Drewe Arms in East Devon

Superb food, setting & service. Would definitely recommend & return. Local ingredients, homemade ice creams, sorbet & shortbread.

We had a fantastic weekend celebrating a birthday with family and friends, enjoying lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend

We booked rather late but glad we did, lunch for 5 that was just delicious, great service, a glorious day in the garden and good company made for a very relaxed afternoon. Despite other reviews, i found the staff very friendly and helpful, definitely worth a trip

We visited this past weekend as a family for Sunday lunch while on holiday in the area, booking late morning on the day, the gentleman who booked us in during the call was both polite and friendly, initial thoughts were that we were very much looking forward to our roast. On arrival, the building and the location are beautiful, very picturesque, the interior very nice also. Approaching the bar the young lady serving was welcoming and friendly, efficiently providing us with menus and seating us at our table. From this point the experience from a service point of view fell way short of what I would expect for such a fine restaurant, I’m unsure of the lady’s name who took our order and served us as she didn’t even initially introduce herself, but she was far from friendly and welcoming which my wife and I were a little taken aback by, borderline rude in her mannerisms, there was also no inclination to engage in any friendly conversation, ultimately being the sole reason for marking down our review score. The food itself was delicious and really well presented, priced fairly for the quality, compliments to the chef, the Shiraz too was lovely. We had asked if it was possible for my wife to also have a Yorkshire pudding with her roast turkey but this didn’t arrive, we were made aware that this could be a possibility so it wasn’t expected. I personally feel this should be an option even if it comes at an additional cost, I’d expect that to be the case and we were happy to pay anything additional, the option wasn’t available. We decided not to stay for dessert. Maybe in hindsight the establishment is a little too formal for bringing along small children?Both our sons,aged 8 & 4, behaved really well and were busy with their activity books we brought along to keep them occupied so there really shouldn’t have been any reason to cause offence, the gentleman sat at the bar were far more rowdy, regulars and locals no doubt. So all in all, the positives are that the food here is excellent, parts of the service was welcoming and friendly, unfortunately our experience was really let down by a staff member who both my wife and I felt was in the wrong role to suit her personality. Kind regards Simon

What a superb pub…. The best meal I’ve had out in a long time! Came here with family and we all had three courses….absolutely delicious. The food came out piping hot and was so tasty. Lovely atmosphere, the pub was full of character and the staff were all friendly. I would highly recommend coming here for food and will definitely be returning! Keep up the hard work The Drewe Arms! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Local inn to us but first visit for our anniversary. Food was excellent and welcome warm. Menu was thoughtful and varied and catered well for a gluten intolerance. We support the businesses stance on sourcing ingredients locally. We had a gf fish and chips with a cider batter which was beautifully crisp, a duck breast served with thyme and onion boulangere and a starter sized up for a main of smoked trout poke bowl. The desserts were also fab, chocolate tart with an orange infused cream and a lime semifreddo. Delicious, well sized, flavour explosions!

The Drewe Arms is, and has been for the last couple of years, my go to pub in Devon. The new owners are about to celebrate three years of owning and running the pub and they deserve to be clearly placed on the map. Broadhembury is a lovely, little, thatched cottage village, just a short drive down a narrow country lane from the road that links Honiton with Cullompton. Although a smidge off the beaten track, its position serves as a fantastic diversion off the M5 for a super lunch. The chef has a bi-monthly changing menu, with a regularly changing specials board too. The menu is well thought out, interesting, tasty and wonderful to look at before you tuck in and demolish your plateful. The various fresh fish dishes are noteworthy and superbly cooked, but do be mindful that all the food is cooked to order, so don't expect conveyor belt levels of speedy service. Go there with plenty of time in hand and you will be rewarded with some of the best prepared, cooked and presented food in the area. This is a pub well worth searching out and giving your support, as they truly deserve to make a success and maintain their place in what is, a very difficult industry at the present moment. They also need the support of Tripadvisor Reviewers to ensure their business is recognised for their hard work, awesome cooking and characterful pub. They are dog friendly and people friendly, so expect a bit of chat, banter and a laugh if you choose to engage the owners and/or staff in a conversation. All in all... a very worthy pub!

