Traditional English Pub and Carvery. Servicing fresh and local produce. Dessert Kitchen serving homemade; crepes, waffles, sundaes, crumbles, apple pies, you name it!
Reviewed By Jeanni44
We walked into what appeared to be a barn furnished cheaply with long rows of wooden tables and chairs.The carvery is a £1 dearer on a Sunday at £9 and quoted as âThe SUPER Carvery â but it was far from Super.The Turkey was rolled and resembled plastic, the pork, lamb and gammon were indistinguishable as they were all dry and grey. But there was always the beef, at the carved end it was red with congealed blood and I can only think that all the meat had been on the counter since they opened at 12.As we had no food in the house because we had just returned from holiday we picked what looked edible and then reviewed the veg.Shredded cabbage was dry and had no colour, carrots, potatoes, red cabbage not bad but none looked appetising the way they were layer out.Gravy, was thick brown and looked more like paint.We sat down, picked at our plates but it did not taste any better than it looked.How this place has received the good reviews it has had since it opened I donât know???

Tried this restaurant as it is at quieter end of Paignton seafront. We had cod and chips and scampi and chips both meals were good and served in a reasonable time. The terrace outside where we had a drink after our meal is lovely.

Here for lunch today ( Friday)Had read the reviews which seemed mixed but pretty much came here for the views/location on a wild wet & windy day. Instead metaphorically blown away by this tight knit family operation.The genuine friendliness of front of house & wait staff combined with swiftness of service & unexpectedly good food equates to a pretty damn good dining experience. We came for the fish & squid (listed online menu items) but once read up on the history & provenance of their pizza oven/dough/experience changed our minds & we ordered the French ( â trois fromage, mozzarella, Brie, roquefort ) & the Greek ( âsmoked aubergine, oregano & halloumi cheese). The French was indeed everything it promised and more - so I would recommend anyone visiting come for this alone!The Greek, whilst perfectly adequate, did not deliver on promise - the aubergine didnât even have a hint of smokiness & if there was oregano in it, it was so canât as to not even surface. Bother the aubergine & halloumi in tiny chunks hence flavour lacking - would be better served with larger chunks of aubergine & slivers of halloumi to provide some sort of flavour distribution. Massive boon - unlike many high end restaurants we have visited this trip- these guys actually have proper, functional, salt & pepper grinders on every table!!!!The overall experience fabulous & would highly recommend.

Whilst visiting a friend who lives in Paignton we have popped into the lions monocle several times and never been disappointed with the range of cocktails... Just wish I could drink more in one visit! Just means I have to go back as often as possible! The drinks are great and staff are marvelous and very friendly. Highly recommended.

We arrived feeling famished! We chose this very reasonably priced Carvery. The meat and vegetables were beautifully cooked, This is the best place to go to for a Sunday carvery, the meat is always cooked to perfection. The vegetable selection was large and well presented. Great value and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely awful service.Waited 15 min for 4 coffees after being asked to wait to one side for my order and watched while others joined the queue and received their drinks and cakes before me.When I questioned why I was told âwe have a system âObviously not!! Poor service,poor overpriced drinks and a completely chaotic queuing system with three queues filtering into one.My advice would be if you want food or drinks.......Go to the pub next door.

We have family down here so are often in the area and found this gem about 2 years ago......Had the breakfast deal for £4.50 including tea or coffee on Sunday.All freshly cooked with a choice of fried bread or toast and instead of extra hash brown you could have more sausage, bacon or egg. Served till midday I think.It was amazing value, very tasty and good quality sausages and bacon.The best brekkie in Torbay!
