The outdoor seating has lovely views of the water. A relaxing spot for a coffee, though the wine list felt a bit limited for the setting.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The Cornish pasty was lovely - proper flaky pastry and a really generous filling. The latte was smooth too. Staff were very friendly, which made it a really pleasant, easy stop.

Just popped in for a pint. The fire was going and it felt really cozy. Had a couple of their local ales, which were spot on. Proper pub vibes.

The roast was fantastic, and their wine list had some really nice pairings to go with it. Staff were very helpful too.

The warm Whortleberry and Apple Cake was lovely, especially with the clotted cream. My loose leaf tea was a great match for it, not too strong. A very pleasant way to end a meal.

Been staying here for years. The room overlooking the church is always so peaceful and comfortable. Perfect base for exploring Dartmoor.

The beef carvery was incredible, honestly. The owner and staff were so lovely and had a great sense of humour. They really went out of their way to make sure we were looked after.

Got a dairy allergy. They made a cheeseless pizza no problem. The cheesy chips were the real deal though. Actually cheesy. Solid.

Mark always remembers our usual order, which is nice. The chilli squid is a must-have, perfectly crispy. The mussels were a bit small this time, but still tasty.

Been ordering from this place for ages, dine-in and takeout. The menu&#39;s got loads of options, and it&#39;s always reliable. Never had a bad meal here.

Booked a private pod for our group and the dogs. The squid and beef sliders were really good, and ordering with the checklist was dead easy. Food came out as it was ready, which worked for us. A handy spot if you&#39;ve got the pup with you.

Popped in for a late lunch and sat outside with the dog. The ham, egg, and chips were spot on. Really hit the spot. The house red was a simple, easy-drinking Merlot that went nicely with the salty ham. Staff were lovely.

The prawns were surprisingly fresh and crunchy for a buffet, especially here by the sea. A decent mix of Indian and Chinese dishes overall. The chicken tikka was fine, though the naan could have been warmer.

Great spot by the harbour. Popped in for a coffee and just sat there watching the boats for ages. Views are lovely.

My go-to for a quick bite. The chicken nuggets are massive, real breast meat in a light, crispy batter. Spicy fries are a solid side. Pairs nicely with a cold lager, honestly. Very affordable.

Loved the calm atmosphere here. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, they even asked about dietary needs and had gluten-free options. It made the whole experience feel really relaxed and considered.

Grabbed a takeaway from here before heading to the beach. The location is spot on for that. The portion size for the price was decent, enough for a proper lunch by the sea.

The Sunday roast here is solid. Beef was tender, Yorkshire pudding spot on. Service was efficient, got us in and out in good time for a train. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in this area.

Lovely, cosy pub. The fire was lit, and the whole place just felt warm and welcoming. Had the steak and ale pie - proper comfort food, really hit the spot. Just a nice, relaxed evening.

A really outstanding moules-frites! Lovely, friendly waiting staff, who are attentive and efficient. The food wildly exceeded expectations and the specials were imaginative, sophisticated and deliciously fresh. Booking a table in the evening is a must as they are always fully booked. Thank you!

The grilled octopus was the standout. Tender, with a nice char, and the lemon-herb oil was spot on. Could have used a bit more salt, but the texture was just right. That&#39;s what I came for.

Just visiting the area and found this place. The lamb shank was so tender it fell right off the bone, and the price was a nice surprise. Wish I lived closer, I&#39;d be here all the time.

Queue moved fast even when packed. Staff were still pleasant, which is nice when you&#39;re just grabbing a quick bite.

The scones were lovely and warm, served with really nice jam. Just a really good cream tea.

Been coming here for years, and the steak and ale pie is always spot on. That flaky crust, the tender meat inside... it&#39;s just consistently good. You know what you&#39;re getting. The chips are solid too.

Popped in for a lazy breakfast with my mates. The full English was spot on, and the staff were so chill and friendly. It&rsquo;s got that perfect vibe for a long, chatty catch-up. Definitely coming back to try their Sunday roast!

Been coming here for years, and their consistency is what keeps me coming back. The grilled octopus starter is always perfectly tender, never chewy. Even on a packed Saturday night, it&rsquo;s exactly as I remember. That&rsquo;s rare to find.

Lovely little spot tucked away from the crowds. Perfect for a quiet catch-up with friends over their fresh baguettes.
