Great Western Grill

Set within the grandeur of Bovey Castle on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the Great Western Grill offers a refined dining experience shaped by heritage, seasonality and a strong sense of place. The elegant dining room is calm and welcoming, with far-reaching views across the estate that reflect the scale and beauty of the surrounding moorland.

The restaurant is awarded 3 Rosettes by the AA for its culinary excellence, recognising a menu that celebrates the best of British produce, with a particular focus on ingredients sourced from Devon and the South West. Many dishes draw inspiration from Bovey Castle’s own kitchen garden, where herbs, fruit and vegetables are grown on site and used throughout the menu, creating a direct connection between estate and plate.

Alongside lunch and dinner, the Great Western Grill is also a setting for Bovey Castle’s traditional afternoon tea, served within the castle or out on the terrace when the weather allows, offering views across the gardens and surrounding Dartmoor landscape. Carefully prepared sandwiches, cakes and scones reflect the same attention to detail and quality found across the wider dining offering.

Bovey Castle is awarded Gold by Green Tourism, highlighting a commitment to responsible practices that complement the restaurant’s ingredient-led approach. With polished, intuitive service and an unhurried atmosphere, the Great Western Grill is a destination for memorable dining moments in one of the South West’s most iconic settings.
