The Kent's in Torbay

The management offered a 'loyalty' scheme, buy 10 pints, get 1 free. Then without any notice renegaded on the deal. Many local people holding free drink cards were abandoned without any explanation! This is in the past few days. The management do not understand how much business this has cost them. Are they scammers, they broke an agreement!

Great food and excellent service - highly recommended 👌

A great place would recommend it every time if asked

First time in the kent ordered two large carverys Was expecting a good variety of veg, just didn't happen, also the portion size was absolutely terrible considering they charge £18. Honestly need to put more on the plate

Love this pub. Always friendly staff. Just as well as there is nothing else in the area.

Excellent service good grub even if we were on the edge of last orders for the kitchen... thanks for going the extra mile guys

Visited this place often during a holiday - staff were always courteous, locals were friendly and very accommodating to my two year old son. Ate there once- I had the burger with mushrooms and truffle which was very savoury (just as I like it). Highly recommend and I thank them for their hospitality.

A family friendly pub with great food and a jolly atmosphere. A fresh ever alternating menu keeps me going back weekly! Fantastic pub Quiz on a Sunday is a particular favourite of mine

We only had drinks on this occasion but will be returning to try the food . It looked tasty and a good selection of food and drinks x comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere

I've never eaten here but it's a nice friendly pub. Probably one of the most expensive pints in town but it's got a nice beer garden

Lovely meal at lunchtime. Small Plates menu is a real treat plus outstanding service. Will return 👍

Thank you so much food was bueatiful. We had tapas . For the both of us very nice on holiday in torquay. Just popped in glad we did highly recommend 😀

Walk past often but is nice for a quiet drink or food

Lovely friendly service but the food really did let the experience down. I had the roast dinner with Beef and Gammon. The potatoes were nice but the meat was not nice at all and the Yorkshire pudding was so dry and hard it was brittle. Veggies ok ISH. I'd try something else next time. Great to see Exeter Chiefs on the TV there. Toilets were good.

Worth a visit, excellent service. Thanks 👍

Great atmosphere. Young bartender is a legend

We visit this pub every time we visit Torquay & area. It is a very friendly establishment with a good atmosphere. Staff are welcoming & the food is good. The beer selection is also good. This is a must visit pub.

Great atmosphere. Good beer selection.

Nice little local pub, with lots of local characters. A quick lunch before exploring the caverns. The Pulled pork burger and thick hand cut chips really filled a spot. I had a jacket potato brie, beans and side salad. You get what you pay for in this cute little pub. Popped back in afterwards for dessert, my cracking Brulee and the Sticky toffee were a good choice.

Absolutely shocking....the most clique pub I've ever been in.....totally awful

Very good Christmas menu. Thanks.

It is to expensive and the food is not good

Great, busy pub. Well recommended.

I've been to this pub many of times I have had drinks have play their pub quiz and had a laugh.. however food I can't recommend as I don't like anything on their menu it's great if u like burgers chips etc. I prefer a pub to have a normal pub menu where everything don't come with chips and u get a choice... I've never seen the kents as of yet do a curry or a stew which would be nice now we are coming into winter. Just something a little different would be nice to see... A good pub for a quiz and polite staff always to serve drinks.

Really enjoyed the food and service.

Went for Sunday lunch. Lovely meal. Well cooked. Lovely meat & lovely choice of vegetables. Would definitely recommend! Thank you 😊

Nice pub, nice service, acceptable pizza that could have had a few more toppings.

Had a lovely drink and pizza here after visiting Kents cavern,

Love entertainment great service and a selection of beers ciders

Comfortable pub with a good range of beers. Nice garden area.

We're on holiday in Torquay for a week and had our first holiday evening meal here this evening. The pub is really lovley. Cosy decor and great atmosphere. Tables are well laid out so it doesn't feel too crowded even when it got busier. The food was excellent and goos value for money considering the quality. We enjoyed a truffle shuffle burger, mexican fiesta pizza, kids mac n cheese with fries which was all really tasty and well cooked. Then a bakewell tart, chocolate brownie (both served with amazing icecream!) and chocolate cherry creme brulee with homemade shortbread which were all delicious. The brulee was particularly good. But what really made it was the outstanding service from Adam. Polite, friendly, warm and welcoming. Just the right amount of pleasant conversation to make us feel comfortable but not encroached upon. Very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and happy to answer multiple questions from our talkative 13yo :). Service was quick (but not too quick) and our food was all piping hot when served . He was efficient and could see he was handling several tables but doing it all seemingly effortlessly! We were really impressed. Unknown to us, our son left a small toy behind when we left and they even called us to let us know they had found it and kept it safe for us to go and collect. We had a really enjoyable time here and will be returning for sure before we go home. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Service was rushed despite not being busy. Meant to eat there but ended up just having drinks as l object to pay nearly £20 for a burger and pretty much for fish and chips. Prices excessively high. Must be why we use to have to book to eat there but on the day of our visit there was only one table of 6 sitting for a meal.

