The best restaurants serving British food in Shiphay-with-the-Willows Torbay South West

Love the Old Engine house love the food and the staff especially Paul he can’t do enough for you we love coming here

courier drove around doing another order on another app whilst my order was in his car. food is always good from here, just arrived cold this time.

We visited the pub on a lunchtime. I had a Ploughman’s and my wife had Lasagna. Food was excellent. The staff were very attentive and polite. I could not fault our visit and will be returning.

We have ate at the Wighton many times before and the food has been perfectly cooked for a reasonable price and excellent service. Whilst the service is still great, the food is not. A new menu has been launched with a couple of changes so we were intrigued to see what new was to offer since we liked to eat here as a treat. We were majorly disappointed when our food arrived. The main food was overcooked, including the Hunter's chicken schnitzel making it tasteless and unpleasant to eat. The chips tasted like they had been sat for a while under a heating lamp and tasted/looked like low quality and bruised potatoes had been used. We ordered some sides including the garlic focaccia bread for £3.29. We were disappointed when it arrived and ended up being just two thin overcooked slices from what looked like a big garlic focaccia bread. The menu should have stated slices so you don’t assume it would be a small focaccia bread. You used to get a whole tear and share mini square loaf for a similar price and better quality/taste. The food was absolutely not worth the money, I don’t think we will be in a hurry to return. This will no longer be one of our go to places for food.

My mother inlaw and I recently went for a meal at the willow tree. All I can say is great food, great staff , which is rare these days, and nice atmosphere, would definitely recommend 👌
