Amazing place! Officially the best and my personal favorite…read morepub in all of England. Circa 1540! Ceilings so low even I had to duck a couple times around the many old wood beams and brick arches all over the place. Very small but intimate, warm place with lots of little nooks and cool little places to cuddle up with your special one and a few great pints. Live music was excellent, and it definitely filled the place, making it actually a bit too hot for my comfort, but that's how the English do it. Seating outdoors as well for the smokers. Small bar food menu, but also an upper restaurant part as well with full menu of your usual British food. So glad we stumbled upon this place, somewhat hidden from the main road, and will always be a place we visit when in town.

The 2nd time we went was in a group for a birthday and was very well looked after. The table was decorated with all pirate hats etc. You can see the kitchen from your table, so can see them cooking your food. The staff were very pleasant and catered for all our needs. There was a small disco area underneath the restaurant which had good music and a bar. Would definately go back again.

This restaurant clearly earned its Michelin Star, both for food and presentation. I started with…read morecrab crumpet, fresh local crab on a crumpet with two other unique elements. My daughter started with beetroot samosas and they were gorgeous. For my main, went with the duck and it was also exquisite. Sliced thinly with a great jus and again several other elements on the plate I could not identify but added many great layers to the taste. We also shared green beans and zucchini (courgettes) and they were great. Fresh from the chef's garden and tasted that way. I normally pass on dessert but had to try it. I had strawberries with pistachio sponge, while I would have like more pistachio flavor it was also quite enjoyable. Service was efficient and I liked the pace of the meal. Pretty quick between courses (what I'm used to as an American), with the nice touch of asking whether we wanted the next course yet. They do not put on airs like many starred establishments, a family in shorts was welcomed, and the food is as good as you can get.

We ordered a fixed price three course meal. The fish was so fresh and superbly prepared. Many local diners head for the 7 Restaurant a few doors down. We had no reservations and the 7 was full so we tried The Elephant. The ambiance was delightfully quiet, dignified and somewhat reserved. The dress should reflect that type of venue. We were definitely under dressed but were welcomed anyhow. We recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

The 'all you can eat' salad bar left a lot to be desired and I was hard-pressed to find more than a couple of items worth even trying. The salad itself was scarce and browning so I gave it a miss. The meal was okay... we opted for no sides so we were simply presented with a plate with a few ribs on it. The sundaes that came for desert were fantastic and were a nice finish to the meal. The service wasn't all that great. Our waitress just didn't seem to be all that interested in her job and couldn't even bother to make eye contact with us. It was obvious she didn't care. With all the other options in Torquay, I'd spend the extra dosh and go somewhere else.
