Service was spot on. Rushi and the team were quick, knew the menu. Not pushy at all. Felt like a proper local spot, not some chain.

The desserts are seriously decadent, almost too much after a full meal. The chocolate tart was so rich I could only manage a few bites, but those bites were incredible. A bit of a sugar overload, honestly.

The fish and chips deal was decent. The batter was just right, crispy and light.

Tried their banquet night with friends last Tuesday - it was surprisingly busy! The food was really good, and I love that you can bring your own drinks. The pilau rice was a little plain for me, but that&#39;s just personal taste. A solid spot for a group dinner.

Been to a lot of chippies along the coast. This one in Seaton tops them all for fish and chips. The batter was light and crispy, and the portion was huge for the price. Could barely finish it.

Lovely terrace with a view of the water. The seats were really comfortable, which made it easy to relax.

The two-person set was massive, we couldn&#39;t finish it all! Everything was spot on, but the naan really stole the show &ndash; so fluffy and warm right out of the tandoor.

Lovely family-run place. The staff were so friendly and attentive, made the whole meal feel really relaxed. A nice find in Brixham.

Been coming here for years, and the old meeting house vibe never gets old. Perfect spot in the city centre when you&#39;re with a group.

The ingredients were so fresh, you could really taste it in every dish. Loved the thoughtful flavour combinations, especially in the seasonal salad. A very relaxed spot for a healthy meal. The wine list had some nice organic options too.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Ordered the chicken katsu curry via the QR code on the table, super easy. Food came out fast and was exactly what I needed. The curry was decently rich. Solid for a no-fuss bite.

Been meaning to try the February tasting menu here for a while. The courses were beautifully put together, with a nice play between delicate and bold notes. My only note is that the wine pairing felt a bit safe &ndash; could have been a touch more adventurous to match the food&#39;s creativity. Still, a lovely evening.

The vegan breakfast is a solid choice. The spread of fresh ingredients is really generous, and everything tasted great. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot for a morning meal.

Had their curry goat at a friend&#39;s wedding last weekend. The meat was so tender, fell right off the bone. Flavour was spot on, not too spicy. Everyone kept going back for more. Service seemed really smooth from what I saw.

The cocktails were the real star for me. I tried their signature &#39;Smoky Negroni&#39; and the balance was spot on - not too bitter, with a really nice herbal finish. Great vibe for a Friday night with mates. 🍸

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a proper old pub, not one of those fancy tourist spots. Low ceilings, dark wood, feels like it&#39;s been here forever. Just off the main drag so it&#39;s a bit quieter.

The owner and his wife are lovely. They remembered us from a previous visit and took the time to chat. It&#39;s that personal touch you don&#39;t get everywhere. The service is genuinely warm and attentive, which made for a very pleasant evening.

Great spot in the Barbican. The atmosphere is perfect for a group dinner, and their wine list had a few interesting local options to explore.

Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding was solid, generous portions. The vegan nut roast is a decent option too. Service was efficient, got us in and out for a business lunch.

The food is pretty good, with nice spices and balanced flavours. You can tell they care about the cooking.

The garlic dip here is fantastic, really elevates their pizza. Had a glass of house red with it, a simple but spot-on pairing. The base could be a touch crispier for my taste, but that sauce keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years, and their fish and chips never disappoint. The fish is always crispy, chips are proper. Sometimes they&#39;ll throw in a little extra, like a free side of mushy peas. Good, solid local chippy.

The festive platter was lovely for sharing. The main courses were a bit hit or miss, but the portions are satisfying.

I popped in for a light lunch and was really impressed by the freshness of the salad ingredients. The greens were crisp, and the chicken tasted properly grilled, not just reheated. The table service app made ordering easy, and it arrived quickly even when the bar area got a bit crowded. A solid choice for a simple, fresh meal.