Nice local pub, traditional pub with character, nice old furniture and decor. Relatively small selection of draft beers. Nice food and good service.

Best Sunday lunch we have had out in a long time. Lots of gluten free options too. Easily catered for a coeliac. Thankyou,we will definitely return.

Excellent fish and chips, superb batter well cooked flaky fish, home made tartar sauce, delicious and chips cooked to perfection. We followed this by chocolate brownie, homemade ice cream which would win a Michelin star! Rich chocolate sauce. We were not expecting such quality food. Don’t miss out on this delight.

We had the Christmas lunch at the Drewe Arms & I have to say the whole party was impressed. It is good to see that this well known pub is back on the foodie scene. We would definitely recommend, good food, staff and location. The village is quaint whilst a little off the beaten track but well worth the effort to visit. Definitely one to go back to!

We visited the Drewe Arms twice over the weekend, once as a couple and once with friends. On both occasions the food was great and so was the ambience, with a big log-burner welcoming everyone on a very cold December night. The staff and service were also excellent. In addition to the food, the Drewe Arms has its own range of beers & gins. If you are looking for a superb 'original local' in the Honiton area, this is the place to visit. A big 'thanks' to Rob & the team.

Superb food, setting & service. Would definitely recommend & return. Local ingredients, homemade ice creams, sorbet & shortbread.

Excellent food and most helpful and friendly staff. Fishcakes and braised beef were so yummy. If you are in the area, this pub is must

Amazing experience at the Drewe Arms. The team catered for a birthday dinner, food and service were both outstanding and made the evening very memorable. A real gem of a pub. The owner and the team could not have made us feel more welcome. We’ll be going back for sure. Thank you.

Four of us had an excellent meal here. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent in this gem of a pub. It speaks volumes that the restaurant was full and the pub busy on a Tuesday evening. The service was so good that, when I realised that I'd left my phone behind, the manager offered go 'above and beyond' to drop it off at my house which would have been a 30 minute return journey. Totally recommend!

Fabulous Sunday lunch with my family at the Drewe Arms. Warm welcome, super food and excellent service. Always impressed when good food is served on nice hot plates! We will definitely be returning. Well done!

The crew at The Drewe Arms are deserving of their good reviews, starting from when you enter to a friendly welcome, warm fires on cold days and an open approach to dogs. They keep a short, regular, menu with one or two specials and they focus on quality ingredients, attention to detail, interesting food combinations - as well as traditional - whilst trying to remain price competitive in what is a very difficult industry. You can visit their website to view their menus, but i'd happily recommend everything, especially their chips! Watch out if you're driving their from Cullompton and using GPS, as it'll try to take you down a nadgery Devon lane. Keep going to the marked crossroads and turn there. In fact, just writing this review has got me thinking... "I need to book again!".

An amazing pub and restaurant. The food was amazing as was the customer service. We were a party of 10 people and it was wonderful to have such a friendly welcome.

In addition to looking very picturesque everything about here was excellent! Friendly , efficient and welcoming staff made the experience of dining here so very pleasant. Sunday lunch was beautifully presented and tasted lovely. We also tried the dinner menu later in our holiday and the food choice and quality were amazing. Thank you for making us four adults and two young children so very welcome.

A very warm welcoming pub, service plus! Excellent Pie & Pint deal on a monday £12! So good we came back for lunch, friendly family run pub, even the dog a snack.

Book early to avoid disappointment if you want to eat at this fabulous pub. Fantastic menu. I had the grilled Halloumi & Quinoa Salad £15. A warm salad of roasted vegetables, quinoa scented with lemon & mixed leaves with a spiced herb dressing & toasted almonds. Delicious, but could have been improved by having more dressing. Generous portions. Highly recommended

Lovely friendly pub with good food. I asked for a main course portion of a starter but was brought a starter size so accepted it. It was very tasty. My friends had steak and said it was excellent. Good wine offers and selection Only negative thing was children scooting across the old wooden floorboards on trainers with wheels. We did mention it to our server but it continued until we asked the child directly to stop!! A busy bar with trays of hot food coming out of the kitchen and with adults out for a nice dinner - even up to 10pm - is not an appropriate place for scooting kids in my opinion. Otherwise it was a pleasant dining experience!!

