Twenty Seven by Jamie Rogers in South Hams

We visited for Sunday lunch and without doubt this is the best in the area if not in the country. Food quality, service and presentation all outstanding. Excellent value when considering the quality of the offering. Could not recommend more highly

Fantastic French onion soup with Welsh rarebit

We celebrated my wife’s 50th on New Years Eve which had been planned as a surprise with Claire the host, over the past 12 months in secrecy. There were 9 of us dining and I must say from the moment we entered and were greeted by Claire herself. We were all made to feel at ease and it was as though we had all known each other all of our life’s (the reality is we had travelled from Shropshire some 250 miles away and had never visited the area previously). We were excited and immediately knew the experience would live up to our expectations. To be honest it exceeded them. There were just 2 in our party that had previously been lucky enough to of eaten at fine dining establishments previously including some owned by celebrity chefs. However, we have to say Jamie’s signature tasting menu was exquisite, very special, exceeded our expectations and I would encourage anyone to try this gastronomical extravaganza- I promise you will NOT be disappointed. The whole team backed Jamie and Claire throughout the evening and were very attentive, polite and informative of each and every course. Kingsbridge is very lucky to have such a hidden gem, we will not hesitate in revisiting if we were in the beautiful County of Devon once again. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, Jamie himself topped off our experience by visiting our table in person, thanking us for our custom and proceeded to offer us some complimentary drinks as we had spent a lot of money with him. As a proprietor of my own business appreciation, common courtesy and good old values are often lacking in the World we presently live in, I am afraid to say. So thank you Jamie, Claire and team for the hospitality, generosity, memories and experience you afforded my family and making my wife’s 50th birthday so special. We wish you every success in 2025 and beyond as you both most certainly deserve it, in such a challenging and competitive industry that you apply your craft within. The Holland Family.

Really lovely meal here , impeccable service and relaxed fun atmosphere. Food was great but we felt the vegetables had been a bit over fussy..... puréed and chopped way too fine , but I am being picky here as we would definitely recommend and return.

I've visited here twice now when I've been on holiday in Devon and I love it. The food is absolutely superb, I thoroughly enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu, and as a vegetarian, I felt there was such a lot of thought put into the dishes I was served. There are so many places I've visited where the vegetarian options are barely considered with just one standard option with zero thought to it. Jamie has put such a lot of thought and care into the dishes, which shows his consideration to his diners. All of the staff are so friendly and look after you really well, Clare is a wonderful host! The restaurant is beautiful with a lovely ambience. I celebrated my birthday here and was looked after very well. Everything was perfect. Will book again whenever I'm in the area.

Ordered a 4 course a la cart meal for my brother and sister in laws 40th Wedding Anniversary by way of a voucher on the 6th Oct. 27 Kingsbridge responded very quickly by taking my money the next day 7th Oct but failed to produce the voucher. Within days they decided to close until December. They do not respond to phone call messages I have left or emails I have sent so have sent an old fashioned letter! Let's see what happens but I fear I have lost my money and the anniversary present and surprise totally ruined. Thankyou Mr Jamie Rogers and 27 Kingsbridge

The dinner here was exceptional, every dish had lovely ingredients beautifully put together, intensely flavoured but delicate at the same time , you can tell how much thought and care has gone into creating delicious dishes like this and I feel very lucky to have experienced it . The two waitresses were absolutely lovely too! Amazing evening.

Outstanding food and excellent service

Outstanding food and excellent service

Our a la carte lunch at 27 Kingsbridge was a truly wonderful experience. We were greeted by Julia who was warm, friendly, and authentic. The restaurant is elegant and comfortable . The description of the 4 starters made it difficult to choose between so three of us started by sharing four exquisite starters. The Crab Mille Feuille, Haddock Ravioli, Isle of Wight Tomato Tart and Duck Terrine. The presentation was exquisite, attention to detail superb and tastes phenomenal. For mains, we had Lamb and Beef dishes. Both were perfectly cooked—the lamb tender and flavorful, the beef rich and succulent, showcasing the chef's precise execution. For dessert we had the strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Delice. And again we were wowed by them both. 27 Kingsbridge is exceptional. A must-visit for those who appreciate fine dining at its best. If you're looking for a memorable experience then you will not be disappointed.

We will return, tasting menu was excellent.

