Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the rear garden, where sunny days and hot evenings fill the tables, Astro turf keeps feet dry and a heated marquee covers poorer weather. Pizzas draw praise, with one reviewer calling them exceptional, and the BBQ is close behind, with one diner recommending the burger and another finishing on toasted marshmallows for pudding. The Brixham plaice and the fish and chips with sticky toffee pudding also earn mentions. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, dogs and children are welcomed, and one family describes a smooth birthday party. The complaints are specific. One diner reports an overcooked chicken schnitzel, yellowing broccoli, a steak and Youngs pie that was over half carrot, and raw cabbage, and left after declining a replacement meal, wanting something taken off the bill. Others note slow table orders after the first round, drinks prices creeping up, and a full car park, with one party using the church up the road.

“Amazing beer garden, atmosphere was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. The food was great, we ate from the BBQ and would recommend the burger. Venue is also pet and child friendly. Parking was full but we used the church up the road.”

“Went for a family event, staff were wonderful. Food was good. They have a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Atmosphere was great but not too hectic as there was another party too. They even had an outdoor BBQ which you can purchase from too. Is child and animal friendly.”
- Ruth McNamara-Cronin
“What a lovely pub. We had a relaxing evening sitting out in the garden. We ordered two pizza's which were exceptional and the Brixham plaice (also delicious). Great service too. Lovely staff. The atmosphere is amazing here you could stay all night.”

“Just had the worst pub meal at The Half Moon in many a year. I rdered chicken schnitzel with chips and purple sprouting broccoli .The chicken was so overcooked I couldn’t get my knife in it. The broccoli was yellowing and past it best. I tried some and had to spit it out. My husband ordered steak & Youngs pie. Over 50 percent was carrot making it too sweet to eat. Mash was okay but the cabbage was totally raw raw. No effort had been made to cook it in any way. Complained to waiter who offered another meal. We declined this offer as we didn’t want anymore terrible food. The manager took our plates away to discuss with chef. Waiter then offered a coffee or drink. Which we declined and left. If they had offered us something of the bill it might have been better but they are evidently not bothered about their customers”

“Our local pub, is always a great day out. We do feel the prices are creeping up slowly tipping the scale of value for money on the drinks. The food is good as usual and the atmosphere superb. Service could do with a bit of a lift at times, as you wait a while for someone to take your order once you’ve had your first round. Not always ideal to go to the bar when seated outside as wait times can be lengthy. Overall a fantastic pub. Glad the kids play area outside is finally gone and more specs made for tables. Pub garden gets busy when the sun is out. Warren has worked hard since his arrival and his enthusiasm and drive for improvement does not go unnoticed. We love it!!”
