The best restaurants serving British food in Kingsteignton East Teignbridge South West

A good selection of shops with a properous surviving department store Austin . Like many centres some well known brands have left behind empty shops Tis does not help the Vitality

We all enjoyed a tasty, reasonably priced breakfast. Service took a while but that was explained to us and they were very busy. Good sized portions; my Eggs Royale (with smoked salmon) was delicious. Quite a noisy space, difficult to hear at times, again, probably due to how busy there were. Easy to park (and free!) Not sure where the ‘Italian’ theme has come from?

Great pub great food great service have to try, thx you Jordan for amazing service 👍

Just returned home after a long weekend break at The Old Rydon Inn. The accommodation was first class and having our own dinning room was amazing. I can not fault ANY part of our stay. From the moment when we first arrived and were shown our apartment, to when we departed, the staff were welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing, and having the luxury of it being served at our own dinning table, was fabulous. I can not recommend this establishment too highly to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The 3 July was their last night in Beefeater as we know it. I’ve been a fan of Beefeater for 50 years from child to adult and its phasing out is rather sad. We came 9 days ago for a birthday meal that was great and tonight I came to say goodbye to staff. Great food and service under conditions which Whitbread PLC should be wincing at. Staff numbers and menu run to minimum only to replace by a poor stable mate in the future, I assume for residents only. Wish them all well and the duty manager on my last two visits was really great - lovely character and hope she goes on to excel in hotel/hospitality/tourism and leisure. A great night for me - in the end of what’s left of Beefeater Grandstand.

We tried this place for the first time yesterday. Fabulous location right on the river and clearly a favourite with dog walkers and ramblers due to the walks alongside the Teign. We had a very nice table indoors overlooking the river. Waited ages for drinks at the bar, then again when waiting to order despite there being at least three waitresses and a virtually empty pub. Apparently two of them were 'just back from University' as if this in some way excused the fact that they very audibly did not appear to know where they were supposed to be taking the food they had already twice carried from the kitchen. We had checked out the menu on the website before we went and were looking forward to the sea bass which is very clearly advertised, so it was a bit disenchanting when there was no sight of it on the physical menu. Our meals were therefore medium cod and chips, Devon ham with a 'brace of eggs' and chips and a ploughman's. The cod was tiny and overcooked. The tartar sauce seemed to have been produced from a bottle. My mother's 'Devon ham' looked as if it had been freshly taken out of a packet; wafer thin, processed, wet and shiny, not 'locally cooked on site' as boasted. The chips were very obviously frozen. My ploughman's had a nice salad, a decent blue cheese and nice, hot bread. Other than that, the cheddar managed to be bland, the brie was rock hard and completely tasteless, the chutney and pickles looked as if they had been served to someone else prior to me and there was a massive amount of a lurid purple something on my plate which I think was coleslaw but which tasted nothing like it. Vile. My mother complained about the ham and was told by the waitress that she would 'find out more from the chef'. She never got back to us. We used the lavatory on leaving which was upstairs, very poky and had urine all over the seat. A really disappointing experience. They have what I would describe as a 'tourist' menu in that they seem to think they can serve up substandard food at inflated prices and get away with it because tourists are transient. Terrible.
