Reviews in Devon

We dined here recently during the week expecting it to be quite quiet, what a surprise to find the place buzzing, a real mixture of people, some post cinema some looked like they were having a dinner party at home. We were immediately lifted by the atmosphere and quickly got the wine ordered, I really fancied a good bottle and Charlotte recommended a top Australian from the bin end racks, it arrived properly decanted and complete with two awesome glasses. Food wise we both ordered Scallops in Bacon, a massive portion of beautifully cooked scallops arrived with crusty bread. We had to leave some to make room for our mains, I ordered the mildly spiced Indian Lamb with mash, again the portion huge and very good too, my partner opted for the smoked chicken dish which she loved. We had a great night, will definitely go again and recommend it.

An excellent meal. Fantastic pub and restaurant fully recommended. Make sure you book for a table as its very popular with locals and alike.

i have to say the courtyard is now my favourite restaurant in North Devon, if not the whole county. and the local crab and lamb dishes were superb. would definitely recommend it as a holiday treat - go on a sunny day when the roof is open, or for a starlit dinner

go you will love it!

Good pub food with many imaginative touches

A few of our friends go to the Eastern Eye on a regular basis, it is the best restaurant so far in the Plymouth area. We love the service provided by all staff, especially Kalam, who is the most sexiest waiter in town. His generosity is outstanding and the entertainment is always a bonus.

We had the best meal we have had this year, I was bowled over by the quality of cooking here. It was as good if not better than my last great experience, which was at the black pig in Rock. If you are looking for a top of the tree gastro experience I suggest getting over to Woolacombe ASAP.

Probably one of the best traditional Chinese restaurants I've been to for a long time. Hopefully business will bring me back to Tavistock shortly for another excellent meal @ The Birds Nest

I have to confess to being a bit of a Bistro One regular, and can recommend all their offerings ranging from their excellent English Breakfast to their varied dinner menu which features the best of local produce. Don't come here if you want flash surroundings, crisp linen and stuffy waiters, but DO come here for outstanding food and service at a sensible price!

I paid my first visit to the Harris Arms last night and I was not disappointed. First of all I was pleased to find that it's a pub that serves excellent food rather than a restaurant that is nominally a pub, so I would be as happy dropping in here for a drink as I would coming in for a three course meal. My partner and I enjoyed a very good meal, well presented and using quality local produce. The menu is not extensive, but the specials vary regularly and the ingredients are locally sourced and of outstanding quality. A strong feature of this establishment is its interesting and very reasonably priced wine selection. The owners come from New Zealand and have a background in wine, which is a real strength of the place. For the beer drinker they serve good local real ales too. I would recommend the Harris Arms to anyone who enjoys good food and wine at a sensible price, and I look forward to returning soon. It's not a large place but it is popular, so, if you're planning to eat, book before making a special journey.

The food is divine simply gorgeous! Must have the carvery very good value for money, as it? just a bit nicer than your standard carvery! Q

We dropped in for lunch, it was unusually busy we thought considering its in the middle of nowhere, but, I suppose it is just outside of Exeter. It would have been very easy to spend but we used will power and held back. I had sausage and mash, it was fantastic, the quality of the sausages was staggering, apparently they are made just for them by a top local butcher. My partner (a Veggie) had what she referred to as brilliant, a tart of leek and goats cheese, we couldn? resist puddings. We shared a selection of different passion fruit desserts that included sorbet, cheesecake and mousse, all presented on designer crockery and a mille feulle of berries with creme anglaise. I cant wait for the opportunity to go at night.

We always get a warm welcome from the friendly, knowledgeable staff, whether we last visited a month or a year ago! Great menu - too much to choose from! - and a relaxed atmosphere. The best curry house in Plymouth - very highly recommended.

We had a very good time here, personal service, friendly staff and a passionate chef all make the difference here. The sea bass with asian flavours was excellent as was the presentation. I heartily recommend this to anyone around the Exeter area

The best pub and restaurant in south Devon the food is great and a good selection of wines and beers and dose great kids meals. I have been coming to Devon for many years and would recommend the sloop to anybody the restaurant is called [the hungry horse] and outside there is a great play area for the kids they also do a good drinks selection for the kids

Found Chandlers on here and thought it looked interesting - so glad we did! Excellent food, a superb location (the view would have been better if it hadn't been obscured by liquid sunshine!), great service and a bill at the end of it that left me smiling. A treat for the taste buds, the eyes and the wallet - oh and the feet will appreciate it too with parking right outside. All in all one of the more enjoyable culinary experiences we've had in Plymouth recently

A great meal lovely people great prices and brilliant real ales

Excellent food, good wine, creative cooking. But the location is not at all central, and the deco is just bad taste: plastic and DIY. A place serving original food and wine should have a matching interior.