I had booked the early dining menu several weeks before, however, when we arrived at 6.45pm, we were told that they no longer offered this. Our server, Julia, handled this really well, as I challenged her on this, and she subsequently contacted the manager, who then offered us an alternative taster menu at a lower price. The menu was delicious, and the paired wine was a really nice accompaniment. The service was excellent, Julia and the other waitress were very professional but Julia had such a natural manner, it enhanced the evening. The setting is also lovely. Well done guys

I can honestly say we had the best meal here for our anniversary. Food and staff amazing. If we ever holiday here again we will be back. Thank you

One of those really special evenings. Cannot fault 27 Jamie's food is delicious and inventive and it felt like each course outdid the last. This along with excellent service provuded by the front of house & team made for an unforgettable dining experience. Treat yourselves and book.

We had the early dinner tasting menu and the food was beautiful, presentation gorgeous, service great - staff are so lovely and friendly and helpful, however I wouldn’t recommend if you’re with friends because the atmosphere was non-existent. There were a few other tables and we felt like we had to whisper because it was so dead silent. Might be okay for a date as long as you’re not self conscious about being overheard!

Lovely meal - lunch £25 for 3 courses is fantastic value. Hake was the stand-out dish: beautifully cooked. Constructive criticism: - deserts were not the same standard as the rest of the meal. Both the cheesecake and rum baba were underwhelming in terms of flavour. Ice creams were delicious though - the sweet butter with the amuse bouche didn’t work. Way too sweet for an opener. Like having fudge on bread. Better to have an interesting savoury butter. The soup and bread themselves were delicious. - £2.50 for the amuse bouche was great value but feels like an odd amount to charge: not enough to reflect it’s true worth but also too little to presumably make money from. Personally I would either give it away for free (and charge slightly more elsewhere) or add it to the menu and charge a bit more for it.

Fantastic, delicious food and lovely charming service. Could not fault anything

I’ve taken lots and lots of people to this restaurant and without fail they have a fabulous experience They say the food is amazing and the atmosphere is lovely The staff are extremely well presented and attentive I would recommend locals and visitors alike try As I understand it It’s an experience to remember and re visit Lots of stars to this restaurant and a big thanks from the local cabbies for looking after folks while generating business for the likes of me …Susi G at Merlin’s Taxi

Food was incredible, and the service was brilliant. We had a fabulous evening, thank you to Claire and the team.

Superb fine dining! Excellent friendly, knowledgeable service! An exquisite evening with food and service from people who really care!

Great food and attentive service. We had the tasting menu which was excellent. Allow plenty of time. Atmosphere was good considering it was midweek.

Outstanding food. Lovely venue. Helpful staff.

Really good 5 course "secret tasting menu". The celeriac accompaniment to the main course was a revelation. This restaurant has improved immeasurably.

Just back from a fabulous 5 course surprise tasting menu at Twenty Seven. It was a fantastic meal - every course was delicious. We had the wine flight too and drank some excellent and very reasonably priced wines. The service was very professional and friendly. Only 3 stars on atmosphere because sadly the restaurant was quite empty - but it is a miserable February midweek night. So glad we ventured out to eat such a great meal.

A wonderful lunch in the upstairs restaurant at no. 27. The outside of the building is deceiving but it is delightful inside. The menu choice and flavours were a delight. Highly recommended amongst the other Michelin restaurants in South Devon.

I'll start by saying that we opted for the midweek, reduced price set menu. If we were to have paid full price, I would have been more disappointed and scored lower. The food overall was mixed, but overall of fairly good quality. Only 2 courses did I actively enjoy (hake and venison). The risotto was over cooked, to me. The others had some good elements but didn't really work (salted caramel butter was delicious, but was quite strange with the soup. Basil was very distracting to the lemon dish in my opinion). Again, perhaps due to the "using up ingredients" idea of the menu, 2 citrus desserts seemed too much. It was also frustrating not to know what the courses were, even after we'd arrived. If we'd seen the menu beforehand, maybe we would have reconsidered - but maybe this is the idea? Captive audience? It is also impossible to pick a wine because you don't know what you are getting. Effort had gone into the food though, it just felt like some of the ingredients were quite bluntly put together. The majority of the reduced score was because of service, though. We tried to book via phone over the course of 2 days, and had no answer. We then booked online. When calling to confirm our booking on the night, the lady who answered was a touch rude. When arriving, the same lady didn't make any effort to welcome us at all, and said she'd get someone (front of house manager). I'd also advise you make the front door/entrance clearer and more inviting. We were seated, drinks order taken, and then didn't have our existence acknowledged for 30 minutes. No bread etc. The first course was very small (no problem with that) but it was then a further 35 minutes until the next course. At an hour and 5 minutes in, we'd had just an amuse-bouche. At this point we were getting very hungry, and there was no apology or recognition of the delay. Is this the norm? The whole thing took 3.5 hours with about 30 minutes between each course. Courses would quite often come with almost no word said by the waiting staff - the youngest waitress was most friendly. The food was quite good though, and perhaps if we'd have seen the menu beforehand or decided to go for a la carte, we'd have been happier with it. Then again, we would have been expected to pay double - at which point, I think the quality falls short of the Elephant Restaurant in Torquay for example, which would be the same price. I left feeling quite annoyed, which is unfortunate, given it was meant to be a midweek treat. Would we return? Maybe for a reduced price midweek a la carte.

