The best restaurants in Salcombe and Malborough South Hams South West

A lovely way to celebrate my Granddaughter’s 18th Birthday - fine dining and good service with a celebratory cake to round things off. The view from the restaurant is amazing and added to the ambience of the meal.

I went here for a family birthday and the woman who served us was so RUDE! She said to my husband that he SHOULDNT BE EATING IN A PLACED LIKE THIS. And because i took the service charge off because i wanted to tip the waiter in cash before i could ever do that she started criticising MY HUSBAND and saying that we was not good customer and shouldnt eat here because of the people we are we are never eat here again and i do not appreciate the staff at all

Great setting - we could watch the racing in the estuary and look out to sea. Went for drinks as we were staying with friends in the town, so had no parking problems. You need to sign in as a guest from another sailing club. The bar had a decent range of beers, and we noticed there was food available - so I had a delicious half-pint of prawns, and the others had whitebait and one had soup. Well-presented food. If there is any complaint it's that the menu is delivered from a database that can';t offer an order of bread. The bread with the soup was excellent, and we tried to order some more to go with the other food, and were told it was not possible. Looks like the machines are taking over!

Definitely the best Vegetarian Breakfast. Served all day . Excellent value and great coffee. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Don’t forget to browse their shop as well . A veritable Aladdin’s Cave.

Very nice - quite amusing how everyone waits in the street for orders to come out. really nice food. Four of us ate 3 cod and two large portions of chips.

We stopped here for an evening meal before seeing the Field of Light exhibit and had a lovely meal. The service and food options were very good and we were made to feel welcome,

Lots of ice cream flavours to choose from and they are all delicious especially the sorbets and lots of tables and chairs for people to sit and big space. Lovely

I agree with alot of the negative reviews. I have gone to the cafe for about 20 years and it has so gone downhill. Staff generally are not customer focussed and friendly and take customers for granted. They are inattentive and slow. They are not doing us a favour attending, we are the customers. There are plenty of other places where people ear and you are loosing custom.

Very friendly staff who took a lot of trouble to ensure I was well catered for despite my gluten allergy. The food was very good too, with large portions. We would go again.

Best pub garden in Salcombe but if the weathers not good then inside it’s cosy and traditional. Have never found the staff anything but friendly and polite and especially Steve the manager who never seems to stop and yet still has time for a chat. There can be a wait for food when it’s busy but you’re in Salcombe so just chill and who cares when the view is this good!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve eaten here as a customer, and it was as delightful as I remember. Excellent service from Luke & team, an excellent menu and a great vibe in the dining area made up for it. All four of our meals were first class and it was a joy to return. Great to see that while things may have changed quite a bit in Salcombe, the King’s Arms is as good as ever!

I booked 2 nights for friends online, i had some simple questions about parking and accessibility but couldn't get hold of anyone to answer my questions so i cancelled. I cancelled nearly 1 month before the cut off for a full 100% refund ( clearly stated in their contract when booking) . I then spent nearly 2 months calling, emailing, leaving voicemails to get my money back - they ignored every one. In the end I had to claim the money back via my bank. If my bank hadnt stepped in and help, this establishment would have stolen over £400 from me. I am writing to hopefully sway others and stop them doing the same to others

Had evening dinner here a few times, as part of a stay at the hotel. The food and friendly service each night were excellent. It is particularly good for fish/seafood. Thanks go to all involved.
