The Harris Arms, Portgate, DevonMonday, April 12th, 2010
We were both really disappointed – the young member of staff kept forgetting things such as the menu which would have been funny if it hadn’t meant that we had to go and get our own. The fish was really tasteless and greasy and the chips tasted like mass produced frozen chips – not what you would have expected from a pub with such a reputation. Having not been impressed by the lunchtime food, the wine i had was lovely – a Chilean merlot which was stunning. I would like to go back and try the evening menu in the hope that it was just an off day but can’t convince my husband to come!

The hotel is beautifully decorated, it is immaculate. The rooms are especially classy. The food is of a standard which far exceeds any other hotel outside of London – brilliant. The best value for money in a long time. We came back refreshed and inspired!
Having read about this pub in lots of publications and having heard about all of the awards that they had won, I was expecting a really great place for a cosy anniversary lunch with my husband.
Against Rachel’s advice I booked ‘The Palace’ Hotel for an overnight stay in Torquay and will probably never live it down. We were recommended it by a resident of the town and it looks ok on the website but my god, it was surreal… A bit like being on a cruise – everybody was over 60 – the dining room was huge and a pianist played what my nephew described as ‘funeral music’ to mask the din of clattering plates and chomping dentures…
One of my pet hates in most restaurants and hotels is that once you’ve eaten you seem to be off the horizon, and this establishment was no different. If only they cared about us after dinner this place could have been as high as 9/10 all round.
I heard about the Westwood B&B through the Damien Hirst restaurant 11 The Quay’s website, in fact I thought is was affiliated, later found out it was actually a little drive away from the restaurant down on the harbour tucked away up a steep drive on a road that would not be out of place in Michael Jackson’s video Thriller!
Kittiwell House is the shining example of a B&B that looks nice on the website, not so great in real life… First impressions, a lovely Devon longhouse. A roaring fire welcomed us in the reception where a friendly girl checked us in. She went on to inform us that they’d be no staff there that night because they’re all going out (fair enough) and showed us to our room.
