On arrival I went to park my vehicle in the car park however the spaces are very small and not loads of room to get around. The room itself was clean and tidy room, with a nice size desk to do work on. The bathroom...is a little cramped and the shower was not very powerful. However, my all in all experience was good and would stay again. The food was great too.More

We are down visiting family in Plymouth and having had a successful gluten free visit here last year we went back. Soup and sandwiches in the bar area..dog friendly if that matters to anyone. Good awareness, particularly from one of the lovely ladies behind the...bar and even though the sandwiches menu didn’t say the smoked salmon bagel could be adapted she heard me talking to the barman and said as long as I was happy with gf bread rather than a bagel it was fine. The butternut squash soup was fantastic and came with a hot gf roll and no croutons. We are planning to take my 90 year old mum in law on Friday for a cream tea, and if I phone Thursday when it’s definite they’ll make sure there’s a gf scone too. There’s a car park, and a lift for wheelchair access, but the riverside car park is just a few minutes away if it’s full.More

Although as residents at the Bedford Hotel, we chose to eat in. (We were not on the DB&B deal) There is a fabulous choice on the menu, albeit the same for lunch as it is for dinner, nevertheless the choice is phenomenal, and suited the...both of us very well. The portions are very generous so my advice would be, whilst as I said the choice is very tempting (tasters, starters, mains whatever) just remember the portions are very generous! But no complaints what so ever, and the service is exemplaryMore

Had sandwiches here and they were nothing to shout about. Bread wasn’t very fresh and the filling was sparse.

Visiting the Christmas market 4 of us decided to have lunch at the Bedford. Several years since our last visit - still quite dated and old fashioned but busy. Very disappointed with the limited menu which had only one vegetarian option - jackfruit curry! Very...strange combinations - traditional Ploughman's and chicken burger both with onion bhaji? Don't think so! Hake with pakchoi? Not one starter appealed to any of us so went straight for the main dishes. 3 chose the fish and chips which were okay and quite large portions. I chose the ham, egg and chips. Well, I don't even know where to begin! A portion of chips served separately and a plate half covered with watercress. A rectangular shape covered in a liquid cream coloured sauce. Where was the ham? The poached egg? Absolutely disgusting! The waitress told me it was 'pressed ham' but it was just a mess of what looked like shredded pink meat soaked in the sauce. the egg was on the top also covered in this sauce? I did try a few mouthfuls but it was so salty and so soggy I left the rest. We didn't bother with desserts and won't be returning. Read lessMore

The food was excellent, beautifully presented and expertly served by Grace, together with Vicky. We both had the soup, absolutely delicious, served with hot rolls straight from the oven. I then chose the Waldorf salad, again, perfect for me, and my husband had the Ploughman’s....It was enormous, with thick slices of both chicken and ham, - you name it, it was there. A really fabulous spread. He followed that (!) with treacle tart and clotted cream, and I chose one scoop of ice cream, served with rest berries, for decoration. It was a wonderful birthday experience, and I would like to thank all those concerned, especially Grace for looking after us so well….a big very thank you.More

We visit Tavistock from time to time but we have never tried the restaurant. We were bought a voucher for Christmas and used it yesterday. We had the ploughmans lunch which was great as it was a super hot day. The young waitress went the...extra mile - we wish we had got her name and we couldn't find her to leave her a tip. Quality of the produce was excellent. It would have been nice to have had e a piece of granary bread rather than rolls but just a minor point. Good value and we will, be back to try the curry!More
