The best restaurants in Mid Devon South West

I am thrilled that you are getting back up and running. I've had so many relaxed and friendly hours in the cafe with friends that I am looking forward to more accompanied by a fab nut roast and side salads fit for a queen. Airy and plenty of space (unlike other cafes that cram as many in as they can) so it feels very Covid safe even without have to make big changes.

Pretty average costa. Having gone to this Costa a few times I have found the staff very nice for the most part. The atmosphere is great although on occasion I feel cleanliness could be improved often you go in to find mugs and cups all over tables where they have not cleaned up. I appreciate when they are busy which they often are this would be difficult to keep on top of. However proper management of staff would go a long way. I've worked in a similar food and beverage industry myself, clear leadership is required which is obviously not there currently. Some staff are obviously better than others. I do find what I assume to be the manageress to be at times unprofessional I have witnessed her telling staff off in ear shot and view of customers. Seems that staffing is often inadequate for the business levels hence the cleanliness issues. Overall it's OK, could be better.

We heard The White Hart was under new ownership so we came along for midweek lunch - it was great! We were warmly greeted by a kind lady behind the bar which had lots of ale, lager & cider choices. We ordered the daily special with a drink which for £12 was great value. The Cod & Chips and Scampi were exactly what you’d expect from a country town pub grub - well worth the money. The desert of STP was also lush. We’d definitely recommend this pub for a great quality and great value midweek lunch. We’ll come back for Sunday Lunch soon.

Always rated this takeaway as the best Chinese takeaway in Tiverton, god knows wot they have done changed cooks or got someone who has no idea, myself and my wife had a takeaway from here n it was awful very bland starter was mix spare rib well over cooked, pancake rolls very greasy taste of nothing. We will NOT be going back.

Absolutely brilliant roast dinner for Easter Sunday. Table of 12 all enjoyed excellent roasts, kids meals and desserts. Hugely generous portions and excellent service!

Nos metimos en esta tienda de la granja mientras estábamos cerca. Tiene una preciosa selección de quesos. El staff es muy amigable. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

Only gave 1 as half isn't an option utterly disgusting, rude staff, food was below any kind of standard and cold when I complained felt like I was an inconvenience to the staff dirty and the whole experience was extremely unpleasant wouldn't be going their again

We really high hopes for a good local restaurant but unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Service was awful - one waitress serving on a bank holiday weekend (despite the fact we had seen other staff wondering around). When we arrived there were only 2 other tables yet it took forever to even get our drinks or have our food order taken. When the food arrived (nearly an hour later) the order was all wrong (the waitress never bothered to check our order back and just seemed to write down whatever she wanted). First issue was she gave our burgers the wrong way round but told us they were correct and it was hard for us to tell the difference (especially as things were missing that we were expecting to be in as per the menu). The kitchen staff should have made it clear to the servers which was which especially for any allergies or intolerances! So half way through tucking into our burgers we realised we had the wrong ones. My burger was completely dry (and over cooked) and no sauce was added that I asked for. We had asked for Parmesan and truffle oil flavoured chips and they came with just Parmesan. We told the waitress what we had actually ordered (as soon as the food arrived) and there was no apology or offer to rectify it, so we simply asked for some truffle oil to drizzle over. The waitress was so rude and said she wasn’t sure because the kitchen was so busy (we just asked for a pot of oil not even new chips like we deserved) in quite a harsh tone so I proceeded to tell her it is what we ordered and the waitress never read the order back to check and we’ve had pretty awful service tonight. Her response was to bite back and say it wasn’t her fault and she made a bit of a scene to which we felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. It was awful, I have never been treated like that. What happened to the customer is always right?! Regardless of which individual staff member’s fault it was, it wasn’t ours and they didn’t seem to see that! And by this point it has ruined our night. No apology, no offer to sort out the problems which had occurred through staff incompetence, no attempt to make our night any better. From then on no one spoke to us or checked how anything was. I understand the waitresses shouldn’t have to deal with complaints but why wouldn’t the manager address us? I am just shocked that we got treated like this in a independent restaurant that thrives off customer satisfaction. And to top it off they charged us for the things they never even provided - absolutely awful! Not to mention we booked a table and were shoved in a corner behind a wall and the place was dirty and extremely tired looking for a new restaurant! Won’t be returning again and the food was not even worth ordering a takeaway! I felt so unwell after from how greasy it was. Waste of money! But even worse service and experience!!!

New owners Steve and Mandy couldn’t have made us more welcoming. Very friendly, fantastic atmosphere and exceptional food. Booking for Sunday roast is essential. Fish and chips on a Friday night is the best in the area. We’re on our way over again tomorrow night!

Not impressed with the fish. Very small portion of very non descriptive fish covered in far too much crispy batter. At £16.50 was very over-priced. Seems like chef (cook) does not take pride on their dishes. Would definitely not eat here again. Would not recommend.

This pub is brilliant - the owners are so welcome and it has a great atmosphere. It is reasonably priced (we had a main meal for around £8 and a few drinks) and there is a good selection of food and drinks. It is everything a village pub should be and I’ll definitely be returning

Popped into Dottys on a Saturday lunchtime, mainly for a milkshake for my step-daughter. There is a large choice of milkshakes for £2 each, cream and sprinkles can be added for £1.50p and a doughnut for 50p. We went for both choices. She was very excited and said the milkshake was lovely. The doughnut, when I picked it off the top of the milkshake, felt very stale. We decided to order food. There is a small selection of meals on the menu including breakfast, toasties, paninis, burgers and ham, egg and chips. Smaller portions can be made for younger children. We both ordered a bacon sandwich and a portion of chips. The bread was cheap, only 2 slices of bacon and the handful of chips we received for £2.50 for a portion was a disappointment. My step-daughter had a toastie which came with salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips which a pleasant surprise. When I went to pay, the lady who served us picked up our tab piece of paper which clearly had been totalled up but then proceeded to go through my entire order with me, writing down prices and adding it up again, only to reach the same price as the initial tab form said. I then attempted to pay by card which took forever to make a connection and then said payment not accepted. I was made to feel like this was my fault and that I didn’t have enough funds in my account which was certainly not the case. Luckily I had cash so was able to make a payment. Would I return again? Probably not, unless just popping in for a drink as a treat. Basic, overpriced food and milkshakes and average customer service.

Pizza was very tasty and perfectly cooked and it was from a can. Only thing I would say, they could make the pizzas a bit thicker but that’s down to personal preference.

Great fresh food and quick service

Staying at nearby Caravan Site, so booked table for Saturday evening, and we’re very impressed with our meals - freshly cooked, tasty and very substantial. Owner and all serving staff were very friendly and efficient - even offered a take-away box for the fajita dish (very tasty!) that I couldn’t finish. Plus the cider offer is fab. Really enjoyable evening.
