Bushell's Riverside

We visited Dartmouth on 21st October after a walk around this beautiful seaside town we had Lunch at Busells , So glad we did, friendly staff and great service and the food was fresh and good quality . We had four children with us and they were patient and considerate of their needs , catering exceptionally well for my gluten free Grandson. We will be definitely returning .

We had an excellent meal at Bushell's Riverside in Dartmouth, we had a warm welcome from the friendly team on arrival and felt very comfortable. Bushell's Riverside has a great atmosphere and the food and service is excellent. The Gluten free options are very good, in fact most things on the menu can be adapted for those like us who are gluten intolerant. We can thoroughly recommend Bushell's Riverside Trevor Wing

We chose this restaurant because of the location and reviews. The location is terrific but sadly the service didn’t match. We pre-booked, it was a quiet night yet we felt like an inconvenience. The only friendly conversation was when the bill was presented. The main courses were good, the dessert was disappointing. Perhaps this was an ‘off night’ and didn’t reflect the welcome or service that is mentioned in other reviews. Ver carta

Decided to brave the chilly evening snd eat outside which we have done before. Think we should be on commission as soon after we sat down we were the first!! several other couples decided to brave it! Blankets were available for softy’s!! Food was excellent, young waitress charming and hope she gets her maths grade!! Owner was very chatty and made us feel very welcome. Great to have these family run businesses and offering us a change from the chain restaurants. Please support them snd we will be back in a few weeks time

We visited 4 quality restaurants in Dartmouth this week and in some ways this was best. The ambience and setting was both intimate and spacious. The service was very attentive and friendly. As someone with gluten intolerance I was delighted that they had so many options, you never felt that they had compromised a dish to make it gluten free. Every course was well cooked and seasoned. Our turbot was lovely with delicious potato and leeks and good value at £22. We shared a sticky toffee pudding and chocolate ganache, both were great. Reasonable value wines available with a useful 250ml glass. Most enjoyable evening.

We were a party of 10 celebrating a 90th birthday. I booked on line and asked for a quiet area to satisfy our elderly relatives. The owner telephoned to get more details to make sure we were fully accommodated. The food was amazing, beautifully cooked, seasonal veg and plenty. Our 90 year old Uncle said it was the best garlic prawns he's ever had (and he's well travelled). This venue was perfect for our family celebration, not overwhelming for our two 90 year olds and informal enough for the two children in our party. We will definitely be revisiting this hidden gem on our return visits as we come to Dartmouth often. Ver carta

Stunning views atmospheric dining in beautiful surroundings Very romantic cosy relaxed setting . The food is absolutely amazing as is the personable service There are six tables inside with superb views of the river .additional outside seating on the quayside terrace. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch so we returned a few days later for dinner and shall certainly go again . The couple who run it along with the staff work very hard to ensure you have a most enjoyable experience ,fabulous delicious fresh food cooked to perfection served in an unobtrusive manner . A delight ! . A wonderful asset to Dartmouth Lesley Richard East Sussex

Visited this restaurant during a brief day trip to Dartmouth. It was a gorgeous sunny day and they had some welcoming seating outside. Not too busy either. The menu was reasonable and kept the seafood lovers happy. I opted for the plain old Fish Chips. There was nothing plain about it. With Homemade mushy peas and washed down with a local lager. It was honestly superb. Lovely and crispy and a good portion size. It was next level, far from your average offerings found elsewhere. Other family members had Squid, Plaice, some pate and sweet potato fries. The smile on their faces said it all. If your in town then please try this place out.

A big disappointment. Having read a number of reviews on TA we thought this restaurant would be a safe bet. We booked in advance, arrived on time, noting that only one other table was occupied. Several tables unoccupied. We were given the worst table they had, towards the back of restaurant. So not a particularly good view , unless you don't mind looking in a mirror! So not a good start. We found the menu quite limited, which wouldn't have been a problem if the food was good. Unfortunately, it wasn't. My partner had a sea food pizza, which wasn't very fresh, and lacking in sea food. I fancied fish and chips, expecting cod or haddock, but was told the fish was pollock. I decided on a burger w... Ver carta