The menu really one-off items super smoked brisket flavored with apple and horseradish mayonnaise to name one, never seen before tried it was SUPERB. Fantastic would have given 5 stars if it had been up to the same standard the next night but a too...

Firstly I really have no idea why more pubs can't have the same outlook as this pub, I feel they would gather and attract more revenue if they were dog friendly pubs, rarely do our four legged friends cause bother in a pub, children can...

Met friends at the relaxed bar then enjoyed lovely lunch. We shared a bread and olive appetiser. Excellent bread, oil and olives. We chose a traditional beef roast which was truly top class, tender beef, tasty potatoes, a superb Yorkshire pud and plenty of gravy....

Very welcoming, comfortable, good choice on the menu. We had a starter to share but the main course was a while. All very tasty except the monkfish thai curry, the fish was excellent just lacking in flavour. The couple on the table next to us...

We were at a private festival staying at the forest glade campsite and decided to go out for lunch on Saturday afternoon. It seemed very quiet on arrival but within 20 minutes began to be very busy. We sat in the garden and admired the...

Pre booked for Saturday night - worth booking. Many people, but didn’t feel crammed - plenty of space. Excellent food. Good sized portions. Freshly cooked, and local sourcing. Good range of options on menu - shame we couldn’t get as far as desert! Very attentive...

Went here with family and friends on 16/6/22 it is such a lovely little pub, Claire and all the staff were very friendly and polite, couldn’t do enough to for us 😁 Thank you x

Our third visit here and stage food is consistently great. Well cooked and imaginative menu the service was very good. The Hake was so fresh and tasty and Steak & Kidney Pie so easy with loads of gravy and a very smooth mash A great...

We had a very enjoyable lunch at the Drewe Arms. The pub itself has lots of charm and character and the staff were great. We both had roasts which were very tasty. Only improvement would be the meat cut slightly thicker and some more interesting...

Been a few times and they have great staff and are very accommodating. Enjoyed our roast dinner in the garden enormously.

After popping in for a couple of late drinks on Sunday I decided to return and eat the next day (based on recent Tripadvisor reviews). One of the best pub meals I've had. Friendly and welcoming staff and a really interesting old pub. The Otter...

Ì came with a friend to the Drewe Arms for lunch last week. The food was excellent had Duck my friend had the fish. My coffee was excellent and the atmosphere too. Also I loved the warmth of the fire. The landlord was welcoming. Memories...

Great to see a busy village inn full of freindly locals on a Friday early doors. As its close to the M5, we stopped on our way to North Devon. Happy staff, great food, fire lit my favourite otter beer, what could be better!

We have just had our first meal at the Drewe Arms, it was wonderful. Every course was mouth wateringly amazing. My husband had the fish crumble followed by the sea trout, I had the salmon starter followed by steak. All was cooked to perfection, served...

My wife took me to the Drewe Arms for a date night. Just the two of us. Landlord was wonderfully welcoming and hospitable, even when I started lecturing him about pub history. Forunately, this pub is one of the very few dating from around 1500...

Service was diabolically slow. Game pie pastry was almost solid and the contents over-cooked by far. Game pie was more steak pie. Fish and chips very tasty. Ice cream served as a disjointed blob. 4 out of 10.

For obvious pandemic reasons we haven't been to the Drewe Arms for some while but were looking forward to it as it used to be a really good pub for food. We went for Sunday lunch this weekend (Jan 2021). There were only two of...

Visited here with my partner and his parents and there aren’t enough words to express how happy we are with our visit. This beautiful, unique pub offered a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from. The staff were equally as welcoming, friendly and...

We have been going to the Drewe Arms for over 20 years. The new owners have really transformed the pub. The chef presented delicious food, tasty, well presented. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Thank you. We will be back and tell our friends that The...

This is my idea of a perfect local, wonderful setting in the chocolate box village of Broadhembury, stunning food topped with perfectly friendly service, what more could you wish for …..oh and it’s dog friendly too, our two labs were treated to biscuits whilst we...

