The best restaurants serving British food in Teignbridge South West

Fantastic food, a lovely view and the service was really good. Well priced for the location. There is a separate kids menu too. Facilities were clean. Will definitely visit again 😊

Breakfast Bun with a friend at the Southbank. The bun was cold (frozen) in the middle, the sausage and tomato, even though it had been in the microwave. Afterwards felt a sickly taste in the mouth and gurgling stomach - probably was laced with sugar or artificial additives. Highly unhealthy. The lady who served us was rude short and nasty, why I have no idea. Views were very nice as always.

What a total load of s**t, My 4th visit in as many days to try and buy a breakfast baguette-never have any baguettes( I mean it’s a bakery for gods sake!) or it’s too late for a breakfast roll because it’s just after 11am. Never going back !!

Came in here yesterday for drinks for my birthday... Decent little place.. Decent larger... And friendly staff... Very Good...

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.

Stopped off by chance while cycling the Exe Estuary cycle path - what a great find. Warm and comfortable with lovely staff. Food was excellent - fish and chips (crispiest batter ever had) and a chefs special wild mushrooms with truffle and garlic - wow! Good coffee too! Highly recommended.

Gone are the lovely personal interactions there were when placing one's order, now just a tepid cup of machine made with a plastic (environment?) pot of long life milk. Not an improvement to a fave local haunt.

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!

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??

A random pop-in following a recommendation, I got the bus from Exeter on a Friday lunchtime and enjoyed the best sausage and mash you could wish for. It came with a whole host of vegetables. Most impressive, and many thanks.

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.

Met up with some friends for lunch we were glad to have been able to sit out in the garden as inside was very gloomy and uninviting and hasnt changed in years I ordered a pint of soda water with ice and was totally shocked to be charged £2.30 for it !!! I never get charged in central Exeter or other places for soda water, and when I questioned, it I was told "well we have to pay for it." I had a cheese,onion, and tomato sandwich with granary bread. The cheese had absolutely no flavour, so it was probably the mildest there was and was just like eating pure fat along with whatever spread had been used it definitely wasn't butter ! Bread was ok and a tiny bit of salad and some very strange totilla chips .We asked for some mayonnaise, but even that was really tasteless and obviously a cheap variety The lady serving us was very pleasant and attentive, but sadly, it's definitely not a venue. I will be rushing back anytime soon

Served by a nice lady. The meal was really nice.

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

I’ve been ordering the mixed grill at JD Wetherspoon pubs for close to 20 years (since around 2005) and somehow survived — until today. This was, without question, the most tragic excuse for a mixed grill I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting. I should’ve taken a photo, but honestly, it would have needed a NSFW warning. The sausage was the only thing that looked like it had once been part of a living animal. The rest of it? Tiny, burnt, shriveled beyond recognition — like they’d fished it out of a house fire and thought, “Yeah, that’ll do.” When I politely mentioned it to the bar staff, I got the same canned response twice: “That’s the portion size.” Ah yes, because clearly the issue here was quantity, not the fact it looked like an autopsy report. Rather than perform CPR on what was left of my dignity, I asked for a refund. They gave it to me (plus a free Pepsi Max — thanks, I guess?), so for that, you scrape together one lonely star. Well played, JD Wetherspoon Newton Abbot. After 20 years, you’ve managed to serve up a mixed grill so bad it should come with a trigger warning. Bravo.
