The best restaurants in West Devon South West

Walked in around 12.30 with my husband on a Saturday afternoon, stood by the counter where 3 member's of staff were supposedly working, we waited for what seemed like ages, but in reality around 3 to 4 minutes, not one of those 3 member's of staff made eye contact or acknowledged us in any way. Both my husband and I felt very awkward so we promptly left. What on earth is wrong with these people? All it takes is a smile and a quick we will be right with you, but not to even welcome your guests/customers is so rude and certainly not hospitable. So I would like to say to all 3 of those ladies, you really need to revaluate, and seriously consider if a job in hospitality is the right job for you, if the answer is yes then please get yourself some training quickly!!!

Luxurious Stay - We stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful hotel which is modern with a relaxing and homely feel. The rooms were immaculate, our breakfast was waiting for us in the dining room each morning , and was both excellent quality and plentiful. We will definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

We stopped for tea and cake! The cakes were excellent and seemed great value. The breakfast menu looking inviting and good value. We may return? YMMV

What an amazing place, over the last year I've tried all the cafes in tavistock and this is by far the best. Home cooked food at its best, the quiches and cakes are to die for. They use local ingredients to support other local businesses which is really important to me. If you're taking the kids then the grazing platters are brilliant. The coffee is fantastic, and you get a proper sized cup. The little things really add up here and it's cracking value for the taste and quality of the food.

This restaurant was popular, but,being quite small, has CLOSED at this spot, but HAS MOVED to FORE STREET about 300 yards to the East, near the East Okement River, and its name has changed to " The Allotment ", as it uses food all supplied locally. I highly recommend it for a smiley welcome & good wholesome food. Now sells jams & preserves.

Amazing!!!! Food and service is always 5*. We are regular customers and wouldn’t go anywhere else for dinner. All reasonably priced and a lovely atmosphere with super helpful and friendly staff.

As foodies we were looking forward to trying this bakery as it has such consistently good reviews, the sandwich we had was freshly made on their very tasty sourdough, the cheese had a nice bite but overall it was a little dry possibly because the fennel chutney was quite sparse. I’m sure if we had gone back the very helpful ladies would have sorted that but we were walking and about 5 miles away when we stopped to eat it. There is no doubting the quality of the food, as you would expect at £7.50 for a sandwich, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return but maybe ask for just a little more of the chutney next time.

Found this amazing farm last year. That time we had a tour around the farm, cider tasting, home made scones and coffee. The tour was fantastic. Really enjoyed and learnt so much about running a small business, how cider is made and historical facts and legends. Well worth a trip. On that occasion we purchased lots (and I mean lots) of assorted ciders. We returned, with empty bottles this year and replenished our cupboards. Great to support a small business and great tasting cider.

Good flavour to all the the dishes the four of us had but 3/4 left hungry. The prawn starter is a joke. 3 frozen prawns with a smidge of soy sauce - where was the rest of it?! The cheese starter is huge by comparison. The duck main was the size of a starter. The crackling was ok but gone in the blink of an eye. All of us had three courses and filled up on toast when we got home.

Had a wonderful lunch at The Oxenham. We have eaten here many times and keep coming back because we are never disappointed. The food was exceptional, very good value and the lovely Fran was very welcoming and could not have looked after us any better. I always have the steak because I cant get a better one anywhere else. We will return as soon as we can.

Friendly service but the food itself wasn't the best. Stringy undercooked bacon, four tiny overcooked fried potatoes, far too many cheap beans,. The egg was nice and the sausage was ok. Expensive for what it was though and the noise of the fridge was so loud, maybe give the grid on the fan a clean as it was covered in fluff and dust.

Finally a coffee got for coffee divas like us! Oat flat white made properly. Nice people - and pleasant people watching from outside table in The Arcade!

Nothing to fault. Staff were lovely and so was the coffee. Prices are very reasonable. Clothes to browse too. Very clean. Will definitely return if in the area.

It's certainly not much of a service area (overgrown grassy area and a few picnic tables) but at least the toilets were clean and, also, there was The Currant Bun catering truck. On offer were tempting snacks (sausage, bacon, egg baps, burgers, chips) and I was served by an extremely friendly lady who couldn't do enough to make sure I got what I wanted. Just the thing to fill that empty hole after driving up from Cornwall.

Best ice cream in UK. And one of the best ice cream in Europe. Nothing more to say really - it is that simple. If you like and chase good quality food products you should make that effort and go to Chagford to try their ice cream. The village is also a nice spot to go to. It is located on top of a hill.
