The Old Pottery Restaurant — Restaurant in Teignbridge

We chose to have lunch at The Old Pottery Restaurant based on a recommendation and the positive reviews posted for this restaurant; sadly however, we were very disappointed. We hadn't had crab for many years and so the locally caught Brixham crab sandwich lunch appealed. Unfortunately it fell way short of our expectations. For £16 I thought I'd get some crab meat in the sandwich, instead of which we had something more akin to crab paste, the like of which can be had cheaply from most supermarkets.

Will definitely be returning and...

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with my lunch here recently. It is very poor for vegans - only two options on the menu a main (a Dahl) or a baguette (hummus and chickpea). As I didn’t want a big £16 meal at lunch time this left just the baguette. It was large, but lacked any flavour and was very dry. I couldn’t really taste the hummus as it was quite sparse. The coleslaw on the side was nice. Sadly my coffee tasted awful and I struggled to drink it - I got a cup of tea with oat milk after which was fine. The cakes however were better - two vegan options (these weren’t marked, you have to ask) and the cakes were very large portions especially for the price. At least the lunch...
