1. Brian Legassick ★★★☆☆

   Had a Sunday lunch, which was very good . The service was very poor, and this is down to lack of training. We were seated and given menus, it quoted on the menu to look at the specials board for roasts. When asked where it was they hadn't written it and didn't know at first what meats were on offer. We were eventually told it was beef or gammon. Our food arrived which was very good quality, about ten minutes into our meal they bought two dishes of cauliflower cheese. They cleared our plates, but never asked if we wanted desserts or coffees. After about half an hour I went and asked about desserts and coffee. We ordered 3 coffees and one decade coffee , they came back to say they didn't have decaf. The staff were busy, and polite, I think it is down to lack of training, and the dress code could be improved. Lovely venue and food, improve your service and we wt return.

   Lovely location next to river dart . I’m staying here for two nights while visiting the south Devon railway diesel gala . Have eaten her both nights of my stay. Both meals were excellent,fish and chips last night and rib eye steak tonight . Small but good selection of beers from st Austell brewery last night and drinking Devon red cider tonight. Breakfast this morning was very good looking forward to tomorrow’s breakfast.

   A couple of friends of myself stopped at their restaurant after hiking in Dartmoor for a few days. The food was great. The service was even better. I can't stress enough how helpful they were in finding a taxi for us to get back to the campsite - NONE of the local taxi services were working or answering the phone, but the restaurant staff found someone to give us a lift nonetheless (albeit for a small fee of course).

   Came here for lunch with my son. Staff were freindly and helpful. We sat outside by the river, which was lovely on a sunny day. We both had a baguette and shared some fries. The food arrived in good time and was very good.

   We were here with some friends for drinks and food on a Friday evening. The location is beautiful on the banks of the Dart River. It was lovely sitting out on there river side patio enjoying a couple of beers on a summer evening. The food we had was really nice with generous servings. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend. We don’t stay here so can’t comment on the accommodation.

   Great lunch stop after a walk on Dartmoor. Allows dog in bar area, food good off a short but well thought out menu. Great bar area comfortable and warm. Good selection of local beers and Gins plus some low alcohol options. And very good service from friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended.

   Can't comment on the rooms, have only visited for food and drinks. It's very picturesque, being situated right next to the river Dart. A good choice of food and drinks on offer. It also has outdoor seating which is very popular in the summer months. They don't serve food all day , especially out of season, so it would be wise to ring up beforehand and check. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Well worth a visit.

   Popped in for lunch. Lunchtime menu not extensive but will cater for most tastes. Very generous portions and well cooked and presented. Get there early as it became quite busy later on. Definitely would return. Nice place on the banks of the Dart.

1. A J McGowan ★★☆☆☆

   We spent two nights there this week, bed and breakfast. We stayed in the DART room. Very nice with great views of the river Dart. Plus side. Lovely friendly and helpful evening waitress/bar staff. Down side. The evening meals were okay, but lacked imagination. It would appear that they were trying to justify their prices by packing out the meal with potatoes/chips. The breakfasts were okay if you wanted the full English, variations of. But the attitude if the waitress was dreadful and she was a little scruffy. My wife didn't want a cooked meal on the second morning and asked if she could have 2 Croissants. She was told that you aren't allowed 2, only 1. That, I find was insulting as we were paying guests. That means that you do not get your monies worth, if you don't have a cooked breakfast which I find a real cheat. There was no fresh fruit on the table. We would never go again, which is sad as the pub itself was very good.
