The Oak Room Restaurant - Dainton Park in Teignbridge

Heard good reviews about their Sunday lunch so gave it a try, it was well organised which sometimes carvery’s aren’t, they do 2 sessions we went at 12pm so it was all fresh and plenty there. The food was lovely and enough different vegetables for everyone, the meat was all very tender I had beef & turkey and my husband had turkey & pork. Great value for money too, could fault it. Although full we couldn’t resist afters which were also very tasty. Will definitely return.

Been popping up to Dainton Golf Club for quick lunch at least once a week. Really good choice of menu. Bar snacks and full carvery. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. Relaxing and in the good weather lovely terrace to sit outside and watch the golfers. Would definitely recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A friend suggested this as a destination for our regular but overdue catchup. Booked the 1400h sitting and arrived on time. Really efficient service in being seated and they said they’d call us up to carvery so as to keep queueing under control. Table service for drinks too but there is the adjacent bar. There’s two sittings and so it was good to see new joints being set up for second sitting. We were promptly called, and as I was on crutches, a staff member held the plate as I chose what I wanted and took it back to our table. Today was beef, pork, gammon and turkey. Really nice and good selection of veg and Yorkshire’s were spot on. I tend not to eat a great deal so chose my normal amount. All in all a really nice experience. We sat out on the terrace after to finish our drinks in the sun. It’s a pretty slick operation here and it’s appreciated. I’ve seen venues be in complete chaos where adults of the same family have queued and had started eating 20+ minutes apart. I had a San Miguel (pint of draught) and my friend a pint of coke and the bill came to £20 each including a gratuity. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the venue really nice. The terrace is very nice as you have a great view down the fairway and it’s looking really good with all the colourful plants that are in full bloom. Definitely recommend and I’d go again.

It had been several years (because of Covid etc) since our last visit, and didn't know what to expect. Well, we no need to have worried, the Carvery was EXCELLENT, all cooked and presented PERFECTLY. All staff were very polite and efficient. We will DEFINITELY be returning. Thank you!

Can't praise Chef Nicky and her team enough for such a superbly cooked roast with wide range of delicious vegetables and raspberry roulade to finish. Their staff were amazingly polite and attentive which made the lunch an absolute delight.

Great Bar Menu choice at reasonable prices with great service , cleanliness and food presentation. Perfect for meeting up with friends for a lunchtime catch up. Can’t do enough to help you. Oh and free parking so no need to hurry away. So glad we have found you. Thank you .

Our first visit to Dainton Park and we thought it was great. We were welcomed by restaurant manager Roger show showed us to our table and made sure we were comfortable. We had a great Sunday lunch carvery served by a cheerful chef. They had 4 joints on offer and I had a bit of each with all the trimmings. Lovely selection of vegetables that were cooked just right. For desert I had the raspberry meringue roulade which was delicious. Deserts are all home made and you can tell. Finished off with coffee outside on the terrace enjoying the view All in all it was a really great experience made better by the lovely staff. I would definitely recommend 👍

Our group always choose the Oak Room at Dainton Golf Restaurant for our group meal and once again we couldn't fault it..today there were 20 of us to celebrate a birthday..two were in a wheelchair and the help they received was as always, wonderful...all the entrees were delicious with a lovely variety of vegetables, and a great choice of desserts..compliments to the chef and also to Helen and Anna who always go out of their way in their service.. we're already looking forward to our next visit...thank you..Mary (booking by Jacqui)

Having been a favourite for years today was extremely disappointing. Having travelled some distance for lunch I found the food on offer was not as appetising as in the past -before it was a hard choice between the lovely offerings. I suspected there had been a change of chef = correct! And some restaurant staff. I didn't recognise my fish pie as such so left it. I was offered a different meal but declined yet was still charged. I'd already said I would take another meal home to try later on, which I shall. My card was 'declined' I was told and daresay the whole restaurant heard this - fortunately I had another debit card with me. On phoning my bank = no, they had not received a request for payment from the Oak room but had cleared a slightly earlier one from the bar for drinks and there was plenty of £ in the account = ? Clearly the machine in the restaurant was u/s and the waitress, who smirked on announcing 'declined' ,was still smirking when I took her to task for the way in which she mishandled the situation ie was rude and could have suggested taking the 1st card's payment via the bar as before. What a shame, a favourite please gone down the drain regards both food and service. There'll be no rush to return.

