Chagford Inn in West Devon

Lovely roast with the family. Good veggie options and novel ice-cream flavours.

Just had dinner. So disappointing compared to previous visits (we live next door). Food was uninteresting, service dropped off completely and cost was exorbitant for what we received. Also requests to change or turn off the ghastly wailing music were not responded to promptly. We were 2 of only 6 covers for the whole evening. We did bag the woodburnerside which compensated.

Excellent pub. Fantastic service and made to feel welcome. Beer was on great form (tavistock brewery) and the food was brilliant. Simply a 5 star pub, highly recommended.

We came here for dinner a couple of months ago and had a lovely time. The food was good, albeit quite expensive and the service was very good. We were the only people in there all evening which was a worrying sign but it was all pretty good! I would go back if in the area, although wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

A very nice pub, wonderful food. Great atmosphere, friendly staff

We had an exquisite dinner. The artichoke soup was delicious as well as the fish pâté as a starter. My wife had a vegetarian main course and I had de Guinea fowl. Dessert were also very original (stout ice cream). A must if you visit Dartmoor. You will not be disappointed

Superb dinner - we were thrilled. We had the specials, which were very much worth it, especially the guinea fowl. This small intimate restaurant is not to be missed!

Excellent food. Try the duck breast! And the Pannacotta. Book beforehand to avoid disappointment. Good service otherwise but got diner at 7.40 after arrival as booked at 7.00 pm.

Pub was very nice and cosy, and the food was decent however the prices and portion sizes were pretty disgusting and felt robbed to be honest. £18 for a beef burger and £9 for a pate starter which was the size of one bite was pretty poor. It is a real shame as the pub itself is amazing and staff were lovely and friendly.

We ate at the Chagford Inn this time last year whilst we were on holiday locally and enjoyed an outstanding meal. So we were really looking forward to our meal there this time around. How disappointed we were. Firstly I would like to say how lovely the front of house staff were. Very friendly and helpful. However the food wasn’t so great. Hake on a stew of chickpeas, chorizo and red peppers sounded delicious. In reality it was as if the chef had just opened a can of chickpeas, added some cubed chorizo and cooked red peppers and thrown them on a plate. Tasteless and watery - quite unpleasant after a few mouthfuls. And the hake was over cooked and dry, heading towards cotton wool texture. My partner ordered the burger which was very dry and overcooked, with fries that weren’t very pleasant either. We didn’t bother to stay for a dessert. Maybe, just maybe, it might have been understandable if the restaurant was super busy but it wasn’t! This is probably the most expensive of the several places to eat in Chagford. Last year it was worth every penny. This year, sadly, not so much.

We had an excellent Sunday meal today for my Mum's birthday. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. We had a large table with young children and we were extremely well catered for. The facilities were clean and the pub atmosphere and ambience was very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and look forward to returning again. Thank you for making my Mum's birthday so special.

Excellent food in a lovely atmosphere.

A friendly pub, with really excellent food. I had a superb steak here, cooked to perfection. I look forward to returning.

Nice pub, cosy, friendly and nice food

Lovely local and relaxed inn. Perfect for our road trip together through Devon. Food was absolutely stunning. Lovely inn. Will definitely return.

Lovely family meal on a holiday in the SW. Brilliant food, including chocolate fondant to die for. Attentive service and for quality of meal, not that expensive in comparison with other similar establishments.

Amazing service and exceptional food highly recommended

Quite pricey for rather underwhelming food. Portion size was very small and there was grit in the greens. Service was a bit slow

Functional reasonably priced rooms, noisy external door at 4am closing after customer taking a dog out for a wee. Good value for money but no response to my request for internet being unavailable, had to go in the pub across the road.

