The best restaurants serving British food in Teignbridge South West

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.

Lovely food, can recommend the prawn and smoked salmon sandwich, loads of filling. We ate inside with the gorgeous sea view. We will be returning when in the area again

Drinks extremely expensive I paid £23 for a pint and a cider.

Food is value for money Always have a pleasant experience Helpful staff Lovely views Just get the coffee better please Bit weak!!

Six of us went to lunch at the Swan’s Nest and all chose from the a la carte menu. Service for both drinks and the meal was very good and the food was enjoyed by all.

Met up with family as we had come down to visit. We were very surprised 😯 with the sloop, being a hungry horse we are used to them being noisy and dirty. We were so surprised and we were allowed to take our 🐶 in. The staff were lovely and most importantly so was the food.

We used to enjoy the lunches here, unfortunately my fish and chips were inedible, with a burnt lemon wedge, tartare sauce awful, soggy batter and watery fish. The chips were very dry. Also the ham was dried out and chips dry on the ham egg and chips. The coffees were lovely, just not worth the £40 it cost. On the plus side the staff were lovely but too busy to run the place properly.

I went to the grange for a nice Sunday roast with my family and most of us came back sad disappointed and a bit angry. The potatoes were hard and what seems to be Stale the vegetables were near inedible. I will say the meat was really nice but what really made us all sad and disappointed the kitchen staff were really rude. Other than young lady on the till a couple others. Safe to say I won’t be going back in a rush and definitely will not recommend to others.

We was on a pub tour of the area and passed this on a way to another pub and thought “oh this looks quaint” sometimes the most impromptu pubs are the best and this one certainly is! Four ales were on draft we opted for the salcombe gold Which was excellently kept. I loved the laid back atmosphere with dog friendly sofas. They have a beautiful boxer dog named boots who greets you on arrival who is loving in nature with people and dogs. Very chilled and dog friendly and I will certainly visit again and stay for longer when I’m next in the area. Whatpub online does not hype this place is much as it should.

Amazing level of service from one of the ladies at The Ridge Café. I want to thank the member of staff who offered and brought out to the car park, our order to me and my two rescue dogs, one of which, new to us, is very nervous following traumatic times in recent years. It was raining but this lady absolutely wanted to do it, and the dogs were able to meet her - one was enthusiastic and the new boy just looked puzzled, probably wondering who was so kind to bring out this meal to us. It was great, gentle, exposure for ‘new boy’ and a highlight for me too. I’m sorry that I don’t have the lady’s name but she was so good, thank you!

I have been to The Dolphin Inn several times now and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming.There are homemade traditional pies and roasts offered on Sundays, and bar snacks during the week. I had forgotten my scarf and Sam had very kindly looked after it for me. I wish them a very happy and successful 2020!

We go to the Towers frequently for a lunch stop. We find the lattes very weak,so today we asked for a extra shot,which made a great difference,but the downside was,we were charged an extra £1.40 per cup.

Breakfast very greasy to the point of inedible, Why do people think it ok to let dogs into an eating place jumping round people's tables??

Cozy, friendly and reasonable prices. Couldn’t try food unfortunately as kitchen was closed but lovely little pub.

Very, very good food especially the chicken or the cheesy chips. Nice family meal out
