, still no food order. My wife then went to the bar and was almost laughed at in asking for someone to take our order. We wondered about leaving in disgust but we still wanted something to eat. The specials board looked good but we felt undervalued as a customer so ordered a cheaper option. Eventually we saw a table in the bar which we moved to. We opted for fish and chips, which were good and the young lady who served us was very pleasant. (She must have been on the good service course!!)

We had evening meal, food excellent. Plenty to choose from, and good beer and cider.

Fabulous meal with very friendly staff. Service was really quick, but we wouldn't have minded if it had taken longer. There was a lovely relaxed feeling with great music in the background that didn't deafen you. The food was fantastic, especially the steak, cooked just as I like it. There is a display of puddings to make your mouth water, the chocolate fudge cake was the perfect end to the meal. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed herself too, she was made very welcome and loved the treats she was given. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful food, great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to others. Service from staff was great.

Great place to eat in Dartmouth

Fabulous fish & chips, massive portion Lovely seating area next to the river

Had a great lunch comprising mussells and chips

Great pub, good food and very friendly.

Fish and chips were better than the local fish and chip shop!

Really good terrace with lovely views

Had a lovely meal here with the family.service very good food well priced Would recommend

Loved the service, very helpful and welcoming. Beautiful location even on a rainy day.

We had a little lunch trip to Dartmouth and decided to go to The Floating Bridge for some lunch, I had “The Whole Hog” burger which come with fries and coleslaw. I must say this is the BEST burger I have ever eaten, I would recommend this pub for all people visiting South Devon and I will be returning in the future!

A lovely pub with a cracking view from the large dining terrace looking over Dartmouth and towards Kingswear. The food was really good - classic pub fare but made really well with v. quick service. We had the sandwiches (huge) and a children's meal. All excellent. Visit if you are in the area!

Great food, huge portions, friendly and good real ales.

Nous avons commandé des soles en plat du jour à plus de 26 £. Ce plat était très décevant, comme si le poisson n'avait pas été frais. Dommage.

Holidaying in the area and stopped in on the off chance, was greeted by such warm welcoming staff, so much so we went back three days in a row. Food is incredible, service spot on and a special mention for the head of front of house…. Charming, good banter and impeccable service, really knows how to run the place! Was amazing with our two young girls, made all the difference when dining out with youngens. Definitely recommend to all! Big thanks to the team. Thanks mucker!!!!

Great pub with great food, right next to the Dartmouth marina! Great service and lovely staff! Great selection of drinks and a bar area as well as a dining area! Will definitely go back!

Very friendly helpful staff fabulous food great cider 🤪

What a lovely pub! Went for lunch on a Tuesday and it was absolutely fantastic. Four of us ate, and four of us loved our meals. No room for pudding, so we have brought ours home for this evening! Very friendly staff, and nice place to be in. Thoroughly recommend it, and well worth the short walk out of the tourist part of Dartmouth.

Excellent fish and chips that come in generous portions. Very sociable staff. Plum crumble and the ginger foam tort are a wonderful experience.

Popped in for a drink, and it was lovely sitting on the roof terrace watching the world go by, along with views of the Higher Ferry. Friendly and helpful staff and, although we didn't eat, the food served to other customers looked good.

Came here for an evening meal while staying in the harbour. It is a lovely location overlooking the harbour. You can sit outside and eat happily. The food and drink is fairly standard pub grub, but it has some nice specials, if more expensive. We shared a starter between 3 and then had fish + scampi and chips plus a Dover sole and veg with side salad and 2 rounds of beers. It was good quality throughout and service. Total cost came to £75 for 3.

Roof terrace beautiful place to sit and watch river life peacefully 😌

Staff very nice and food fabulous, hopefully we will return. Beautiful roof terrace and amazing food, thank you.

Lovely lunch. Very reasonably priced.

Wonderful location overlooking the Dart ferry. Great food and service.

Ideally placed overlooking the River Dart & Kingswear. Its roof terrace is a wonderful sun trap with stunning views. Friendly staff and great value food & drink for such a location. Highly recommend.

Called in for a drink, nice cosy facility, menu looked good with good variety, staff very friendly 👍

Best value pub restaurant in Dartmouth? Great ales and sea food dishes. Just by the upper ferry. Always a joy to visit from Birmingham.