Smallest meals we have ever been served anywhere and we eat out a lot in expensive tourist places so lots to compare .. pork belly is normally a favourite but was literally around 1 inch by 1 inch ie. 2 small mouthfuls of almost entirely fat accompanied by two small mouthfuls of dauphinoise and half a small carrot a 6 mouthfuls meal in total at the princely sum of £21 for a main course. It took us 5 minutes to eat and the flavours were mediocre so we didn’t even bother to stay for pudding. Even if it had been a starter we would have been thinking it was small but as a main it was disgraceful.. Either they have become greedy since earlier reviews or they thought here are a couple of tourists we can fleece.. Either way we wont be back. I don’t like writing reviews like this but it really was infuriating. We were on one of our regular visits to Chagford .. the farmshop cafe the Folkhouse cafe and the Three Crowns are all excellent options

Friendly staff, great food and good atmosphere. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend.

Excellent tasty food from a varied menu, cassoulet very good and cauliflower vegetarian meal flavourful and hearty. Good beer options. Street appeal not great, add some hanging baskets? Don’t be put off, walk into a delightful pub restaurant and eat something a bit different.

I did not rate this pub. I have never been to the pub.

We have visited Chagford Inn twice now, and both times have been exceptional. They menu is always changing, and what they serve depends purely on what local ingredients they can source that week. The food is local, fresh, full of flavour. We have had the a la carte menu, and also the Sunday lunch. Both times have been equally as good as one another. I really cannot recommend this place enough! The staff are lovely and so attentive. We made a whole day of it and did a lovely walk at fingle bridge and castle drogo, only 15 mins from this gem of a place.

We chose the Chagford Inn from a choice of 4 pubs in the village as it had won some awards. As a vegetarian there was very little choice, I chose ‘ charred cauliflower with butter beans and sundried tomatoes. When it arrived it was as disappointing as it sounded, the size of a starter, a small piece of cauliflower that had no flavour, 3 pieces of tomato and about 8 butter beans , not in a sauce no herbs, no flavour, really disappointing. It wasn’t a coherent dish, and not cheap at £16. My partner had the pork belly dish which he said was not memorable. We won’t be returning , as it was expensive and the food was a real let down.

We stayed the night in the annexe (comfortable, with high quality products provided, and although it was 'room only', there was cereal and fruit available - very much welcomed by hungry walkers. We ate in the restaurant and it was a highlight of our ten-day trip - absolutely superb food. It is very seasonal and dependant on local supply, so the menu probably changes often, but we can heartily recommend their rabbit ravioli, lamb 3 ways and ragu with polenta. The place is family run and you could sense the commitment to making it a success. Wonderful - and I hope they get the Muddy Stilettos award they were nominated for.

Really well cooked food from a menu that although not huge makes us struggle to choose as there are so many really interesting choices. My wife had the rabbit and I had the ragu, both were absolutely delicious and we ended up sharing half and half. Having visited this pub with rooms on each of our return visits to the area we have never been disappointed and it remains a must whenever we are close by.

Excellent food, great service, and a warm, engaging pub. You can bring your well behaved dogs. We come regularly and love it every time.

The best light lunch I've had in a long time!!! Homemade corned Beef on toast, with a perfect fried egg, fabulous. Was quiet when I visited during a week day lunchtime, but a cracking pub that'll I'll definitely check out again one evening. Dog friendly too

The stand out meal of a long walking weekend around Dartmoor - by miles. Highly recommended.

Had a great dinner here with friends - the food was sensational! Will most definitely come back when in town again. Excellent!

Popped in for lunch twice in two weeks while looking at property in the area. I had the mussels and beef brisket, and my husband had beef and polenta and also mussels. The pub is lovely: independent feel, nice decor, great service; and staff also play good, ambient music. Food was all delicious, especially the mussels and wine was excellent too. Really fantastic local pub.

Had an incredible lunch here today. Beautiful inside, friendly service and the food was superb. Maybe the best burger I have ever had?!

We loved the Chagford Inn! Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff and stunningly good food. We ate here twice and loved every last mouthful. The chef is humbly serving up world class food full of skill and zero pretence. Can’t wait to come back to Chagford just so I can eat here again!

