Smith’s Brasserie at Bovey Castle

Absolutely brilliant

Service was poor with long waits in-between courses and drinks orders. Food was good but nothing special. My husband got the wrong meal, I gave my meal back so I could eat with him and the children ate separately ... My meal has been kept hot as was evident by the meat on its return. The kids menu was poor , burgers/ fish & chips etc, I expect this from a pub menu not a Brasserie ... Was quite loud with the bar area being so open.. Disliked the tv in the eating area, more sports bar than Brasserie, really distracting for the children... We were eating and people were walking over to watch the tv...A little disappointing as this was a Father s day treat...

Delightful setting. Very relaxed atmosphere. Food very good, I had, probably the best beef burger I have ever eaten.

Beautiful setting, and a great set up with stunning views and, best of all, a circular couch with a wood burner in the centre. I had the 8oz Dartmoor Sirloin steak and I have to say it was one of the best I've ever had - melty and perfectly cooked. Had a great night and would happily recommend it to others!

Excellent food, friendly staff, nothing was too difficult and all with a smile. Very flexible and accommodating.

Great service but below average food. You would expect better from a 5 star hotel!

Food quality is not great and definitely not at level of the hotel.

Fantastic environment, lovely building, warm and welcoming Brasserie with friendly staff. Good food well presented.

Fantastic food and great service can't recommend enough

First class from entering to departure. Additional highlights:- Silvia our waitress gets a big tick from us, plus the very nice man who parked our car and finally the other staff dressed up in lovely country clothing were so helpful in trying to identify the river and it's tributaries. We will be back, Reg & Sharon Lawton