Firstly I have to say that we eat at this place regularly and normally the food is fantastic and portions are huge. However we were disappointed with the Christmas lunch this year. Our portions were very small, the small portion of potatoes that did not seem like proper roast potatoes were placed underneath the turkey. The separate portion of vegetables was also very small for our party of four people as was the dessert. Filter coffee was included but if you wanted cappuccino or latte you had to pay more. The food did taste nice but there just wasn't enough of it. On a brighter note the staff were lovely and friendly as always and this will still be one of our favourite places to dine.

Met some friends here for lunch and chose the hot buffet style. Great selection of hot dishes to choose from and help yourself to potatoes and veggies. We had lamb. Steak pie and fish lie. Very generous serving and all fresh and hot. Also had puddings and we’re all delicious. Great view. Good service and food. What more do you need. They have a bar menu too if buffet style is too much for lunch. Coffee is good too.

We always enjoy our visits to Dainton as there is a good choice of dishes and the views over the golf course

Lots of choice...but other than the salmon (cooked to order and very good ) the other dishes from the hot plate were all overcooked. Lots of choice when it came to vegetables and side dishes, but some were poorly prepared ( unpeeled and seeds still in the butternut squash, carrots underdone, roast potatoes hard as bullets) A bit "school dinnersy" for us...we won't be back except for a sandwich in the bar perhaps.

As usual we had a superb lunch. They have such a wide choice of dishes. All the staff are really friendly and efficient and customers are always made to feel appreciated.

I went here with a party of about 30. I am vegan and before going I was given 3 things I could have ( it was a three course meal) and two of these was not vegan and one was very poor . After another email to them I was contacted and asked for my telephone number so it could be discussed and I was given something better but not that good. On the day it was a total disaster as I had a tiny bit of vegetable soup cold plate) but no vegan scone which I was promised and when I asked for it I was told the chef said they turned out like bullets and he put them in the bin!!!! Many times during this meal the people serving us were back and forth to ask the chef different things. Vegan is so easy but not at this establishment, the whole three courses were the poorest I have had anywhere. I could go on forever about how awful the whole thing was. Why did they turn this into Faulty towers. The people around me were complaining and for some weird reason they put the pork on curved dishes and it was difficult to cut on a curved dish. What a fiasco it all was and never again. This establishment has gone down a very steep hill

HAD are xmas do there and had a very nice time , but the service could be a little quicker .but was good anyway

I'm sorry to say the roast pork was disappointing unlike the wonderful roast on last year's birthday......roast potatoes were white!? and the dishes just looked 'tired' and not as fresh. The saving grace however was the salmon which I took home with me = delicious....the sauce was absolutely wonderful so that was good. However, I note someone else said the same thing so clearly something's changed, sad to say.

Dainton was always our ‘go to’ restaurant for lovely food. However we visited with friends for a special occasion on 4 August 2021 and were very disappointed with our food. It was just overall not as fresh and enjoyable as before. This is the second time we have been since lockdown ended and were disappointed the first time for similar reasons but felt we should try again. I must say the restaurant staff were helpful and attentive.

There for Sunday lunch on my recent birthday........superb as always.......fresh local produce beautifully cooked, well done chefs! And lots of it too. Excellent value and after a roast pork meal had raspberry roulade - 1 of my favourites, and as fresh as could be. Quite fabulous so thank you for making my day extra special :)

Recently visited with three friends one of whom was in a wheelchair. The table was book a few days before and they made special and helpful attention regarding our friend in the wheelchair. We all opted for the carvery which was good. Social distancing was in place and the staff wore masks which was good to see. All in all a nice lunch with the carvery costing a reasonable £10.95 each. We were though a little surprised to be charged 50p extra for a bit of soya milk! That was a first!