Lost count of how many times I’ve been here. Fantastic atmosphere, great service and the vegetarian options get better all the time. A real hidden gem.

Came last year, it was great. Revisit this year, it was very great, well done. But it was a bit chilly on both occasions, it was December, but ..

Best place to eat in Chagford. The food was absolutely delicious Warm welcome for both us and our dog

Had Christmas special menu, the food was sublime! There were 4 of us and not one of us could fault any course. Amazing produce and flavours, this is a ‘must’ destination if you come to Chagford. Cocktails were excellent too!

This is a review of the "Chinn's" restaurant. Our dinner was highlighted by pub-ish ambience and superb service thanks to Jack. House-special olives (large green and black) were followed by shredded corned beef over toast topped with a smiling fried egg. Different and delicious. Overall A++ experience.

My wife's birthday was made extra special - and tasteFull - with a dinner at the "Chinn." Classic British village setting / ambience and local good cheer to match. Catch of the day as fresh as they are caught; the corned beef on toast topped with a fried egg superb. Our host, Jack, was the epitome of cordiality. Extra kudos to whomever prepares the bread -- with just a touch of sweetness. Happy to recommend!

Excellent roast beef Sunday lunch which was amazing value. The venison pie was packed with flavour and dessert was delicious. The service was really friendly and they were very accommodating of our dogs. Will definitely return.

Good food & wine, a pleasant evening and the staff were friendly

Consistent and great! We came last year for a lovely delicious meal and booked again for this holiday, having noticed that it was up for awards, I thought “here we go, awards equal putting the price up “, but so far so good, no major price increase but still amazing quality and deliciousness, pigs head scrumpet, delicious! Venison cooked to perfection and the chocolate/coffee tart was just excellent, I had to have the cheese and that was just fabulous, helford blue, plums with a wonderful spicy French bread, it’s Christmas on a plate! I sincerely hope with all the accolades this place is getting it won’t start pricing itself out of my range. So many restaurants start accumulating awards and the real genuine foodies can’t afford to visit any more. Rant over, but the food here is just so, so good, thanks!

Food was awful such an expensive disappointment.

Had lunch here with my wife. Young lady serving was excellent and very attentive. Best burger I’ve ever had bar none. Wife’s Venison was “melt in mouth good”, and the wines were top notch. With starter, £62 for lunch. Absolute steal for food of this quality with great service. This is on our list of revisits to do. Thanks to you all.

Very good food though you'll need to order sides or several courses if you're hungry.

Waited a long time for an average meal. One of the staff members extremely rude, although this was slightly reprieved by a very nice waitress who I think was slightly embarrassed by the whole situation. I'm unlikely to recommend.

As it’s local reputation goes ‘Slow, expensive, but good food’. We had Sunday roast - my husband had the beef, I had the vegetarian option. I was v annoyed that the only gravy available was beef gravy. For goodness sake, how difficult is it to make vegetarian gravy?! Maybe I should have popped over to the Spar to get some gravy granules?! Come on #chagfordinn - for £19 surely we vegetarians deserve gravy?!

Having booked a table for two at 12 o'clock we arrived early at 11.40am. This was not a problem and we were warmly greeted. A good selection of ales and ciders are available. I had the slow cooked belly pork and my husband went for a pea and courgette risotto. The meals arrived promptly and were delicious. The portions were perfect. The roast came with 5 different veg and apple with the pork. All were cooked to perfection. The pork itself melted in the mouth and was the tastiest I can remember eating!

Had a excellent meal on our recent trip to Chagford. Well prepared food and good service.

We stayed for one night and it was perfect. Lunch was super delicious, the room rustic,spotlessly clean and very comfortable bed, excellent sleep. Dorothy on front of house was lovely, friendly and welcoming. A quaint and pretty village pub to stay, highly recommended. Chagford is a perfect,small country village/little town in spectacular countryside.

Fresh local food & great service. A family meal with our teenagers. The food beautifully presented and really fresh. They accommodated my vegan/coeliac daughter without fuss. A lively yet welcoming atmosphere on Saturday night, dogs welcome too.

