Pub, bar and restaurant recommendationsForum users' comments on the best places to eat and drink ashore, anywhere in the whole wide world (but preferably close to water)
Ten months later I still feel motivated to say a good word about this establishment since this is where I had my best meal of a 3 week west country cruise during summer 2008.
Tis an informal 2 story eating establishment that was fully booked mid week when the private school family types had flocked to Salcombe but the State schools had not yet started their summer break.
Foodwise I'd say it was modern Euro pub cuisine and under priced considering the quality. Service was friendly though a bit erratic. It would be fair to mention the restaurant was running at 100% table occupancy and they had squeezed us in at short notice.
Directions: From the main landing pontoon in Salcombe, when you meet the shore high street, turn right then after about 40m (from memory) turn left into a courtyard type alleyway where you will find Boatswain's on the right.

Foodie warning: I am not one, so don't pin high hopes on my remarks if you have a particularly discerning palette or fat wallet.
My favourite place in Salcombe. If you need changes to the menu, Chris will do her best unless they are heaving. Do not accept the table near the dumb waiter on the ground floor unless you are happy for a constant flow of staff carrying dirty plates which are stacked in view.
Kings Arms is also pretty good.
We had the best fish and chips for a long time in Salcombe a few weeks back on a rainy friday night, cant remember the name of the place but its on the corner at the start of the high street just up from the fishmongers.
