Gastrobus x Bosko Bus — Restaurant in South Hams

What a shambles. It wasn’t a particularly busy day and although I got my drink and a pre packed sandwich for my wife, I unfortunately went for the Classic Burger. 23 minutes later the guy shouted that my burger was ready. 23 minutes for a burger from a burger van!!! I sat down and bit into what looked like a nice thick burger but to my horror the meat was red and not cooked. As anyone should know, steaks can be rare or well done but processed meats like a burger must be cooked through and never red or you’re very likely get food poisoning.

My wife said to take it back but having waited 23 minutes for an undercooked burger I saw red, got up and threw the whole thing in the right hand General Waste bin - if the owners want to have a look.

Unfortunately the Gastrobus wasn’t the foodie heaven I had hope for, many of the options weren’t available as they were ‘changing the menu’, so we ordered 4 hotdogs and 4 soft drinks - more than £30. 20 minutes after ordering we still didn’t have our food as they had some trouble with their gas supply which took a while to rectify. We were offered a free soft drink for the inconvenience which was a nice token. Sausages were little more than long grilled chipolatas in a big brioche bun, loaded with sauce. First and last visit for...

Many years ago (40 to be honest) the only place to get a drink, ice cream or snack was at the local shop or the Sloop Inn. Both a walk far enough to be annoying when relaxing on the beach. So a recent visit to Bantham (the first in 40 years) was a pleasant surprise. The beach hasn't changed at all ( I think I actually recognized a couple of grains of sand from my previous visit) but having the Gastrobus on hand made for a great addition. The prices are comparable to most event/tourist location food and drinks but the quality is good and the portions are perfect. Great coffee, nice cakes (the Chelsea bun was only just smaller than Chelsea borough!) and tasty...
