Highweek Village Inn in Teignbridge

Weekly dog walk ended up at highweek pub very friendly staff dog friendly excellent homemade food Can’t wait to return soon

Good Pub grub Wednesday is Quiz night in bar but the restaurant area is used for meals plenty of room Good selection of beers Toilets clean

Had belly pork roast, expecting a nice crispy belly pork but no 😕 soft and covered in gravy, veg tasteless and mushy, needed a lot of salt and pepper, very disappointed as starving, took belly pork home for the dog 😕

Great village pub, large car park, outside tables and lovely cosy pub. Bonus of being really dog friendly. Food at lunch time was gorgeous, specials board and full menu, chose the cottage pie with a bubble and squeak topping served with roast potatoes and three veg. Generous portions and yummy. Homemade cakes and coffee available as well as all the normal selection of alcohol.

It is great to see the Highweek still survives in an age of so many pubs shutting up shop. Came here for maybe the last time, for old-times sake, after losing our final link to Highweek. First had a drink here before my wedding 25 years ago, and many more in between. The menu was a bit limited - Gammon, egg and chips, scampi and Chips, and from the left field, Liver, bacon and mash. We went off-menu and added cheesy chips to that. All were perfectly passable (although we swerved the liver and bacon, as no-one really eats that anyway). The open fire was very cosy, but make sure the landlady doesn't see you give it a poke if you want to avoid a stern rebuke. Decent beer - Jail Ale - and a good selection of keg beers. Hope it's still there in another 25 years.

A cold Monday evening, lovely wood fire burning. Pleased there was decaf coffee. Ordered x2 ham egg & chips, food was under £20. The photo is of my dinner but partner gave me his egg, hence 3 in the picture. I think because of the ham we were given cold plates, so everything got cold quickly, so next time I’ll request hot plates. Friends had scampi & chips & had hot plates. Nice pub, good parking & toilets are very clean-lots to like.

This evening we had a demonstration on how to use a defibrillator. Thank you to all that made this happen. The highweek is a great village pub, everyone welcome, children and dogs. The food is great and the staff are always amazing. Highly recommended

Arrived to be told that they only do Sunday lunches on a Sunday checked there Web site and could not find that that is all they do .was looking forward to a pie or a steak. So was disappointed. But ordered a beef dinner and a chicken dinner .the meals arrived very small servings. Chicken was a chicken beast sorry but no. It should of been sliced chicken .. Frozen Yorkshire puddings and peas as far as I'm concerned peas are not a vegetable for a Sunday dinner that's a cope out also asked for mustard and horseradish which arrived to be given a tiny spoonful of mustard all they could find..for Over £9 .was not value for money staff very what ever .

Came today with a friend for a couple of drinks after work. Decided to eat, I had the lamb chops on the specials board followed by the Lemon Posset. Both were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back, what a gem.

We had a truly excellent family pre Christmas lunch today, at the Highweek, for 25 people. From the start of organising this gathering to sitting down to a piping hot lunch, all was easy and enjoyable. Thank you very much to Hannah, Polly and the Highweek Team.

We visited as a group of friends staying a a local caravan park. We visited the Highwick Village Inn four times jn a week as we were made so welcome and had good home cooked food. A lovely atmosphere and the staff and locals made us feel welcome. Thanks Polly 😊

Used to visit here frequently...returned recently to find it had been completely updated and had a refurb. Place is welcoming, clean and much improved. Covid rulings being adhered to as well. My partner and I 1st visited a couple of weeks ago and tonight. Our meals on both occasions were excellent. Service great too. If you love real ales then you'll find a few here too! Definitely recommend The Highweek Village Inn if you are in the area.

Just had the greek themed takeaway, excellent really tasty. good value nice selection of dips, lots of pitta bread. lovely mains. Generous portion sizes.

what a lovely place we have just returned after spending time away on business we had dinner at the village inn we found the staff very pleasant and friendly the food was amazing we are very happy to be moving to this part of the country very soon just fantastic xx Andy & Jude

Prolly - what a wonderful job you’ve done over lockdown - new garden , new bar, new toilets. And your staff are wonderful and so friendly - we and the dog Archie have just had a lovely evening with you - thank you

A 1950's style building, very tired inside. Don't expect a cosy English pub. Food is not very special, just stick to the chips.

Met up with a pal for a pint and something to eat, been before and had a good value freshly cooked meal so decided Highweek Inn again. Great decision, good selection of beers. Food-wise I had liver and onions and my friend had a massive Scampi and chips, both specials at £7.50 each. Will be back. Only downside scruffy car park.

