Location & Atmosphere

• "Beautiful location, traditional cosy pub vibes, very friendly and welcoming staff."
• "Nice location by the river Teign. Friendly staff, good food."

Cons:

• "It's situation is fantastic, right next to the river. It was lovely watching the tide come in, and for twitchers, waterbirds can be glimpsed. Unfortunately, 'progress' means it's not so isolated anymore, Kingsteignton now surrounds it."
• "Nice Riverside location. Unfortunately on a busy Sunday, much of the menu had been decimated. No carvery. The food we did get was not the best, obviously reheated."
• "Such a peaceful location to go for some food after a spot of bird watching at the nearby Stover country park as you can continue to bird spot whilst relaxing with your meal."
• "It’s quite a nice location if you ignore the noisy A road, but it’s a pretty tired place that needs updating."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The monkfish, lasagne, home made burger with bacon and the chips were all top notch. As were the amazing onion rings."
• "The home made pie was really meaty and the fish and chips were excellent."
• "We both opted for the pie of the day which was absolutely delicious."
• "Food was nicely prepared and tasty."
• "Food lovely, and menu covers most aspects of choice (options of fish, meat, chicken, vegi etc), great pace about the service."
• "We had 3 carveries and 1 seabass fishcakes. The carvery was one of the best I've had for a long time."
• "Great food, great service from the waitresses who were extremely busy but still smiling."
• "Well impressed! Great gluten free menu!! Food was delicious, good size portions and reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "The gnocchi was overcooked and swimming in something that looked and tasted like canned tomato soup."

• "A long wait.....Passage house burger came without coleslaw and no one said anything. The fish of the day was cremated and served with very dry peas."
• "Served with spoiled coleslaw. Salad leaves are mix with rotten leaves."

• "Had the steak, it was just about the toughest, most stringy piece of meat I've ever had."
• "The food was nice and staff made a lot of effort keeping tables clean and sanitised. The same cannot be said for the toilet however."
