The best restaurants in Moorland Teignbridge South West

Very nice lunch. The mushroom cream soup was exquisite. Nice mac and cheese and the panini were yummy. Good service

A lovely little cafe in the heart of Moretonhampstead. I enjoyed a latte and toasted tea cake in the sunny garden. Friendly helpful staff.

Terrific new place which both sells a large range of interesting wines and which has a few tables where you can enjoy a drink and snack. We enjoyed excellent local lager accompanied by fantastic Devon jamon. Convivial atmosphere and friendly service.

Another amazing evening at the Gateway. We were excited to try Sam's Taste of the Far East and it didn't disappoint in fact it was probably our favourite meal at the Gateway yet. The atmosphere was lovely and we felt spoilt throughout the evening. The flavours were fabulous and the presentation was another 6 star. If you haven't been then you should get on the mailing list and book for there next pop up.

Awful experience! So much angry tension in the kitchen between the older Italian owner and his younger male staff! The way the older Italian spoke to the younger man was pretty horrendous and in full view of the restaurant. (Not that speaking to someone like that behind closed doors is better of course!) Hair found in the Pizza and I do generally question the hygiene in this place! Bleugh!!

Friendly staff, good food, good beer, attractive beer garden and a great setting. All a good country pub should be!

Wonderful cafe in the middle of Dartmoor. Quite a surprise to find somewhere like this. Really good food and service.

Family meal, Very good service , wines by the glass and ales, non alcoholic options. Pizza options for vegetarians too Salads and dressings freshly made Sharing platters , the antipasto was very good value Highly recommended

Awesome hotel inn with great value rooms and hot breakfast included.

Avoid like plague! They will kick an entire family out and not honour bookings even though restaurant is empty! Awful awful service from the moody lady serving at the bar. I know that service around Devon is hit and miss but her attitude is some of the worst I’ve ever seen her in my life and I’ve seen a lot of bad service. So here’s my experience at this place today Tuesday 1st of March: I called at 15:54 and proceeded to leave a voicemail with my booking as there was no answer. I said we will arrive around 17:30/17:40, we are a family of 6 (2 adults, 2 children, 2 babies). I figured it’s a Tuesday and booking a dinner at 17:30 not exactly busy. 2 days prior I walked in the pub and asked hours of operation and the nice young guy there told me Tuesday supper should be easy and can call during the day, I don’t need to call days in advance. I then proceed to drive for 1 hour and 15 minutes to this place. I get there 17:30 start walking towards the pub, I see a young couple in the garden eating. I then walk in, apart from 1 other person the place was totally EMPTY…just like you would expect on a Tuesday at 17:30! I look around for someone but there was nobody there so I proceed to walk to the bar. Behind the bar the lady I was mentioning, she was serving a couple at the bar having some drinks. I then ask her politely “excuse me, who do I need to talk to about a reservation at the restaurant?”. She answers back snarky “me once im done here”. I’m like oh wow she’s really in a good mood. I wait for a few minutes she then walks behind the bar to her computer. She asks me if I have a reservation, i then tell her I called an hour and a half ago and left a voicemail. She replies saying oh I haven’t got any voicemails and just looks at the phone on wall without checking or anything like that. Obviously she was totally bs’ing me. She then asks how many people and when. I say now and we are 2 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. She says “we are too busy we have a local dinner / local event tonight and only 1 chef we don’t have space.” I reply back “but I booked the place by leaving a voicemail, the restaurant is now empty (surely this event is not at 5:30pm???) and I drove over an hour with 4 hungry children to come here”. I even showed her the phone number I dialled in my phone and she confirmed it’s the right one. She then looks me straight in the eye and says “sorry…I can book you for dinner tomorrow” and proceeds to walk back to the bar. Great service right? Now I go back to the car and as my wife got all the kids out i tell her to put everyone back in. Obviously everyone screaming and hungry so have to find new place for dinner. I then drove for 10 minutes to nearby Bovey Castle (thank god this place is nearby) who had no trouble offering us dinner without a booking. If the owner sees the message I would appreciate if you could leave some contact details. This type of behaviour from staff is totally unacceptable and owner needs to be aware of it!

Excellent Sunday carvery despite the pub being very busy. The bar lady was exceptionally lovely especially to our kids, again even though she was rushed off her feet. Really great Sunday lunch experience.

What an incredible place! We visited for a night away and I just we’d had longer there. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, set in beautiful surroundings but the overall vibe and the service are what makes it. For a 5 star spot it’s the perfect balance of luxury but still very laid back and not stuffy or snooty in the slightest. The rooms are beautiful and cosy and have everything you could need. There’s so much to do-we swam in the pool, walked the grounds and even caught a surprise falconry display. Excellent cocktails and food too-honestly couldn’t fault it and can’t wait to go back.

Stopped for lunch after walking from Lustleigh with a friend on Tuesday 26/3. She had a tasty baguette and I had the most delicious cheesy chips. The service was great, the atmosphere was warm and cosy and the waitress was so welcoming. The cakes looked amazing too. We're planning a return visit soon

Such a shame that it no longer caters for the general public for lunch or a cream tea, we used to visit regularly many years ago, but it seems to only cater for weddings and corporate functions. Won't be back, we will go to two bridges hotel for cream teas.