Great choice of ales, decent food and a log fire? What more do you need? We have had a few Sunday roasts here now, always amazing value for money and a good choice of meats (beef was particularly tender). Seem well connected with the local community and do plenty for charity too. Highly recommended!

This is a bit of a quirky pub but well worth a vist good selection of beers and excellent pub grub. Nothing pretentious.

We arrived at lunchtime, having not booked , with 2 dogs & 2 small kiddies & we were able to sit outside with the family all together to enjoy a choice of Sunday roast meals & drinks all served within an hour at excellent value with good service & hospitality - even provided drinking water for our dogs - Thank you ✅

We met some friends here for lunch and the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. We both have dogs, and although they are not allowed in the restaurant, the staff set us up a table in the main bar for Sunday lunch which was plentiful and delicious. Choices of beef, chicken, lamb or belly pork with all the trimmings. Great beer and a roaring fire to go with it. Great value and a lovely way to spend a Sunday. Will be back

Horrible place to eat horrible frozen food the carpet says it all not at all nice not one good thing to say which is strange as there’s normally at least a few positive things to say

Perfect local pub...no frills and perhaps a bit dated, not many in for a Sunday lunchtime but pretty much does what it says on the tin ...local pub for a pint. Let's hope it can hold on as less and less head to the pub

We went to the Highweek Inn on Sunday 12th November after a friend recommended it.I found it as a no frills roast in a no frills pub I'm afraid to say I was not impressed and I would not go again.

I have visited this pub a few times this year and never been let down, the staff are friendly and attentive. The chef is great ( she is also the landlady ) great value for money. Fab portions and a proper English pub.

A group of us out walking called in for a pint and something to eat. Good selection of beers and a basic menu. Plenty of food freshly cooked at a reasonable price. Scruffy car park lets it down.

Have been visiting the pub for a number of years now , always guaranteed a very nice meal at a very reasonable price & plenty of it ,

Living local to the pub it's nice to have a local u can walk to and stumble home!lived in Newton all our lives and only this year we visited and been back quite lot food has always been good and generous portions service is great and the friendly feel is nice to!it may not be over modern but it's the food beer and service that matters! Most importantly for me they have. Even a Changing Matt in the lady's for our baby to use you would be surprised the amount of pubs/Modern places don't cater for parents!! Never judge a book by its front cover!

Yo vivo en Newcastle, pero fuimos a Devon con mi madre la semana pasada para visitar niños, nietos y greatgrandchildren.

Had a birthday meal here and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food is very good with good sized portions and the steak pie is the best I have ever tasted! Great family pub!

Took the family for a roast today. A well run, friendly local pub. The food was fantastic, good in quality, hot homely food. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Good quantities, home cooked cuisine. Visit if you can.

The Highweek Village Inn is warm welcoming and can have a great atmosphere. With varying themed evenings, quizzes, charity events, beer and ciders festivals and local music, what more could you ask for? Food perhaps? The food here couldn't be better. With daily specials and lots of home made meals made on site it is definitely great for a good old knees up and some tasty pub grub!

In Devon last week, visiting relatives. The Highweeks Village Inn was handy for a quick beer. Never judge a book by it's cover, I've been taught. Externally it looks a bit tired, but once inside, a great welcome from both the Landlord and the locals. A Scot in Devon is good for some banter!! Nice people, will go back.

We visited the Village Inn earlier today for a lunch time meal and was very pleased that we did. Two of us had the Cottage Pie which came with chips and a bowl of vegetables, peas, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. The other meal was the quiche which was also substantial. Altogether a very enjoyable experience and would recommend to anyone in the area fancying a meal. Couldn't be faulted, oh and price, very reasonable.

lovely family local pub, great hearty food especially home made pie. Dogs welcome and especially child friendly

Had first visit today and was very surprised a typical local, friendly, landlady and staff well impressed food was a good portion and hot would recommend.

We had booked being a Saturday night but we were the only people in the restaurant. Menus were being reprinted so we had to chose from the blackboard in the bar. There was no choice of starters as they had run out of pate and only had a prawn cocktail to offer. We declined. However I would say that apart from the vegetables, they definitely put them on to cook last month, my fish was excellent. I didn't want fried fish and that was the only fish on the menu however I when I asked I was told that as the fish was fresh I could have it cooked anyway I wanted. I had it steamed with mashed potato. It was delicious. My friend had ham eggs and chips and there was so much ham, she really enjoyed it. The staff were very nice and friendly and if you just want to pop in for a meal - apart from the over cooked veg - the rest was lovely. We passed on dessert. Very reasonably priced.

