The Buccaneer Inn - Torbay

We had another fantastic meal at this pub last night, with a great selection of wines and real ales. We started with delicious tapas followed by pie, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and a flavorful mixed bean chili. The pub is dog-friendly and the staff is very friendly. We live nearby but decided to book a room for the night for a change of scenery. The room was spacious and clean, with a fantastic enclosed balcony overlooking Lyme Bay. We enjoyed the views from two comfortable high chairs on the balcony. Check out our separate TripAdvisor review for more on the accommodation.

I came in here last week with my wife. I hadn't been here in years and fancied a pint, so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. We were even happier when we found out they sold our favorite lager, Korev. The staff was friendly as well. What more could you ask for? We will definitely be visiting again soon.

My girlfriend and I ordered our food just 20 minutes before the restaurant was closing. A displeased female bartender informed us that we would have to have our starter with our main course, as the kitchen was closing soon. Despite her lack of enthusiasm, we received our combined starter of salt and pepper chicken wings, which were delicious. Our mains of pie, chips, and peas were also tasty, but it was a strange combination to eat together. The food was great, but the service was cold and unfriendly. This may be why the pub was so empty on a Saturday evening compared to other pubs we visited that night.

Went to The Buccaneer for Christmas Day lunch, wasn’t sure what to expect as always had Christmas dinner at home. We had a lovely afternoon with family and friends. The atmosphere was really welcoming , all the staff were friendly, nothing was too much trouble. When the 3 course meal was served it was delicious. Plenty of meat, veg , gravy and all piping hot. Definitely recommend.

A wonderful location and unpretentious pub to bring friends and guests from Pompey, the USA to Aotearoa New Zealand. Take in beautiful Babbacombe Downs from the bar or terrace. Great pub grub, wines and ales delivered by the friendly crew. Doggy friendly.