A lovely pub serving absolutely belting food. Top drink selection too.

Wonderful food, well cooked with lots of interesting flavours. From the outside it is very unassuming but I would wholeheartedly recommend this as a place to eat.

Spent a week in chagford and eat three times at the chagford inn excellent food from a quality chef Sunday lunch with Great roast beef and veg as good as it gets superb desserts can’t wait to go back

We stayed in Chagford for a week and ate here several times. Sunday dinner, Fowey mussels and Burgers. I believe the meat is sourced locally and the handmade burgers were fabulous! Great choice of drinks on offer in a cosy setting with a sunny rear garden, very nice 😊

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere, dogs very welcome. The food is excellent and I’m very fussy. Will definitely be going back , thank you

Would like to have been more positive- the imaginative use of local ingredients etc, but it was bit mixed. Bresaola and mussels were terrific. Pigs trotters impressively wobbly but weirdly tasteless. Plaice a bit fluffy and buried under more capers than any human could eat. Better than pub grub but not quite the fine dining they are aiming for, sadly.

Friendly warm country pub with great food. We went here for Sunday roast after a long walk and didn't disappoint. Our dog was well catered for as they came and gave him some biscuits which he was most pleased with! Roast was a decent size with massive Yorkshire puddings and good value. Good selection of drinks at the bar.

Absolutely delicious meal. We read the menu and immediately knew the chef understands food, so we ordered the pigs head terrine to start and then liver and bacon (him) and venison Ragu (me). Both were absolutely delicious, delivered promptly and with friendly service. We followed up with the Rum Baba and Cheese Scone. This is excellent food, well cooked and locally sourced. You will be delighted.

We saw some excellent reviews and had high hopes for our dinner. However the food did disappoint. My husband's sauce was lacking flavour and was a bit watery and my venison Ragu and polenta was massively over seasoned and peppery making it unpleasant to eat. we just felt it was trying to serve up restaurant style food it couldn't deliver on. We did have a second night booked for dinner during our stay locally but decided to cancel

Best food in a long time, and coming from London we are quite spoilt, fresh ingredients, friendly service, definitely recommend if in the area. We had the braised beef, hake, burger and venison with polenta, all desserts also great and a fantastic cheese scone.

We dropped in here for a drink and another customer said if we were eating the food was amazing. So we checked out the menu and decided to have lunch. The food was so tasty, really well cooked and good portions. The staff were also...

Stopped for lunch while on the road. An unexpectedly delicious lunch! The menu has some Italian influences which are perfectly executed. All the ingredients are local and the plates were carefully thought out, tasty and filling. The meat was tender and melted in your mouth. Our highlights included the hake, braised beef, venison ragù and chocolate delice (pictures below). The service was also warm and welcoming. Not a single complaint- I highly recommend!

Lovely, quaint pub with a gourmet menu of deliciousness. Very unassuming and relaxed atmosphere. We came to Chagford for an overnight stay and dinner date. The staff were very welcoming and accomodating throughout. The hotel room was comfortable and nicely done. Would definitely recommend a visit to this place if you are in the area.

Lovely pub. Well worth a visit. Excellent food.

A wonderful pub situated within a wonderful village. The atmosphere was calm and the staff, welcoming. The courses were neatly and exquisitely prepared for us at just the right sizes for a three course meal - my favourite being the chocolate torte at the end. I look forward to returning soon!

Fantastic service, plus met, two fantastic actors in the pub, brilliant birthday for my self

More of a fine dining experience than pub. The meals and service were excellent. Prices really reasonable. Massively exceeded my expectations.

Brilliant meal. Attentive and friendly staff, wonderful ambiance, magnificent food worthy of a five star restaurant

Amazing homemade, lovingly made food! Cosy and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Went for Sunday Lunch. Interesting menu which regularly changes. Good quantity of food and absolutely amazing flavours. We had the lamb with mint sauce and it was the best mint sauce I have ever tasted. Staff were friendly too. Would recommend and will be back.

