What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Annex Tavistock is highly praised for its delicious and flavorful tapas, creative cocktails, and outstanding service, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. While most dishes receive rave reviews, one specific plant-based dish was noted as not living up to expectations for those familiar with traditional halloumi.
"This was our (family of 3) first visit to Annex, Tavistock. The Tapas dishes in Annex are delicious. The taste is very good with burst of flavours.
The service is excellent and we felt welcomed with the smiling faces of the staff. We will definitely be having our meals here when we are around Tavistock."

"We had a fantastic experience at The Annex! The food and service were both absolutely outstanding. You must try the braised pork belly and shredded crispy chicken bang bang! A special shoutout to Esther, who made our visit even more memorable, she we went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back in the future!"
