If you’re planning a day out in Dartmoor National Park or maybe visiting National Trust’s Lydford Gorge, we’d highly recommend The Dartmoor Inn, for lunch or dinner – it’s a wonderful restaurant, ideal for foodies, open Wednesday to Sunday, great menu one of our personal favourites. Booking essential.
Seaton Beach is dog friendly all year round, it’s a 40 minutes drive from The Old Station and we love nothing better than putting the dogs in the car and heading to the beach for a dog walk before visiting this wonderful restaurant, It’s one of our local favourites, we recommend ordering a drink, sitting back and enjoying the view… and then savouring the fabulous food. Breakfast and Sunday lunch is superb here too.

Highly recommended for a distillery tour
The Black Friar’s building dates back to the early 1400s. The most intact part of the distillery is the refectory room, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof built in 1431. It’s one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth, and protected as a precious national monument. Not least because it’s now also an important centre of excellence for gin cocktail making
We also recommend a visit to the atmospheric Refectory Bar for a cocktail
and lunch or dinner in the Barbican Kitchen at Plymouth Gin | www.barbicankitchen.com
A small theatre on two levels with the benefit of a great Thai restaurant housed within so you can enjoy a sensibly priced decent Thai meal and show all in one location.
The upper and lower areas of the theatre hold a broad range of events everything from music, poetry, comedy, theatre and quiz nights. It’s a local hidden gem
If you’re visiting the Rame Peninsula we highly recommend this lovely pub as a stop off for a drink and a snack or lunch/dinner. It has a great menu and the food is top notch
