Fabulous setting, friendly and efficient staff. Sunday roast cost a little more than I usually pay but it was absolutely delicious. I had beef, my husband lamb, cooked to our liking. Followed by lush deserts; all washed down with gorgeous real ale. Definitely recommend (suggest booking ahead) and will definitely be returning.
Delicious takeaway tonight. Coq au vin and pork belly. Very tasty. Thank you Tradesmans arms! We will be back for more!
WOW what a lovely takeaway Sunday lunch my wife and I have just enjoyed, hand delivered to our door.
The beef was truly melt in the mouth and it came with all the trimmings, highly recommended, thank you Mike & Sue
Excellet hosting, service, food and drink. Great atmosphere. I will definitely go in there when I’m in the area again.
So stellt man sich einen englischen Pub. Mit der Ausnahme, dass hier das Essen besser ist, als usually!
I stopped in here with my 2 kids, the food was awesome (we had scallops and fish and chips for main). The staff we very friendly and helpfull, lovely place highly recommend
we visited on Sunday forgetting it was Father's Day and all tables were reserved but the fantastic Cathy squeezed us in and we had the best Sunday roast ever, well recommended
Extremely welcoming! We went for drinks and the Head Chef (Gareth) really made us feel welcomed and gave us recommendations on the local area and specific ales my dad might enjoy. Would definitely recommend!

Ginger sponge,ice cream and caramel sauce dessert would be hard to beat.
Had a wonderful meal here today, service was good, lovely setting, fab food portions and very tasty.
Lovely pub with friendly staff. Crab sandwich was delicious and the chips that went with it were fab.
Delicious food and great service. What more can one say? Excellent!
By the way, they are very dog friendly and there was no issue with my husband’s guide dog. In fact we noticed they have been raising money for a guide dog puppy. Sx
What a great time, it was our first time to the Tradesman Arm’s as we are newly local and we will be going back again soon. It was a great mixture of locals and tourists in the bar and restaurant.
The food tasted exceptional and served well. It was a hot day and I was still tempted by the Steak and Ale pie... glad I did, it is the best pie ever, so much tender steak pieces and a great pastry on top.
My partner had the special being mussels as did many others, so a messy time was had by all.
Dogs are very welcome, wished we had of taken ours now but we thought it too hot, they would have made many friends....
Service was excellent at the bar and in the restaurant too, a lovely country pub doing excellent local food with a good atmosphere.
Bluey the Budgie was made very welcome and his ickle bottle was filled with water. He sat happily chatting away as we tucked into a fabulous roast beef lunch with all the trimmings, followed by their scrummylicious ice cream 🍨. Warm friendly happy atmosphere serving local produce with a smile and sense of humour. Highly recommend this lovely pub, it’s immaculate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had lunch today on our first visit - just wish we could have stayed for Spanish Night! A real 'old' pub with friendly staff (and customers), good food and a lovely setting.
Just enjoyed a 3 night stay at the delightful little pub. Food is superb as are the friendly staff and customers. Will return.
Wonderful place! The chef is amazing!!!
Food out of this world. Staff amazing & v dog friendly. Have our own table with our bulldog who has her own bowl of water and bones.
Kath fantastic lady
Great little pub
10 out of 10 for food
The steak and ale pie was huge and cooked to perfection
Mysig B&B i traditionell stil. Nära mycket vackra ställen i Devon men ändå avskilt. Puben är trevlig med mycket god mat. Gästvänlig personal. Hade rummet över pubens bar och isoleringen var inte så bra därför kunde det vara störande under sen kvällen med sorlet nedifrån.
Just spent a couple of nights here and it was an absolute delight.superb food.Rib Eye steak an absolute must and so was the Fish pie superb room.superb service and the staff were brilliant.thank you to everyone at The Tradesmans Arms for looking after us..looking forward to coming back for sure.
Our second visit to The Tradesman Arms and just as great as the first time. Owners and staff very welcoming and friendly. Food very tasty and nice and hot.
Brilliant hospitality and customer service. Food amazing. We were brilliantly looked after. Thank you so much.
We have returned to Stokenham for a second year for a week's holiday. Before we left home we booked to have a meal here. We weren't dissappointed- the food, hospitality & welcome was brilliant. We had Salcombe crab followed by a huge steak & ale pie & battered fish & chips with homemade tartare sauce. Was scrummy. Pudding was 3 scoops of totally delicious ice cream. Totally yummy & definitely looking forward to our next meal on Thursday. Thank you all for a great evening.
We love the Tradesmans, Sunday lunch is fab. Warm welcome for all including Pixie 🐶Thank you
A great traditional pub in a beautiful location, great food and a good selection of ales
Came for a meal 2 weeks ago and the food was amazing! No complaints from 6 of us all having a 3 course meal. Highly recommend.
I called in today for a quick pint, what a friendly pub 🙂 and a good range of beers and ciders to choose from. I look forward to visiting again soon for their French or Italian themed evenings.
Had a lovely meal here this evening! Land lady was very lovely and served our needs at the last minute with a 7 month old baby. Very welcoming and a nice pub to be at with lovely views to add.

Tradesmans Arms, Kingsbridge, Devon
The Tradesmans Arms
A little cracker of a pub, 14th century, part thatched and two miles from the sea. Prop up the bar, bring the dogs, tuck into the fabulous food; head chef Kris Jury and his team are making a splash in remotest Devon, using fresh local produce. Formerly a brewhouse with three cottages, the pub stands in a sleepy village near Slapton Sands. Inside, find charmingly rustic dark beams and slate floors and outside, a beer garden with lush countryside views. Superior malt whiskies, Otter and Tribute ales, an extensive wine list to suit all pockets, and a homemade pie with a beautiful glaze on its puff pastry lid. They also have a children’s menu.

A little cracker of a pub, 14th-century, part-thatched and two miles from the sea. Prop up the bar, bring the dogs, tuck into the fabulous food; head chef Kris Jury and his team are making a splash in remotest Devon, using fresh local produce, making seasonal changes to the menu. Formerly a brewhouse with three cottages, the pub stands in a sleepy village near Slapton Sands and takes its name from the tradesmen who trekked the coastal bridle path. Dark-beamed, slate-floored and charmingly rustic, the oldest part has a log-burner, antique tables and inviting bar stools, while the more hushed, more modern and slightly elevated dining room is red pattern-carpeted and dotted with gilt framed pictures. Outside: a beer garden with lush countryside views. Reasons to be here: superior malt whiskies, Otter and Tribute ales, top-notch breakfasts, an extensive wine list to suit all pockets, and a homemade pie with a beautiful glaze on its puff pastry lid. They also have a children’s menu, and do a great vegetarian option. Cathy and her husband have now introduced four bedrooms with super bathrooms upstairs, the two at the front the biggest and the best.
