The best restaurants in East Dart South Hams South West

Emma provided a FABULOUS spread for 120 people following a funeral at Stoke Gabriel church. Everyone was catered for and the food was exceptional, most notably the crab cakes, samosas and scones, with jam and cream of course. Aunt and uncle have lived in the village for more than 50 years and have dined at Emma’s many times, always speaking MOST highly of the restaurant, food and Emma herself. Thank you!

The most welcoming, friendly pub I have ever been to. So wish it was my local!

Fantastic village pub, very welcoming.

The meal was gourmet excellence!

We realise that this restaurant cannot provide a large menu especially during the autumn /winter but on our evening the fish choice was not on (replaced with a lazy prawn dish) and out of two desserts the crumble was also not available! Feel this is lazy as there is so much fish available locally and the excuses to not provide an apple crumble is in fact rather lazy from the kitchen. If you only want to offer pizzas and burgers, fine but don’t disappoint people with omissions.

We have just got home from spending 4 nights in Littlehempston. We ate at the Tally Ho every night. Absolute superb local pub. From the welcome of the Landlord and Landlady, Mike and Kelly to the delightful food choices on their menu. The chef supplies you with pure gastronomic delights. Cooked to perfection. The Chowder was the best we have ever eaten. Just one of the many delicious dishes served to us. We would definitely recommend a visit here. The warmth and ambience of your welcome is amazing and we can’t wait to visit again.

We had the lunchtime tasting menu- it was very nice with some lovely tasting food. But all the very elaborate cooking was often lost- we couldn’t taste the hay in the hay baked beetroot (even though it was very tasty) and the foam with the (remarkably small portion) sea bass just tasted a bit milky. We wondered if the chef might try a little less hard and end up with the same impact. Service was friendly and generally attentive, although it got stretched when two parties of six arrived.

Simply the best roast dinner within the local area. Rebecca certainly does the tastiest, fluffiest roast potatoes. Always on point and she’s so keen to know what we think of them. It’s now our favourite place to have a roast and we have been back several times. We’ve decided this is going to be our new tradition. Tim is so friendly and welcoming. Very informative and knowledgeable. All staff spend time getting to know their customers, their names, likes and dislikes. I true gem of a traditional village pub

Popped in one lunchtime to check it out & book a table for the evening however weren’t impressed with the reception despite there only being two other people in. We followed three other people in with their dogs who also waited as we did but there was no one behind the bar although there was a man talking to the couple at a table. No communication came from this person at all so we all walked out! The atmosphere was somewhat depressing!
