Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Buckfastleigh

We were delighted to return to Restaurant 27 again today on a miserable cold January day. The food was as excellent as always- creative, beautifully presented and amazing value. Also the main course plate was nice and hot! It’s our new favourite restaurant in the South Hams- thank you Jamie, Charlotte and the team. Good luck for 2025. Jo and Louise R.

3 of us visited mid week for lunch, having read such good reviews, and we weren't disappointed. A great low key vibe without any pretension, small and with excellent staff. The four course tasting menu was absolutely delicious, very different flavours and styles. A highlight was perfectly cooked cod loin with a cauliflower puree and dill oil. The only thing we didn't like do much were the drink flights (we had both alcohol and virgin). Some of the flavours were too challengng for us. When we go back (which we will) we'll probably just get a bottle of wine to enjoy.

Tried The Longstore after it was recommended by a colleague. First impression was great, a large woodburner keeping it warm, comfortable chairs and a very nice staff. Although the music was to our taste, it was a tiny bit too loud but they happily turned it down a notch on request. The food was outstanding. We had scallops to start, then Rib Eye steak. I asked to have an extra salad rather than the bits that came with the steak and I must say it was the most delicious salad I have ever had and a massive portion too! I hardly ever tip, but today they got a well deserved 10%. Definitely going back!

Best Sunday roast ever in a traditional pub, can’t recommend this place enough!

Wonderful service. Excellent food. Lovely ambience.