Not UQUIT what we were expecting! Muscled our way through the crowd at the door queuing for the bakery takeout during a village Christmas market and were pointed upstairs to an empty, and rather chilly (actually cold) dining room. Were given the 'festive' menu; asked about the 2 course lunch advertised on the website - not available, only 3 course festive menu, website 'guy' has not updated the website (not sorry!). Don't make your problem my problem! Interesting, the only other party in the restaurant for lunch were advised on booking that the 2 course menu was available; again, not now available (manager say 'no'!). So we proceeded with the 'festive' menu. Some seriously good food here indeed! Serious 'chefing' with some quality ingredients. Lovely cod, though the sauce was a bit salty. We requested the bill; it was incorrect and grudgingly changed. Enjoyed the food, but not the setting. Obviously this weekend lunch was NOT the time to visit! Unfortunate, as it could have been good!

Fantastic staff, Phenomenal food, Great decor and lovely building ! Reasonable for a Michelin starred restaurant will most definitely be back ! Thank you !!

Updated October 2023. Sunday lunch was perfect. Excellent roast beef enjoyed by all in our party of 5. Staff are charming and friendly which adds to the experience. Hope to visit again next year when we are back in the area. October 2021 Excellent food with exquisite flavours. Great service and friendly staff. The lemon meringue was sensational. Hope to return when we next visit the area.

Seven of us just had a fabulous luncheon here. The service was first class - the staff were so knowledgeable about the menu and also so friendly. The food was first class - beautifully presented and delicious. A truly memorable meal and would definitely recommend!

It was my first try but I had a great taste experience. 👏👏

Totally overrated restaurant. For a Michelin Chef the meal was bad and such small portions in small pastry baskets almost most of the 7 tasting menus ,we paid extra to have scallops but it was 1 scallop n a bit of over salted belly pork which totally spoil the flavour of the scallop. Mark has a Michelin star n he should know better .Too much salt is absolutely a no no .He didn’t like it when we mentioned it !! In fact the became very defensive. Will never make a reservation at 37 again .The taster meal with extra course cost £308 .We shared the wine package. No no to 27 restaurant in Kingsbridge

Wonderful wonderful. The atmosphere, food and service that Jamie, Claire, and the team deliver is outstanding. Fantastic Michelin star, quality food, with knowledgeable, friendly staff, who know what they’re bringing to the table makes for a memorable occasion. I don’t think you can get better anywhere in ISouth Devon than this. Thank you x

We came upon 27 by accident, looking for lunch and what a find! It was the best food we’ve had in ages. We don’t often do Michelin star restaurants but this compares to those we have visited. Every course was a real treat.

Imaginative food, which at its best is very good indeed. I had a particularly delicious banana and passion fruit soufflé. But some of the dishes didn't deliver on expectations and the service sometimes struggled. Also the wine list was disappointing for a restaurant with these aspirations, partly because they run out of too many of the wines.

Absolutely superb food - not only are you eating with your eyes (see pics), the aromas and explosions of flavour were mind blowing. We will be back to try all the dishes we missed.

Wow, what a find!! We were staying in Salcombe and had looked for somewhere exceptional to eat to celebrate our 50th birthdays knowing that we are generally underwhelmed with most places that claim to be really good. Jamie's food and his partner's hospitality were truly outstanding. We chose the full tasting menu and were not disappointed. Jamie produced course after course of stunning food with exceptional flavours and presentation. The pace of the meal was well judged and were looked after so well by Jamie's partner and all of their staff. We have eaten in some of the world's very best restaurants and this was right up there with the best. I cannot recommend Twenty Seven highly enough - a must visit and we will certainly be back. Thank you for a memorable evening.