Great friendly atmosphere, very dog friendly. Didn't find a beer that suited me.

The waiter I had was friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had pork steak with vegetables and was yummy. Would recommend to vist because it was well worth a visit .

I popped in with my family today after a long walk. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The food was superb. Very good for the price. I had the Hoisin Duck chips, daughter 1 had the ribeye steak, daughter 2 hed ceasar salad, and my partner had the Hoisin Duck pizza. All were more than pleased. Even took exesss foosld away in takeaway boxes. Just finished the pizza and was still tasty. I'm so glad we discovered The Kents and will my goto for food whenever in Torquay.

My first time I went with my best bud both had amazing time food 10oyt of 10

Excellent food and service.Thoroughly recommend.

Good beer. Good pub food. Excellent for watching sport.

Eaten here a couple of times, excellent burgers and Sunday roasts. Service levels very high, prices very reasonable

Nice pub with good selection of beers

Nice food, clean pub, helpful staff

Very good food , tasty and very good value for money . Service was very good with helpful , friendly staff .

Lovely pub, superb fish & chips, and friendly staff. Must remember not to leave 20 years (again) between visits.

Good pint, nice clean modern decor. Good atmosphere. Superb Sunday roast, absolutely spot on

Great atmosphere, good beer and food and excellent location. Highly recommend.

Stopped in to watch six nations game, loads of screens, great atmosphere staff were quick serving drinks

It was OK pretty fair pub bit outdated or retro if you want to call it

Very very expensive ,menu does not make sense on burgers .

Visit here a couple of times...quiet on a lunchtime buzzing at night....pleasant staff Always go when I'm staying close by.

We went at lunchtime food was lovely 😍 only slight criticism is it always feels cold sitting inside

Met up with my friend Sheila here yesterday evening for dinner and a drink. I had the Mussels and they were Lush. They have an offer on The Gin also. Buy a double and you get the mixer free. A big thank you to Tasha and Harry who were our waiters. You are both amazing. If going here, don't forget to book as it does get very busy 😊

A little bit pricey it has to be said especially when the clock tower pub down town can do the same tap lager for £2.50 cheaper but it has a lovely beer garden, entertainment and realy respectable staff. It's clean and tidy with a good food selection, this is the type of place you would take a works party or treat your partner to a meal with a selection of seating if you don't like been put on display or want a little privacy. Respect to the bald young chapp aswell (Harry) I think. Makes you feel very welcome, always cleaning tables when not busy at the bar. Worth every penny to that pub so I hope management if this is seen takes this into consideration. Catered for me and the Mrs with exceptional professionalism while still having character and personality. Will be here again for sure felt VERY welcome indeed

Christmas menu. Good food plenty of it. A bit Turkey heavy though. Didn't have it but not sure about Turkey pizza. Turkey burger was nice and baked cheese was lovely

Our local while we were in town for panto. Great bunch of people in there and the music nights were great. Thanks for looking after us!

Nice pub with a good atmosphere out the way of the usual torqauy night life

Looking forward to a good burger, but it was overcooked and dry. A bit of a disappointment really.

Had pizza with spicy beef. It was good. Staff very friendly.

Nice pub ,good to see it busy on a Thursday night

Nice pub, friendly, few different areas to sit, nice beer and a lovely Sunday roast

Lovely staff, we had beef, l did ask for my beef to be well done, hate to it red or pink, when it arrived l thought brill, well done, turned it over and it was red, staff took it back, staff took it back, brought it back after 5mins, however when it cut, it was pink, there was no green vegetables, only red cabbage and carrots, gravy was nice, roaster were okay, stuffing l liked, however we won't come back

Took my girlfriend for her 25th birthday. The service was quality, food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long to be served or have the food delivered to our table. Would recommend, especially on their 2-4-1 burger Wednesdays!

No takeout and unfamiliar with the food menu

Not impressed the fish was in dried out batter for both meals so had to be returned. We chose another meal and they was equally as bad. Customer service was okay but would not eat there again

Great pub with a good variety of drinks and a lovely outside area.

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely staff

Terrible Sunday beef roast. Had to pick up in hands to be able to eat it. Knife would not cut through it.

