Camelot Medieval Restaurant in Torquay

Camelot Medieval Restaurant in Torquay
4 Braddons Hill Road West, Torquay, Devon, TQ1 1BG

IN DAYS OF OLDE WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD AND PIZZA WEREN'T INVENTED FOLK WENT DOWN TO CAMELOT AND FELT QUITE CONTENTED!

All I can say about this restaurant is WOW! I wish I lived closer to Torquay so that I could visit more often. We recently discovered this lovely little restaurant as we were away for a few days visiting Torquay, Paignton & Brixham. We are little Merlin geeks so the outside of this restaurant caught our attention straight away....


The inside was even better, its quite small but the medieval theme is fantastic! They have themed cocktails and even the plates are huge and you really feel as if you having a medieval feast!

The menu was huge and the choice of food was excellent. To start we went for the Camelot Dipper which they serve for 2 or for 4 people. This way we got to try a bit of everything as it was filled with potato wedges, camelot chicken wings, sauteed shell on prawns, green lipped mussels, scampi, onions rings, garlic bread, salad & dips. It didn't sound too huge until I just listed down the things on the platter and at the time we had no idea just how big the platter would be especially because for the two of us it was only £9.95 so we were only expecting a standard sharing platter but we were sooooo wrong and when it arrived it was huge but we couldn't have been happier because after a day of sightseeing we were very hungry and ready for our medieval feast they even had finger bowls which was great because normally I would hate to peel prawns and have chicken wings when im out because of the mess :)

Just check out the picture...nom nom NOM!....






After making our way through the starter we were pretty full but ready for our steaks. I had my steak with their Hunters Sauce which was a sauce of oven roasted shallots & whole button mushrooms, red wine & beef stock finished with a flat leaf parsley and it was fantastic!




We had a great time here and the waiter was very friendly as were the other customers who all couldn't believe how huge the portions were so I thought it was defintely worth mentioning on my blog with a little review for you all!


Have you got any themed restaurants in your area?

Fabulous meal at Miller and Carter - Mailbox

Fabulous meal at Miller and Carter - Mailbox

The new Miller and Carter steakhouse opened at the Mailbox in April and we just knew we had to go. I love my steaks and I certainly wasn't dissapointed!

We started off with their Sharing platter which really helped us out because it was way too difficult to choose which starter to have. The sharing platter had Creole prawns, buffalo chicken wings, garlic bread, cheddar mushrooms and a slice of Miller and Carters secret recipe onion loaf, served with chilli marmalade and BBQ dips

It was amazing! We really enjoyed it, unfortnately I haven't got a picture but it was yummy. The prawns and the mushrooms were my favourite. The Mushrooms had an amazing creamy sauce yumyum.

For my main course I had Sirloin Steak with their iceberg lettuce wedge drizzled with Caesar Dressing with Parmesan and Croutons, I think the picture sums up how awesome it was...


Their special recipe onion loaf was delicious and the steak was a-m-a-z-i-n-g my boyfriend had the Smoky Barbecue Chicken which he said was very good but he had major food envy and we both decided that when we go back again we will both be ordering steak!

The current offer on with the mailbox rewards card got us a free glass of Champagne each so that was another bonus! If you do visit the mailbox and don't have one of their reward cards sign up for the free card by following this link- http://www.mailboxlife.com/rewards/

We were way too full to have a dessert so we will have to try and leave room for one next time as we will definitely be back!