Best carvery we’ve had for a long time and staff were excellent. It was busy but organised and didn’t feel rushed. Fairly priced for the quality of the food. Nice to have a drink in the lounge beforehand. Definitely will be returning in the near future.

The meal was lovely. Only gripe was the carvery which we all had was advertised on the Blackboard as £ 10.50 when we went to pay we were charged £ 10.95 the young man at the till was insistent that his till was telling* him it was £ 10.95.

May I on behalf of the Tormohun Rotary Club thank you so much for our lunch today,we were 24,and the service and food was superb. The restaurant was full to capacity yet the food was brought to our tables quickly and was delicious. Thank you.

A beautiful venue for eating and golf . The carvery is exceptional but it is certainly advisable to book as it is so popular. Also a great golf course if you are interested, as I am. Max and Shirley

Very impressed with this restaurant. Quality of food, very friendly staff, reasonable prices, beautiful location. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Went a few weeks ago. 10 of us. I had decided before I got there to have the the steak and kidney pie. Went to get my food. The rolled pork with apricots, I had to change my mind.4 of us had this , it was delicious. 1 of our ladies had the liver and bacon. That looked lovely. The others had the salmon steak.The service was very sleek. The decor changed . Very nice.

Booked for 18 on Easter Sunday. Adults carvery,Dessert and coffee for 20 pounds. We were seated in the orangery which was absolutely lovely with big bifolding doors looking out on to the terrace then the golf course. The food was amazing and probably the best carvery I've had locally. Plenty of good quality meat and lots of tasty vegetables. Also the staff are on top of their game and very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. This place is definitely the place to go for a Sunday carvery and have been reliably informed that the food on the other menu is of the same quality. Desserts were again top drawer. Will be recommending and returning.

10 of us met around the table for the annual birthday lunch of one of the group of friends. A number of us chose the plaice as it was the only fish on offer. The disappointment was that it contained so many bones (no problem at home - you expect that) which meant that our conversation was severely curtailed. To be fair we were warned but so many bones and not much fish...One member of the party was also disappointed with the crumble saying she could have had better at home. Whilst the environment and service is good I have to say I was disappointed last year with the liver: one piece under cooked and one piece overcooked and dry. All in all, I shall not be going next year.

Extremely generous portions of delicious meat and vegetables. Very pleasant restaurant staff, helpful and efficient. I believe this restaurant is very popular and I can see why. Would definitely return.

This venue is not far from home so is a good standby for meals with visiting friends and family. They have consistently produced excellent food in the restaurant at lunchtime for many many years and they always provide good service in an attractive setting. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to eat to avoid cooking or celebrating a special event you won’t go far wrong by visiting here.

We went on Wednesday lunch time as part of a group, you choose your main and then help yourself to the veg which is all fresh and hot, all one price which makes it easy if you want to share the bill!

Came with 20 people on Wed 12th December for a Christmas party. Had a brilliant meal. All food was hot, tasty and served quickly. I reckon there were about 100 people eating there at the same time. Made to feel very welcome by the female manager on duty and the male barman ( a short chap) would definitely recommend the place.

Excellent service , value and food. Best mass produced evening I have ever been to. Food was hot , staff attentive. AMAZING well done Dainton def recommend.

We chose Dainton for my mums 65th birthday as we have had many happy celebrations here before. Although unfortunately on this occasion we were left disappointed. We booked a table for 18 over 10 months ago but when we arrived were seated on 3 different tables. When we spoke to a member of staff to voice our concerns we were told it’s because of Christmas and there is no way we could all sit together. Very disappointing. The staff seemed to be rushing around like headless chickens. We were also disappointed with some of the veg. The cauliflower cheese sauce was watery, stuffing was sloppy and tasteless and the swede looked like uncooked frozen chips. It definitely put a downer on my mums birthday she was very disappointed. She was planning to book here for their ruby wedding next year but is in two minds now as would hate to have another celebration ruined.

We went too the 2pm sitting,could not fault it,veg was fresh out into trays,meat excellent,great staff,always a good atmosphere,we love this place.