The food was absolutely fab-u-lous! If you haven't been, you definitely should. It's a very cosy, little restaurant and staff are eager to please and all very sweet. All at 27 - Thank you for another lovely evening!!

Rocks! Came here after spotting it had a Vegan tasting menu, and full marks on dishes, only small let down were the deserts, which seems pretty uncreative and out of sync with general excellence of the main parts of the menu, Very good value at £60 for 6 great courses.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Such interesting flavour combinations. Well done you guys.

Some of the best food I've ever had the pleasure of putting in my mush. Highly recommended!

Excellent meal, loved all the courses, will definitely go back when in the area

Had an amazing, fine dining experience here. We booked as a treat and because they had a specific vegetarian tasting menu - it didn't disappoint! Such delicious food with lots of variety. An enjoyable experience all round!

Truly unique, memorable experience 100%

Visited 27 last night for the first time and certainly not the last. The experience was A plus from the reception by Claire, the waiters and waitresses to lovely food presented by master chef Jamie. A special place and deserving all the praise.

Ate at 27 tonight and can honestly say it’s up there with the best - the taster menu is sublime - the flavours out of this World - well done, epic food and service 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic food and impeccable service. A joy to return to this superb restaurant. A good team .

Wow, stunning food with exceptional service

Fabulous food!!Restaurant run with passion by a talented couple,and it shows in the food,the service and the atmosphere. 2 fixed price menus to choose from,and I would have been happy to choose anything on offer. Delightful tasters offered to wake up the taste buds,then I chose scallops with peach,which had a delicate balance of flavours which was perfect...my favourite course I think,,,followed by perfectly pink and tender beef with a crispy rib patty for texture,mushroom cream and onions presented in 2 ways lubricated with marrow jus.A classic with a twist. Every mouthful was full of flavour. Perfect pause before a strawberry and cream bomb. All in all a great evening. Thoroughly recommend.

The food is excellent. The service is also excellent but they are short staffed like most hospitality venues so it is slower than normal and the finer points are lacking e.g. filling water jugs. However, these are challenging times and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly working under increased pressure so any perceived criticism is really inconsequential - like life in Covid times we all need to be accepting and tolerant when this are not quite 100%,. This restaurant is the best in the area and should be on every foodies must visit places. Highly recommended

A huge thank you to Alex and the team for making our dinner so special! The menu was so innovative and the food was out of this world while the staff were all so so friendly. It was a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to go back soon! A dinner we will remember for years to come. Well worth a visit!!

What a rip off merchant! Ordered the 6 course menu and expectations were high, we were sorely disappointed. Service staff were rough at the edges and completely lacking in finesse, perhaps management should invest in training first. The dishes were plated attractively but totally lacking in flavour, most were too heavy on cream, mayonnaise and pastry! The dessert literally took the biscuit, the tart base was hard as rock and the filing seemed like sickeningly sweet Sunpat peanut butter paste. Do not recommend Twenty Seven by Jamie Rogers!

Made the effort to book this restaurant a few weeks before arriving for a weekend break and so glad I did. What a treat! The food was simply stunning. The service was professional, charming and timely and the setting very attractive; everything you could want in a restaurant. Best dining experience for a very long time (ignoring lockdown!). Thank you

Enjoyed a fabulous take away box from Jamie on Valentines Day. Having experienced some wonderful meals in the restaurant itself, the bar was already set high, and I knew I was in for a treat. Of course, it goes without saying - that Jamie and his fabulous crew, more than exceeded all expectations, the meal was faultless - the pictures do not do justice to the quality and taste sensations. From start to finish, everything was packaged with such care, attention to detail and love, it was simply stunning. I have tried various, at home boxes, ranging from good home cooking to celebrated chefs and can state hand on heart, that Restaurant 27 was the best, yet, by a country mile. The whole meal was fabulous but standouts were the beetroot appitezer, which was delicious, I am not actually a huge beetroot fan, but this dish was so flavoursome and the various textures were just brilliant. The Crab and lobster tian, was so fresh and sweet - just beautiful and the Fillet steak Rossini was decadent, rich and faultless. Our children joined us for the pudding course and exclaimed that the food was too beautiful to eat - they quickly changed their mind after the first taste. Such a lovely evening and was really appreciated. I can’t recommend this place high enough.

Absolutely delicious! Cannot fault it, would definitely recommend cannot wait until we can book a table at the restaurant...

