Blue Lion Inn in West Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The latest chef joined last month, from the Oxenham Arms. My goodness he can cook! our two most recent meals have produced dishes of the highest quality, right up there with the well known local gastro pubs in the area and at a fraction of the price! Last night we both had the chicken dish off of the specials board, absolutely perfect, mouthwateringly succulent; cannot fault it. As good as we've eaten anywhere and only £15-95. The pubs has several perfectly kept ales and a varied and keenly priced wine list. Recommended.

First Class proper pub. Excellent staff, friendly and great Sunday Lunch. Thanks for a lovely meal and such great staff

The "new" chef joined in August and has significantly improved things. There is now a varied and oft-changing specials board and the portions are now generous. The Fish & Chips are extremely good and fresh from Brixham. The Spiced Lamb in flatbread is fantastic. The Blue serves very good food and is excellent value - average mains price is £15. The "popcorn" shrimp is a lovely starter dish, enough for two to share. The wines are of good quality with a variety of grapes and styles offered and all are very fairly priced. There are usually 3 or 4 real ales on tap and they are always kept immaculately. proper pub; proper pub food.

Came in for lunch the other Saturday. Everyone happy with their meals, lovely homemade chips worth a mention. Only critic is I had the market fish special and whilst lovely, it could have done with some veg at £18.95. My only other wishlist would be to have a Devon cider on tap rather than Inches. Planning on coming back to try the new Sunday roast menu, Xmas menu looks good too. Cheers

Popped in here off the cuff on the drive back from Launceston and we are so glad we did! This is by far the best freehold we’ve been in for a while 👍🏻 We had a veggie tagine and the steak pie. Both meals were beautiful but that pie is still being talked about weeks later. The chef here is doing a wonderful job. If you’re looking for a solid 10/10 place to eat and drink and you’re in the area, chose this place!
