This place is impeccable! The food is next to none!!! I had the scotch egg for starters the other day and I was blown away by how amazing it was!!! I've never had anything like it in my life! The chef deserves a medal!
New Years Eve meal. I was very surprised to get a table on new years eve as I'd left it late to book somewhere. Was thrilled to get a table and the food and service did not disappoint. I had the pate to start and the chicken curry for my main. Both were lovely, the chicken curry was delicious and one of the best curries I've ever had. I did have a dessert of pear and apple trifle but I really didn't need it as I was full but this was also very good . Service was excellent. Will definitely be back .
Firstly the food is absolutely amazing though not cheap. The staff are very polite and can’t do enough to make your dining experience the best it can be. The rooms are so nice especially if you have one of the big rooms with the freestanding baths. Location is fab right in the centre of Tavistock and only a cpl of miles and you are deep on Dartmoor. All in all perfect
Excellent service excellent food. It is not cheap, but the price reflects the quality of the food and the service. Comfortable and not packed close to fit in as many tables as possible. My only criticism is that it may be a little bright in there and less "intimate" than other places. But if you want a great meal with an excellent menu, this is the place to go..
If you are looking for basic pub food this is the wrong place to go. The food experience was Michelin class. The plating was simple with the main ingredient showcased. The vegetable were all placed on seperate plate. The duck was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. If in Tavistock you should not miss this experience if you are a food lover. Staff very friendly and helpful.