Ordered and collected in 20 minutes. More like a top grade restaurant experience than a takeaway. Absolutely fabulous presentation taste. Best takeaway in Kingsbridge and yet comparatively price. A must-try.

The best take away ever? We both had the beetroot and goats cheese starter, very tasty and fabulously creamy goats cheese, also very generous portions. My wife had the Hake and wonderfully creamy fish pie. I had the best ever belly pork with puréed veg, red cabbage and mash. The crackling was perfection as was the soft and mouthwatering belly fat. So tasty and so generous. If you only treat yourself to one take away this month it must be Jamie’s

Me and my partner came here yesterday for our anniversary and had the 8 course tasting menu. Each course was cooked to perfection and was absolutely Devine, the portion sizes were stop on! The staff were polite, friendly and attentive! I couldn’t recommend beautiful place more. Although it’s a little far out for us we will definitely be back to try the normal menu. Thankyou for a smashing meal!

Me and my husband had the beef yorkshire pudding wrap today for lunch and it was absolutely delish to the point we drank the rest of the gravy as didnt want to waste any!the beef was just so tender. Best lunch in a very long time. Thank you jamie and team

All I can say is that it was a lovely treat to eat in Jamie’s restaurant, we felt really welcome from when we first walked in, the friendly staff were brilliant and their Christmas decor was very elegant and not too overwhelming compared to other places...We ordered the six course taster menu and all the combinations worked really well together and it was all very tasty!! What I was most surprised about was how filling his taster menu really was, I was even struggling on the dessert and was wondering what I would have done if I ordered the other 8 course taster which is also another option. It was a delightful evening and will definitely return! Thank you

It was my first time eating here and it was honestly amazing! The staff were extremely nice and helpful. As for the food I had the taster menu of 6 courses and it was amazing. I enjoyed every single dish and would happily go back again! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a good fine dining meal!

My wife and I had the most fabulous dining experience here on Saturday evening. Easily our best of the year so far, UK and abroad. We had the tasting menu and the food was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all really good and the ambience was amazing. The pricing for the six course tasting meal menu I thought was very reasonable. We opted for the wine pairing and the selection of wines was superb and went really well with each course. I can’t fault this restaurant nor recommend this place highly enough. I just hope that it’s success means that booking a table here doesn’t become a problem! Well done Jamie and team. See you again soon.

This is 1st class dining from a 5 star chef. Jamie's food is exceptional, not only in taste, originality and flavours but the presentation is phenominal. I cannot praise Jamie and his team highly enough, you will not be disappointed. Go and find out for yourself

The headline says it all really. This is simply my favourite restaurant in the South Hams. The food is incredible with amazing flavours and minute attention to detail. Takeaway during lockdown was a God-send and happily the restaurant is now open again. I cannot wait for my next visit.

Sensational Saturday Night. From walking into 27, whereby the team greet you with a super warm greeting, to dining - it’s a world class experience. The presentation of each dish - incredible, the delicious flavours are outstanding with great, friendly and professional service. This is one of the best experiences that we have ever had. Well done to Jamie and the team! We loved it. Thank you.

We celebrated my son’s 27th birthday @ 27! Had a delicious cocktail on arrival and chose the Taste of Summer menu with the matched drinks. It was a delight from beginning to end. Exquisite flavours and textures using local, top quality ingredients. The restaurant was busy and it was lovely to have a normal ( and very safe) night out. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient- it was the first day of the 10pm curfew and they were brilliant! We had a fabulous evening. Thank yuh Jamie and team.xxx

During lockdown 2 I've had the pleasure of experiencing many of Jamie's amazing dishes. For the past few Sunday's we have had the Sunday Roast which is so delicious. The desserts that come with it are a work of art and sublime. We definitely plan to continue this ritual. We've also had the mouthwatering pies that were a special on Wednesday nights.Visiting the restaurant in person is a real treat. I was lucky to do this prior to lockdown. You wont be disappointed with the whole experience.Highly recommend Jamie and Twenty Seven. A fabulous addition to Kingsbridge and the surrounding area.

Super lunch which was very tasty. Would have given it 5 stars but miss the finesse that Jamie brings to the table at the restaurant which is difficult to replicate at home. Keep up the excellent standard Jamie we very much appreciate having a restaurant of your standing in the town.

