The best restaurants in Ashburton and Buckfastleigh Teignbridge South West

Very nice pastries and some of the best coffee I have had in a long time! The people who owned it were very nice- we hope to come back for pizza one day :)

Great value for money compared to local competitors but no excuse for the poor steak served recently. Sorry but I really could not risk my dental work! The last time we used your restaurant it was the fish that disappointed; there always seems to be something which stops a 5 star review. First class serving staff and prompt service, albeit on a quiet day. Does diners’ feedback get back to the kitchen? If we comeback we must reluctantly li it our expectations. Shouldn’t do this but you are convenient.

Excellent coffee and friendly service. Recommended for a visit for all day brunch menu. Just started doing very good pizzas.

Excellent food. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Served by Maddie who was a star. Homemade tray bakes were delicious. Highly recommended.

The place wasn’t as clean as one would hope to find it, and the food on both visits was utterly awful: tasteless, overpriced, very clearly microwaved, haphazard, thoughtless etc etc. A bacon bap or sausage roll from Spar is significantly more tasty, filling and worthwhile.

Contrary to the previous review…. This couldn’t be a better Chinese. I’ve dined here twice this week!! The owners are currently on holiday and the lady running it in their absence is an absolute delight!! I ordered a crispy chilli chicken extra spicy, extra saucy and no carrot and while it was explained to me that the current cooking team speak very little English and are understaffed they managed to achieve every edit!! It’s a shame reviews like the previous one arrive on Google because they can’t fathom that there are other things going on in the world that aren’t a direct influence on their life!! Please if you order from any food outlet or hospitality business be concious that there are million other things going on behind the scenes and while these people make a living from cooking for you and serving you! They also do it in kitchens that rise to over 60 degrees heats and because they love to make other people happy!! I couldn’t recommend Yau’s anymore than this!! A fellow chef and restaurateur!!

had tandoori grill...lots of various meats chucked in a box...the rice was tired and dry even the poppadom was tired . sorry not for me or my wife. never again!

We were staying at Buckfast Abbey and as they weren't serving dinner we went for a takeaway. We ordered deep fried squid, special chow mein and satay king prawns. We asked for no MSG and the chef pointed out that the BBQ sauce in the Chow Mein had a little, which we were happy with. All the dishes were piping hot and really tasty with loads of meat and veg. A superb Chinese takeway in a place you wouldn't naturally expect one to be. Minus one star for only taking cash, no excuse not to take cards.

After two visits we will not bother again. The landlord is rude and completely uncommunicative, one syllable answers. His attitude is one of owning his business outright he doesn’t need to bother! No food, no accommodation but could be a fabulous little place if effort wasn’t made with it! Only good thing to say is the music was excellent!!

A review could hardly do justice to this lovely place.

My daughter and I arrived just after 6pm and checked into our room, then went straight to the bar for a pre-dinner and drink. The food was a good standard but the service was poor. I had to go up to the bar to order a drink. We then went back to our room and my daughter had a shower only to find a ladybug infestation on the ceiling and some dropping to the floor. I had to go down to reception in my pyjamas as there was no way of contacting reception from our room. I had to walk through the restaurant and bar to speak to someone. After a brief chat amongst the staff a strange man offered to ‘vacuum up the ladybugs’. I declined this offer and asked for another room. The only room available for my adult daughter and myself was a very small and shabby double room. Having no other choice we went to bed. There was no apology for putting us in a bug infested room and no offer of compensation or refund for transferring us to an inferior room to the one we paid for. The whole experience was unpleasant and we would definitely not go back there again.

Came in here yesterday for drinks for my birthday... Decent little place.. Decent larger... And friendly staff... Very Good...

I went to the grange for a nice Sunday roast with my family and most of us came back sad disappointed and a bit angry. The potatoes were hard and what seems to be Stale the vegetables were near inedible. I will say the meat was really nice but what really made us all sad and disappointed the kitchen staff were really rude. Other than young lady on the till a couple others. Safe to say I won’t be going back in a rush and definitely will not recommend to others.

Unfortunately this is the most unfriendly farm shop I’ve ever visited. People staring and no smiles. It put me off purchasing anything. At least the customers were nice. I wouldn’t go again.

I believe this pub was recently sold off by Heavitree after many years of neglect. I'm not sure they do food yet but I was very impressed by the lady behind the bar (Kelly?). She knows her job and has a very good rapport with the customers. We'll be going again.
