What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Local Gastro Bar And Grill is highly praised for its exceptional food, particularly the BBQ sharing platter and Sunday roasts, and its welcoming, attentive staff. Many reviewers highlight the friendly and accommodating service, making it a top choice in Paignton. While the food and service receive consistent praise, some guests noted a limited beer selection.
"Found this place after reading reviews. Wow, the whole experience was brilliant. The staff were welcoming and friendly, made us feel very comfortable. The meal itself was the best we've had in many a day. We had the BBQ sharing platter. Every single piece of meat was cooked to perfection and the presentation was haw dropping. Next time we're back that way, we'll be going back. Thanks for a fabulous gastronomic experience."
Richard Burman
"So good we came two nights in a row!
I cannot rave about the local enough. Not only is the food delicious with options for the whole family, the staff are beyond attentive. Andie and Jaimie in the kitchen are far too talented that I want to live in the food.
Steve the server is so much more than that. My partner and I came in a little before 8pm and he had not only remembered the drinks we'd had the night before but also had written a lovely reservation sign for us. He lights up the place.
I would make this your number 1 place to eat when in Paignton."

"We went with friends and our dog and couldn’t feel more welcomed. Water bowl & treats provided! The selection of food was great. I had the sea bass and it was absolutely delicious. All 5 of us enjoyed our meals. Why have I not been here before? All so friendly and making sure all was ok. We will be coming back as we’ve found. Very clean and just a lovely place to eat and drink!"