What a wonderful place. Food was brilliant. We had the lamb shank, pheasant and fish and chips. All was exceptional. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We took our cats and the staff were really obliging. We will definitely return. Unfortunately we live in Bristol...

A nice old building... beer excellent. Food pretty good too. Service excellent. Under new management, so will keep a check via tripadvisor as to how they're doing in a years time..... The village of Broadhembury I thought was a bit weird with it's high street...

Great Sunday lunch with family. Staff were very friendly, accommodating and attentive. Sunday roast was excellent, vegetables cooked to perfection. Desserts very yummy. Lovely atmosphere.

Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone, beautiful food and staff! Doesn’t get much better than this, what a great chef and selection of staff, so polite and helpful! So happy with my evening here, will definitely be returning! X

We were delighted to hear that this once much loved by us pub was under new ownership and so a group of friends and I decided to check it out. It didn't start well, we ordered 6 gin and tonics, he quickly and the owner?...

Our local pub, The Drewe Arms, had lost its way in recent months so we were delighted to learn that new owners had taken on such a great opportunity. The Drewe Arms is a lovely pub set in a stunningly beautiful thatched Devon village. The...

Great food in a rustic, cosy pub! Definitely worth a visit! The menu was great considering the remote village location- from duck leg to steak and traditional fish and chips, everything looked and tasted wonderful!

We came for dinner last week after seeing the pub had changed ownership and they had a new chef. First impressions weren't great as we didn't find the staff particularly friendly (the young barman was a bit blunt, saying that gluten free beers weren't selling...

We had a decent meal and the pub is very attractive, particularly the beer garden. The food was pretty good, though small portions for the prices. I think the thing that stood out for us was the lack of warmth from the staff. They did...

From start to finish the food was amazing, every mouthful better than the one before - will be making a regular visit here - highly recommend- beautiful and quiet in the garden for a drink after the most amazing meal

My husband and I were staying at a local campsite and booked a table here. What a find! Amazing food, amazing customer service … would definitely recommend!!

What a breath of fresh air!!! walking into a beautiful local pub, so friendly, relaxed and accommodating. The second we walked in we were greeted with a fabulous team who you could tell are so proud of the place and products they have to offer. Food was simple, fresh and tasted delicious. The actual pub has so much personality with a stunning "chocolate box" picturesque village. My sister and I had the lemon sole, so light with capers and spinach matched with great Italian white. My brother in law had the burger (wow!!) with local beers. This is a must visit!!!!!

Perfect location for relaxing meal out in a picturesque village - great food (best burger ever!) well priced and served by wonderful staff. Sat in garden which was peaceful and spotless. Def recommend

We booked to go to this pub soon after the April relaxing of restrictions. They were managing really well with all the new rules they had to abide by. The service was organised but relaxed and the food delicious (especially the burger!) and the beer very good too with good choice of real ales. It's so good to see a business working hard to make things happen.A great pub.

We met 4 friends for lunch and everyone was pleased with their food. 3 chose the the Caesar Salad which was made with lots of ingredients, not just loads of lettuce. 3 chose the very filling Ciabatta’s that came with a fresh salad and potato salad. Beers with in fine fettle as well. Beware of the potholes in the lane off the Cullompton to Honiton road!

Had a big family meal, first in ages. Great food and friendly albeit with all the usual covid problems.

Generally poor standard of service and food. Over priced. Limited menu . Roast beef was tough. Vegetables unappetising.

Great pub restaurant in stunning village - has a meal here in first week after opening - good quality food and all staff made a real effort to make everything work. Well done to all the team and I recommend this place to anyone in the area

Mmmm ... best meal I’ve had in a long time ... absolutely deliciousl !!! If you get a fri /sat night free, try , I highly recommend ...

Fish and chips were a strange craving during first lockdown but the Drewe Arms offered our first safe outside dining. The fish and chips were excellent with light, crisp batter and perfectly cooked fish. Veggie burger at a later visit was also excellent. We have kept visiting and recently had a meal outside in the sun. The service was efficient and friendly. We are still a bit reluctant to eat inside but will explore the possibility. I do not find the precautions they take in anyway over the top. In fact as one of the older more at risk brigade I really appreciate them. We are returning, yet again, with our daughter and granddaughters next week. Hope they enjoy it as much as we do.

