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.

My self my girlfriend and our boy went there today for a nite to eat, we were very impressed by the service,the food and the general atmosphere the whole place was absolutely spotless,we had tuna and mayonnaise sandwiches 🥪 and prawn and mayonnaise sandwiches 🥪, they were lovely, we would and will definitely eat there again,good cafes are hard to find these days ,a message to everyone,Go there and eat there ,you won't be disappointed,we weren't

Amazing cafe so friendly lovely cakes and food the service is excellent dog friendly cosy and pleasant. We would highly recommend

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.

Great welcome from the staff, really good food although a bit limited on the veggie options. Definitely one to recommend.

Came here today (5/4/25) for lunch. The food came out and it was stunning. The roast beef was excellent. Then a member of staff decided to completely spoil it by standing right beside the table for the whole duration talking to other customers about her "colonoscopy" and various other medical conditions. Couldn't believe it. Won't be entertaining the idea of coming back, no matter how good the food was. This wasn't the lady who served us it was a different waitress. Appalled to be honest.

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.

Absolutely soulless, we visited on a Saturday when the town was busy and all other eateries were full. We decided to try it as there were tables available. To be honest, when we entered and saw only 2 of many tables occupied, this should have been a warning sign. The place was deathly quiet, no music, no chatting, cutlery chinking. As for the food, it was mediocre to say the least.

Best Sunday carvery had in a long time , this is not my first visit and each time the food is outstanding . Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good food and appreciate's the time and care it takes to serve a constantly well presented meal , all the food from whichever menu is outstanding .

Visited the House of Marbles so stopped to have Lunch. Fantastic food and service (Jade was Brilliant!!) Price was ok too. Great place for a restaurant and even has marble games outside and play area for younger children. You MUST try the Belly Pork bites - gorgeous!! Will visit again.

We decided to visit for breakfast before a dog walk on Dartmoor - selected on the basis of reviews and reputation. It was clearly busy as most tables were reserved. I know it’s a farm … but it was cold. I had a small breakfast and my wife selected scrambled eggs on toast. My reading of the menu led me to conclude that a small breakfast was a small number of items … much like other places. But I was wrong - it was the smallest piece of bacon you could find, the egg was similarly small - the size that comes in a catering size box from a catering supplier. Scrambled egg was equally disappointing, it had some square edges, I guess microwaved and cut up with a knife.

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.

Haddock can be small. But others very friendly and lovely staff

This restaurant was outstanding! The food was impossible to criticise in any way. The dishes were all extremely well crafted and presented beautifully. Although a slightly limited dinner menu, it changed each day and we were still spoilt for choice. We stayed for 3 nights so enjoyed dinner and breakfast each day. The cooked breakfast was delicious and there were plenty of options. All the food we ate was extremely fresh. The staff were fantastic. So attentive and friendly.

We've just returned from a 2 night stay at the Cromwell arms. We were visiting friends and it happened to be the Green Man Festival on on the Saturday and it was a lovely thing to see. We had the family room right upstairs in the eaves. We had a meal in there with our friends on the Saturday evening all went for the Ribeye steak at £23.95 we thought what a bargain well what can we say absolutely delicious so tasty we went for the port and stilton sauce and if I was forced to say anything that you would change I would say the sauce could've been thicker very runny but don't let that put you off it was delicious. We also had breakfast in the hotel and one thing we were really impressed with it was piping piping hot so much so you could see the steam coming off the breakfasts. Very friendly and accommodating staff and we would definitely stay here again love love loved it
