    Had beef Sunday dinner. The beef was so tough. Tried 2 different knives but simply couldn’t cut it. My partners was the same. A shame as the rest of the meal was lovely. Unfortunately no one came to ask us how the meal was. I left all of my beef and my partner left most of his. We left very disappointed.

    The service from staff was extremely good, I had a view into the kitchen through the glass door, and the staff were non stop. Orders were coming out very quick, which was impressive. Waiting staff were very courteous, and the uniforms they wore were very professional. I would personally recommend this venue to others,,the prices were reasonable in regards to a location that is renowned to be very touristy. I was in a party of three celebrating my wife’s birthday. Our meals were very enjoyable, but my wife’s meal we noticed had a covering of sea salt of the plate, it did mar the meal but not to the extent that we would have sent it back,,,the salt was just scraped to the side of the plate,,,(someone putting on seasoning salt and forgot to take the top off the grinder) as I have done before. Thank you for your service and to your hard working kitchen staff and serving staff,,they were in and out with orders ensuring that customers were not waiting for their orders.

    The vegetarian choice was good, food excellent very hot, plenty of it and the service was lovely. The meat option was also very good. So nice to have really hot food. We had a sharing pudding which was ample and very delicious. The service was wonderful. I had a very nice glass of wine. The atmosphere is very nice and the noise level was perfect.

    Very tasty food, we had prawn cocktails, lasagne, ham hock and chicken pie, crumble and sticky toffee. All freshly cooked and good sized portions. Cosy dining area with log fire. You order at the bar but this means you don't feel rushed

    We had Sunday Roast dinners. Last year it was wonderful but on Sunday the beef was so rare it was barely cooked, the vegetables looked to be from a pack of frozen veg. The roasted parsnips and potatoes were lovely. But the Yorkshire puddings were not home made, they were bought ones. The waitress never came over to check and ask if everything was OK as is normal practice. We were very disappointed as a year ago it was exceptional. Maybe there is a new chef? It's a shame as we were planning on eating there again this week but we will try somewhere else.
    The Devonshire ArmsResponded on 8 March 2025
    Dear Julie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent Sunday Roast didn't meet your expectations, especially after having a wonderful experience last year. We appreciate your comments about the beef and vegetables and will certainly look into this with our kitchen team. It's disappointing to hear that our service fell short as well. We strive to ensure every guest has a great experience, and your feedback will help us improve. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, The Devonshire Arms