Turned up having booked at table earlier that afternoon, was told all dining was outside, but told ‘don’t worry we have tents’. Thought this would be interesting but based in the TA reviews felt it was worth a punt. Turned up, unlabelled sanitiser on a table by the roadside, used our own. Stood in the yard, asked a random person whether we could come in, kitchen staff person spoke to us through the window and said we needed to enter through the top garden.So through the archway we trooped, back onto the road, and headed into the garden. There was a sign over a window saying bar, gave the name and a waitress then proceeded to take us around the back of the pub back to where we had just been standing t then be shown into the pub (via the archway) to discover we were eating indoors, which was a relief.Dining room had 4 tables in it, well spaced out. 3 were for dining and the 4th nearest the entrance was we later deduced the food and drink collection point from whence you had to pick up your food and drink. I get that everyone’s interpretation of the required protocols is different but this was like being in a west end farce.Food was tasty, but with so few tables, it’s bizarre procedures not permitting drinkers inside, I fear it is in for a difficult winter second wave or no second wave lockdown. That said, worth a visit but go with a smile in your face prepared for a level of oddness, but hey we’re in crazy times.

The roads to the restaurants challenging ( narow and poor state) not for a nervous driver The owner was extremely conscious of virus protection rules. I had excellent food but i would preferred not to see the chief smoking in the garden.

We are forever searching for restaurants, bars, cafes that serve high quality, home cooked food. I must say, it's SO difficult to find one that adequately fits this description (despite most promising this).Well we found theses qualities in abundance at the Drewe. Great service, Great welcome and Great food, Beautiful setting. In these times of COVID-safe requirements, you could not fault the management and staff. Everything had been thought of, so very reassuring.We went on a 'scoping mission' initially, WoW.... We couldn't have been more pleased. Home cooked food, great prices and amazing service. The chef really does know about great food. Also, as my wife is a vegetarian, she was thrilled to see such a great selection.Personal recommendation ,- I had the most amazing burger, which was the 'star of the show'... Very Very good quality and hugely tasty, possibly the best I've had, ever. The food and service ticked all the boxes. It was so good we went back on the last night of our week's holiday. A meal that we traditionally reserve for the BEST NIGHT OUT. Second time around did not disappoint!Thank you to all at the Drewe....‍‍

We've been in several times during our fortnight holiday in Devon for a quick..and excellent beer, but tonight we took the familly for Dinner to finish the holiday in style. The village is gorgeous, Devon cream and thatched cottages...the pub, making the best of the covid crisis, excellent. We chose from a cut down menu which provided super home cooked food. Really tasty washed down with top beers and cider. Although a dull night weather wise, we were cosy in the marquee. Full covid rules applied and followed...and not silly prices. A lovely end to a lovely holiday. One to visit if your in the area.

Had the minted lamb burger, perfectly cooked, delicious. Compliments to the chef Charlie, who was single handedly running the entire kitchen.

The Drewe Arms have gone to great lengths to make sure that they follow all the government guidelines on COVID -19 even if the locals had to pint out some of the obvious markings of the one way system to me. Great staff and good food. It was our first visit to a pub and a meal out since lockdown and the pub could not have done more. Not all of the customers took notice of the great steps the pub were trying to promote but you get the feeling they would be just the same whatever the circumstances. Great pub well worth supporting.

Dinner on Tuesday night was delightful despite the nip in the July air. Always a very warm welcome, with good wine, great beer on tap, (even in the new bar outside). The menu is a little more limited due to current restrictions, but well thought out and very tasty, proper filling pub grub. Everything has been thought of to keep us safe and well looked after, and loving the new ‘secret garden’. Thanks Kate, great job. See you again soon.

The Drewe Arms team have thought of everything to keep customers safe and still able to have an excellent pub lunch in the garden! We'll be going again very soon!

