The Weary Ploughman - Torbay

Excellent food, good service and reasonable price. Who can ask for more? Menu goes from pub basics to full on restaurant.

At first glance, this restaurant may seem like a typical pub, but don't be fooled by appearances. The surprise of the delicious food, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere makes it a fantastic dining spot. I tried the braised lamb in red wine gravy with a suet crust, roasties, and fresh mixed vegetables which was outstanding. The beef and jail ale pie was also top-notch. The homemade custard tart was delectable, although I believe it would be better paired with a lighter accompaniment than the thick clotted cream. Personally, I would prefer ice cream or a raspberry sorbet. Overall, I had a great experience here and I wish it were closer to home. I highly recommend this place.

I tried the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc for my first glass of wine, and found it barely drinkable. I decided to switch to a medium-size (175 ml) glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc for the next round. However, I was shocked to see that it cost £9.30! I thought it must have been a mistake, but unfortunately it wasn't. While I understand that prices have increased, this pricing is unreasonable and excessive.

Wow, what an incredible discovery! I dined at this restaurant tonight with my partner and parents, and we had a truly delicious meal. The pies were outstanding, filled with a generous amount of steak. My partner tried the fish and chips and loved it. Can't wait to come back again!

The food here is spectacular but the service is soooooo sloooow. Arrived at 5.30 still waiting for desserts at 7.15 PM. The wait for food is too long. Need more staff. It's a shame because it could be a really good place to eat if they sped up a bit
