Stover Golf Club

Located on the edge of Newton Abbot is a convenient treat for golfers in the south west, with easy access from the A38 and M5. The course is one of the best courses in the south west.

The beautiful parkland course features a wide variety of holes, elevation change, mature trees, streams and picturesque ponds.

It also has a restaurant in the clubhouse, which, sadly, is underused. The Sunday dinners were started about a couple of months ago, and we went 3 weeks ago and really enjoyed our meal there.


So we decided to do the same after our walk.

They offered chicken, lamb, or beef. Last time we were there the chef said we could have a bit of everything as we couldn't decide.....so I was cheeky and asked if we could have the same again.....and they said yes!



The whole meal was home cooked  and served with cauliflower cheese, runner beans, broccoli and carrots....in abundance!

This included wonderfully puffed-up Yorkshire puddings and stuffing.

As if we were not full after that we opted for the puddings. I had Irish Cream indulgence and Colin had Raspberry Creme Brulee. Both were divine.

We had the option of:
1 course @ £6:50....(yes as cheap as that!!!!!)
2 courses @ £9:50
3 courses @ £13:50.

We could only manage 2 courses and they were big portions.

So full marks to a very unused facility, but who maintain their standards even if there only a few Sunday lunchers!
