Great service and a really friendly atmosphere with regular entertainment. Not perhaps a family venue in the evening

I haven't visited this pub for a number of years, but what a transformation, now situated a few doors up from its old site, the pub has carried it's great atmosphere with it. The staff were friendly and chatty and the drinks were served quickly and well chilled.

Went to the Meadfoot Inn Torquay at 1p.m for Sunday lunch. Brilliant. The bar staff are very friendly and the place is spotless & very well furnished and comfortable. I had the Turkey roast Sunday dinner and my friends had the Beef. All agreed that this was a great meal, none of this 'two peas and a carrot' lark. We... More

A return visit to the Meadfoot Inn, sorry to say it wasn't good. Arrived and the place was cold and empty apart from a barman who took the order, we ordered food recommended by him which was scampi (apparently according to him the only thing he could cook), the barman disappeared for a moment or two and then returned to...

Good atmosphere and decent value food. Although it's a gay pub it's no dearer than nearby alternatives and a lot more comfortable as well as cleaner.

We've been to The Meadfoot several times now, both for drinks and to eat, and have always found it enjoyable. This gay-run pub is welcoming to everyone, and the resident drag act is very entertaining! Our most recent visit was for Sunday lunch - and it was very enjoyable. Between us we had beef and turkey, each of which was... More

After many days of site seeing and days out we though we better give this a try as our accommodation recommended it. It was our last night in Torquay and I only wished we went in earlier there are always fun and games going on in the bar and the people from the locals to the visitors and friendly and... More

We went in for a drink whilst visiting family in Torquay. This place is very friendly and welcoming. The mix of locals and tourists is good and they have plenty going on to entertain the customers. I'ts nice to find a pub that is 'real' and not part of some chain. The landlord and staff were really chatty. We will... More
