The best restaurants serving British food in South Hams South West

Thursday is steak night and we had rump steak with all the trimmings for two with a bottle of wine for £40! Delicious - what’s not to like! Very friendly and welcoming staff too.

Gorgeous outdoor seating area with separate bar! Excellent selection of beers, ciders, real ales and spirits. Super dog friendly, every single member of staff made such a fuss of my dog! Cask ales are kept beautifully! Have eaten here several times and the food has always been fantastic. Steak night on a Wednesday is awesome, you have to try the Tomahawk! Had the moules-frites today which were delicious! Well worth a visit if you happen to be in Dartmouth!

What a lovely spot. Beautiful garden on a beautiful day but I’m sure it’s a great bar when it’s chilly or wintery. I gather this has just changed hands but what good hands they passed to. We all had a different pint. Every one was immaculate. This is a pub of the highest order. We didn’t eat, so I can’t vouch for that. A great place to start or finish a walk. Thoroughly recommend.

The Sunday Roast is profoundly flavoursome. Absolutely the best roast dinner dining out I have ever had. Even the brocoli was delicious! Hands down, an amazing experience, such a dreamy and delightful plate of food. Yummy!

Excellent food and service, and beautiful ice cream. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was excellent. We also had beef chilli nachos, also delicious 😋

Good coffee sat in the sun with beautiful flowers and the Totnes buzz. The staff are friendly and the food looks good. Good to see there are parasols for some shade if needed.

This is a lovely cafe, stairs a bit steep, lovely selection of cakes and charming staff. sadly the coffee is not very good

A very friendly local pub which is especially great if you have a 4 legged friend with you We stopped for a few drinks and some food, and the food was very good, beef nachos, some shrimp and a ploughman's was all so very good. Definitely worth a visit.

I've been going to this place for a few years and the coffee shop used to be lovely after a browse in the second hand clothes shop. Unfortunately the coffee shop has now closed but the second hand shop remains open. I am having a spring clean a nd found two pairs of shoes and two dresses from Monsoon I have never worn and were quite expensive so thought I would try and sell them there. I was made to wait whilst the very snooty up her own backside woman finished writing. When she deigned to look up she took one look at me, hardly looked at my shoes and dresses and said 'oh no definitely not'. I had just come back from a dog walk so she probably thought I wasn't posh enough to shop at her second hand clothes shop. I will never go there again and neither will my friends who used to use it regularly. That woman needs to learn some manners I was absolutely appalled.

I visited the Sportsman Inn today with a group of writers. We used a back room for our meeting and then afterwards ate in the restaurant. Our waitress (wish I had her name (young woman with long blonde hair) was very friendly, helpful and attentive from start to finish. I've recently been diagnosed as Coeliac, am dairy intolerant and am vegetarian. Not the easiest customer, but they were so wonderful making sure that my experience wasn't ruined by my health issues. The chef hearing I was Coeliac even made me a dish from scratch because he wanted to make sure there was no cross contamination. So I hwr w delicious meal and didn't have to miss out at all. They were so friendly and helpful. I'm also a wheelchair user and this can cause problems going out. Not a problem at the Sportsman because they moved furniture when needed for access and have a clean and spacious disabled toilet. This is not the first time we've found their hospitality has been excellent to our group. Yet again they exceeded expectations and provided us with a lovely experience. If you can, please thank our waitress for us again. PS

Well stock3d farm shop with high quality produce. Pies are really good quality. Found marzipan that I have been looking for, for months. Staff are a bit eccentric, but to be expected, adds to the ambiance of the place.

The food was good to very good, the service super friendly, great for a hotel bar/pub. The interior is conservatively furnished with partly antique furniture, very cosy.

Absolutely miserable staff wouldn't go again I like polite helpful staff here they are neither go to the coffee shop in yealmpton or Newton ferrers

Please, do not confuse The Shambles of Dartmouth is a bar but it’s No.1 on Higher street (in the corner T junction with Smith Street) yes, small place, music and good company See you there xx

You can see from the mixed reviews how people’s experiences have varied so much . We can only speak as we find and for four visits over four years our experiences have been really good. We have been able to pre order and pick ups have always been on time . Fish and chips were admittedly a bit pricey on our latest visit but taste and portion sizes were spot on .
