The best restaurants in Bovey Teignbridge South West

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant last night, having heard about it in the local press. The food was freshly cooked and imaginative, beautifully presented, and the service was swift and attentive. Maybe the only downside is that the wine list was very limited, but the wine we had was excellent. The setting here is great, but surprisingly the place was far from full. That was good for us, but small independent restaurants need support, so please consider visiting. We'll certainly be back.

Really splendid Sunday Lunch. Interesting and varied menu but could not resist the Devon beef and that was superb- absolutely melted in the mouth. Great selection of vegetables perfectly cooked, great gravy and home made horseradish that knocked your socks off. A lovely space, friendly staff and good wine list. All very reasonably priced - honestly if I lived in the area I would probably visit every week. It deserves to be booked out every week!

Visited for lunch while walking in the area. Opted for the takeaway in the garden. It was fantastic! The salad that came with the ploughmans was amazing, I have never seen so much variety and was spoilt for choice. There was even the option to pair with a cheese scone rather usual bread, I couldn't resist. My husband has the double cream tea which was delicious, generous portions of everything. If we're in the area again we will definitely be back as this is a great find.

The food was great and service was swift or starters came out within 5 minutes of ordering and we were given some complimentary samples which were lovely.

Back in Bovey Tracey after two years. At first disappointed that the coffee wagon was no longer in the Co-op car park but minutes later discovered the sign on the main street and delighted to find it was the same business in a simple welcoming shop space but equipped to make a good range of coffee and hot drinks and selling a tasty complementary selection of pastries etc. Some stools and bench shelves. They also have an arrangement for punters to use the abutting courtyard at the back of the cheese shop next door. Dogs are welcome in both spaces and water and treats freely available. We liked this hospitable and welcoming friendly cafe. All the better because so few places are open in BT on a Monday. Happy to recommend.

YOU GOT IT GOOD. I had chocolate ice cream and it was amazing. There were enough tables, and it was fairly quiet. This place is a lovely spot to come with children. I highly recommend.

2nd visit. Amazing food and service. Great menu , something for everyone. We had a small group reunion and chatted loads. The staff were so patient and we did not feel hurried or that we were a nuisance at all. Thank you for making our reunion so memorable.

What a treat! Lovely decor, lovely atmosphere and fantastic hosts. Table service from extremely friendly landlord. Doesn't serve food but the landlord says all are welcome to bring their own food in. We were made very welcome from the off and comfortable in a great looking friendly pub. Thank you for a nice experience

If you go to Bovey Tracey a visit to Old cottage tea shop is a must. What an absolutely delightful tea room. Old fashioned charm at its best. Good old fashioned menu. It's like having lunch at Grandma's. An absolute must visit.

Great welcome from the staff, really good food although a bit limited on the veggie options. Definitely one to recommend.

Saturday evening food was really delicious Very tasty dishes which are well presented. Good portion size and reasonable prize. Efficient service

Came here today (5/4/25) for lunch. The food came out and it was stunning. The roast beef was excellent. Then a member of staff decided to completely spoil it by standing right beside the table for the whole duration talking to other customers about her "colonoscopy" and various other medical conditions. Couldn't believe it. Won't be entertaining the idea of coming back, no matter how good the food was. This wasn't the lady who served us it was a different waitress. Appalled to be honest.
