The best restaurants in Saltstone South Hams South West

An absolute pleasure to find this little family pizza place! In the middle of nowhere we have found it on the way from our coastal walk with kids and really enjoyed the delicious pizza as well as friendly atmosphere. Even our picky eaters have been arguing over the last slice. Would definitely be back if we ever get near that place.

Great wagyu burgers whatever the time of day! Fantastic friendly service by someone so enthusiastic about burgers. Not normally a burger fan but these... other worldly. I am yet to try the Halloumi burgers but I'm sure they are also awesome.

Best French fries I've ever eaten! 🤗 The gammon was quite good too!

Reopens next year after renavation

Incredible joint of Beef, we drove out on a Sunday morning and spoke to Alex on the butchery who gave us brilliant advice on the best cut of beef for a nice medium cook, we came away with a lovely piece of Topside for two people. After this we went to Tesco and out of curiosity I checked how much this cut of meat was from there and was surprised to see it was the same price per kilo! I can honestly say it was the best Beef I have ever purchased and we will certainly be coming back often if not weekly. Alex also gave advice on cooking times and was spot on. Could not recommend any higher!

The roads are a nightmare to get there but it's worth it. We had a three bed apartment and brought the dog with us. We had a day walking to salcombe on the coastal path and took the ferry over to the town. Lost a star because of restaurant menu policy - Only downside is they won't let you mix the menus in the restaurant, if you want the tasting menu but the kids don't you'd have to sit in different places (apparently because they come from different kitchens - but they are next to each other so I just think you go all that way and it's something they could do but have a weird policy. Missed out on extra revenue because we ended up only having the bar menu instead of the tasting and wine)

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch on the Terrace earlier this week. The sourdough pizza was delicious with wholesome toppings. Also enjoyed a Greek salad which made the perfect pairing with the pizza! All the staff were very friendly during our visit, clearing plates promptly and attending to us throughout our visit. The reception team even advised us on the East Portlemouth ferry to Salcombe, which was great customer service especially as we were not staying at the hotel.

Booked before we came on holiday and started to feel a bit nervous as some reviews mentioned they weren't very welcoming to tourists, well I don't know where they were but not here for sure. Had the warmest welcome from the start, staff were lovely and food exactly what we hoped for, Sunday Roast was perfect. Tender pork, crispiest roast potatoes ever, tons of tasty gravy and cauliflower cheese that actually tasted of cheese! Loved it all and somehow found room for the dark chocolate tart with raspberry sorbet WOW!

We had high hopes. The pub was busy for lunch and we had booked a table in the covered area outside. There was one person behind the bar and about 10 people waiting, we were also told by the single waiting staff that we had to queue again to mKe our order because they didn’t have time to take orders at the table. We ordered (eventually) and sat at our table in a very unappealing outside covered area. Two table there had ordered after us but got their food before us. When we raised this with the waiter (in case they had missed our order), he was not apologetic and very dismissive. He told us that different food takes different time to cook (despite the fact that we had ordered mussels which the other tables had ordered too). He then came back and told us that we’d ordered half an hour before and that was not a problem. Not necessarily untrue, but not very smart or friendly either. When the food came the mussels were cold and the kids burgers were pretty awful. I tried to go and get another drink at the bar and gave up - the queue was just too much. We found out subsequently that they had had a big party the night before and a local suggested that most of the staff were a bit hungover so not many had turned up to work. I’ve no idea whether this is true. I wonder whether our waiter was just annoyed at having to work on his own - fair enough, but surely his irritation should be directed at the management rather than customers? Sadly we couldn’t recommend it.
