The best restaurants in Moorland Teignbridge South West

really nice food, especially the chips, but the batter on the fish was too crispy and the curry saucy was runny and tasteless. has great seating options of benches right by the river so was really nice!!

Was with a group of 6 cyclists. Service and food were just what we needed mid ride. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Thank you

Great traditional pub, food was lovely. Fresh and excellent quality. Lots of parking.

Great atmosphere and good selection of meals on the menu. Good quality food and excellent service and attention. Very friendly staff with customer care. Our grandson enjoyed dining with us as he was given crayons and pictures to colour in while waiting for the meals and drinks. The waiter James was particularly excellent, he had a good attitude with our grandson and made friends supplying him with his favourite pictures of cars to colour in as well as always looking after our requirements.

Bovey Castle is certainly a beautiful and interesting location. However, with all their grounds parking spaces are a premium. Eventually, we were offered a space in a coned off area. A very well appointed building as your would expect for a Five Star Hotel. We began with an aperitif 'Gusbourne English Sparkling' which was superb. A absolutely delightful bar. Smith's Brasserie! Well, let's begin with the positives. Excellent welcome and staff were fantastic throughout our Birthday lunch. Extremely unimaginative menu to say the least. A nice enough starter. Perhaps would have expected freshly made mayonnaise, not from a bottle, in such an establishment. Pleasant enough bottle of rose, although there was a choice of ONE. My wife (Birthday Girl) and I opted for pasta dishes. Absolutely clueless when it comes to pasta dishes. Packet spaghetti with prawns (four small ones) and a Provencal sauce? Very little of it too. It is an Italian dish and the sauce requires mixing in the pasta. Tagliatelle, again from a packet, with some type of utterly non-descript cream sauce at the bottom of the dish. Totally unseasoned dishes. The cooking water needs to taste of the sea. Therefore, seasoned. No offer of cheese or pepper or pangrattato, nothing, and certainly no theatre. Huge improvements required I'm afraid to make an enjoyable dining experience. Dress Code: Expectations, as you would imagine were high. Staff were smart, but could have been better attired for such a hotel. Clientele: Lots of jeans and un-ironed tee shirts wondering around and dining. A pair of football shorts and dirty trainers at one table, others with feet on the chairs in the bar and the final straw was a couple arriving in towelling dressing gowns and flip flops. NO! Sorry. There's a time and a place and this is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this was a lunch to judge if a weekend stay would be appropriate for our anniversary and it simply is not good enough.
