Dartmouth is, it’s fair to say, a bit of a foodie haven. Ever since the arrival of Joyce Molyneux and the Carved Angel in the 1970s, Dartmouth has offered something a bit different for food lovers.
Now there is a plethora of good places to eat, suiting every taste and every pocket. The town’s Annual Food Festival in October has gained an enviable reputation over the last decade for being the ‘best small food festival in the country’ and the town’s eateries have taken this prestigious event and let it inspire them to even greater heights.
Some of the highlights are worth checking out below.
