About this place Steam Packet Inn

The Steam Packet Inn is a family-owned pub on St Peter's Quay, right on the River Dart and about five minutes' walk from the centre of Totnes. It belongs to the small Buccaneer pub group. Upstairs are ensuite bedrooms, let on a bed-and-breakfast or room-only basis, and downstairs is a traditional bar with a river terrace. Dogs are allowed in the bar and on the terrace. Food runs all day, with breakfast until late morning, and the pub stays open until 10pm most nights (11pm on Fridays and Saturdays). It is a mainstream pub, not a gay venue. Google rates it 4.4 from about 1,350 reviews. The terrace fills up on sunny weekends, so book a table if you want to eat outside.

Nice pub in a lovely location. Their full English is one of the best I’ve had! They also light a fire in winter which is so cosy. The only problem is the seagulls outside! You can’t sit out there and eat without being dive bombed every five minutes. At least four tables had to go inside on a beautiful day due to it, which is a shame for the pub. Maybe some netting would stop it!

Bought a car from a local garage and the guy said it was a lovely pub ! Well he wasn't wrong. Fab pub , fab views of the river Dart too. Found a table outside and the waitress took our order / paid right there. So easy 👌 Had a pint of cider and a fish finger sandwich that was lovely. I'd definitely go again