As always the food is excellent value for money, the restaurant is clean and has stunning views over the golf course. The staff are all very friendly.

Went as part of a largish group for a birthday celebration

A carvery is not for everyone but this golf club restaurant is a great Sunday lunch venue.

As members of a group we visit this restaurant for a buffet lunch at least twice a year. The food is always excellent with a wide selection of very tasty, generous. main courses with unlimited vegetables . Very few of us can resist the tempting selection of desserts. Good food and drinks in a lovely setting with friendly staff - what more could we ask for ! I definitely recommend booking as the restaurant is very popular but tasty bar meals are also available.

Visited for the Sunday carvery and was very impressed. A choice of four meats (with beef also available rarer and more well done) and a huge range of vegetables and accompaniments, this carvery offers not only choice, but quality food and great value.

Fantastic food, excellent service , an all round great evening. Extra vegetables and rolls bought out. A family member who is vegan absolutely loved her food, well catered for vegetarian too. All meals were amazing.We will definitely return.

Once again we had a lovely lunch. Food always excellent and pleasant staff very helpful. The new decor was love too. We were a party of six and we all agreed that we were not very impressed with the new cars payment tablet. We felt that it was very hard to conceal your pin number, so not very security wise.

Delightful surroundings, plenty of parking, clean with character, what more could you want?

We had lunch for the first time at the Oak Room last week. This is a really nice restaurant with a "Club" feel to it. It's a hot buffet with wide range of dishes, including carvery, pies, fish and lots of vegetables. The restaurant is very well priced and it was full - many of them were clearly regulars as they all knew the drill. It's not a romantic lunch venue but it is a really good eat and the food was real home cooking style and very tasty indeed. Efficient and friendly staff helped to make this a pleasant place. We'd go back for a carverey at this restaurant because of the freshness and turnover of the food. Some carvery style places seem to have had food under lamps all day long - but not the Oak Room. The restaurant is ina lovely setting with countryside views. However, if I were going back soon then I would like to try the bar snacks which has a room with even better views and a delightful and comfy looking lounge bar. It definitely feels like a Club but a cosy one - not the exclusive variety.

Been again to The Oak Roon Restaurant again for the Sunday roast. Four different roasts beef, pork, turkey and gammon, with at least eight different vegetable dishes, plus roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings with loads of tasty gravy.

Went for lunch today and could not fault the place in any way at all. Staff are welcoming and extremely friendly. Food was amazing, compliments to the chef! Service prompt and timely. I had steak and kidney with suet crust and the meat was beautifully tender and tasty. Great selection of help yourself vegetables to compliment your main. Parents had lamb hot pot and couldn't compliment it enough and my sister had turkey and gammon pie which was equally delicious! Make sure to save room for a pud, great selection I had trouble deciding which to have. Went with treacle tart and it was delicious. Will definitely be back for more.

Been to the Oak Room at Dainton Park several times we have never been disappointed.

Just as previous reviewers reported, we enjoyed an excellent Sunday Lunch, good choice of meats, and great range of vegetables....

El asado de los domingos es simplemente genial. Un montón de carne y una gran variedad de verduras que se puede tomar tanto como quieras, con un montón de salsa y si quieres más el personal te trae una jarra pequeña.

Una comida encantadora español degustación anoche. La comida fue una gran variedad de platos españoles tradicionales acompañados por música de guitarra atmosférica. Felicitaciones a todo el personal del restaurante y gracias por una buena noche.

8 of us had Lunch here this week. Meditarian pork, the salmon quiche, the stake and onion pie and another dish I can't remember what it was. Well all plates cleared. The choice of veg was great. The staff all very helpful. Even providing a knife and plates for the cake that we had brought with us. Nothing too much trouble.

Had hubby's birthday lunch here today. Never been before, but as previous reviews were good we thought we'd try it out. We weren't disappointed. The table we'd asked for was reserved which was a bonus as the restaurant was extremely busy. Our drinks order was taken promptly & we were directed to the buffet hot meals very quickly. The choice of main dishes was plentiful as were the vegetables. The hot plates were placed on a tray which was a nice touch. The dessert selection was extensive so it was very difficult to choose, but the roulades we both had were delicious. All in all a very pleasurable experience. We would definitely return & recommend.

