The best restaurants in South Hams South West

We had an evening meal as well as breakfast in the river restaurant, excellent service and food, highly recommend.

The Crabshell has a warm and very welcoming feel about it. Our waitress, Rosie, was amazing, so friendly and very helpful in making our choices. She was very attentive without over-fussing , in checking throughout our meal that everything was OK. Rosie definitely added to the enjoyment and success of our evening.

Very busy but sta exceptionally fast at serving friendly

Lovely place for a drink outside by the river. Drinks a bit pricey, apart from the beers which are good. Not huge variety. Staff good and not too long waiting times.

Called in for a drink whilst on holiday in the area one evening - unable to order a taxi as no one about (no Uber either) and buses had stopped running - big thank you to Clare - (hope I spelt name correctly ), behind the bar for helping us find someone to take us back to our campsite- another big thank you Riddell Executive Cars for the ride!

This place used to be so good, the food used to be amazing, today was the first time I've been back for well over a year, we ordered the roast dinner, and let me tell you that this meal was the worst roast I’ve ever had, the potatoes were dry with no flavour, the vegetable were so hard, I nearly broke my tooth, the cauliflower cheese was absolutely disgusting, such a shame, as this place used to serve such amazing meals, I would never go back and eat here again now

The Mountain inn - Lutton Only went in for drinks on a weekend afternoon with a few friends, pub was relatively quiet, however the barman couldn’t be any ruder, when coming to a local but otherwise new pub to me I don’t expect to feel unwelcome when asking if we can “order a few drinks” for the reply to be “well that is what the bar is here for” which was served with a blunt-non jokingly manner. I wasn’t born yesterday and I do understand what a bar is and its purpose, so cheers for clarifying. Other than that, The drinks selection was good, and other staff (perhaps land lady?) were more accommodating, however the introduction to this pub unfortunately means I wouldn’t come back for another, it’s a shame because the pub itself is really nice.

Lovelly pub, great ales and good service , food looked good too...no WiFi.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. Food was excellent. Great room. Lovely and quiet and very comfortable. Wishing the staff good luck on their upcoming refurbishment. See you again soon x

Lovely fresh menu. Faultless genuine service

My husband and i and our dog arthur were treated as part of the community at this fantastic pub a true community gem! Staff were beyond fantastic..huge shout out to poppy and scarlett who looked after us and the silliness of arthur..cant recomend enough !!

Great location and view across to Dartmouth. Good beer selection

We had the specials and we loved them. I had the sea bass and it was great. Highly recommended

Great choice of menu. Four of us went to celebrate an 80th Birthday on 5th Match and going back on the 12th March to celebrate my sister in law's birthday.

It's a very pleasant location and a very nice pub to sit inside or out and look at the river. What let's it down is the QR code ordering system. The staff either don't know where the table or just seem to not bother. I've been a couple of times recently and experienced this. Shame
