The best restaurants in Salcombe and Malborough South Hams South West

Gorgeous, good quality food. The service was really friendly and beautifully presented. This was the second season we’ve visited.

After much cajoling and bribery involving a bacon roll , I convinced my older wife we should head out on the coastal path. She is not a big fan of such endeavours with knees that have befuddled the finest NHS consultants. But after much moaning,groaning and gnashing of false teeth we made it to this farming idyll. Lovely cake and cans of pop assuaged her whining. We set back off recharged and although we stopped constantly for clothing alterations and nose blowing (honk honk ) we returned to the streets of salcombe in triumph. I would encourage all of you with older partners to push them (not literally) to test themselves and rage against ageing. We are the proof it works and now she has earned her tea which I will pay for .

The most delicious sandwiches in Salcombe!

Delicious food and one of the best cheese and onion pastys and very good staff

A nice little dog-friendly bar and restaurant which serves a nice breakfast. The outside decking is a good place to sit with your furry companion.

Wonderful family hotel. The staff were all excellent & the Hotel & location is perfect 🤩

Everything about our meal was exceptional

We recently visited Salcombe Dairy and were absolutely delighted! The ice cream was rich, creamy, and full of flavour with a wide variety of flavours to choose from —easily some of the best we’ve had. While we were there, we noticed the Easter egg decorating workshop and decided to let the children join in. They had an absolute blast! It was such a fun, creative experience and really well-organised. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Between the delicious ice cream and the engaging Easter activity, it was a perfect outing for the whole family. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area—especially around the holidays when they run these kinds of events!

Such lovely staff and delicious food, and if you’re there on a pizza night, definitely recommend. Perfect place to eat.

Lovely friendly cafe, they were so helpful and accommodating with offering to do different food for my Dad who is on a special diet. Great toastie/sandwich and coffee would definitely recommend. Great kind customer service, thank you.

Although we’ve been coming to this area for years we’d never explored Bolberry. We stumbled across Oceans Restaurant during a dog walk and stopped for an excellent lunch. So nice we booked for dinner a couple of nights later and we’ve just returned from a lovely meal, probably the nicest evening out we’ve had for a long time. Excellent food, lovely setting, great service. We will certainly return and highly recommend.

We've been coming here for six years. The staff were always very friendly and the food excellent. Not any more ! Under new ownership, there has now been no food at all for several months and the staff are often off-hand. To make it worse, the Old Inn website still claims that food is served and even gives a sample menu. The pub's facebook group, which has frequent updates from the new management, states "... high quality homecooked food sourced locally." And there are posters either side of the front door proclaiming that food is available !

Really good pizza along with great service, and the location around it makes it a great meal out, definitely recommending it!

Amazing coffee and flapjack as a lovely snack. Fabulous view over the salcombe estuary. Will most definitely be returning :)

The way the owner spoke to the customers sat next to us recently was awful and we were made feel somewhat uncomfortable. This ruined our experience which was a shame. Could have been dealt with very differently. Not nice to witness. Food was good when it arrived. Upstairs/downstairs menu is confused.