Quite a while since we last ate at The Oak Room at Dainton Park, but the latest meal was such a success. The hot buffet mains change daily and include a veggy option. Dishes are really very well cooked, with the main component (such as the meat) served y the staff, with all vegetables, sauces etc. self served. Most impressive were the vegetables - so often either overcooked or dried out at the servery. Not so here - all were just right, being replenished often and not too much at a time.The view onto the last green is great, service friendly and swift, with a good selection of desserts. By no means our last meal at Dainton.

Visited today (14/5/17) as part of a private function and were seated in The Orangery- a light and bright room with great views over the fairway and surrounding countryside. We ordered coffees at the bar as we had arrived earlier than the rest of our group and were served politely and quickly by pleasant staff. We were impressed by the choices of meats - lamb,beef, pork and turkey with all the trimmings, as well as the many choices of fresh veg. Once it came to choosing the desserts, we were again impressed by the amount of choice available. The desserts were all impressive in quantity. I would recommend eating here as the staff were very polite and genuinely cared that we were all enjoying our meals- even going back up to the carvery to replace slices of roast beef which had been sliced rather thickly. Nothing was too much trouble for the very helpful and polite staff, who clearly take pride in what they do.

Wonderful meal, great staff, stunning venue! Staff helpful in preparations with lots of ideas from experience. Flexible on day when amazing weather and timescales needed some changes to plans. Couldn't have been better! So many guests commented on quality of food and service!

For my wonderful Granny reaching the grand old age of 80, we decided to host a family gathering at Dainton Park. In short, the staff there were incredibly helpful and attentive; the food was fantastic and there was an excellent spread for the roasts we had, as well as a wide range of desserts; the venue was in a great location with spectacular views over the golf course. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The food was very tasty and very varied choice,they made it special for my mother as it was her 95th birthday by bringing her desert with a candle singing happy birthday

We were taken to this lovely restaurant at the golf club by friends we haven't seen for absolutely ages.Being a Sunday lunch, the menu was typically Sunday roast with choices of turkey, pork, beef and lamb. Between the four of us, I think we sampled all of them and they were all beautifully cooked. The delicious meat was supplemented with a very wide variety of vegetables all cooked to the same level of perfection.Having stuffed ourselves with the main course, we obviously couldn't manage dessert - as if!! Another very good range of treats and this was unusual for me - I am very much the savoury diner rather than sweet but mine was well worth having.All this needed was a great level of service to complete the experience and that is what we got. The staff were friendly and very efficient.I can't tell you about the overall value for money as our friends insisted on treating us. Nonetheless, I had seen the headline price when we went in and it was more than reasonable.It will be a long time before we go back simply as it is around 150 miles away but we do know that if another visit is proposed we would not hesitate to accept.

Excellent food and service, very clean. Good choice of meals available. Staff helpful and friendly. Lovely views of countryside ( and golf course! ) from restaurant. Easy to park.

A group of about 25 of us met up for a celebratory Sunday lunch and we had use of The Orangery. (The food is the same as the Oak Room.) Being disabled I was wondering how I'd cope with a carvery, but a waitress was on hand to manage the tray for me. There was a choice of 4 meats and a wide variety of vegetables to suit all tastes; and they were not over cooked.Plenty of parking. Reasonable price, would recommend

I organise Sunday Lunches for members of Teign U3A and on Sunday 18th December we visited the Oak Room Restaurant at Dainton Golf Club. There were 18 of us, and although we had to wait a while to be seated on such a busy day, everyone agreed that the lunch was superb from the Carvery.

There was a large Xmas party about to arrive and the staff were being pulled everywhere because of it, however orders for the everyday customers were being taken as usual... We ordered but it never came so I reminded the staff member that took the order and she passed the message to the kitchen.... The order then arrived immediately, !!! it had been waiting on the pass for 10 mins !!! and when we got it the bacon baguette was stone cold... There was little sympathy from the staff so we sent it back and demanded a full refund , 2 lost customers for every weekend not just for Xmas !!!!! All your loyal customers will go if you give this terrible service !!!!