On holiday here and the cottage we stayed in put this pub as the recommended local. We ate here once. Ordered pizza and chips to share as we were told the menu was limited. The pizza was so greasy we couldn’t eat it and the chips weren’t cooked. The staff were lovely and aside the food, it seemed a friendly place.

Very friendly helpful staff but we was disappointed in the roast dinner, we all had beef and pork and was as tough as old boots!!! We did have a nice time but dont think id go back again as other places do offer better food and thats the only reason for me not returning. Hopefully you can improve. All the best.

Great pub, friendly staff with a lovely suntrap garden to enjoy your beer.

Great visit, very interesting, beautiful caves

Great food, live music and attentive and lovely staff. What more could you ask for on a night out. Oh and as it was steak night - buy one get one half price. Perfect end to a great day

Large portion friendly staff typically pub food at reasonable prices

Yes love The Kent's. Good memories been made there and great food

Just checked my statements from last week and discovered I have been grotesquely overcharged for a pint in Kents! I popped in for a few pints (exactly 2 pints) and one of the transactions came back at £47.70!!! As I was tapping my bank card I didn’t look at the screen properly! At best this was a mistake, at worst their staff are ‘on the take’. Beware.

Food tasty, main course was served three times in the end appears they had given wrong steak.

Nice place nice staff decent pint of beer

Really nice food, just a shame on our second visit there was no restaurant service due to staff shortage

Enjoyed our meal.very good customer service. Thank you

Pleasant pub with good pub food. An outdoor patio for good weather. Friendly staff.

Lovely light clean pub with delicious food and friendly efficient staff

Not had a bad experience here, decent ales on tap (Otter Brewery) and nice food, especially the burger.

Bit sad as previously had great food here. Very dry, bland tapas, alit if menu items unavailable. Service however very friendly and faultless. Maybe we hit in a bad day.

Loverly atmosphere loverly staff and great food

Service was very good, very polite and timely. Food wise the New York burger was very tasty and nice coleslaw on the side, the chips were a little disappointing to be honest, plenty of them but over cooked for my liking. But overall lovely meal, thank you very much. Will visit again to try the roast 🙂

Been here tonight for dinner. We both had a sirloin steak which were both awful. The edge was pure grisel and leathery and the meat was really tough. On advising the waitress that we were unhappy with both the meals that they sent out, we were only offered a free pudding. We accepted this as were hungry, we had the sticky toffee pudding which I have to say was equally as awful. The sponge had a non descript flavour and it was floating in a sauce which had a bitter burnt taste. Came away feeling very disappointed and hungry !!!!

Everything was very tasty, the atmosphere was nice, the waiters were very polite and fast.

Very tasty food, with a good range of dishes that are well-priced.

Lovely friendly local pub, with very efficient friendly staff. Excellent range of beers, ales, wines and spirits. Excellent outside covered space.

Truffle Burger was amazing love jt

Nice place with good food and staff were very efficient.

Amazing food and service Definitely recommend the 8oz steak ribeye

Friendly pub with good choice of beers. Plenty of space both inside and out. They also do food and have regular meal offers.

We were hoping to have the ploughmans as had really enjoyed it previously but they've stopped doing it which was disappointing, we had fish and chips which was nice instead.

Excellent food. Fast an efficient staff. Very enjoyable evening.

Unfortunately the food here has gone downhill, it's still a lovely location, friendly staff and a good variety of drinks if you're looking for a pub. A few years ago the food here was always fantastic, every time. After visiting and having 6 of the tapas dishes we were very disappointed and won't be going back for food.

Went in for a drink. Staff were friendly, didn't eat there, only stayed a while because the TV wad on and Rugby is not my thing.

Cracking staff, very well mannered and determined to satisfy the customer!

Great pub, friendly staff and atmosphere

Excellent service and friendly staff throughly recommend food was great

My wife and I recently visited the Kent's with our supper club for a meal. We are both long-standing vegetarians and with the limited choice available selected the roasted cauliflower with curried gnocchi, spinach and sauce. We were looking forward to it, but were very disappointed. The cauliflower seemed quite airy, with not much to it. Also there were just four small gnocchi 'chips' spaced around this, with a tiny bit of spinach. This was hardly a meal. It was just as well we had ordered a side dish of vegetables. The were the only satisfying part of the meal. The dish was attractively presented, but there was little substance to it, only a bit of cauliflower and chips swimming in coconut sauce. It needed something like lentils, beans or tofu to give it that substance, and some protein. We were relieved our ice cream desert was enjoyable. Apart from the food, we found the Kent's was very welcoming with friendly and helpful staff. However, we are unlikely to return unless the vegetarian options are much improved.
