Lifton Hall - West Devon

Went with husband for a meal and was bowled over. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My husband had the ham and potato soup and is sure it is the best soup he has ever tasted. I had katsu curry which was homemade and...delicious, my husband had sea bream which was well cooked. For desert my husband had a fabulous cheese board and i had the most glorious homemade pavlova with chewy meringue. We will be going back again as we were so impressed. It will be worth the 1.5hr drive each way from home.

Thoroughly Disappointing. Having booked over a month earlier for 7.30pm mid-week, we arrived just before time and were shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken and delivered quickly, but we waited ages for the waitress to take our food order. To our shock,...we were advised that everything we asked for on the menu was no longer available. Looks like they first cater for the large rowdy parties of 15 people or more before they cater for the smaller number of guests sitting at tables. We decided to call it a day when the noise from the large rowdy party was so loud we could no longer hold a conversation. Guests from other tabes started to share looks across the room of dissatisfaction. One lady had her fingers in her ears as she mouthed to her partner its just so loud over there. So, can't rate the food as we didn't get to order any. We informed the owner how we felt, but he showed little concern. He just took our money for the drinks and no apology offered. but we won't be back as this is the 2nd time we have visited this restaurant. We had problems the first time and thought they may be having a bad night.

Great service, good range of menu options. Only comment would be the lighting was a little on the bright side and if more subdued, would have made the ambiance more relaxing and less stark.

Last Saturday evening we held an dinner for 13 people to celebrate my 70th birthday. it was a really wonderful evening and I cannot praise the staff enough. eating was all delicious, especially the sea roast and pavlowa and there was a good choice of vegetarian options. the service was efficient and friendly and there was no rush for us to leave at the end of the evening. the cost was also very reasonable. many thanks to lifton hall for such a fantastic and unforgettable birthday dinner

Visited lifton halle for Sunday dinner, friendly staff. I had frying, that was miraculous, good choice of drinks in the bar. excellent restaurant worth visiting.