I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The staff especially Anna are really helpful , well everyone is friendly. If you can in try the xmas lunch it's great value. I have a few allergies and intolerances and I was catered for. You have to try this restaurant .

Today 30 WI ladies celebrated by having Xmas lunch, all ordered in advance so that everyone got what they wanted. Paul the chef is amazing especially if you have any food intolerance he goes that extra mile. The room looked stunning and the views looking down the 18th fairway were amazing.The room was buzzing so many people there enjoying the food. Lots of staff to serve and help.Would recommend you give it a try. Plenty of parking spaces, but book your meal in advance.

My wife and I visited today and had a first class meal. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is superb and sensibly priced.

My first visit to this club. I had been invited to a surprise birthday party which was at lunchtime on a Sunday. Arrived and purchased a drink in the bar which was very spacious and had lovely views. We were seated in the Orangery which is a separate room just off the bar area. The atmosphere everywhere was very welcoming. For lunch we all had the carvery but I noticed that a few people had pre ordered a vegetarian option and this was no problem for the staff and looked very appetising.The choice of meats was very good and even included lamb which is often not on offer at other Carveries. The Chef was extremely friendly and welcoming and the portions were extremely generous. The roast potatoes were very crisp and fresh and the vegetables were nicely cooked and there was lots of choice.We were then offered the choice of desserts which was vast and I chose the treacle tart (to die for!) and I also tasted the raspberry roulade (bliss!). The staff were very friendly and appeared to cope extremely well with not only our party of approx 40 people but also a very full restaurant and an extremely busy bar area.Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wished to have a lovely meal and a enjoy a great atmosphere.It is an ideal venue for a private party as well.

I don't do Sunday carvery, not at all, but there is an exception to every rule and this is it. It was me and my twin sister's birthday and we went with our family for Sunday lunch. The food is fantastic, meats cooked to perfection and choice of vegetables you wouldn't believe. Roast spuds lovely and delicious gravy, all just like home cooked. I must say that the yorkies looked a bit deflated and unapitising to me, but I don't really eat them so it didn't bother me (I do cook them for my family though and mine are much better looking) Dainton Golf Club is extremely welcoming with really nice bar & restaurant with attractive views across the course and pleasant atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend.

We went for the Sunday carvery with two small children in tow. The lovely lady who was running the service could not have been kinder. They let us go up early so the children didn't get grumpy waiting and helped me carry the plates back to the table. One of my nightmare children decided that instead of the roast dinner he wanted cucumber (I realise this is not normal!). Again the was accommodated with no fuss whatsoever.The food was very well cooked and there was a good variety of vegetables to chose from. The bar area also looked lovely with beautiful views over the countryside but due to having the children we didn't linger after lunch.The clientele does verge on the elderly side but I found it lovely that so many people came up to talk to us and our children.You definitely need to book on a Sunday lunch as every table was occupied and they clearly get a lot of return customers. A very family friendly restaurant, the only thing to be aware of is that the floor is carpeted which can be a bit tricky with messy eaters......

thank you for a first class venue, staff and food. Well organised, All 10 of us for Ann`s birthday family meal were very pleased.Thank you all again .Very recommended.

It's been a year since we last came over for a mid-day meal. Shouldn't have left it so long. As always a pleasant reception on the phone when booking a table and in person when we arrived. As it happens it was 1.25pm when we went up to the counter to get our meals. Unfortunately two of the choices were sold out, but there were still several other choices available Obviously it's difficult to balance having enough to go round - versus having too much left over...and I fully appreciate that. I did notice that by 1.40pm there were less choices available. So the moral of the story is .... don't leave it too late. Lovely meals and a young fella served us who was extremely polite and helpful....couldn't have asked for better. All the staff seemed welcoming and friendly to customers...always a bonus!The main course was £10.50. Deserts £4.95. Coffees were around £2. I thought the prices just about OK as the quality was good and the portions were a good size and you get to choose as much or as little vegetables and potatoes as you want from the counter and the deserts looked a decent size and looked very nice. To be honest I wouldn't want to pay any more though...I think that was enough.Certainly recommended and we hope to return and won't leave it so long.Thank you.