A recent visit to this public house situated in an idyllic village in East Devon was without a question of doubt well worth the journey.Sunday lunch was on the menu and the purpose of our visit looking forward to sampling a roast beef dinner.We were not disappointed the quality presentation and choice of vegetables achieved a five star rating .It was given a four star rating purpose being it was felt that the portion of beef fell short of expectations.Friendliness service and surrounding decor met with full approval of the party.Shall we be back yes living well up to its 4.5 star rating.

What a find, slightly off the beaten track, but well signposted, Oh my life this is such a delightful pub, warm and welcoming and superb food. We arrived on a wet November day, but the huge wood Burner and friendly bar staff brought a warm glow to our cheeks. Vegtarians catered for with exciting and different dishes, made a welcome change from the normal vegetarian choices one normally gets. The pub is delightfully quaint and steeped in history. old photos of times past adorn the walls and tasteful christmas decorations add that festive feel without it being 'fest overload'! We will be back next time we are in the area.

Freinds organised my birthday here and we had a great night. It is very quirky with the old parts of the pub having low ceilings etc but that added to the charm. We had a whole room to ourselves and the food was great.

After being in the Caribbean a much needed quality Roast was on the cards.The Drewe Arms did not disappoint. There was a large group of us about 10 adults and 5 kids, most of us went for roasts of one form or another. The service was quick and friendly and the food came after about 10 minutes. I had roast pork which was Devine, the potatoes veg and yorkie was amazing, my only gripe was no crackling. Chocolate brownie was also very good. All in all great food service and setting.

After a long walk we stopped for an early evening meal and were pleased with what we had despite there only being a limited menu before 6pm. We had the house burger and a chicken burger and both enjoyed our meal thoroughly

Popped in as the Post Office tearoom was shut and felt we had lucked out. Warm welcome, prompt service and a beautiful garden to enjoy the random selection of our order: tea and a brownie (wickedly chocolatey and quite delicious), a pint and crisps, ice cream and pop for the kids.

Steeped in history in a totally thatched village, this pub has bags of unfussy charm. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We had a lovely relaxed meal, chose from a great wine-list and enjoyed the friendly ambience. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was on holiday last week and just saw you served meals. Found menu really good so had 3 evening meals and enjoyed them all. Really enjoyed the Swedish hash very filling. Would imagine very cosy in winter. Thank you

Truly a great pub, very friendly on entering and we had booked a table for our farewell meal with good friends. We all had fish & chips and it was excellent. Freshly prepared and of course with all the trimmings. Local beers and Ciders on tap and they certainly knew their stuff. We would certainly recommend and also go back. As we left it was heaving with a great atmosphere.

Our lovely local has just started serving brunch 10am-12pm. Had an awesome veggie breakfast and avocado poached egg on toast. Excellent hot sauce! Great coffee. Can’t beat it in an area starved of good breakfast spots!

We visited for lunch with family on a very hot July afternoon and we were pleased to eat in the cool restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly and our food was enjoyable.

My family and I have loved this 'quintessential' and 'olde worlde' English inn for about 35 years. It is one of the establishments on my '5 pubs to drink in on my last night on this earth' list. 16 years ago we celebrated a 'landmark' birthday party for my wife there. It has changed hands 3 times in that period, and was closed altogether for about 2 years, some 11 years ago. We hadn't visited for about 3 years until today, when we found ourselves driving north on the M5 from Exeter, with time on our hands. "Broadhembury?", I asked my wife. "Definitely!", she replied. It was a "Eureka!" moment. We didn't spend a great deal of money (£21 total, to be precise), but we enjoyed two 'A+++' pints of beautifully-kept Otter Ale and two amazing (and very filling) 'starters'. We sat in the garden, which in our opinion is one of the friendliest and most beautiful pub gardens in England. This was a Monday, and, as we all know, Monday can be an 'off' day. But not at Broadhembury! I asked the friendly landlord if he could move the pub (and village) just a little bit nearer to the motorway and he replied that this would spoil the pub's 'Far from the madding crowd' charm. I couldn't agree with him more. This amazing pub is about 6 miles from the M5 and you need to make a bit of an effort to make the detour. Make it! - and you will surely return again and again - as I have done, and willl continue to do, now that I have rediscovered it.

