The best restaurants serving British food in Bovey Teignbridge South West

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant last night, having heard about it in the local press. The food was freshly cooked and imaginative, beautifully presented, and the service was swift and attentive. Maybe the only downside is that the wine list was very limited, but the wine we had was excellent. The setting here is great, but surprisingly the place was far from full. That was good for us, but small independent restaurants need support, so please consider visiting. We'll certainly be back.

nice garden, enjoyable time tea in the garden.,

Visited The Cleave for the first time today under its new management. Was warmly welcome by the new manager Dan who has already made some changes and is keen to listen to customer feedback and develop the pub. We had a delicious open steak sandwich with truffle Parmesan fries which was very tasty. If you are looking for a pub with a nice cosy atmosphere with good food and drink you have come to the right place.

We went in because we urged to by Nigel from the bookshop (no 69, which we also highly recommend) We had a proper pasty, with faultlessly cooked veg, and the right amount of perfectly peppered beef skirt. The crimping was a creation of Cornish cuteness. My friend chose a diabetes inducing (which was what she was after!😂) lovely Mars Bar cake. Sally makes it all herself, and there was not anything that didn't look gorgeous. Sally was warm and friendly, welcomed us in, and made a point to say thank you and goodbye and wish us a good rest of our day. We left, sated, warm and happy.

Lovely festive breakfast. We were so well looked after it was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was fresh and beautifully cooked. The decoration is amazing and although busy was well organised. I have low immunity and we were placed in a corner table and felt really safe. We loved it all. Thank you very much.

Seem to be a lot kids hanging around the bar area. Staff behind the bar barely visible. No atmosphere.Food mediocre. Would not return.

Everything took an age to come to the table, when it did eventually come there was hair in the salad! I bought it up to the waitress who said "oh that shouldn't be there" then charged us the full £32 (two sandwhiches, a coffee and a milkshake) and walked off without even offering to remake the salad at the very least, so say it is disappointing is a let down

If you go to Bovey Tracey a visit to Old cottage tea shop is a must. What an absolutely delightful tea room. Old fashioned charm at its best. Good old fashioned menu. It's like having lunch at Grandma's. An absolute must visit.

I was here for a diamond wedding recently,The room was decorated beautifully, food was delicious and we were welcomed. I have never had a bad Meal here. Particularly lovely in the Summer as outside hotel is very pretty.

Came here for breakfast with my mum and we were both really impressed. Firstly, all staff members were really nice, happy and helpful. We arrived early but the restaurant already had a fair few visitors. We both had a full English breakfast which comes with tea or coffee, orange juice and toast. This was a great addition and we were both surprised that it was all included in the price. Really impressed for £12! The breakfast was great, it was a good amount, really hot and no grease. Bonus! We would definitely come back again.

A relaxed space with quiet music to enjoy a drink, meal or a game of pool. We enjoyed the live acoustic guitar on Saturday evening. Pleasant staff and atmosphere. Free WiFi and plug socket access.

Fantastic Fish Bites and Chips. Very friendly, happy service. Thank you very much.

The food here is amazing, we have had breakfast and dinner. There is a wide selection of delicious breakfast options, and our dinner last night was the best meal we've had in a long time! Our compliments to the chef!

Avoid this awful pub run appallingly by the landlady.
