The Mussel Inn in South Hams

Food was great. drink service was slow. Table 3 we sat at was in a walk way so not much room and people had to squeeze past the chair all the time.

Went here for date night after the husband was recommended by friends. I checked out the menu before and thought it was too posh for me 🤣 but the husband wanted to go so we booked a table.When we arrived there for our table at 7pm the carpark was full!....shows that it is enjoyed by many throughout the day but someone was just leaving! Perfect! I didn't need to find a space somewhere else in the dark!Lots of friendly faces from the staff when we arrived and there was lots of chatter from the customers seated at their tables.Considering the number of people it was clean and tidy and well looked after.We were seated and ordered our drinks. I liked how they were mainly local suppliers and businesses helping to support eachother!We ordered our food and my lack of posh names for normal dishes showed 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ but everything I ordered was delicious! My husband even said the hummus from his starter was "the best he had ever had!"All of the staff were amazing tending to customers, turning tables over for the next and keeping everything clean and tidy, like a well oiled machine!Will definitely return but not one for our toddler just yet...this can remain a nice place for mummy and daddy first!

Best place we have stayed in a while! So clean and welcoming, got absolutely everything needed. The pub is full of extremely friendly and happy staff, food was 10/10! Highly recommend. Will definitely be returning :)

I was taken here by friends who know I can be a bit picky. I like great food and service, both of which the Mussel provided. The arancini was perfectly crispy, yum, while the pork belly was perfection. Three out of four of us had the pork which left the fourth member to do all the talking while we devoured the excellent meal. If you are thinking of going here, go. If you have half as good a meal as I had, it will still be worth the trip.

Stayed in one of the cottages and it was brilliant. We popped into the pub very late on Sunday and was so accomdating to us and delivered a roast to our cottage which was amazing! Will definitely be coming back!

We really enjoyed our visit to The Mussel Inn. Excellent and attentive service from friendly staff. Good range of menu choice and the food was superb! We will definitely be back again!

This is the local to my mums place. Been going here for years. Has changed over time, but only for the better. To be honest I should rate this place 5⭐ just for serving Sea Fury ale but this particular positive review comes from whipping us up a board of nibbles late on New Years Day, without booking and when the kitchen was closed.

Have always loved this country pub, which has now been transformed by the current owners into the best in the area. Not a huge selection of ciders but a few proper ales, and a fantastic menu. Good decor and log burning stoves on the inside, and a great outdoor area with a new, safe play-park for the children.Recommended rain or shine.

Monkfish red Thai curry was super tasty. Could have multiple times happily. Great place for a family meal with the dog.

Just returned from a week here! The Cottages are brilliant. Perfectly furnished to an outstanding quality. We stayed in the Cockle with our little doggie. He settled in straightaway. Secure garden for him to use and a stair gate to keep him securely down stairs even at night.If you would like a holiday in an accommodation furnished to the high standard you enjoy at home this is the place for you. Great facilities, oven, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher and Large TVs in every room, rain showers, fluffy white towels.Recently we have stayed in accommodation that have pulled back in the nice welcomes such as a welcome pack of basic foods and toiletries but not here!! Nicely packaged toiletries waiting in the bathroom and Prosseco, tea, milk and cookies etc in the kitchen !We ate every night we could at Mussel Inn as why eat anywhere else the food was fab!! Catering for all tastes in our part!! Even if they were fully booked (which being so popular they often were) they managed to fit us in.We had some lovely local walks particularly taking in the Wembury Ponies which was a welcome surprise.Great farm shop to visit nearby at Ben’s Farm shop and if you want a bit of retail therapy pop into Plymouth for some big shopping centres. We went further afield to Brixham lovely seaside town about an hrs drive away and you can even pop over the border to Cornwall 45 mins to NT Cothele worth a visit too.
