Taylor's - West Devon

The staff at this restaurant were very friendly and the atmosphere was good, but it was extremely busy. Unfortunately, despite pre-ordering a Christmas meal, it took about 45 minutes for our starter to arrive and we ended up leaving without dessert due to time constraints with parking. Another couple experienced the same issue. Tables who walked in after us received their meals before us, so I would not pre-book again in the future. Additionally, one of the main meals had raw potatoes in several places. We mentioned this at the time and received replacements, but one was still raw. We had to leave it unfinished as we were running out of time. It is unclear why some of the potatoes were undercooked, but we mentioned it again at the till to prevent it from happening in the future.

My wife and I went to Taylors for lunch during a Christmas shopping trip to Tavistock. We were seated upstairs which was nice and quiet. Upstairs had its own waitress and the service provided was excellent. The food was also outstanding and the chips some of the best I've ever tasted. We will definitely be returning on future trips to Tavistock.

This review is based on a single visit for a weekday brunch. My wife walks with the aid of a “walker”, the bistro has double doors but one was bolted, a waitress noticed immediately we needed the second door to be opened (or fold the walker) she was there like a shot and a ready smile. We ordered our food and drinks, the drinks arrived promptly. We both thought the vegan breakfast looked interesting, we were not wrong, an interesting mix of favours and textures. Incidentally we are not vegans. Our waitress was helpful and cheerful throughout. We saw the food going to other tables, it all looked tempting. Would we go again, definitely but we are only here for a short break.

Lovely restaurant in the middle of Tavistock, Catered well as we had a wheelchair in our party. Food was lovely and the service great

Took forever to get a cup of coffee. Never offered a second cup. Service was horrible and there were only 2 couples in the restaurant. Our waitress stayed in the kitchen chatting while never checking in on us the entire time. Food was marginal. Would never go back. Uncomfortable chairs. Couldn't wait to get out of there! Don't trust the other reviews. Probably owner and staff wrote them based on my experience.
