The best restaurants serving British food in Torbay South West

Really enjoyed the Cod and the batter, which were very tasty indeed. 10 out of 10. Sadly dissapointed with the chips which were overly firm; I suspect it was the variety of patato which seemed to be 'chewey' and pretty tasteless. Maybe they just don't flash well? And, sadly, the curry sauce was lacking in flavour and too wet (it made the paper so soggy it ripped - yes even the multiple layers. We have kept re-trying this place overall the last 9 years, as it has such a good reputation, but it never seems to get it completely right. I would still recommend it, but I suppose it's just a bit of a gamble. Sorry guys, you are friendly and efficient, your premises are neat and tidy; but I just don't think we are 'simpatico', as the Spanish would say.

Rude and aggressive member of staff who told us to move because we were in the wrong seats. We went into this pub first but they didn’t sell Sauvignon Blanc so purchased from next door. Loads of spare seats yet told to move.

Didn't know an omelette and chips could be so disgusting. Tasted of oil and nothing else, but somehow, the egg still managed to be dry. Miserable staff who bring the words "bulldog" and "wasp" to mind. The actual building itself is like eating in a toilet block at a festival. I would probably only recommend visiting at night time because the horrible little place will be shut. Unless you like being sick in your mouth on the way home that is.

Worst service ever. Pig ignorant man and the most awful passive aggressive woman I’ve ever met. That obsessed with how busy they might be that they forget the people paying their wages .

When we arrived we sat in the garden as we had a dog with us. Trying to work out how to get a ticket for the car park was very confusing. We had to go next door to the Premier Inn and they got us a QR code. We had to go and look for menus as there wasn't any in sight. After choosing what we wanted I headed inside to place the order for the family. I waited in a queue for around 6-7 minutes only for the member of staff behind the till tell me that this line was for drinks only. So I then had to line back up again in another line. They then told me it's a 45-50 minute wait for food. I placed the order and went back outside to join the family. Once I sat down I could smell something, well I knew what it was by the smell, dog droppings, right next to where we were sat. We then had to move tables as it stank as it was a boiling hot day, which meant I had to go back inside to tell them we had moved. We moved into the covered area and sat down, only to have to move once again as 2 people were sat at the table next to us with their feet on the seats smoking! Even though a big sign above them said NO SMOKING. When the food came it was alright, but nothing to shout about. We then had to go and get our own cutlery, napkins & sauces - what a faff! Then when we left I had to go back to the Premier Inn and ask how to 'log out' of the car park as it's free for 3 hours for customers. I tried to use the QR code but it said it has already been used, so that was annoying. I had to as their receptionist for help - she had to go into the pub and get a new QR code for me - let's hope I don't get a parking ticket due to their incompetence with regards to parking, tickets & QR codes

What can I say apart from avoid! Two young girls served us. After we paid, we noticed they were eating while cooking!! Waited 40 mins with no food, when we asked where the food was, she told us she forgot to cook it!! then told us they had no chicken burgers or chicken nuggets. Surely you should check stock before serving? Mistakes happen of course, but this was problem after problem. The girl was vaping while cleaning around the front. So unhygienic is actually disgusting. Such a shame because the location was lovely. We always walked past and wanted to try it. If trading standards ever arrived they would be shut down instantly. WHO EATS WHILE COOKING AND SERVING FOOD? And to top it off, We didn't even get an apology at all. They both just stood bad mouthing us as we walked away.

Very disappointing although the sandwich I ordered was tasty. I arrived just gone 1pm for lunch. No-one around to greet me, bar staff totally oblivious to my presence. Found a table and sat there for over 10 minutes, still nobody appeared. Eventually, I went to the bar to order. My sandwich took about 20 minutes to arrive. It was not busy but service was slow. Asked for a glass of water which never arrived. Overall a disappointing experience for a supposed 4* hotel.

2.5 stars as some staff are good but many need to really work on their customer service skills. The drinks are okay, food is good but overpriced. Would be good if there were some more vegan options too. It is bright and a good meeting spot particularly if you have children who can play in the little soft play area for free.

Booked this restaurant for a pre theatre dinner. I said this when I booked and again when I arrived. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and we had to hurry to eat it and had to leave some in order for us to get to the theatre. When it came the food was tasty but too long to wait.

Some of the worst interior decoration I have ever seen, a beautiful house full of cheap plastic rubbish, totally lacking in any kind of atmosphere or style, a truly nasty experience. This should be a wonderful place, but it's not.

Have a great atmosphere and the food is the best here. I have with my family for this restaurant and the service is extremely good

I've just missed the season opening as I have to return home. I did pop in and have a cuppa and a chat with the nice lady that was cleaning the kitchen. I will return at a later date. Hopefully before the season ends. Alan. The lady will remember me j think 🤔

We visited on Easter Monday evening, not overly busy, we sat outside, beautiful views of Brixham, really lovely location. We ordered fish n chips, chicken wings, Camembert & a pint of prawns, all enjoyable. We were looked after by Lisia, very polite & professional. * The pint of prawns were served with the shells on, not a huge problem obviously but we felt it should have specified that in the menu because then half the pint of prawns was waste.

we have just spent 5 days at the hotel with Caledonian travel and can highly recommend the food in the restaurant, plenty of choices, lovely and hot and catered for all tastes. Both the breakfast and evening meals were all buffet so you could put as much or as little as you wanted on the plate. The number of desserts on offer was amazing thank you.
