The Steam Packet Inn Restaurant

About

Nestled on the banks of the picturesque River Dart, The Steam Packet Inn is a charming, family‑owned pub that embodies the warm hospitality of Devon. The spacious conservatory offers sweeping views of the river, while the cosy bar area and log‑fire fireplace create an inviting atmosphere for both early‑morning coffee and late‑night drinks. Guests can choose from an extensive range of real ales—Dartmoor Jail Ale, Salcombe Gold, Exeter Ferryman, and Sharp’s Doom Bar—alongside a carefully curated wine list and premium spirits. Food to match the setting is equally enticing. All dishes are prepared fresh on site, with a fully gluten‑free menu that caters to a variety of dietary needs. Whether it’s a quick snack, a four‑course lunch, or a leisurely dinner, the menu’s modern twists on classic British pub fare are sure to delight locals and visitors alike. The pub regularly introduces special river‑front menus such as the Set Sunday Lunch, priced at £25 for two courses or £28 for three. The Steam Packet Inn’s welcoming policy extends to your four‑legged friends—dogs are allowed in the bar and terrace but not in accommodation rooms, which are limited to six newly refurbished en‑suite bedrooms suitable for solo travellers, couples or small families. Together, the venue’s food, drink, views and friendly service make it an ideal spot for a relaxed outing on the Dart. From afternoon tea to sunset cocktails, the pub’s open hours run from 10 am to midnight (10 pm on weekdays, 11 pm on Saturdays), providing ample flexibility for a day out or a cozy evening by the water.
