| The locally brewed real ale was unfortunately undrinkably warm so investment in proper cooling for the beer lines and the hand pump is required. A pleasant looking pub with a brisk food trade, which we didn't try, but was mentioned when we ordered our drinks. kebabman - 10 Aug 2011 11:16 |
| Excellent friendly service. Had a very good meal, reasonably priced. Lovely old pub. What more could you ask for ? jsg - 29 Jul 2011 12:48 |
| Nice old building in a pictureque little Devon village.Although we were quite early for lunch we were warmly welcomed and I enjoyed a well kept pint of Otter Amber. We both had fish cakes which were mostly fish with very little filler.The only slight downside were the chips which were a touch soggy for my liking.The only member of staff on view was friendly and helpful. mangelwurzler - 7 Jul 2010 16:30 |
| When we moved to the area in the mid-1980s the Tuckers was one of THE local places to eat and drink, so on an important anniversary we visited the pub again. The experience was mixed. Firstly the good... Ancient building. Log fire in the lounge on colder nights. Excellent, well served pint of Otter Amber. Lovely unspoiled village setting, opposite the parish church, birds singing, lawnmowers mowing etc. Friendly, well informed and attentive waitress Nice bottle of Aussie Chiraz with meal for £13 Then the not so good... Porky starter with leathery, chewy crackling (at £7) Chicken and asparagus main with oversalted potato, overcooked chicken and strange wilted watercress. Lambs liver with gloopy weird 'gravy' Overall impression... Considering we had made the effort to go off the beaten track to try Dalwood again and spent nearly £60 we were really disappointed and will continue our search elsewhere for a reliable eat-out venue within 5 miles of Lyme Regis. I was offered a free drink when I complained about my starter, but big deal. I really do wonder whether there is any real point in raising problems with a restaurant at the time (given that you went out to celebrate a special occasion, not for an awkward conflict resolution situation). You are there to enjoy yourself, not to get a discount of a couple of quid. In my opinion there is too much harping about 'local sourcing' and freshness and not enough good cooking and simply tasting the dishes you are serving for not inexpensive prices. Recommend for a pint especially in the garden in the Summer, but avoid the restaurant. keystone - 11 May 2010 23:32 |
