The best restaurants in South Hams South West

We were staying in Yealmpton & ordered delivery...its very good, just make sure you have cash...they don't take cards.

We visited on a Friday evening as a group of five, and the manager was great, really friendly, making you feel relaxed and welcomed. Most of us chose burgers or veggie burgers, while one had a gammon steak. For dessert, we had banoffee pie, morello cherry tart, white chocolate rocky road, and lemon meringue pie. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended!

We ate here on Sunday and had a lovely Sunday roast. With this in mind, we decided to book to return the following day. When we arrived, we were told the chefs had gone home as it was quiet! Our booking was at 8:45pm-as this was the only time showing as available when booking online. We did receive confirmation of booking and when we arrived at the restaurant for our allocated time, staff acknowledged they could see our booking. If it was quiet and the chefs wanted to go home early then should contact the customer on the contact number (that must be provided at the time of booking) and ask if it is possible to come in earlier. It is poor customer service not to check you have any more bookings before going home for the night. We were not offered to come back another day nor offered perhaps a complimentary drink for the inconvenience-this would have been a kind gesture and much appreciated.

I went with a group of friends to the so called reggae/dub night, which we had been looking forward to for ages. But we were so disappointed, we left not long after we got there. The energy & vibe is Pure Babylon. As a lover of reggae/steppas/dub/dnb, I was left feeling so let down by the organisers, who clearly don't know what they're doing. Hail to Jah & Rastafari

Fantastic lunch, great service, we will come back!

A great local pub in a lovely location. Good beer. Home made pizzas are excellent. Friendly staff and very dog friendly

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.

I rarely write negative reviews, but only the beer and the view lead to my 2 stars. Told I'd have to have a plastic drinking vessel if I wanted to sit outside. I'm a pensioner. Am I going to glass someone?? The barman relented after my protest. Not a friendly feel at all. Beer well kept, and reasonable pricing.

A very good traditional pub. Felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. Enjoyed my fish which was properly cooked and tasty. It was most enjoyable to look around at the pub itself, seeing how it has changed little over the years, just added to over those years. Kept its character , so welcoming.

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!

Had lunch here today with a friend, used to visit a few years ago but then moved out of the area… firstly the welcome and service were both excellent… the scallop dish with toasted sourdough was the star of my lunch… the herby, garlicky sauce was beautiful… I wish I’d ordered another portion for my main course.. please ask the chef to never change this dish 💕

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!

Just ordered a food for a take way the only gravy is same but the meat is different please don’t try it the worst is the rice u don’t get the worth the money with food my worst experience with Indian restaurant

Ordered from here for many years and until today not had reason to complain. If you have a reason to complain, don’t expect this store to do anything about it…dreadful customer service.
