Family run pub with fantastic food and a great selection of drinks. Always be sure of a warm welcome
(431)

The Chelston Manor is situated off Walnut Road in the leafy suburb of Chelston

Chelston Manor is a charming 17th century house of great character. Set in its own grounds, it is reputed to be one of the oldest in Torquay. Originally thatched, many of the unique features of the building remain today, with Tudor hood-moulds over the windows and paired octagonal chimneys. Whilst the policy of constant improvement has resulted in some alterations, the interior of the property retains many reminders of its history. The hotel is within walking distance of the sea front, railway station, English Riviera Centre and Torquay's many holiday amenities. The suntrap garden provides a beautiful setting in which to relax and enjoy a cool drink. There is an enclosed area for toddlers and a children's play area. This family orientated pub is now under the new ownership of Julie & Dave Armstrong. Their aim, with the help of their experienced team, is to create a welcoming atmosphere that is enhanced by first class customer service and the quality affordable food on offer. We pride ourselves on being a family run, Family friendly pub offering solid quality value. At present there is no accommodation available as work will commence in the summer 2015 which will result in there being 10 double or twin bedrooms, each is furnished to a excellent standard - all rooms will have the benefit of en-suite private facilities.

Moments like these remind us exactly why we love what we do.

We recently had the absolute honour of hosting a very special 80th birthday celebration here at The Chelston Manor, and receiving this heartfelt message from our guest truly made our week:

"Thank you very much for hosting my 80th birthday celebration at your establishment... I was over the moon by the way everything was organised, and everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The buffet was absolutely wonderful (probably one of the best buffets I have ever had), the service was outstanding and the staff were so kind, efficient, obliging and friendly. I could not have asked for a better place to celebrate my 80th birthday."

A milestone celebration deserves nothing less than perfection, and we couldn’t be prouder of our incredible team. From our talented kitchen brigade who delivered such a memorable spread, to our front-of-house staff whose warmth, grace, and attentiveness shone through—thank you for consistently going above and beyond.

Planning a celebration of your own? Whether it is a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or an intimate gathering with loved ones, our team would love to help you bring it to life.

Send us a message or get in touch with our team today to start planning your special event. 🥂

This isn't just Bangers and Mash.

This is your choice of prime, succulent Cumberland or artisan butcher’s pork sausages, cooked until golden and bursting with savoury flavour.
Resting on a pillow of velvety, butter-enriched mashed potatoes delicately folded with the warm bite of wholegrain mustard.
Accompanying this classic is a medley of tender, vibrant seasonal vegetables, all brought together by a rich, slow-simmered caramelised red onion gravy.

Available this week ONLY at Chelston Manor.
