Sunday lunch at the Devonshire Dumpling

WHEN planning a family meal out, it can be difficult to find somewhere that suits all the family.

At the Devonshire Dumpling, Morchard Road, the menu reflects this and offers a wide range of choices.

Sunday lunch is always a special time with local topside of beef for the traditionalist, whilst the youngsters can enjoy either the American Diner Menu or one of the many other choices available, including daily fish specials.

Whichever options you choose you can be assured that owners Gordon and Janet Robinson and all the staff at the Dumpling will do everything they can to ensure your meal is a memorable event.

Table bookings are not always required and you can eat inside or outside, if the weather allows.

Food is served from 12noon until 2pm and from 5.30pm daily.

No visit to the Dumpling is complete without sampling the steak and kidney cooked in ale with a herby dumpling crust - It’s a hungry man’s meal, so don’t have a starter!

A hearty Sunday roast awaits at the Rose & Crown

OWNERS Jill and Andy and their staff have been welcoming customers to the Rose & Crown, Sandford for seven years and have built up a regular and local trade.

The main menu caters for all tastes in the form of well cooked, good quality “pub grub” - ranging from beer battered fish and chips to juicy burgers and succulent steaks.

The changing “specials board” offers great meat, fish and vegetarian options and the kids are catered for, too.

A fixed price senior citizen menu is available at lunchtimes and is popular with local groups as well as individuals.

The pub’s renowned hearty Sunday Roast is a must, with a choice of two meats and served with chef’s “special gravy.”

Vegetarian and kids meals are available along with a reduced main menu – but still offering plenty of choice.

Booking for Sundays is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

To the rear of the pub is ample parking and a large beer garden - perfect for summertime!

Mothers Day bookings now being taken.
