Kingswear has three pubs, the Royal Dart, the Steampacket and the Ship Inn does excellent bar suppers.

Dartmouth has about a dozen pubs and an excellent selection of first class restaurants, the most famous of which are the New Angel, and the Cherub Inn (the oldest house in town and one of the best pubs too).

Other high class eateries are Jan and Freddie’s Brasserie, The Seahorse, Krhua Thai (upstairs window reputed to be the aftercastle of a wrecked Spanish galleon), The Spice Bazaar, Taylor’s and The Castle Hotel (both overlooking the Boat Harbour), Strutts, Kendricks, Anzac, RBs, Sails, the Little Admiral (tapas a speciality), Café Alf Resco, Cafe Cache, the River Restaurant at Dart Marina, the Station Restaurant (in the only station in the country which never had any trains!) and the Res Nova, an old Dutch barge in the centre of the river with its own water-taxi service;  plus a wide choice of other pubs and cafes in town, and a number of cosy country pubs out in the sticks such as Hunter's Lodge at Cornworthy or the Ferryman's Inn up-river at picturesque Dittisham.

But if you go to Dartmouth for an evening out, don't miss the last ferry back to Kingswear at 11 o'clock or you will turn into a pumpkin.
