The Retreat - Teignbridge

Not a massive menu but what they do do they do amazingly. We had hopped to have the carvery but unfortunately they stopped serving that at 4. And we arrived at 5. However what we had instead didn’t disappoint us in anyway.

Was a little unsure to begin with after reading the variety of reviews. One recently classed as a gastronomic delight, another said they served black chips?!? Both are probably too far to the end of the scale, but we had a very pleasant experience. We arrived at Finlake, unpacked and wondered down to the retreat for some food. We hadn’t booked but they found us a table (would suggest booking though as others who arrived later were not able to get a table). Our food came quickly, it was hot and tasty, and the service was great what more can you ask for? My wife and daughter had the pasta, good sized portion and very tasty, my son had battered cod and chips again, excellent, and he devoured it. I had the beetroot and shallot tart, even though I’m not vegetarian, and that was also very tasty. Cant really fault the place considering it’s in a retreat like this, next to a Sports bar. Drinks are defo overpriced, but that’s pretty standard in the UK now. Overall, very happy with what we had and would go there again if we needed to.

Had a food in the retreat the chips were black poor quality and there was a dog on the table.no very hygienic

Whilst staying at Lodge Nine Finlake we visited the Retreat Restaurant a few times. The food was tasty, hot with a nice variety, and the staff were super helpful. The place was also nice and clean
