Steam Packet Inn

The staff were really friendly and welcoming, food was very tasty. Decided to have a few smaller plates. Crab Bruschetta i would recommend. Spicy wings were very very good but only 4 which i thought was a bit tight even for a starter. Bbq pork belly was very small, tasty but far too small a portion. Very good place to eat, drink and relax but need to consider portion size.

Super atmosphere in this delightful pub!! The band was playing blues and the food looked tasty...the cider was flowing and the company very friendly!! Very enjoyable!!

A nice pub with a surprisingly classy upper sitting area. Food was excellent, the atmosphere is great, and service was inexperienced. Little pricey and they charge for fountain drink refills (got charged £6.40 for two glasses of Pepsi, yikes). Overall nice spot, but would go to The Ship up the hill for a more traditional pub experience.

This is a lovely pub with great staff and atmosphere. Lovingly restored by the owner from the ground up, with excellent attention to detail. Would highly recommend for food and beer or a wide range of gins and other spirits. Nice upper deck when the weather is good.
Good luck with your enterprise.

Went on the train from Paignton to Kingswear. Once at Kingswear we needed some refreshment. The pub is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The staff are courteous and helpful. We didn’t have food so can’t really comment on that but the beer selection was great. Great for a pit stop before going back on the train.

So today my partner and I did the Dartmouth steam railway . On arrive to Kingswear, we decided to pop in for a drink and food. I’m so glad we came to the Steam Packet Inn, just a minute walk from the station. It’s one of the nicest pubs I’ve ever been in. The pub is a character. Very well decorated. Very happy and friendly staff. The pub is dog friendly. And the food is delicious. If coming to Kingswear, definitely the pub to visit.

Visited here for the first time. What a great experience! The chef was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful about my dietary needs (coeliac and allergy to soya). He produced a special meal for me which was excellent. Strongly recommend anyone to eat here - the food was lovely, staff excellent and place was spotlessly clean. The views are really good.

We didn’t eat here but popped in on our way back from Dartmouth. This is a lovely pub with great staff. Plus, someone has really put some effort in to decorate the place beautifully. There is a first floor deck overlooking the station and its steam train, the boatyard and across onto Dartmouth. Fabulous and well worth a visit. They deserve success. PS parking isn’t easy at this location and is pay and display at the boatyard over the hill and it’s a one way street so don’t miss it!!

Ordered the calamari and garlic mushrooms and fries. Delicious. 3 pints of Jail Ale which was absolutely superb. Great staff. Very hospitable. Gave our dog some treats which were gratefully received. Will return very soon.

Lovely place, with superb terrace view over River Dart. Staff lovely and welcoming. Just had sandwiches and a pint but it was all delicious! Very convenient for steam railway station, too!

very nice welcoming place, can't fault the staff and the food was delicious 😋

Dropped in for a pint on a long country walk. Even though we had a picnic - the food looked so great we had to have a small plate to share……. There were a lot of crab and lobster dishes. The crab bruschetta was perfect.

A real gem in Devon, wonderful staff, stunning inside decor and so comfortable. Amazing choice of food and drink and probably one of the best vistas to see the river Dart and Dartmouth. First class all the way :)

Love this place! Very nice intimate lil bar right next to the train station, the food is amazing! the the staff make it even better very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back a for a few pints and some tasty snacks

Came here on a sunny Wednesday afternoon and sat on the roof terrace overlooking Kingswear and Dartmouth. The food was top notch and value for money. This isn’t my first visit and will certainly not be my last.

Great little pub in Kingswear overlooking Dartmouth. Food is very tasty and a good selection. Staff very friendly staff and a good local vibe. Toilet facilities are very fresh….

Absolutely exquisite! We ordered take away, and brought back to our holiday house. Really authentically made, very high quality, light with a proper crust. If you want a pizza in this area, this should be your first pic

What an amazing place, my wife and I absolutely fell in love with this on our stay in Kingswear. The food was consistently excellent even for picky bits to have with a drink or three. The pizzas are superb and the beers are well kept. Special mention had to be made for the staff who were always busy and rushed off their feet but were always friendly and helpful and happy to chat. You felt like a valued customer not just another tourist passing through. The seating is lovely and cosy inside with more of a restaurant feel upstairs and then the upper outdoor seating area is perfect in the sun. A real gem which has been lovingly upgraded and is a perfect stopover for a beer with spectacular views of the marina, the steam railway and over towards Dartmouth.
Don't pass this by, it is a very special spot!

Lovely food. Best so far.
Friendly, helpful staff.
Great atmosphere and we just loved the outdoor Terrace with fab views of the river.
Will be back.

Lovely, quirky pub, friendly staff, great beer!