We went just before 2nd lockdown. Most diners were having the al a carte menu but we opted for the taster menu. This might have been a mistake. Our food was okay- the amuse bouche (artichoke and truffle cappuccino) didn’t really wake my taste buds- needed more punch- it reminded me of Horlicks. The accompanying wines came without explanation- eg this is Riesling to go with your crab tart. My main comment would be each course was okay- I’ve had better. but equally, I’ve had worse. There seemed to be something about every dish that wasn’t quite right. All in all, a pleasant evening, with pleasant service (a bit swift if anything!) in pleasant surroundings but nothing Wow! in my opinion.

Wonderful taster menus and wine flight. Really appreciated the imagination that went into providing such lovely dishes for our different dietary needs (including vegan and pescatarian). Look forward to returning again soon!

Great lunch menu and very accommodating for children - they even put on a special Halloween themed lunch which was so thoughtful

We had the take out Lobster banquet meal. Absolutely perfect. Clearly only the best ingredients, every item perfectly cooked, very clever menu and fusion of tastes, combined with impeccable attention to detail. Michelin star quality without a doubt and great value. Very easy to order and collect online. Can't wait to eat in and will definitely continue with the take out. First class :)

What an outstanding meal, which was as beautiful to look at, as it was to eat!! Truly outstanding, and always a pleasure to eat at this restaurant! Top chef and great staff!! Thankyou everyone. 😋😋😋

My mum and i chose the taster menu and couldn’t believe the amazing tastes that Jamie had put together. Everything was first class, the service was perfect and the food was unbelievable. This is now our very favourite special restaurant that we are lucky enough to live so near to. I would highly recommend anyone who loves amazing food and adventurous tastes to visit. You will not be disappointed! We had a fabulous evening. Thank you Jamie and team

We came here for our honeymoon dinner and had a fantastic evening. We had the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing, it was perfect ! All courses were great, and service was fantastic. It was also a great atmosphere in the restaurant.

As always an excellent evening, cuisine to die for. Great atmosphere and service. We are regular diners and never disappointed.

We ordered the taster menu and were excited after reading the reviews and looking at the menu! However, we were slightly underwhelmed. Some dishes were lovely (Fillet of Beef) and others not so much (Crab Tartlet). We felt the food was more about the appearance than the flavour.

Without question an exceptionally talented chef offering intelligent creative food very well executed and a delight for the diner. We had a first rate meal and the chefs talents shon with each course. A few reviewers have commented on slow service. We were there on Saturday evening and the place was full. The waiting staff worked well and efficiently but at times the operation creaked. I have no problems with this under present circumstances. This has been one of the hardest years ever for restaurateurs and I am sure Jamie is juggling staff costs against staying in business and it would not surprise me if he is working in very tight staffing levels. So dear reviewers cut him a bit of slack! We need wonderful local restaurants like this and snippy reviews at a time of crisis for the hospitality industry are just lacking in understanding.

We had a fantastic 3 course meal on Saturday evening. We arrived at 7:30pm and we're greeted and seated promptly. I had a small issue with my main but it was quickly replaced without question. The 10pn curfew is a bit of a downer but of course no fault of the restaurant and they did everything they could to make the evening great and still leave time for desert.

Delicious well presented food , but need to space tables more and have more staff. We felt tables a bit close together, service slow and luke warm tea. A restaurant of this standard should not be leaving dirty dishes on the table for so long and serving a tea bag in a cup of barely hot water. They need more staff and to stagger customer arrival times.

Marvellous restaurant. Fine dining. The restaurant setting is lovely: relax but elegant. The service was attentive. The hostess was charming. The food was excellent. He is a very good chef. We were very impressed. The flavours, the presentation and the originality of the dishes were all very impressive.

