Visited this Saturday for lunch. Was very disappointed with the food as it was all nearly cold, and was quite pricey, Would think twice about visiting again.

Recently changed hands. Gone is the hand picked crab, Gone is the extensive fresh local produce menu, Gone is the wide variety of fish dishes so excellently prepared and served. Now it seems "out-of-the-packet" - might attract grockles, but not me.

I have eaten twice at this restaurant recently with a party of friends.The food is absolutely fantastic and the service really friendly and welcoming. This is rapidly becoming my favourite place to eat in Plymouth.

Scoffs is the best ever fish and chips you will ever taste and i want one to open in Plymouth

Ideal place for a romantic Dinner for two or a family gathering. We celebrated our Sons 21st with a family dinner at the Jack recently and everyone had a very good meal, reasonable priced and a good selection of wine and Ales. Paul is a great host, his staff trained very well and its somewhere we always recommend.

ham egg and chips was good. However the roast potatoes served were empty from sitting in the oven for too lone, the veg chilli was barely edible and the steak and ale pie had very little filling. It has to be said that the chips which replaced the roasties were quite nice

Scoffs, the best fish & chips ever tasted - open one near me in Kent

an amazing evening, beautiful interior, simple but very effective with a lovely red glow inside when the sun went down!! drinks next to the stream on a beautiful sunset then inside for dinner. wonderful staff, very friendly and good looking, with a brilliant service and smile. food was delicious and VERY affordable. didn't have a pizza but they looked incredible. all in all a very memorable evening, thank you. will defo be back

Enjoyed 2 very nice, good value meals at Tyme during our stay at one of the cottages belonging to the hotel. Not a wide-ranging menu (difficult if you're changing every evening and quite a small concern), but still enough choice to find acceptance with 2 adults, 2 teens and a non-too-adventurous grandma! Good, friendly service. Altogether an experience we would look to repeat.

Stunning location but let down by its success. On two occasions the 'specials' were not available, a 40 minute wait for food, and a need to queue again to order coffee. The food, when it arrived, was excellent. Parking, even with a disabled badge, is nigh on impossible and should be addressed urgently.

We tried the plaice at the london fryer when we were on holiday and liked it so much we called in every night for the same.It was brilliant value at £2.65 and was cooked fresh while we waited

i have 2 disagree with the other comments i went there monday as I've just got back from torquay and i myself tried this place i ordered a chicken tikka missala and i asked 4 it to be done sweet and creamy it was creamy ok but not sweet 1 bit compared to the balti gardens in abby road. i went here on the monday night as the balti gardens was closed that nite. ok they changed it but they should have done it right when i stated that when i ordered my meal. its not the best 1 in torquay as ive read on various sites here that will be the balti garden because they do the food right 1st time u order it which is how it should be done.

If you want quantity instead of quality and taste then this is the place for you

Nice place in exceptional setting. But there are problems. It is busy, there are not enough staff, everything is slow and parking on this private residential complex is inadequate. It took us nearly an hour and a half to get served.

This is one of the hidden food marvels of the west country. Unassuming premises in a bland shopping street hide the best cooked, best value and perhaps the subtlest flavourings of any Indian (Gujurati) and certainly any vegetarian restaurant I have ever come across.

Visiting, found Bistro One on Sugarvine. Love Oysters so piled in to 6 Raw and 6 Grilled.Fresh as the sea! Glass of Ashridge Sparkling Cider was the offered match - perfect indeed. New to us we had Paupiettes of Gleanie (Cornish for Guinea Fowl) stuffed with Spinach and toasted Almonds plus Bocaddon Farm Calves Liver with Dry Cured Bacon. The wine recommendation was a Cabernet Sauvignon from Pikes of Clare Valley in S Australia and lovely it was too! Tarte au Citron and Gluten-Free Chocolate and Chilli Cake "finished us off" but not before a glass of Argentinian Late Harvest Torrontes! All simply divine. This is excellently delivered Bistro Cooking showing good value. Surprises on the menu with some off-the-wall wines make it a definite favourite venue to search out. We recommend you do.

Wanted to quickly update or 2006 review. The Barrel is going from strength to strength. Luke Hunt has now taken over the management of the Barrel and there is a new chef. The wonderful attention to detail remains and if anything has gotten even better. The food remains wonderful and has actually stepped up a gear. The cuisine is now, daily, on a standard with the dishes that one used to get only on special occasions. Excellent place!

Brilliant place - eaten there on so many occasions everytime the food has been outstanding. Service is good and the price is good. Probably the best Indian in Plymouth. Going there now!!