Have been going to Dainton for last 5 years, carvery is of high standard with a wide range of vegetables, this standard has been maintained we have never had a bad meal, staff excellent.

Holidaying in the local area as we regularly do, we were recommended this restaurant and booked the first sitting for the Sunday carvery, and whilst the food was very good and enjoyable, the drinks were quite expensive. Felt a little rushed as we finished our meal as there is a second sitting afterwards. However on the whole a good experience and nice atmosphere

As a vegan I usually get the short straw at restaurants but not here. I telephone earlier in the week to say I was vegan. Expecting the usual sigh I was told chef would be informed. Well I was served one of the best vegan meals (apart from my own cooking ha ha) I have had in Devon.I'll certainly be going back.

Gin and tonic in the sun on the terrace, followed by a delicious carvery (cauliflower cheese to die for). All in beautiful surroundings.

I visited The Oak Room twice in four days last week and both times had a wonderful meal. Their Raspberry Meringue Roulade is to die for....I have it every time I go there! I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant must be booked.This is a buffet style service, with real ale from the bar.Food is freshly cooked very 20 minutes or so. It is superb, and is never dry, with a choice of five six dishes, that change daily.Excellent value for money.

A really lovely experience, Mum is still talking about it over a week later. I hope it is repeated. Beautiful food and presentation.

Had a fantastic evening celebrating our mums surprise 75th birthday, excellent food, Anna, Pippa & all the staff from kitchen to out front were just amazing, the dining room was beautifully laid out service was excellent they even booked our entertainment a Tom Jones tribute act on our behalf, it was just a fantastic evening from start to finish would highly recommend Dainton

The food both quality and quantity is excellent, everything fresh and so much choice.Ideal for lunch, excellent staff and service, what more can I say. Wonderful dessert choice too and do yummy. Well done to everyone.

In short, I won't be rushing back!We turned up without booking and it seemed we may have been lucky with a table as there had been a cancellation.The Sunday lunch was plentiful with a good choice of veg, but I found it all to be rather plain, bland and somewhat boring. This may be my/our own personal tastes, but I like my veg to be tasty and individual. My Yorkshire puddings to be light, eggy tasting and crispy. To me, everything tasted much the same.It was not cheap at over £11 per person. I have had much better elsewhere for a lot less, but thought I'd give it a go. Glad I did as I can be sure not to return

A big group of us went for Sunday lunch, with a fantastic selection of roast meat and vegetables in the carvery. The staff were great, particularly with the children, helping them choose their food, and carried it to their seats for them. Desserts were fantastic too! The view over the golf course was lovely, even in the rainy weather.

We had Sunday lunch at The Oak Room and were very impressed with the variety and quality of the food. The staff couldn't be more helpful and it was really child friendly. Welcoming and warm atmosphere.

My family and I ate here this weekend for lunch. The food was beautfiully cooked, Sunday roasts, with wide range of fresh vegetables and lovely home made puds. Attentive, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.

I have dined here a few times now and couldn't rate it high enough. Jacqui greeted us when we arrived and was so accommodating. The food is delicious and always served to a high standard. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

As I was unable to eat their usual delicious main courses (temporary medical reason) the chef offered to prepare something especially for me.I can't thank him enough as I was then able to enjoy lunch with my friends.

A jolly good lunch was much enjoyed by our family group - the food varied, interesting, delicious and plentiful as always and it's very easy to enjoy our five-a-day with the wonderful selection of perfectly cooked vegetables always on offer. Three of us couldn't resist the temptations of the sweet trolley too and we rounded off our meal with excellent coffee in the sunny bar!

We visited Dainton for a Mothers day lunch. As always the carvery was plentiful, hot and offered a good choice, the service is impeccable and the views beautiful. But the cherry on the cake has to be the fantastic selection of home made puddings. The food is well priced, parking is plentiful and easy - would definitely recommend.