Excellent food Excellent atmosphere/ decor Excellent service Well done Jamie

Like several other reviews we experienced poor service. I had heard about Jamie on our local radio station which was very effusive in it’s praise. Our friends (who had travelled down from London) wanted to treat us so I suggested Jamie’s (I’d heard fulsome praise of Jamie’s on a local radio programme recently) which, after they had checked the reviews, was duly booked despite it being a 50 minute drive for us.We arrived 15 mins early but that wasn’t a problem, after a quick hand wash we were shown to our upstairs table. Given the current situation I was surprised how close our table was to our neighbouring tables and that none of the staff were wearing face coverings (we ate in Pierre’s in Plymouth 2 nights before and all staff wore face coverings and tables were much further apart).Menus were provided quickly, then after a bit of a wait drinks and dishes were ordered, drinks arrived promptly along with the sourdough, the amuse bouche also arrived quite quickly and was excellent. It then seemed an age before our starters turned up although they were again excellent in terms of presentation and taste. Then the wait began, drinks were finished the wine was getting low despite only 2 drinking. 2 hours after we arrived still no main course which led to one of our friends querying when we could expect our meals, we got back a specific 7 minutes but he wasn’t happy about this so asked to speak to the manager who came over and apologised and said it would be a further 5 mins. Unfortunately by this time what should have been a lovely way to say thank you had been spoilt and we chose to call it a day and leave.Other disappointing aspects were a table of two who came in after us were well into their mains courses by the time we left and another table who ordered shortly before us were on their desserts. Despite the lengthy wait at no time did any member of the front of house team come to our table to explain why it was taking over 2 hours to get our main, the assumption can only be that this is acceptable at Jamie’s (I did see a recent Facebook post that proudly declared how busy they had been one night with the last dish going out after 11pm so perhaps having a lot of covers is far more important than a timely service).The food in terms of presentation and quality were very much in line with the reputation for fine dining but as others have mentioned the customer experience does not begin and end just with the food, service and ambiance are equally as important and I think both of these were lacking for us, we experienced unacceptably slow service and there appeared to be no concession to the current situation other than a hand wash on arrival and a tube of hand wash on the table, I was certainly closer than 1.5m to our nearest neighbouring table.The impression I left with was a restaurant that can and does produce as much fine food as it can but don’t seemed concerned about any other aspect of creating a great experience for their customers, very disappointed with Jamie and staff.

We were recommended this restaurant by friends of ours who have holidayed in the area previously and we were not disappointed. The ambience is lovely and the staff are incredibly friendly upon arrival. One thing that was so pleasing to us was that we were welcomed even with our 5 month old daughter. We always enjoyed eating out before having a baby but we’ve found that not all restaurants are so accommodating when you have a little one in tow sadly. The service couldn’t be faulted and I was kindly recommended a wine to suit my main, again this was a big tick for me as not all restaurant staff know their products! The food was fab, a real taste explosion; they were fully booked the night we were there but the waiting times weren’t too long at all. Our only regret was that one of us was driving so the next time we visit this restaurant, we plan to have a babysitter so we can try the taster menu paired with the wine!

Took my girlfriend for her 50th birthday, we are massive foodies and have dined among others at the Fat Duck, the Waterside Inn, the Hinds head and the French Horn being some of our favoured haunts. Jamies food is on par with all of these and better than some. Probably the best resturant in the South Hams if not Devon. We would recommend the beef and the lobster thermidor as mains both were our best meals this year.

My family and I visited the restaurant on a Friday evening, and from the moment we entered we felt welcomed, relaxed and at ease. The food and service was fantastic and was faultless. I had the scallops, lobster and posh fries and the new Apple crumble - it was amazing! A special mention to Harriet who was an absolute delight - I would will be recommending 27 by Jamie to everyone I know in the area. I can’t wait to return!!!

Our first time at the restaurant tonight, was not disappointed. Food, atmosphere and service was outstanding. I cannot recommend this gem of a restaurant enough. This was the first night of our holiday and couldn’t have ate anywhere nicer. The photos speak for themselves...

We had the tasting menu with a flight of wine. The food was excellent: it looked beautiful and had an interesting mix of flavours and textures.The service was relaxed but professional.It was a pity that they’d run out of dessert wine to compliment the final course and the replacement passion fruit cocktail was not an ideal replacement, but overall this was a superb meal.

Excellent food, service and setting.We would have chosen the tasting menu, but out of 6 courses 2 were very sweet looking deserts and I do not eat sugar. They could not offer any alternative, i.e. these or another savoury dish, so sadly we had to decline.

Our last holiday night & we opted for the excellent takeaway... treated ourselves to fish & chips 27 style which was a real treat.. but tbh the starters & desserts were more than a match for the mains ... only wished we’d booked a table in the restaurant!‍♂️.. definitely on our reasons to return list Thanks & all the best for the rest of a crazy 2020

Just had another amazing take away from here as at the moment we still don't want to go out for a meal. So this is the next best thing.

