The best restaurants serving British food in Haytor Teignbridge South West

On arriving for our 6pm table we had to queue at the bar blocking the entrance to be seated. Only we weren’t seated, just told our table number and a hand gesture to signal we should find it ourselves. We took our menus and waited patiently to at least have a drinks order taken. Eventually, a waitress came over to ask if we had ordered drinks. We arrived at the same time as a huge party so were keen to order food before they did. We ordered food which came quite quickly. However, the hunters chicken special was mainly made up of a very sweet and sticky bbq sauce with not that much chicken. It had obviously been microwaved as it was very hot. The sauce completely overpowered the chicken so much so the breaded chicken was very soggy and needed most of the sauce removing. Another large party arrived so the noise levels were very loud and it was difficult to hear conversation on our table. Nobody came to ask how the food was, offer another drink, clear our plates or ask if we would like dessert or coffee. My husband went to the bar to get another drink and pay our bill. We’ve been recently for Sunday lunch which was lovely so would return for that but not an evening meal and would sit in the bar away from the noisy large group environment of the extension area. Sad to see it’s gone downhill as we’ve had some lovely evenings there.

We had dinner at Tarr Farm after a lovely walk in the area. The service was great and the food was tasty, better than your average pub for sure! I can imagine it’s even better in the summer!

As a local I like to support the star . I booked a table nice the upstairs restaurant, on arrival with four staff behind the bar no one greeted us and was left waiting for service for about 10 minutes then was told your table that we booked was not available and the only one we have is that one pointing. We walked out fuming! Never again!!! Ps we found a better place who greeted with respect.

Where do i start, cheap food, disgusting and cutlery was dirty. Worst £10 I've spent on a breakfast! Stay well clear, certainly won't be returning.
