The best restaurants in South Hams South West

Weve had chinese here a few times and the Food has always been nothing short of amazing, its always fresh, hot and delicious. The crispy chilli beef & beef and red pepper chow mein is so good! the staff are always friendly and helpful on the occasions we’ve been. We actually drive from 15/20 minutes away to get food from here so that says something in itself.

I visited the garden centre with my wife and my 87 year old mother. We enjoyed walking through the centre and browsing. It was nice to be see the Christmas decorations being out up and the displays were lovely to see. We ordered food from the restaurant and we were find there was a 30 min wait on hit food, the food arrived within 10 mins. The food is ok but not cheap, the cakes are ok but nothing special, the staff are welcoming and very helpful.

Having visited Ben's shop a few weeks ago, I went again with my son; this time in the hope of having lunch there. We went to the café at around 12:30 and I asked if I could have a vegetarian pasty and that we would like to eat in. I was told by the lady behind the counter that this wasn't possible because the chef wasn't due to arrive for about 20 minutes. Bearing in mind that the pasties were cooked and there was a small glass oven in sight, I was somewhat confused as to why the pasty couldn't be heated up. More so, as it was lunch time, why there wasn't a chef available. Decided not to have coffee and left. Fou d a lovely café in a village a few miles away in Newton Ferrers. Won't be attempting to have lunch at Ben's Farm Shop again. Very disappointed....

Wanted some quick eats for lunch, so sat in the rear garden. I had green lentil soup and a cheese scone which was delicious, and my partner had jacket potato with egg mayo and beans which was good.

Please, do not confuse The Shambles of Dartmouth is a bar but it’s No.1 on Higher street (in the corner T junction with Smith Street) yes, small place, music and good company See you there xx

So disappointed… Had to pay £6 for the privilege of parking the car. Had booked a table, arrived slightly early and were told we could sit anywhere. Sat on a larger table as had our 2 large dogs with us and needed them to settle under the table. We were then asked to move as we were taking up too much room. No problem, but show us to a table rather than being told to sit wherever we wanted. We put the dogs in the car and went back and sat on a tiny table of two. My chair was tilted backwards in the gravel and it was so uncomfortable. On ordering 2 drinks, we were asked if that was it for the drinks order. My soft drink was served in the unopened can together with a glass. No ice or lemon. My food was very overpriced for 2 slices of bread, mozzarella, cheese sauce, couple of slices of salami and a small handful of rocket with a drizzle of Balsamic. The crusts of the bread were black and there was absolutely no taste of fennel as described on the menu. My husband enjoyed his crab linguine, saying it was a shame about everything else. Overall disappointing. Went onto the ice cream parlour just down the road. That was a much more enjoyable experience

You can see from the mixed reviews how people’s experiences have varied so much . We can only speak as we find and for four visits over four years our experiences have been really good. We have been able to pre order and pick ups have always been on time . Fish and chips were admittedly a bit pricey on our latest visit but taste and portion sizes were spot on .

Definitely wouldn’t recommend…unless you want the waiting staff to be picking her spot behind the counter and then making coffees without washing her hands…disgusting🤢

Visited The School House today, they were extremely busy, just the chef and 1 girl FOH….. both were run off their feet. They smiled the whole time, service was great and I didn’t wait. The food was the best food I’ve eaten in a long time, everyone around me were also saying how amazing their food was. Really well done….. I’ll be back soon!

very good food and lots of it. will be back again. the size of the menu is very good especialy the sweet chicken strips.

The food was good to very good, the service super friendly, great for a hotel bar/pub. The interior is conservatively furnished with partly antique furniture, very cosy.

I came for a visit to Langdon court to view as a possible wedding venue with my bridesmaids. We saw the outside and thought it was beautiful. When we arrived the members of staff were smoking outside, we went inside and seated ourselves for an afternoon tea. We waited around 15minutes for someone to come over to serve us which they didn’t. I went to ask if someone would come and take our order which they said they would come over, but I could tell this was reluctantly. 10 minutes later no one had come over so we decided that we would leave due to VERY poor service. On our way out we tried again to gain someone attention by saying thank you, but the two ladies at the reception did not even turn around to acknowledge us. I can certainly say I will not be getting married here!

We visited the Flavel for the screening of King Lear direct from London. This was superb but the cafe wasn't open when we turned up and we couldn't even get a cup of coffee during the twenty minute break as only alcoholic drinks or two soft drinks were available at the bar. It didn't spoil our evening but we needed the caffiene at the time and couldn't get it

This is a burger bar. There's not a lot more to say. It could be so much better but it isn't. It's just average. One could argues it doesn't pretend to be anything else, but it just strikes us as a missed opportunity. Have a meal at the Victoria opposite and spot the difference

Fuimos para una comida familiar y había una hora de comer oferta para aprovechar. El restaurante tiene un ambiente tranquilo y la comida estaba riquísima, buen servicio amable sin quejas. . Aunque la pizarra 'platos 'buen aspecto pero difícil de comer. Hemos estado antes para tomar un 'pub' con los niños y esta vez el restaurante sólo adultos y fue genial tener una experiencia diferente. Ya tengo ganas de volver.
