The best restaurants in Goodrington-with-Roselands Torbay South West

Saturday 11th November. 18 degrees, sunshine and blue sky. So managed to get a lovely ice cream from here as well as drinks, (lovely hot chocolate) and a festive sausage roll - which felt strange in the warmth, Lol. Perfect food, ice cream and drinks.

Tables were sticky,so i asked staff to wipe it down but they were still sticky even after they had! ordered the prawn salad,paid for it then was told 5 minutes later they had no prawns i was really disapointed and wondered why it was so hard to have enough prawns in the kitchen. so i asked for just the salad that was a very sad dish hardly any salad for £13.95 with bits of the end of an onion maybe they had run out of onions as well? i had ( instead of the missing hard to find prawns ) olives and bread, the olives was just cheap nasty black olives and not that many and a larger small dish of way too much cheap olive oil, bread was ok though Staff looked bored & unfriendly and the place was empty,they turned another two customers away saying they did not have what they ordered either,the owner/chef/cook/manager or what ever he is looked like he really did not wont to be at work running his buiness on a sunday at 2pm maybe he was just having a bad day but it put me in a mood spoilt my visit i would not reccomend to my friends and family it was a waste of our time and money My partner had the monkfish and chips which he has renamed gonkfish as it wasnt anything special and the chips were frozen for 15.95 it was hardly value for our money. We decided to visit the sea shack as the reviews seemed pretty good however our experience was nothing like what was stated

Good customer service, great outdoor location perfect to bring along the dog. Food OK, but cauliflower bowl, with jerk chicken was burned. Good food, just burnt, I think perhaps due to it being very busy.

Service was amazing highly recommended will definitely be returning with the rest of the family

Nice location, friendly service but awful coffee - tasted like hot milk and water.

Location was excellent and rooms were very good but I've marked the service down because of the restaurant. Service was below what I expected. Empty plates left on the tables and debris on the floor. I Had to prompt the waiting staff more than once. The food was good so no complaints there.

Didn't get to stop here for fish and chips 🍟 but in the past probably the best I've ever had to eat

Been there 4 or 5 times staff are very friendly and helpful food is really good so will be paying it another visit ty to the new management team ty from RAB %PAT

Vile!! Poor service, attitude, barely touched it, meat was tough, rice was dry. Never again 😒 was disgusting. Wish I cooked at home , massively gone down hill

Apart from visiting to see the animals the restaurant is my only second reason to visit

Kabab last night, meat was just about warm, last night’s idea of salad was lettuce and onions, not a tomato, cucumber or chilli in sight.

Just eaten a takeaway from Alan's takeaway. Very tasty. No issues and compared well with places in Birmingham. Prices were slightly higher than some but definitely not expensive.

Visited on Wednesday morning and had 2 breakfast baps and a sausage for our dog Dylan which was 80pence . Good quality food and a perfect view of Goodrington . It was such a pity it was closed on Friday morning .

Friendly staff on entry given a tracker device to tell me when my order was ready, not sure why when there were only 2 of us in the place on a week day night an hour into opening time. The order didn’t take long, the alert on the tracker didn’t go off until my order was served up bagged & on the counter ready to take away. Good service you may think but clearly not when I got home & saw the state of the food !! Large chips ….. I beg to differ chips were hardly warm & I only live within 3 min drive from the shop. They looked burnt or if they had been open at lunch time I’d have said reheated they were just awful. It was at the start of the evening either The worse food I’ve tasted in a long while needless to say will not be returning & wouldn’t recommend. Food in the bin should have taken a picture first.

When we arrived we sat in the garden as we had a dog with us. Trying to work out how to get a ticket for the car park was very confusing. We had to go next door to the Premier Inn and they got us a QR code. We had to go and look for menus as there wasn't any in sight. After choosing what we wanted I headed inside to place the order for the family. I waited in a queue for around 6-7 minutes only for the member of staff behind the till tell me that this line was for drinks only. So I then had to line back up again in another line. They then told me it's a 45-50 minute wait for food. I placed the order and went back outside to join the family. Once I sat down I could smell something, well I knew what it was by the smell, dog droppings, right next to where we were sat. We then had to move tables as it stank as it was a boiling hot day, which meant I had to go back inside to tell them we had moved. We moved into the covered area and sat down, only to have to move once again as 2 people were sat at the table next to us with their feet on the seats smoking! Even though a big sign above them said NO SMOKING. When the food came it was alright, but nothing to shout about. We then had to go and get our own cutlery, napkins & sauces - what a faff! Then when we left I had to go back to the Premier Inn and ask how to 'log out' of the car park as it's free for 3 hours for customers. I tried to use the QR code but it said it has already been used, so that was annoying. I had to as their receptionist for help - she had to go into the pub and get a new QR code for me - let's hope I don't get a parking ticket due to their incompetence with regards to parking, tickets & QR codes
