Had a big group dinner here. Staff handled our 20 people really well - all the meals arrived hot and as ordered. They were friendly and didn&rsquo;t seem rushed at all.

They handled my request for an extra-hot curry without any fuss. The chicken tikka masala was solid, and the spice level was spot-on. Good to know they&#39;re flexible.

A decent spot for a quiet drink. The atmosphere is relaxed, and they&rsquo;re dog-friendly, which is nice. Staff were pleasant enough. It&rsquo;s fine for meeting a friend, though the beer selection could be a bit better.

As a coeliac, I was genuinely impressed by the gluten-free menu here. So many choices! The tables are a bit snug, but the food portions are generous and everything tasted spot on. A really nice find.

Lovely little spot. The flat white was just right - smooth and strong, exactly what I needed. Sat by the window for a good hour, watching people pass by. The vibe is cozy and a bit quirky. Coffee&#39;s the real star here.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always consistent. Their special rice is the star - fragrant, fluffy, and just the right amount of spice. Still the top spot for Indian food around here.

The staff are so friendly, especially Roly and Lesley. It really feels like a proper local.

The gluten-free pasties were a nice find. They bake them fresh, you can tell. The crust was actually flaky, which is tricky with gluten-free dough. Tasted pretty good, too.

Great pub quiz on Tuesdays, really lively. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is spot on for a traditional local. Decent beer selection too, had a good pint of their house bitter.

Came here with my dog while travelling. They actually have a separate room for people with pets, which is a lifesaver. Means you can actually sit down and eat without worrying. The food was decent, but honestly, that dedicated space is the main reason I&#39;d come back.

Grabbed the chicken burger meal deal for a quick lunch. The chicken was juicy, and the fries weren&#39;t greasy. The real game-changer was the server&#39;s suggestion to pair it with a crisp lager &ndash; cut right through the richness. That peri peri salt is a must. Solid spot.

Really friendly team here. Saw them help a customer who was struggling, just went out of their way. Nice to see that kind of care.

Coffee&#39;s top notch. Got a sandwich to go - fresh and tasty. Perfect for a quick bite by the sea. Service was quick, which is what I needed.

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

Just stopped by for the shellfish platter. Really generous portion, enough for two. The prawns were sweet, mussels fresh. That view over the colourful houses was a nice bonus.

Decent spot for a pint. The food looked pretty good from what I saw at other tables. They&#39;re very dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. A solid choice for a casual drink.

Stopped in for a change and got their hot chocolate. It was made with real dark chocolate, not too sweet. The staff were friendly. A nice little treat on a cold day.

Breakfast was included with our stay. The ingredients felt fresh, especially the tomatoes and mushrooms. A nice, healthy start to the day. The view from the pub is lovely, right by the water.

The pea fritters were a real standout. Light, crispy, and not greasy at all. They paired so well with the fish and chips. I&#39;d come back just for those.

Saw dolphins from the water&#39;s edge while waiting for our table. The grilled fish was simple but fresh, and the chips were hot. A nice surprise on the walk.

Cosy spot with a real fireplace - perfect for a rainy evening. The ales and ciders are kept really well, which is so nice to see. A solid local pub.

Lovely spot for a quiet cuppa. The homemade cake was spot on, really nice texture. Perfect for a window seat and a bit of peace.

Came for a late brunch with friends. The outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny Saturday, we stayed for ages just chatting. The fish options are a nice change from the usual. Good value for what you get.

The fish and chips are always spot on. Fresh cod, crispy batter that&#39;s never oily. Just a really solid, reliable plate every time.

Had the Sunday roast here. The beef was perfectly cooked, still pink in the middle, and the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside. The homemade cheesecake was a must, really good.

The vibe here just hits right. Pool tables buzzing, good tunes, not too loud. Drinks are decently priced, which is a plus. Just a really nice spot to unwind after work.

First time here for lunch and I&#39;m already thinking about coming back. The mussels were so fresh, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Staff were really friendly too.