A trip with the local WI who know very well where good food is on offer. The service could not have been better and help was offered in an unobtrusive way to some of our older members. The view was the icing on the cake. My only small quibble is that compared to the main meal, the puddings were slightly pricy. But there was a range of gluten-free food and dairy-free ice cream was also on offer.

excellent service by very helpful staff. mum had arm in a sling so the waitress helped her get her carvery. watched her help a number of older people get their lunch too. good choice of vegetables. hot plates and hot food.

Second visit and both times excellent. Lovely surroundings and if you can get window table views are wonderful. Golf club restaurant open to non members with good choices on menu and high standards.

Friends and myself arranged to get together at a central point for all of us. This was the first Sunday that we could arrange as the Oak Room Restaurant was fully booked for the previous two weeks for both their early and late sittings.I am not a fan of two sitting dining as everyone has a different pace of eating and enjoying a meal out. We opted for a second sitting which was 1.30.p.m. It was sometime later before we were given a place.The food was well cooked and lots of it for those with large appetites. Indeed our party had no room for the good selection of puds.The staff were all friendly and helpful.The venue lends itself to family parties, Indeed there was a large party for an 88th Birthday gathering whilst we were there.

My thanks go out to Penny, all the kitchen and front of house staff for looking after all 103 of us on Saturday 23/01/2016. Your food was great and the short time getting allthat food to the tables was no mean featThank you once again The South Devon Railway Assoiation

we had booked a table of for 10 for a Christmas lunch there was a excellent selection we all ordered different meals as we had been to the Dainton previously we knew the food was the best in the area ...they certainly lived up to their reputation once again the staff could not do enough to p,ease the restaurant was full but this did not change the service if you have not visited this restaurant it's a must but be warned you do need to reserve a table they are so busy will definitely be back again and again ...

This was our first visit to the Oak Room which had been highly recommended to us. We were immediately looked after by Jacqui, who offered us the table right by the main window so enjoyed the great view over the golf course. Her service throughout our visit was perfect, as were the meals!We will definitely be visiting again and again!

Have been many times, lovely home made dishes, fresh veg. It's an attractive venue. Overlooking golf course and countryside. There also is a pleasant lounge where you can relax after with your coffee.

Have eaten here three times including Sunday lunch, midweek buffet and the Christmas 3 course lunch. It is excellent value and the Christmas menu includes 3 courses including coffee. As members of the golf club we get a generous discount but it is still good value. I would recommend the midweek buffet for its choice and quality and for less than £10 you can't go wrong. The staff are attentive and there is a lovely relaxed atmosphere with views over the golf course.

I have dined in The Oak Room before and had a very good meal. It was with this in mind that prompted me to book Christmas lunch. However, it was a very disappointing experience. Some of the vegetables were undercooked and others seemed to be either past their best or overcooked Portion control also comes to mind - hardly generous given the cost of the set lunch. If this had been the very first time I had eaten here then I would not return. The service was absolutely excellent as usual. I do hope this was a temporary 'blip' because it is usually fairly good.

Just had their Christmas Dinner and what a delicious meal. Staff all extremely friendly and can't fault the service. All in great surroundings. Will definitely go there again.

Have eaten here for a few Sunday Lunches, all excellent. Better to book as there are two sittings and it is very popular. Best Sunday lunch, quite like home cooked, plenty of meat and an excellent choice of veg. The service is well organised and the staff always happy and very efficient.. The only down side is the plates could be a bit larger, I would not expect more meat but like my food to be less cramped up.Also eaten buffet lunch during the week, extremely good and an excellent choice of menu. The Christmas set meal in the evening was also very good.Lovely setting with beautiful views of the course

Lovely location with easy parking. Most courteous staff. Classic, tasty Sunday lunch. Proper sized portions of meat! Lovely vegetables. And a very good and reasonably priced house red. Sadly the very mediocre quality of the coffee lets the place down a bit. But highly recommended, nevertheless.
