The Plains
Totnes
Devon
TQ9 5DD
This Hotel does a great trade in food and drinks as well as overnight accommodation. It is probably the premier hotel inTotnes and certainly one of the ones with the oldest hstory, situated as it is on the mouth of the river Dart. It has a posh restaurant called TQ9 and a couple of bars which do bar snacks. One does fairly standard bar snacks and the other more fancy continental ones such as the platter variety which have olives, houmous etc.The hotel also has an outside area which is pleasant enough but for the fact that the hotel is situated on a roundabout at the bottom of town (known as the plains) and is rather noisy. It's not exactly a tranquil place to sit and relax, though it's great for people wathcing, and believe me, Totnes has some worth watching! The food and the coffee are great and it is open throughout the day which is rare in Totnes.

This hotel is probably the nicest in Totnes. It obviously does accommodation, but has a roaring trade as a bar and foodie place. It is right at the bottom of Totnes near a roundabout so although you can sit outside in the summer, you have to be prepared to breathe in some traffic fumes! However, people watching is probably the most fun in Totnes than anywhere! This place has a posh restaurant with really special food served there (at special prices too!!) plus a couple of bars where you can get decent bar snacks and lunches etc. Being a hotel it is open all day unlike the pubs, so it can be a nice option if you don't fancy a coffee shop.

Not a bad place for a drink, there is a decent sized outdoor area which is great for people watching but it is also by the roundabout at the bottom of the High Street so there are a few cars around too.This has two bars, a more traditional one and a trendier Bar Seven, which is leather chairs and sofa's etc. I have never eaten in either of the two bars so I am not able to comment on them.I have however eaten in the new restaurant and to honest wasn't particularly impressed. The restaurant looks over towards to the bus station and the food wasn't up to the prices being charged I felt.
