Had a meal last night with my husband. Both of us loved the food. Was delicious. Would go back again and again. The staff were really friendly to, especially the guy behind the bar!!
Only criticism the corner we sat in at the back right side has alot of damp... didn't create a perfect romantic setting but with a bit of TLC that corner could look a little nicer. Other than that a beautiful lovely pub!!
First time we have eaten at The Devon Dumpling. OMG it was the best roast dinner I have ever had .we will certainly be returning.
Lovely friendly staff .
We are lucky to have the Devon Dumpling as our local and go there frequently. Good food, great atmosphere and we’ve never been disappointed. Highly recommend :)
Just had a wonderful lunch....mackeral and a chicken dish...10 out of 10 for quality of food, service etc....on holiday in Paignton from Southern Spain...will come again..
An excellent fish and chips, served with lemon and tartare sauce, really crispy batter and good chips. No option for mushy... We booked in advance, and they'd seated us in a bit that was awkward access (table long side with a wall behind and not much space either side to squeeze through) for some of us, but it was in a quiet area of the pub. Toilets were very clean.
I haven't actually sampled the food here yet, but judging from the menu and the specials board, I'd say it's very good value for money - a little more expensive than some pubs, but nevertheless a wide and interesting choice. I shall update the review once I've visited.
The interior décor was charming, it's clearly an old pub with history, and the beer garden has been laid out on different levels with several discrete sections. The fishpond, with tinkling water-feature, did make me want to pee before I'd finished my first pint, but otherwise it was a charming break.
Update:
I've eaten here three times since the initial review above, and can say that all meals so far tried have been very nice. The portions, be warned, are on the generous side. You might not have room for the entire meal, let alone desert.
Visited as a party of 10, pre booked and ordered.
Staff were lovely and helpful, friendly and efficient, and any problems were quickly rectified.
The food was lovely, everyone enjoyed their meals. Only comment about the prawn salad there were ALOT of prawns and not much salad, and the salad was just leaves also there was no soft egg as on the menu. It tasted ok though.
The busy atmosphere in the bar was good with a variety of groups; families, friends and couples.
Great little place, found when checking Google and booked a table. The food was reasonably priced and quite large portions.
Atmosphere was ice and the staff were great. Free on site parking.
Actually missing this place now we are back from holiday.
Well worth the visit, you won't be disappointed.
Parsnip soup amazing, coleslaw very creamy, burger eas tasty, hunters chicken was good, not dry. Chips most were nice but some where undercooked.
Phoned ahead to book, all good. Good beer on offer, excellent service, excellent food which considering how busy they were, was served promptly. Excellent sized portions. We all had something different except for for two of us having the trio of meats. Steaks cooked to perfection. One was medium rare and one was well done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Devon Dumpling.
Excellent pub. Quality food with generous portions - good value and extensive menu. Helpful polite staff. Good choice of real ale - Doombar and Jail ales and Thatchers cider on draught. Large garden . Highly recommended. Lunchtime ploughmans and filled jackets exceptional.
Food was delicious. Service was slow (lunch time) but that could have just been that particular day. Good choice of food. I recommend the chicken breast wrapped in bacon in a creamy sauce with potatoes. :)
Delicious home cooked food. Didn't have a full menu like before with lighter bites. But thoroughly enjoyed large meal and the yummy desserts.
The food is absolutely outstanding as is the service. What let's it down after our vist yesterday evening was how cold it was inside. No heating was on so I asked one waitress who said it's just about to come on. It did not so asked another waitress and she said its can be slow in heating up. In actual fact it never came on. My 77 year old mum was freezing and we ate in our coats and left sooner than we planned. Also because it was so cold our food was piping hot but went cold within 10 minutes. We were going to book for boxing day but we can't be that cold again when eating. They really need to address the heating because as I said, the food is to die for and I really want to go back but unfortunately not when it's so cold. All the people eating were in coats and hats, a couple of ladies moved tables to see if it was warmer and most people left early. Come on Devon dumpling please put your heating on.
Just had a great lunch
Had an offer of two meals for £20 and the portions were massive. Well worth a visit. Excellent
