The best restaurants in Mid Devon South West

This has to be the poorest excuse for an indian takeaway i have ever known the food is vile, The chef needs to go look at the recent reviews. When we walked in it was a cold unwelcoming experience waiting for the slop to be cooked. Tasteless watery, hardly any chicken and what there was was disgusting. How this place is still trading is beggars belief. Used to be a great place now the worst takeaway restaurant i have ever known.

Good friendly service and helpful.

Love this macdonalds, easy to park, the food always comes out really hot & fresh. Tables are always clean & it's always tidy.

Our regular get together with family was as perfect as always. In particular, Sally was so cheerful, friendly and efficient as she always is. It was a very busy lunchtime and even though they were a little short staffed on that day, we weren't kept waiting at all. Sally always looks after us so well.

Stopped off on the way home from Exmoor, had coffee and scones. Lovely dining area, outside seating and working mill. Great gift shop, no tat here, nice quality products with a vast range of goods.

Our first time at the Lamb for a while, and sadly it didn't live up to expectations. The pub had long been known for great locally produced food, great beer with a warm and lively atmosphere. We visited mid-week and found the experience to be rather underwhelming. The menu has some wonderful dishes on it, alongside some pub classics - not exciting, but a solid menu. We ordered a variety of starters and mains. The waitress returned to our table to deliver our food and told us there had been a mistake in the kitchen and that the mains were being prepared to come out with or before the starters. It seems to us that the chef wanted to go home promptly, as the kitchen closed at 8pm and this was as around 1945. My wife had the cod tacos and they were brilliant - tasty, well presented and truly creative. My children had the kids beef burgers and I had a chicken burger. The burgers weren't great. The children's burger was just a plain burger in a bap, (no option for cheese etc). They both complained the burger was dry. My chicken burger was tasty, but the chicken was overcooked and therefore quite tough on the edges. The chips were fantastic! Dessert was good. We were informed the kitchen had no cream and that meant a couple of the dishes were off/needing to be adapted. Three tasty puddings (ice creams and the sundae) arrived and were enjoyed by all. Overall it fell below expectations. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but it isn't a shadow of what it once was. I hope our visit was not typical. The Lamb holds a special place in my heart and it is painful to write a review that isn't gushing with admiration. But sadly it was the worst meal we had out this week. Another local pub the following night showed us just what was missing. A plea to the Lamb team - rather than defending criticism and feedback (which your reviews are full of), embrace it and improve. It's an amazing spot but it isn't hitting the mark at present. It can be so much more than it is today.

We recently visited the house and gardens, and found all the staff very friendly and helpful especially because at present I am unable to get around without a using a walker. The house and furnishing's were magnificent condition considering there age, and have certainly been cared incredibly by the National Trust house team. The gardens are grounds have also been well maintained by the hardworking Volunteers. This property is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area.

Called in on a busy Saturday morning on the way to Cornwall. The place was lovely. The breakfast however was disappointing. We ordered a small breakfast - £8.99 and were surprised that we had to choose bacon OR sausage (couldn't have both). Also, the egg was put on top of the toast which seemed a bit odd. We've certainly had bigger and better breakfast for that price. However, the food that was on the plate was cooked well and tasted okay.

Telephoned to book and said that we may be bringing a dog. We were told that dogs were not allowed in the dining room which was fair enough, however we could eat in the bar. As there were 5 of us we decided not to take the dog and I rang and told them so and asked to book the dining area. When we arrived I went to the dining area to be greeted by a rather large dog, (which turned out to be the owners,) which was slobbering everywhere as it walked around the room. I then found out that we had been put in the bar. We then had to walk through the dining room to where the food was being served and then back into the bar which was becoming busy. We were sat around a table in the middle of the bar with people constantly back and forth. It was a nightmare. Needless to say we won’t be returning

Stayed at the Exeter in on 12/10/24 for one night. Room was lovely and we had a very comfortable night. Had our evening meal which was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was wonderful too. Thank you Jonathan and your friendly staffing team. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Booked for an early evening roast as we were staying with family in a neighbouring village. We all had roast dinner. Myself being vegetarian opted for the nut roast. Absolutely delicious. Meats well cooked and plentiful. Food well presented and hot. Crumble and salted caramel cheese cake for desserts. Again delicious. I would most definitely recommend this pub as a place to dine and catch up with family and friends. We will be returning.

If you like traditional pubs, thatched cottages, and a really warm welcome from Mark and Teresa, your hosts, then look no further than the New Inn. You feel the warmth immediately you walk through the door. As you walk round to the bar you are greeted by “Captain” the parrot who is the longest serving resident at 40 years old. Being freehold, with no ties to any particular brewery, there is a wide choice of beers, ales and ciders and they're all excellent. The food is traditional country pub and is cooked and prepared by Mark and Teresa who do an absolutely amazing job. In my opinion the food being of excellent quality. Although I haven't stayed in any of the rooms I do know that they were all refurbished very recently and having spoken to people that have stayed the comments have always being excellent. Mark and Teresa always take time to try and chat with their customers and make them feel welcome. If you have any particular requests then they will always do their best to accommodate if at all possible. Another welcoming aspect is that they are pet friendly even having dog biscuits on the bar, free to their customers. A testament to their welcoming approach is the number of people from the local area that visit time after time. The impressive thing is that Mark and Teresa always manage to remember each individual's name. I can't recommend this wonderful, ancient, traditional thatched pub, highly enough. You won't be disappointed.

Love the mac and cheese from here to be honest.

Food was small portions of overcooked food. Took ages, we were the only people in there on a Sunday. No staff, tables not cleared, no idea of service. Suggest you get someone in to help you improve your business.

We had a table booked for 730 830 our meals finally arrived. We were not told there was a wait and no coming to our table to say there was an hour wait on food
