Over priced, under sauced…read more TM is set in a beautiful location in Devon, complete with roaming wildlife, outside seating, a few squashy arm chairs, and a large chessboard. Hooray! However, the food just isn't up to scratch- often over cooked meat, a dash of pretentiousness, and poor coffee. You can get better, much better, closer by. If you like a good selection of ales (chin, chin) or want somewhere to take nan for a fair roast on Sunday, you've found somewhere she'll love. Just don't expect to find the feeling mutual.

Getting here on foot from Bigbury on Sea or the other villages nearby is usually faster than driving, thanks to a network of public footpaths. So to the pub itself - it's really old with black wood beams, low ceilings and various nooks and crannies to hide it while you eat and drink. I enjoyed a really good plate of local sausages and mash along with a bottle of Cava and a dreamy yes DREAMY lemon and ginger cheesecake. Lots of reprints of press gang posters and similar from Nelson's time. I recommend finding the snug to eat in, right by the bar billiards table - the main dining room is nice enough but not special. Only ding is for the endless loop of a Phil Collins CD - I eventually blocked it out but it would have been good to have better music.

Stumbling and soaked I arrived at the Sportsmans Inn after a twenty mile hike and a screw up with…read moremy train times. Desperate for a room after being turned away elsewhere I was delighted to be provided for. Not only was this delightful little inn a wonderfully decorated oasis and a startling surprise considering the patriotic flags hanging outside, but the staff were friendly and the place had a lovely buzz. From the outside you'd be amazed by the interior, frankly it looks a little rough but this is what makes it a magical place for the locals. The food looked fabulous and was well priced. Being a little pooped, I headed straight to my room to sleep and dry out a sopping wet tent. In the morning I had a fine breakfast with a superbly poached egg, a rarity in the modern British breakfast. There was a great array of real ales, I tasted the lot and every one was well looked after and good tasting. As an added bonus the delightful landlady allowed me to keep my room until the train arrived that evening. I'll not forget this place, and due to the friendliness and service I will always carry it in my heart. Should I ever find myself in the area again, I'll be sure to make a return visit.

The Sportsman Inn is a lovely little pub just outside Ivybridge in Lee Mill. It has it's own…read moreprivate car park with lots of parking. It is a ok looking building and the decor inside is tasteful, it also very clean and tidy and well presented. The food is probably slightly better then you would expect from a pub, it is more a restaurant I feel then a pub. The food is lovely, it has a very nice upmarket menu which is reasonably priced, with some amazing deserts to make your mouth water. The pub comes with it's own talking parrot which is in a cage in the corner, which can be highly amusing. Downstairs there is a private room that can be hired for Functions, they regularly have good bands playing there including recently The Neil Diamond Tribute Band. They also do special promotions on there menu called the early bird where a selection of the menu is discounted if you eat before a certain time, so there truly is a meal there for every price range. A really lovely evening spent there.

The previous landlord tried really hard to boost this amazing pub to recover from the damage that…read morewas quickly done by his predecessor and wife, sadly it was always going to be a challenge and the Church House Inn changed hands again in 2015. This change has brought a breath of fresh air, the welcome is again warm and friendly, the food exceptional, gone is that massive menu of countless items which were only possible with the help of a freezer and microwave, never a good combination! Now the menu is manageable and cooked to order by a more than competent chef, for the first time in a long while we see a pass with heat lamps to keep the food hot a sign of a chef who cares about his creations enough to serve them hot and fresh, he does not disappoint either it really is exceptional food, hot, fresh and well presented but more to the point it tastes amazing. The price, we'll give it a try and you decide, we think it offers fantastic value for money and is run by a team of caring professionals so it is back on our hit list "must do" places our only worry is that too many will agree and we won't just drop in but have to book. Well done all at the Church House Inn for bringing this diamond its sparkle back.

Daft really this has been one of my favourite eating pubs for at least 20 years and I have never…read moreQyped it! This is possibly the oldest inn in England, dating from 1028, however it started as a hostel to house the masons who were building the church next door. The menu is excellent and the food has never let us down. The menu is suplemented by an enormous daily specials board with the accent on fish and game. There is a good choice of real ales and some of the other fizzy stuff for people who have lost their sense of taste. The wine list is extensive and contains some really good, reasonably-priced stuff. As can be imagined in view of the age of the building, the inn has a great traditional feel. The latest landlord is a clone of his predecessors in that his welcome is warm and his patience long well Judi always changes her mind at the last minute! So on your next visit to Devon, set your satnav to this lovely old inn. It's popular, though, so I would recommend that you book.

Yank here. First of all, I disagree with the poster that…read moresaid this is average pub food. Maybe we just have terrible pub food in the US, but I would consider this pub food gourmet and made with love. I had their fish and chips and it was a legit entire fish fried golden brown. I subbed onion rings for fries bc I honestly couldn't stomach another "chip" in the UK. I'm tired of fried potatoes, sorry. So this entire fish was not the frozen, breaded blocks of fish you get in America. I felt my coronary arteries occluding after eating 25% of my fish and after one onion ring so I had to tap out. But not before I devoured the mushy peas- bc it's almost like mashed potatoes, except green and not potatoes. Husband had the beef shin special which was delicious and odd (I can't say I've ever had shin served in the US... it doesn't sound appetizing but it's pretty tasty). We had drinks to start and let me just say I got schooled on proper gin drinking- I'll be sure to consume my gin and tonic in a bowl, double shot gin, and plenty of ice. I had a fantastic meal. This place gets busy so make a ressie ahead of time. These country roads in Devon are a little treacherous for this California girl, but if we return I would definitely make a trip back here.
