Welcome Inn Dawlish - Teignbridge

We came for Sunday carvery when we visited Dawlish. The food was good, although the beef was a bit chewy. The Yorkshire puddings were huge. Service was quick and friendly and the Covid-19 set up was good. We would return if we came back to the area.

The food at this restaurant is excellent with a wide variety of options on the menu. The tables are spaced out for social distancing and there is table service. The staff is very friendly and overall, it is definitely worth a visit. It feels safe to dine here.

We were unsure what to expect due to Covid however the facilities were fantastic especially as my dad is in a wheelchair. It was easily accessible and plenty of room inside. Plenty of sanitising. We had scampi, lamb shank and steak and ale pie and found the food lovely and reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and helpful.

The staff were doing their jbest they could, but place and food was SO mundane. It was on a par with corner shop cheap takeaways. When we arrived the overflowing drains from the kitchen should have been an effective portent of the sad excuse for an evening out. It was probably the side effect and over reaction from the management in respect to the Covid pandemic. But basically the place was understaffed and unkempt resulting in a service that created an environment that was depressing.

What a disappointing place to eat.The starters were the garlic mushrooms ,soup and the prawns which we all enjoyed but all 4 main courses were so basic for the price they charged was a definite rip off.The bottle of Sauvignon Blanc was the cheapest they could buy and they charged £17.50 a bottle yet another rip off .The waitress needed intense training in service it was so bad ,just one example whilst eating our main meal she came and asked did we want the bill.I could go on with a long list but I think I will sum it up by saying don’t go there.
