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 :)

Came out here on Saturday night for our sons 40th birthday party. Altogether there was 10 of us. What a great night. From start to finish all the staff were excellent and we all had a great time. The food was pre ordered and all the food was excellent value and tasty. Drinks were brought to the table and nothing was to much trouble for the staff. We also had desserts which were also good value and tasty. A big thankyou to all the staff at Dartbridge Inn for making a great night they were all amazing.

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.

We are regular customers of this restaurant and can never find any fault in anything they do. Brilliant, freshly cooked food, piping hot and quickly turned around with friendly service. Always upfront and honest when it’s busy. Amazing family run business which always goes above and beyond when they can to do the best for their customers. Some of the recent reviews are absolutely unjustified and definitely not representative of the restaurant I’ve been frequenting for many years. Trust me when I say to ignore any irritated, ignorant, entitled recent reviews.

Best Indian takeaway in the area without doubt and beats the local restaurants too. Always good food, excellent service. Highly recommend.

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!!

We stopped for a drink on our way to Cornwall and thought this place is a real gem of a pub. We loved the garden area and the interior is amazing with very friendly bar staff.

Stopped off for a drink after walking the local woodland. Lovely, friendly staff, great location right on the river, can imagine it would be lovely on a warm summer evening. The pub itself was lovely. Ended up having a simple brie and cheese baguette, but it was lovely served with a side salad and crisps. Would highly recommend a visit 😊 Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay but if the pub itself is anything to go by I wouldn't hesitate to book a room.

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.

We felt that the product range had diminished as had the offerings at the meat counter. It all felt like it needed brightening up. We are in the deli and my pork and apple pie was oversized, rather dry and there was little evidence of apple. The carrot salad was lovely but the green salad had certainly seen better days. Although their Christmas Shop purported to be open there was little sign of it. My husband had a very weak pot of tea. However the young and tall woman on the till was a ray of sunshine.

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.
