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.

We've been very happy on Thursday's steak night, we really like the cooking (charcoal grill-like) of good quality meats and at a very fair price - after choosing the meat you can add what you like, paying a small amount to basically get the stuff you want and not pay for things you don't like as much. Good beer, good service and friendly atmosphere 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!

Had a lovely stay with my husband at Gara Rock. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and the hotel was modern and clean throughout. We ate dinner in the A la carte restaurant and the food was delicious. I booked in for a massage with the therapist Sophie and it was the best massage I have ever had! Highly recommend booking in for a treatment with her. They also don’t rush you out after checkout and guests are welcome to use the spa facilities until departure.

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!

I loved this pub. We walked from Salcombe and it was well worth it (don't worry, you can drive there too). It had the feel of a genuine pub with some good beers that happened to do great food also. I had possibly the best burger I have had in a long time and my wife had a fantastic steak sandwich. Both were freshly prepared scratch. They have vegan options too. I notice some negative reviews, mostly due to poor service. We arrived at 12 noon on a weekday in October. Even so, the place was full by the time we left, so it is clearly a popular place. The service we experienced was without fault. I hope our experience is the norm.
