Luxury hotel Woodbury Park is perhaps best known for its golf course and being previously owned by British racing driver and F1 champion Nigel Mansell.
But the leisure complex is also home to two restaurants and two equally impressive dining experiences.
The Atrium restaurant strikes a balance between formal and relaxed dining, serving predominantly British food in stylish yet comfortable surroundings.
The Terrace Bar and Grill is the place to go for lighter bites, afternoon teas and great views of the Devon countryside.
In both locations, the food is prepared to order with a strong focus on using locally sourced Devon and Westcountry produce. Its menus change as the seasons in Devon dictate, so visitors can enjoy something new from each of the restaurants every time they return.
What?
The sample menu in The Atrium restaurant has starters that include homemade rabbit pasty with blackberry purée, £8, and celeriac and apple soup with fennel seed, £6.
Mains range from homemade gnocchi with heritage tomatoes and butternut squash and sage butter, £12.50; to Red Ruby beef fillet, £25.
Desserts include walnut and honey cheesecake with poached figs, £7.50, and chocolate and salted caramel pot, £7.50.
