Yarn is incredible - the atmosphere was so welcoming and warm from the moment we stepped in. The food is amazing - the best burgers we’ve ever had! - and the chicken salt fries are out of this world.
We were only in Dartmouth for the week on holiday but went to Yarn twice (the second time being our final night of the holiday and our anniversary). It’s such an amazing place and we just wished we lived closer so that we could return quicker!

The combination of Yarn’s intimate setting, agreeable ambiance, elegantly provided “front-of-house” service, appetising food, a creative drinks menu and sensible pricing make it the “Pocket Battleship” of Dartmouth’s café culture.

All round great experience we arrived somewhat earlier than booked time but were made welcome and, as it is only small venue, after a bit
of table juggling given a decent spot. Good selection of drinks, beer, lager, cider, wine and spirits plus a great choice of burgers, sides and extras. However you like your burger you will find it here and they are no ordinary burgers one of the best I've ever tasted fabulous. Staff are pleasant, efficient and ready to meet your every need without being intrusive.
All in all good food and drink well cooked and presented in a pleasant environment at reasonable cost. Would not hesitate to visit in the future. Well done Yarn.

Awesome, comprehensive review Glynn, thank you. It's just the kind of information we look for before choosing a place we are visiting, so hopefully other people will be grateful to you too! Best wishes Simon @ Yarn- Overall: 8/10

Honestly the best burger I’ve ate in recent memory. Lovely little place with a good vibe and good beer.
Such a refreshing change from your big faceless chains.
Business Response:
Hi Leo, you're in good company!. There's a pretty strong consensus that Yarn burgers really are, shall we say. flipping good?! Thanks too for noticing the craft beer. We like to stick with South Hams for their great local range of traditional and modern ales, and New Bristol Brewery for IPAs etc. that are that little bit 'out there'. Glad you like them.
