The best restaurants in Salcombe and Malborough South Hams South West

Very clean, organised barn stop offering a good selection of cakes and snacks. Also a great variety of drink choices. Clean and tidy tables and toilets. All offered on an honesty basis. I hope people respect this trust and pay for a lovely place to stop and refuel.

Gorgeous, good quality food. The service was really friendly and beautifully presented. This was the second season we’ve visited.

The made-to-order take away sandwiches from here are made with quality ingredients, and very well filled, probably actually overfilled. The issue I have with them though is they are sometimes not made with as much care as they could be, even in the quiet season. It seems to me that the staff are instructed to put a certain amount of, say, salami in, etc, but this is put in straight from the packet without it being separated so you find yourself biting through a slab of meat rather than it being nicely separated and spread throughout the sandwich. In a similar way the cheese (especially the brie) is often sliced too thickly. I genuinely think that less could be more, with the sandwiches being better for having slightly less filling but made with more care. A win-win for customer and owner is there for the taking.

Delicious food and one of the best cheese and onion pastys and very good staff

We booked for the New Years Eve gala dinner as we were staying nearby (although not in the hotel). The service was perfect - the manager Neil was charming and all his team did an amazing job on the night. We couldn't fault a single thing. The food - and food choices - were very good, well presented and many items were local. The DJ was good - I love a good dance - and the whole atmosphere was festive. I don't often write reviews but we had such a great time and were so impressed by the evening, I wanted to let people know. The hotel is well places, great views and a great atmosphere. We look forward to visiting on a sunny day in future!

We had a delicious dinner here last night. Despite being a wintery, cold January evening the welcome and atmosphere was warm and inviting. Starters included mussels, scallops and prawns which were all delicious. Mains were the fish of the day, crab linguine and mussels. Again, all delicious - the only comment would be that the fish was slightly overcooked but had excellent flavours and was still enjoyed. We were very well looked after and the attention to detail was excellent. Thoroughly recommend and definitely book at busier times of year as there aren't many tables. Thank you for an excellent dinner.

Delicious coconut ice cream and lots of flavours to choose from! ♡

this was a very pleasant surprise! Given the gorgeous location in exclusive and rather expensive Salcombe, I wrongly expected that the very reasonable prices at Bo's would lead to a fairly mediocre dining experience. Very happy to be proved wrong. The food was fresh, tasty and well presented. I also noticed that they don't charge extra if you want oat milk in your coffee. This is a bit of a bug bear with me just now, so extra points to Bo's for this.

Great service, very friendly. Breakfasts were excellent. Went back several times. Well used by locals. Always a good sign.

Booked in advance. Table ready on time Waitress extremely friendly and polite. We were advised there was a massive table in but we were still a little disappointed when it took 1 hour and 5 mins for the mains to arrive The starter arrived after about 30 minutes The starter was amazing. Great portion and super crispy fish. My husband’s ribs were a good size, chips decent and a little pot of coleslaw Unfortunately my salmon (£24) came and the size of the salmon was wholly inadequate given the price and even more so as they were aware how long we had waited. I pointed it out ( they agreed ) and I was given a fantastic replacement 15 mins later but my husband had finished eating. Hardly the idea of sharing a meal together. I was offered a free drink but as I was on squash I saw little point. I had hoped I would be offered a goodwill discount but sadly this was not the case. I was not going to ask as I shouldn’t have to. So overall wonderful food let down by the chef and waiting staff letting it go out when it was clearly an inadequate portion. I have only dropped one star for the issue we incurred as the food quality, staff and ambience were great.

SUPERB…. We had the haddock, chips, minted peas etc personally delivered to our accommodation , a beautiful holiday cottage behind the restaurant, which is dog friendly and has stunning views. The whole experience is excellent and we cannot fault any of it. Everything wonderfully cooked to perfection. Thankyou.

We've been coming here for six years. The staff were always very friendly and the food excellent. Not any more ! Under new ownership, there has now been no food at all for several months and the staff are often off-hand. To make it worse, the Old Inn website still claims that food is served and even gives a sample menu. The pub's facebook group, which has frequent updates from the new management, states "... high quality homecooked food sourced locally." And there are posters either side of the front door proclaiming that food is available !

Really good pizza along with great service, and the location around it makes it a great meal out, definitely recommending it!

Amazing coffee and flapjack as a lovely snack. Fabulous view over the salcombe estuary. Will most definitely be returning :)
