The best restaurants in Teignbridge South West

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

Friendly service, chicken kebabs are generous portions, filling and yummy. Would def recommend. Affordable and good value. Thanks for being in Buckfastleigh.

Called in at lunch time, clean and tidy and welcomes dogs. Decent menu, I had a lovely jacket potato filled with tuna and a nice salad garnish including coleslaw. Hubby had ham, egg and chips. Only observation here would be use carved ham not packet, as a slice of packet ham is slightly disappointing. The prices were very reasonable and the young lady serving was very pleasant

Brought my parents here for a wine safari - was a brilliant experience right from the minute we booked. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. There is so much space around, you don’t feel crammed in at all. The wine tasting was good fun and the food was amazing. Would thoroughly recommend

Fish and chips sign outside is unclear of advertised price as rubbed away from window. Fish and chips soggy and a weird taste to the batter

Had a really delicious meal at this restaurant -very good value for money and lovely service. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and the view was gorgeous

Pass by the chain coffee shops and pop in here. Based in the market. Serves great local coffee and all the cakes and lunches are homemade. Family run business. Great friendly staff.

Thank you to Freya, Marissa and all the staff for making a difficult day better. You were all so kind and courteous to everyone and it was all so well organised.The pub was warm and cosy and the buffet was delicious.

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!!

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!

We ordered a large takeaway, got served a half a lager while we waited, on the house. While we left, with a large takeawy, my friens dropped the entire takeaway outide the restaurant. They didnt have to replace it, it was 50 yards down the road when it happened. But they insisited they replaced it all. They were very honest. And the food was the best i ever tasted. Thank you!

Small restaurant that also does "takeaway" (on the other side)... Little lady of a certain age served us, very friendly, smiling and patient!! On the other hand, be careful, because they close quite early, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening!! So as a Frenchman, it feels weird...😅 But we didn't feel like we were being kicked out!! 😁👍 Very good fish and chips!! Restaurant recommended by Steven from Shaldon!! Thanks again!!!

Lovely food, always friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Been several times.

I came here with my son.Lovely food,lovely people,and great service.We'll definitely be coming here again!

My wife and I are trying to get round as many different local pubs as we can at the weekends. This one was on our list today. It's right out in the sticks so it's not unfair to say that we went out of our way to get here. We were met with a sign on the gated car park across the road that says "we do not cater for walk ins". I cannot think of a more unfriendly way to run a pub. We turned around and left before even entering and we will not be returning. If my money is not welcome there then we will take it elsewhere. We went down the road to the Coppa Dolla which offered a much, much friendlier atmosphere. This would have been our 546th new pub, and I can honestly say that I have never seen such an unwelcoming place. With the Coppa Dolla just round the corner, there is no need to visit the Church House at Torbryan.
