Where to Visit from Chestnut

Eating out around Buckland

Our local towns of Dartmouth & Kingsbridge together with the surrounding villages offer a wealth of eating and drinking establishments.

The restaurants are some of the finest in the West Country so why not indulge yourself and tantalise your taste buds at Michelin Star establishments with renowned chefs.  Alternatively good old fashioned pub food can be found in family friendly establishments around the towns and villages, many with al-fresco facilities.

Whether you are looking for the ultimate dining experience for your South Hams holiday, or simpler eating options, our local directories offer a range of choices.

Close by we have the unique Venus beach restaurants at Blackpool Sands, East Portlemouth and Bigbury on Sea serving from breakfast to early evening.  www.lovingthebeach.co.uk

The famous Start Bay Inn on the sea wall at Torcross serves some of the best fish meals available anywhere.  Slapton also has it's own quality pub restaurants at the Tower Inn and Queens Arms.

Further afield, The Cricket Inn at Beesands offers locally caught crab, lobster and scallops.

In recent years Devon & Cornwall have benefited from the resurgence of Real Ale micro breweries resulting in over 15 new brews being available in our local pubs.  Some of these new breweries are close by to Buckland and include: Quercus, Otter, Sharps Doombar, Bays, Dartmoor and South Hams

East Street — one of our favourites, first brewed to celebrate the 500th guest beer at the Dartmouth Inn, Newton Abbot.  It was named by a customer in a competition, now a regular beer at the Old Inn at Halwell.

Not wanting to forget the wine connoisseurs, we have a local award winning vineyard to visit at Sharpham near Totnes with its alfresco bistro bar.  www.sharpham.com

The wines at Sharpham vineyard are a result of a happy marriage of soil, climate and grape variety — known as terroir.  Add to this the use of both New World and traditional techniques and the result is a laudable tally of International Awards.

Likewise, using traditional production methods, we have an award winning range of English cheeses.
