Hold-ups
16 Apr 2014

Well said Roberta. The only slight hold up today in Dawlish was of course for the works on Exeter Road. It always amazes me why people have so little patience - when they move to Devon they should realise that life is a little slower - and is all the better for it.

Well said Leatash.

Chippy Chaps is the best around here bar none. Never had to wait long there myself - but I don't mind having to do so at any chip shop, as it means the chips and/or fish is fresh.

I agree with Mcjrpc.  End of.

Jack Sprats is rated by reviewers (i.e. customers) as being the best eating establishment in Dawlish!  The original poster asked a question, I provided an answer. I'm pretty sure that Carer wouldn't be so vile to Helga's face - Helga being the owner of Jack Sprats, and who has worked damned hard to get it to where it is today.  Not to mention all the work that she does for charity through her ...

I would prefer the current 'bandstand' to be replaced by an actual bandstand rather than a statue that would serve no practical purpose.  A traditional raised circular bandstand would be brilliant. Exmouth's is extremely well-used/attended during their musical season, likewise the newish one at Goodrington. Together with a play park like that at Teignmouth or Paignton, then we could really make ...

My mistake sorry!  Of course it's the Anchor that I was thinking about - and I've not even been to this weekends beer festival there! The Ship at Cockwood isn't bad either lol! Other recommendations?  Plenty in Exeter and Totnes. Nothing worth bothering with in Newton Abbot apart from a couple of curry houses. Exmouth has The Point and The Waterfront.  Shaldon's Clipper Cafe is well worth a ...

Good point about the Ship (owned by the same people as the Mount Pleasant), as it's a lovely place serving great seafood. It sounds like your last visit to the Mount Pleasant was before it was refurbed. I'd recommend a revisit. As we're widening the catchment area from the Warren that the original poster was asking about, I'd therefore thoroughly recommend Jack Sprats. It's number one on ...

A statue of Maggie Thatcher?? Bold to emphasise a heading is good netiquette. Otherwise it is regarded as shouting. I don't make the netiquette rules.

Andysport, do you mind me asking why you don't like the food at the Mount. I've never had a bad meal there, and the food isn't all microwaved like it is at some places round here.
