The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Moorland Teignbridge South West

Very nice lunch. The mushroom cream soup was exquisite. Nice mac and cheese and the panini were yummy. Good service

A lovely little cafe in the heart of Moretonhampstead. I enjoyed a latte and toasted tea cake in the sunny garden. Friendly helpful staff.

We had a beautiful meal and service at the Rugglestone. I had the beef burger, which was local meat, and my partner had the fish, both cooked to perfection. A lovely warm atmosphere, Guinness was in excellent order aswell as the wine. Thanks for accommodating us. We will be back.

Avoid like plague! They will kick an entire family out and not honour bookings even though restaurant is empty! Awful awful service from the moody lady serving at the bar. I know that service around Devon is hit and miss but her attitude is some of the worst I’ve ever seen her in my life and I’ve seen a lot of bad service. So here’s my experience at this place today Tuesday 1st of March: I called at 15:54 and proceeded to leave a voicemail with my booking as there was no answer. I said we will arrive around 17:30/17:40, we are a family of 6 (2 adults, 2 children, 2 babies). I figured it’s a Tuesday and booking a dinner at 17:30 not exactly busy. 2 days prior I walked in the pub and asked hours of operation and the nice young guy there told me Tuesday supper should be easy and can call during the day, I don’t need to call days in advance. I then proceed to drive for 1 hour and 15 minutes to this place. I get there 17:30 start walking towards the pub, I see a young couple in the garden eating. I then walk in, apart from 1 other person the place was totally EMPTY…just like you would expect on a Tuesday at 17:30! I look around for someone but there was nobody there so I proceed to walk to the bar. Behind the bar the lady I was mentioning, she was serving a couple at the bar having some drinks. I then ask her politely “excuse me, who do I need to talk to about a reservation at the restaurant?”. She answers back snarky “me once im done here”. I’m like oh wow she’s really in a good mood. I wait for a few minutes she then walks behind the bar to her computer. She asks me if I have a reservation, i then tell her I called an hour and a half ago and left a voicemail. She replies saying oh I haven’t got any voicemails and just looks at the phone on wall without checking or anything like that. Obviously she was totally bs’ing me. She then asks how many people and when. I say now and we are 2 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. She says “we are too busy we have a local dinner / local event tonight and only 1 chef we don’t have space.” I reply back “but I booked the place by leaving a voicemail, the restaurant is now empty (surely this event is not at 5:30pm???) and I drove over an hour with 4 hungry children to come here”. I even showed her the phone number I dialled in my phone and she confirmed it’s the right one. She then looks me straight in the eye and says “sorry…I can book you for dinner tomorrow” and proceeds to walk back to the bar. Great service right? Now I go back to the car and as my wife got all the kids out i tell her to put everyone back in. Obviously everyone screaming and hungry so have to find new place for dinner. I then drove for 10 minutes to nearby Bovey Castle (thank god this place is nearby) who had no trouble offering us dinner without a booking. If the owner sees the message I would appreciate if you could leave some contact details. This type of behaviour from staff is totally unacceptable and owner needs to be aware of it!

Such a shame that it no longer caters for the general public for lunch or a cream tea, we used to visit regularly many years ago, but it seems to only cater for weddings and corporate functions. Won't be back, we will go to two bridges hotel for cream teas.

Bovey Castle is certainly a beautiful and interesting location. However, with all their grounds parking spaces are a premium. Eventually, we were offered a space in a coned off area. A very well appointed building as your would expect for a Five Star Hotel. We began with an aperitif 'Gusbourne English Sparkling' which was superb. A absolutely delightful bar. Smith's Brasserie! Well, let's begin with the positives. Excellent welcome and staff were fantastic throughout our Birthday lunch. Extremely unimaginative menu to say the least. A nice enough starter. Perhaps would have expected freshly made mayonnaise, not from a bottle, in such an establishment. Pleasant enough bottle of rose, although there was a choice of ONE. My wife (Birthday Girl) and I opted for pasta dishes. Absolutely clueless when it comes to pasta dishes. Packet spaghetti with prawns (four small ones) and a Provencal sauce? Very little of it too. It is an Italian dish and the sauce requires mixing in the pasta. Tagliatelle, again from a packet, with some type of utterly non-descript cream sauce at the bottom of the dish. Totally unseasoned dishes. The cooking water needs to taste of the sea. Therefore, seasoned. No offer of cheese or pepper or pangrattato, nothing, and certainly no theatre. Huge improvements required I'm afraid to make an enjoyable dining experience. Dress Code: Expectations, as you would imagine were high. Staff were smart, but could have been better attired for such a hotel. Clientele: Lots of jeans and un-ironed tee shirts wondering around and dining. A pair of football shorts and dirty trainers at one table, others with feet on the chairs in the bar and the final straw was a couple arriving in towelling dressing gowns and flip flops. NO! Sorry. There's a time and a place and this is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this was a lunch to judge if a weekend stay would be appropriate for our anniversary and it simply is not good enough.