Lovely meal at the Drewe Arms this evening to celebrate my Husband and Sons birthdays. My husband enjoyed his steak "the best tasting steak for a long time" perfect......thank you x

Had lunch here with my partner and two dogs while on holiday nearby. Service was really good, prompt and friendly. The food was delicious and didn't have to wait long. Our dogs were made to feel very welcome (provided with a water bowls and a biscuit each!). The landlady was very professional, polite and chatty. Will definitely be back when next in the area.

As a group of 9 friends and family, we had an evening meal here on the day before the wedding that we had assembled to attend. The table was pre booked and was arranged in a beautifully decorated room. The menu offered a range of alternatives and the food was tasty, well cooked, hot(except for the salads!!) and attractively presented. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive without being obtrusive.

This is a proper local pub but serving unusually good food. The beer was perfectly kept.

Beers good roasts delicious staff friendly and chatty. Stead trade plenty of space and time. Going to walk back to the CL at Beer Farm now.

Ideal village pub to have a quiet drink in , after a walk in the beautiful nearby countryside. The live music provided at the time we were there would have been fine as a background to conversation with my friends but it was MUCH LOUDER and competed with conversation with them. We might of eat there, if it was not for the music,

A great Sunday lunch with friends. Excellent service and food in a lovely location. Service was fast, courteous and knowledgeable. Will definitely visit again.

met up with my brother who was returning home from holiday.lovely pub,log fire,2 very nice friendly lads behind the bar.ordered 4 sandwiches,2 fish goujons and 2 chicken caeser.all 4 came.dry bread!! very little filling and bread just came apart when picked up.worst sanwiches we have ever been served.the chef shoud not have sent them out.the lads behind the bar were very apologetic and only charged for 2 but really should not have charged for any.the 2 desserts were very nice.how on earth can you get a sandwich wrong,and certainly not at 8.50 a go.look forward to your response.the 2 lads behind the bar were faultless though.

Came hear today for lunch with my wife, beautiful country pub in beautiful surroundings.

Second visit to the Drewe Arms. Wife and I did a walk in the autumn here,visited this pub then and had a great lunch.

This has to be my favourite restaurant near me. We were greeted with genuine warmth made you feel welcomed Food once again was superb. Generous portions beautifully presented and well cooked Cannot fault the service Look forward to our next lunch there Thank you

We called here enroute from a fabulous weekend away. What a great place, great service and fantastic food. It was Sunday, so we chose to dine on the rib of Beef, it was absolute heaven on a plate! I don't want to rave to much about this hostelry, because I don't want all and sundry visiting ;-)

What a wonderful place this is, it's like stepping back in time. Some of the furniture in this place is hundreds of years old, what character! The landlord was really friendly as was the lovely barmaid. We stayed in a room for 2 nights and it had everything we needed (and when we ran out of tea/sugar it was provided immediately). Breakfast was fantastic, portion size was huge!! I loved this place and would definitely stay again.

We visited Broadhembury for a month's holiday and we fell in love with the village and the pub, amazing food, great beer and fantastic locals.The family who owned the Drewe arms made us feel extremely welcome, very clean and homely. We are going back to Broadhembury next April and will definitely be going back. Thank you for making our holiday so amazing. Love Danielle and Simon x

Moved tables to fit us in. My husband is a coeliac and the waitress was so helpful, sitting down with him and going through the menu. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Tried to go back on another evening but they were fully booked.

Upon arrival we were met with a great welcome, made to feel truly valued, after some great banter at the bar we were shown to our table, the menu has taste for everyone, with 3 great bar favourites not on menu but available all the time, fish n chips, pie, burger,

Wonderful welcome and the serving staff are superb and attentive but the real star is the chef who produces delicious and unusual food all from scratch....even the ice cream. Could not fault the food including the complimentary 'amuse bouchée' , even the olives with the bread tasted extra special. We tried dishes from the menu but there is always, fish and chips, burger and pie, however we recommend choosing from the main menu which is superb. This pub needs to win prizes not only for its food but its staff in general