Lovely restaurant, great food and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a fine dining location over a pub lunch.

Great place to sit down and eat excellent food! Really enjoyed the atmosphere!

Food was stunning, would 100% recommend to anyone

Really excellent food and not your run of the mill Menu An added bonus is they don't mind well behaved Spaniels

Excellent food great ambience and lovely service.

Lovely lunch today, really nice welcome from the team. Food was great and no problem with being early. Bar staff really helpful, chatty and friendly - he had just left Uni and was a credit to the team.

We mainly found this pub be cause of the ridiculous attitude of the staff at the Three Crowns up the road. I can't review the Three Crowns because I have never stayed or eaten there. For good reason. The most overrated Wetherspoons pub in the...

Great roast dinner at the chagford inn, reasonably priced, great service and atmosphere, all round a great experience, highly recommended.

The staff were very nice and the pub had great character. The food was excellent: portion sizes were focused on flavour and quality. The beer was one of the nicest pints I'd had in Chagford (Otter).

Friendly and attentive staff, one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve had recently! Loved the presentation and the food itself was outstanding! Thank you

We’ve been here a couple of times over several years, first time was great and the second time was really quite bad, so trying to drag my husband in again was quite hard, he really never forgets! But, joy of joys, our meal was delicious,...

The beef was incredible, the red cabbage and cauliflower cheese were mouth watering.Great service, take your friends.

Quickly found this on google, when we arrived we were greeted so pleasantly and friendly. The atmosphere was great everyone obviously knows each other. The food was very flavourful and is the best food we have had from a pub/restaurant in a long time. The...

Fantastic food and service! Delicious Caesar Chicken Burger. Amazing Venison Burger.

Well kept beer, interesting menu with well done takes on standard dishes and good cooking . Venison burger juicy and generous, chicken leek and mushroom pie frvoursome and classy, delicious lemon posset and a fine apricot tart with a local cheese.

We stayed here for 2 nights, was shocked at what we were sleeping on, screws sticking out of the bottom of the bed, no mattress topper, very uncomfortable bed could feel every spring, no pillow case liners which revealed old bobbly pillows, very damp room, not ideal with 2 young children and no breakfast offered, won't be recommending to anyone!

We had this place recommended to us by a family member. Firstly the chairs were extremely uncomfortable but the service was very good. The party ordered steaks while I had the lamb. What was served was dreadful. Those in my party who ordered the steak...

Can’t fault the staff who were attentive at all times. However, we ordered the Cote de Boeuf to share between three of us and were disappointed overall. The plates weren’t hot when they were brought out and we got the veg before the meat. When...

We popped in for dinner last night at the Chagford Inn and were really amazed by the quality of the food. We shared a focaccia to start which was absolutely delicious, with a perfect crumbly salty crust. We then shared the Cote du Boeuf which...

Delightful dining experience after an exhausting bike ride. The beef and cheese sandwich is fantastic.

Amazing food and great service!

Nice pub with good food and lovely staff. Very good beer, and local(ish) prints on the wall at good prices. Would recommend.

Had a great dinner experience here. Despite the place being mostly empty, we enjoyed ourselves very much. The service was excellent, very friendly, motivated and competent. The food may be expensive for the portions you get, but wow, is it fantastic! Everything was fresh and...

Prices are reasonable and food we found quite good, as was the service. Nothing special but friendly and fair.

Had Sunday lunch here with a friend. Had a lovely leisurely meal, good wine. Excellent service. Tables nicely spaced out. Not too busy. I would recommend this pub for a good meal.

Delicious food beautifully presented. A real gem of a place!

I was hiking the Dartmoor Way and stayed here for one night. The room was great and I had a delicious steak. It was huge, I hadn't looked at the weight when ordering. No room for a dessert. Service was excellent. They don't serve breakfasts, something I hasn't noticed when booking but there is a lovely cafe, Folklore Kitchen just opposite which is great.
