Reviews in Devon

Having visited now about 5 times I love the place the food is excellent each time I’ve tried something different and have not been disappointed with any so try:- fishcakes monkfish and sweet potato thermadore veggie:- mushroom stroganoff field mushroom with??? my mouth waters at the thought The landlady is lovely always remembers us the perfect hostess also the wine is good they can recommend something to suit your taste and they periodically change their wine choices

Pub food at its best, worth a visit.

This place has under gone a complete transformation and all credit has to go to Phil & Helen, the very friendly owners. The food is of excellent quality, locally sourced (hurrah!) and reasonably priced. The wine list offers really good value and I have to recommend the house wine - it's fantastic. The stunning views over the bay add to the friendly atmosphere - recommended!

Outstanding is an understatement for this fantastic place. My wife treated me to a night out here for my birthday, and from the moment you step through the door you are made to feel welcome by the owner and her great staff, nothing and I mean nothing is too much trouble. The food is nothing short of superb, in portion, very large, and taste, well 7th heaven, do try the scallops and the lobster pure bliss. this is by far the best place we have eaten in for many a year and cannot wait to return in September. Highly recommend to all, but do book in advance. Many Thanks to all at The Poop Deck for a truly great evening, see you soon.

Stuart and I ate here last year while on holiday and were very impressed as you can see by our ratings. Everything was of the highest standard and it was delight to have such good food in this area.

You can eat ostrich, venison and get your steaks etc. The vegetables are all presented nice and tasty as well. I have put it is pricey, but it depends on what you have, if you have say venison you will pay the going rate for venison. The restaurant is in a small village.

The Best Meal I've Had In A Long Long Time

Having had the pleasure of more than one outstanding dinner at Ode in Shaldon- the time came for a visit for their week end brunch. Went to see how they fared with a very elderly friend who has trouble eating anything at all...but a smoked salmon omlette ( Holding the chives to save the very delicate tummy ) proved an outstanding sucess, only eclipsed by the fish cake on my own plate..... Freshly squeezed orange juice and a sicilian lemonade set us up for the very hot sun outside, the warmth streaming in through the open front door. Such a refreshing change for a Sunday brunch

A really relaxed evening which began at the bar on a sumptuous sofa with an elegant glass of wine and ended with the best French tart outside of France. The menu is excellent with the best quality ingredients used. This place is the highlight of our holidays in Devon, a real treat.

A great place to enjoy a large American size plate of excellent food, the staff are so happy and helpful, the jukebox is playing all the classic rock hits and to finish of if you are into cars then keep one eye on the car park.

great food at last

If there is any place that I would rather go or be taken to for Sunday lunch, it has to be the Rodean. The food is quality, the service so comfy and efficient you do not want to leave, and the price so reasonable you can keep going back. We describe it to friends and to guests of our holiday accommodation as Silver service in your own fine dining room. Take me there any weekend, I am always available!

Popped in for a quick meal on a Saturday. Followed the recommendation for the ham as it is prepared on site. Really nice dinner, nice people and not expensive. Big portions - chap said jokingly it was to stop us asking for puddings!

fantastic size portions, really friendly staff - excellent steaks, have been 3 times now & always enjoy the nights dining. don't try to move the chairs they are huge, you will probably give yourself a hernia! Do take the time to check out ''graffitti'' in the ladies loo girls!

went couple of times, when on holiday to Brixham May 2006, huge pies, large portions fish, etc, very reasonably proced, gets busy quickly, so would recommend booking. locals very friendly, lovely pub/eatery looking forward to going again at end of June 2007

This is a amazing restaurant and i love it even thou I’m only 14 and no the owners this truly is an amazing restaurant and the best in salcombe love to owners you know who you are Amy xxxxxxxx

As a local resident I cannot help but think we are the luckiest people in the area, to have a fine dining restaurant in walking distance of our homes. A trip to the village always includes a look at the menu in the window and several visits for dinner have followed. Being a total fish lover, to be spoilt for choice with at least three different fish dishes caught locally makes a welcome change from the average restaurant menu.

i have eaten at the old barn in on many occasions with family and friends and have found it a lovely place the food is all fresh and the staff are very friendly. I would recommend the old barn inn to EVERYONE im a regular and a local and may i suggest try there sunday lunch its fab ... anna03/05/07