The restaurant looks really cool and had a great vibe as soon as we walked in. We were put on a table that was too small but as soon as we mentioned it they immediately cleared another table and moved us. Our first impression was the menu wasn’t extensive, however we all found something that we fancied. Oh my god the food was outstanding. I think focusing on a smaller number of dishes and making them taste as good as they do is definitely something they should continue to do. Everything, was beautifully presented and looked nearly looked as good as it tasted. All dishes where fantastic, but the winners of the night was the sea bass and the millionaires chips from the lobster dish. Didn’t expect to get excited about a bowl of chips. It was a little on the pricy side, but you know what, for food if this quality it’s worth the money. We would 100% recommend it.

It is a lovely restaurant, immaculately presented with excellent, efficient service but it is expensive. The bass was beautiful and I would highly recommend, the foie gras starter rather more ordinary and not what I was expecting, and the puddings were pleasing. Intricate, sophisticated cookery but I just felt something was missing. It was a lovely evening, thanks to Chef and staff.

There was chaos the evening we came, my birthday the 2nd September, apparently they had an absent chef. However the staff though rushed off their feet managed admirably especially the front of house manager. Our food was exquisite especially the sea bass which is often very boring and rarely truly fresh, it was perfect. We were also very grateful for a free drink in recompense for a seat right by the door especially as we had booked well in advance but as I said all resolved kindly.

I had booked 27 well in advance, paid a £20 deposit and received and email saying “We have a grace period of 5 mins. Please call if you are running later than 5 mins...” the email went on to say “Your table will be booked for 1 hours 30 minutes for parties of up to 2...”. So with that email in mind we arrived just before our time of 7.30! We were shown to a table on the first floor laid from 3 people - we said we are only two and was assured this was the right table only to be asked to move 5 minutes later. It was 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken and just over an hour before our first course turned up - foie gras and crab tartlet - both looked great and were delicious. Our main courses arrived 40 mins later (we both had the lamb cutlets) and the whole meal was super, unusual flavour combinations that really worked. But we had almost lost the will to live and we were not the only ones to have been kept waiting. We finally left just after 10 o’clock (2 hours 30 mins) - to be fair Jamie did send two complimentary side dishes with our main meal and did take the cost of deserts off the final bill but the long wait for drinks and food really took the edge off the whole evening. 27 is not cheap, when you are paying top prices for food you expect top service too. Would have marked exellent had the service been up to it. Covid-19 - Hand anti-bac on each table not at the front door. Staff were not wearing masks and the resturant was full with not much space between tables however diners were back to back with the next table which we thought was just about ok.I would highly recommend the food but would I go there again and risk the service? Not sure.

Delicious Food! We had a great meal here. 3 courses, cocktails and wine. Every dish was beautiful and very tasty, using lots of local produce. The staff were friendly and professional.

Booked and paid a deposit in advance and mentioned listed Dine membership on arrival which attracts a discount. Planned to have the tasting menu with potential spend of £150 for a couple. Jamie sent a message via waitress that he was no longer in the Dine membership scheme with no further explanation; this despite his restaurant being currently listed on the Dine membership app. Would have appreciated some small gesture, or further explanation, but no, nothing was going to happen. The waitress I spoke to said in her opinion the discount should be honored, but there was nothing she could do about it as it was totally Jamie's decision. She was obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable. On principle we decided to leave. Jamie obviously cares about his food which I'm sure is excellent, but perhaps his customer facing skills are not so good? On a positive note, at least we got our deposit refunded. On behalf of Jamie, I have taken the trouble to report this to Dine, who hopefully will remove his apparent membership in their scheme so that other customers are not misled.

Went back for a second visit in two weeks and, again, the food was superb. Jamie puts some very interesting flavours together and they work! Cannot fault the food, or the staff - all girls, all friendly and very welcoming. The music playlist is the most eclectic I’ve ever heard - one minute jazz, then soul, then dance music. Like the food, it works! One little niggle - last night there was a young boy on the table next to us. He became very bored whilst mum and her friend worked their way through the six course tasting menu. He was throwing himself over the chair as though swimming, not sitting still, and being generally very distracting. Apparently he was Jamie’s son, which explained why the staff were all so tolerant of him I suspect. Not the child’s fault, but maybe mum could have brought something to entertain him? For some reason, last night the service was s.l.o.w. We were there for over three hours. The restaurant was full, which speaks volumes for the food, and it’s a small kitchen sending out brilliantly presented meals and there were three more tables than on our last visit. Maybe if Jamie Junior hadn’t been so distracting we wouldn’t have noticed the time it took. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant and we will certainly pay another visit if we return to Kingsbridge
