Clovelly Bay Inn

Traditional pub visited on 9/11/25. Booked a table for two at 12, on arrival there was confusion that caused a small delay as we booked via Facebook and the staff weren't awareof the booking, however they did manage to seat us. One beef and one pork roast, good portion but nothing you couldn't do at home especially for £19 a portion. I've had much better roasts else where. Seriously. The venue was well booked up and has a good reputation with the older generation. The gents toilets has a bad smell. Parking can be a problem, however a short walk away is a free car park. I wouldn't visit again or recommend it. The establishment has a four out of five rating for hygiene.

I went there with my elderly mother and a friend for my birthday. I had been there previously so I knew that it was good. My mother had a kiddies lamb roast dinner which was more that enough. My friend had chicken with rice and I had chicken jalfreize. All meals were superb, cooked to perfection and came out piping hot. For dessert we had banoffee cheesecake with a quality vanilla ice cream, sticky toffee pudding with custard. Both delicious and well presented. There was only one step in the bar and a small step by the entrance so good for elderly diners. Limited parking outside with one disabled space, but free public car park along the road. Without hesitation I would recommend this eatery.

I don’t usually leave reviews but food was incredible. I really liked the general vibe of the pub and the landlord/owner was very sweet and didn’t have any issue while we ordered extra gravy, extra yorkshires and extra potato’s. The food portions are massive (we came down from London where the portions are about half the size of what we were given!!!) and it’s a really cosy, nice atmosphere. Would reccomend!!

What a hidden gem tucked away in what looks like a village from bygone days. The Inn is a warm welcoming place to taste and enjoy the exceptional food on offer, along with real ales and wines and of course the non alcoholic drinks for the those who are driving. Dogs are most welcome too. Staff are truly friendly. Food hot and tasty. Definitely a return visit in the new year.

Had the roast pork and my daughter had the roast turkey. Food was very good and came out quickly. Pub opened at 12pm and there was already a queue outside ready for it to open. Be warned you will probably need to book here as it seemed to be very popular. Tried to go in Friday at 5pm as a spare of the moment thing and was told they were already booked out for the evening. Friendly staff and very good atmosphere. Price is also very reasonable and a good menu selection.

A cosy pub/restaurant situated in the village of Turnchapel. Friendly welcoming staff. The food was delicious and very tasty. A little pricey, but for those who enjoy the finer things in life, worth every penny.

This is one od the best old world pubs I've visited. Absolutely amazing food, friendly atmosphere and great surroundings. You need to book in advance as they are always busy.

Small tucked away pub/restaurant. Don't be misled by the deminutive exterior it has a deceptively large interior. Strongly recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment. Really nice olde worlde village pud atmosphere. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled 1st class. Real homemade cut chips fresh side salads and generous portions. Good selection of on tap ciders beers and ales.

The chargrilled rump of lamb, was what I had and there was alot of rump with 7 yes I said 7 assorted vegetables,including crunchy roast potatoes, with minted gravy, it was amazing, the lamb just fell apart in my mouth and with the minted gravy aswell I just could not stop my mouth watering My husband had the hickory chicken with crunchy homemade chips, peas, with a side salad, with crunchy homemade coleslaw, and he absolutely loved his meal, well we both did, and we want to come again, definitely we'll worth the money, and we would highly recommend coming to this eatery. You won't be disappointed

Amazing friendly service here, laughing with us and offering to take our photo. The icing on the cake that is a good pub visit! Lovely looking pub inside and outside (as long as you like bright colours!) Three beers on. Summerskills Bitter and Skinners Hunny Bunny were good. I wasn't as keen on the Old Slug Porter, but I'm less fond in general of most darker beers. So happy to finally make it here after being thwarted on previous stays in the city!

This is one of our favourite pubs in Plymouth, really good beer including a tasty Cornish lager and good unpretentious and tasty food. It is not fine dining and doesn't pretend to be, the food is simple, tasty, well presented and there are generous portions. The service is very friendly and very good, I've rarely been made to feel more welcome. The chips are very good, the soups hearty and tasty, the sandwiches are American in their size and come with chips and salad and whenever we have eaten here we have enjoyed the food. We really like the seafood platter, make sure you go in hungry! Why not 5 stars? Well that would have to be outstanding but definitely 4 and half stars from me! Go there, see what you think.

This is a friendly local pub on the waterfront in the village of turnchapel with a traditional atmosphere. There is limited car parking but there is a free public car park near by. The prices are reasonable and the portions are very generous. The food is of good quality, well-cooked and well presented. Overall a good place for an enjoyable meal out.

I gave this pub originally a 3/5 star review on the google web site but was shocked to be then barred from this pub due to that review. In my mind this is petty even though i did not cause any trouble in the place except give them an average review. It has come to my attention that other local people have also had the same treatment through complaining about food or drinks and prices in the place. They do not like any one complaining about anything and do not look after or reason with people with problems. Their solution to issues are to ban who ever makes the complaint. In my mind this is petty and unprofessional. Dont waste your time if you want a good service from this place, use one of the other local pubs for a 5 star service.

A really lovely friendly pub in a perfect location right by the water. Not very easy to drive down the scary hill to the pub but there is plenty of parking at the top of the hill and it is really only a short walk! The food is always well cooked and certainly wont leave you hungry and the staff are always happy to see you. Plenty of choice on the menu and behind the bar. Usually specials to choose from and a family and dog friendly atmosphere. A great pub to visit at anytime, either for a huge sunday lunch, a few quiet drinks in the evening or for a busy saturday night.

This cosy pub really has loads going for it. The only drawback is parking but if we set that aside, this pub really is a treat for the unsuspecting visitor! The pub is clean, and the bar staff are very friendly. There is a fine selection of Real Ales, but the speciality is the excellent food! This menu really does need to be sampled. Great variety and enormous portions! Highly recommended!

We Had the carvey at the clovelly inn it was average at best. Large portions if u count too many potatoes.I was first at the bar trying to order a pint and was ignored as five reg customers came in and served first. A tall brunette working the bar never cracked a smile aAnd clearly didn't want to be there . for the same money and 100% better food Go to Mount Batten down the road . one star from me at least it was hot.
