Sunday lunch will always be busy but apart from a long wait for food to arrive (not unexpected) everything went smoothly. Staff were polite, efficient and unobtrusive, and the food excellent.

Excellent independent pub/restaurant. Superb Sunday roast. One of the few independent village pubs left in the area. Not been ruined by a St Austell Brewery takeover!

We have visited the Puffing Billy on previous occasions, I was expecting a high level of service and good food. Sadly this was not the case. The drinks arrived promptly. Then we waited 45 mins for the food to arrive, it was warm at best. The plates and dishes of vegetables were cold and not heated which continued to chill the food. Nobody enquired how the food was, in fact; nobody came to the table again even to ask for more drinks. We waited for 40 mins for the table to be cleared, so after another 10 mins I stacked the plates and dishes. So there was no misunderstanding that we were finished and ready for a dessert. Nobody took any notice, even though there were quite a large number of staff around. They were congregating around the bar area talking and laughing amongst themselves, totally oblivious. I got up and paid the bill, there wasn't any conversation except "Tap your card there". It was really sad that the level of service was so bad, the place wasn't busy. It was my mum's 89th birthday, and was supposed to be special. It turn out to be anything but. We went somewhere else to have our dessert.

Came here for an anniversary dinner on Father’s Day, so we opted for the Father’s Day mixed roast at £24.50 Service was quite slow, from taking our drinks orders, but the food came out fairly quick. When the plates put down, the portions was pretty small. I asked the waitress if this was the large size and she said no that’s the small but you could order the larger one… well we thought we had. We also asked for no potato’s on one but extra veg instead - there wasn’t any extra veg. The lady did kindly bring out some extra meat and we did appreciate that. The food its self was really good and it’s such a nice atmosphere in the pub. Live music outside which was amazing and perfect for the time of year! We come here regularly and the foods always good - we were just disappointed with the portions compared to normal as we haven’t eaten all day. But was delicious nonetheless !

All the meals apart from one were lovely. Unfortunately the Gnocci was awful. Burnt onions throughout made the whole thing taste of burnt fried onion and the dish was very bland. Steak was amazing as was the catch of the day and the gammon. Lovely atmosphere. Little bit overpriced if compared with similar pubs/restaurants. £9.50 a lot for a dessert.

We enjoyed the whole experience dining at the Puffing Billy But we did find the starters were a bit overpriced and £7 for two small scoops of ice cream was well overpriced.

This used to be a nice busy modern restaurant but is sadly now no more than a tatty pub. Cracked glass in the windows, dangerously loose slabs on steps to garden, generally very shabby decor wise. Hence, even on a Saturday night, there weren’t many tables full so no atmosphere sadly. The food was acceptable and the staff were clearly doing their best but the place needs a total revamp. Toilets were in a very poor state too. Locks not working, overflowing bins, broken loo roll holders etc. shame, won’t be returning if it stays like this 😕

Food is always amazing here but either our recent visit we didn’t have the best service. Waiting long periods of time for drinks, cutlery and to remove our plates. This took a while to then get the bill and the card machine, we ended up walking up to the bar to pay.

Always enjoy our visits to the Billy. Easy walk from Topsham along the river. Good food and pleasant surroundings. Dog friendly and a great place to exercise and swim for the hound locally.

The food was of excellent quality and very tasty. Sticky toffee pudding was to die for! I only have one minor criticism. My wife saw the size of the fish on a plate going through, and went for the smaller portion - it was very tasty but certainly less than half the size of the standard meal. Service was prompt and courteous - so good we booked a return visit.
