We were staying nearby on holiday and popped in for a drink one evening and dinner the next. Lovely local pub, dog friendly and they have 2 dogs too. The more lively one was behind the bar, probably a good thing as our dog wants a game with every other dog he meets! The staff were really friendly and it had a nice family run vibe. Some nice beers on tap and the food was really flavourful, better than I expected from a pub. We particularly enjoyed the homemade deserts. Good size portions and great value for money. Definitely recommend visiting!

Great little place. A real family feel. The staff were amazing...especially with our two little kids. They loved playing with the dogs and using the colouring books. It was like being invited to someone's home for a meal.

A well used local pub. Menu is straight out of the 70s - think prawn cocktail and gammon steaks - but very nice food. Very friendly service, good selection of beers & ciders and 2 lovely bar dogs. What more could you want? Some confusion over when they are open with Google saying the are open Wed - Sun and their website saying Thurs - Sun (Google was right)

Proper pub! Plus dog and child friendly. We visited twice while staying nearby on holiday, once for Sunday roast and again for Thursday evening. On both occasions the food and service was exceptional! Generous portions of proper homemade food, with so much choice they really do cater for everyone. Everyone who worked there were so welcoming, friendly and were brilliant with the dogs and keeping our young child entertained. The pub itself was very clean, with lots of character. We hope to visit again if we’re ever passing

Absolutely fantastic roast! We stumbled upon this gem in Devon and were blown away. The food was top quality — everything cooked to perfection with generous portions. Service was speedy and super friendly, you can tell it’s a family-run place with a lot of heart. It had a warm, welcoming vibe that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re after a proper roast and great hospitality! Big thank you to John who looked after us all!
