We’re often asked where you can get a great Sunday lunch in the Torquay area.
There’s nothing better than a roast joint, lots of vegetables, perfect roast potatoes, lashings of gravy and maybe stuffing or Yorkshire pudding too. There’s lots of choice in Torquay and the surrounding areas. We’ve listed a few to get you started. Best enjoyed after a nice walk to work up an appetite. And as you’re on holiday, you can come back late afternoon and have an afternoon nap!
The English Riviera has a wealth of eating places covering every type of cuisine and roast dinners are no exception.
Pier Point, Torquay
Available between October and March, this popular restaurant is only around a 15 minute walk from The 25 and with sea views is always a winner. If it’s a nice day you can sit outside too. It’s advisable to book as they’re always busy. http://www.pier-point.co.uk/our-menu/main-menu/
The Drum Inn, Cockington
The rural charm and rustic character of The Drum Inn in the heart of picture postcard Cockington Village, is the perfect place to enjoy Sunday lunch. Roast dinner options include roast sirloin of beef, pork belly roast, slow-cooked lamb shank and roast breast of turkey, all with Yorkshire puddings, ruffled roast potatoes and seasonal veg. A lovely walk from The 25 (around a mile). https://www.vintageinn.co.uk/restaurants/south-west/thedruminncockington
