I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

I recommend calling ahead for seating, as the place was booked full on a Monday evening. You place your order at the bar and the food is brought to your table. I chose the plain jacket potato with prawns. The potato was large and it had a MASSIVE amount of prawns on top. The side salad was refreshing and large as well. I visit Devon 3-4 times a year on business, and this was by far the best pub food I've had.

Situated in the village of Sourton just off the A30 nr Okehampton, this very unusual pub is said to…read moredate back to 1282 and is said to be haunted. There is ample free parking available. This pub has several themed bars which are all decorated differently in an olde worlde style with cider presses for tables and antlers for lamps, you can spend all night looking around and the more you look the more strange and unusual things you will spot. The main entrance into the building is built to resemble a stage coach with seating inside it, to the rear, adjoining the building there is a giant boot just like the one out of the nursery rhyme about the old woman who lived in a shoe which houses a slide for the children and adults if you can fit down it!!!! This pub is a MUST for a visit, the owners are very friendly and will tell you the history of the establishment and give you a tour of the various different rooms.

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.

In all honesty I was expecting a little bit of a 'wicker man' vibe but the pub is populated by friendly locals and staff who are more than happy to bring you into the fold. There's a decent selection of beers and ciders including some local Sharps beers and the ever deadly Cornish Rattler cider! All the food is prepared by Pat (the landlady) who supplements a fairly extensive menu with 5 or 6 specials that change pretty frequently - everything from freshly caught fish to roast pheasant is on offer. On a Wednesday the fish and chip van rolls into this lovely little hamlet and you can place your orders at the pub and enjoy a couple of pints before either taking your dinner home or eating it there! There wasn't any music on when we were there but there was plenty of signs up advertising entertainment to keep you occupied in this sleepy little place. A cracking pub in a cracking little place, we're already planning our next trip back!

This is high quality and diverse with a dozen fish dishes, another board of specials and even snails. The sausage and mash gives you different types of sausages to choose from, all locally sourced. The double burger came with handmade colslaw, a thick slice of bacon and mature cheddar. Very nicely done indeed. The bar has The locally produced Jail Ale and a great choice of soft drinks and other beers. The pub also has a campsite and a bunk house and it is short walk to South Hessary tor for the energetic (and achieveable with children on a nice day). Overall, this is well worth a visit and family friendly.
