The Drum Inn - Torquay

We visited this restaurant for lunch on New Year's Eve and found it to be very busy with families and dogs. It was nice to see a place that welcomed them, but it did get a bit chaotic. Fortunately, we had booked a table in the restaurant area, but navigating to the toilets was a bit challenging. However, don't let this deter you from visiting. The restaurant is in a beautiful location with scenic views. The staff were wonderful and the food was delicious.

Very friendly pub, where even the dogs were made welcome!

The Drum is a must-visit for anyone in Cockington. Whether you choose to dine inside or outside, you'll enjoy the peaceful and picturesque surroundings.

The Inn is attractive from the outside with adequate seating and space for children to play, and the bar area is comfortable although can be crowded. The dining area though was bare and ‘cheap’, like a bad motorway station. I will not take guests there again.

The food and service was good but 4 of us did first have to send back our Sunday roasts to warm up as they arrived a little on the cold side. It seemed a case of hard working, polite staff being run off their feet. Hot plates would help.