Not very good impression from the outside or the inside for that matter but you will not get a better welcome or a better Sunday Roast for the price. Steak is outstanding as is the fish and chips.Good views from the little patio area. Events through out the year. A wide range of real ales. Roaring fire in the winter.

Good basic fare & very friendly welcome - real Devonian location & good Teignworthy ales. Worth the detour from the main Newton Abbot

Good value and fantastic steak. Always good standard. All the locals are friendly including the dogs. We always make this one of our regular visits when we are down in our caravan. Don't go if you want bistro~modern decor. It is comfortably decorated.

This pub has become my local despite being the other side of town. Always made to feel welcome whether Im on my own or with friends. The landlady is lovely and cooks a mean steak amongst other lush foods.Prices are amazing and the general quality fab, which is why we eat there regularly. If you want a pub away from the town, serving good home cooked food, a smile, good range of drinks and a large car park then this is the place to come.

Have heard lots of good reviews by people living in the village. Decided to give it ago today. Wasn't disappointed. We all had roast beef, it was melt in your mouth. The veg cooked just right. Plates very hot. A absolute must for a roast. The gravy delicious. We will deffinatley come back for another roast. Will recommend it to others looking for a good wholesome Sunday dinner.

I have read some of the other reviews and note that Cornwall Ozzie, a local, seems to have taken a very personal view of any criticism. Maybe this is because he/she is unable to be impartial.This is an impartial view by someone who was tempted by the Village Inn sign and drove off the main road hoping for a traditonal village inn. Unfortunately this could not be further from the mark. It felt like a Scout Hut. It was uncomfortable and very ugly. Although the staff were welcoming, the place was the least welcoming I have been in. The carpet as you walk in should serve as a warning. The tables are lined up along the wall and covered in a tablecloth. There is a leatherette sofa torn and worn. There is a corner designated Prats' corner at the bar. It does not look clean. We therefore decided to steer clear of any food.This place deserves an award for the most comically tasteless place in Devon. The locals there must not want to go home for some reason, but I would rather stand in the street and talk to people than sit in here.Avoid at all costs if you want a traditonal Devon Inn.One of the reasons we tried it was to avoid a traffic jam going into Newton Abbot, but I would rather have sat in the traffic in the heat.

Our local pub which you can always get a very reasonable meal at, but this was the first time we tried Sunday Lunch there and I wondered afterwards why we hadn't before. A huge plate of roast for £5.95 (or a smaller plate for £4.95) with a choice of 3 meats (beef, pork or lamb). It came out almost immediately and we were asked several times how our meal was. It was really busy with all the inside tables taken but as it was a nice day we sat outside. Absolutely superb

I had to write this as I feel that "devondumpling" is totally out of order. The landlady you are being so critical off is the host of our local pub and I feel very aggrieved about the libelous personal comments you have made about the aforementioned lady. Yes the pub is dated but you cannot fault the warm welcome and the wonderful home cooking you get at the Highweek. How many pubs do you know that give you free snacks at half time during rugby matches? And I'm not talking chips here!! Sorry "devondumpling" you have over stepped the mark here and become very personal. Your critique is not worthy of trip advisor.

Well on first entering I was a little dubious as the pub itself is a very tired 1960,s build which lacks any interior design or character. However not being one to be put off by exteriors or decor decided to go for the Sunday roast. Well I was not disappointed! Five stars for the service and the food. The proprietor and cook even came out personally to check we were happy with our meal. Beautifully cooked roast beef cut in thick slices and very tasty in home made gravy, crispy and delicious roast potatoes, and a server of steaming hot veg all very tasty and colourful. They serve from 12-4pm every Sunday and for £5.95 for adults beats any local carvery I know and taste wise beats them all hands down. I think kids were £3.95 so you can feed the family of four for less than £20 and drinks were reasonable too. A good choice of desserts were offered chocolate fudge cake, banoffee tart, sticky toffee pudding, ice creams etc which I declined as too full up from the large meal! The only criticisms I have are with the tired dining room which could be made lovely but if it means putting the prices up then please stay the same! Hopefully more locals will start to go so more money can be spent on it in the future so the pub can match up to the great food and service. All in all a great meal after a Sunday walk, well done.

Came for a steak asked for medium to rare came out perfect meal was absolutly amazing and tasty defintley eat here again. Thanks to the chef and the staff ..five stars

What amazing value the Sunday roast is and with plenty of meat, lovely roast potatoes and six vegetables there were no complaints from us. But the place itself is tired and the room at the back where we ate is definitely nothing special. Music blasted from the bar too which wasn't great. But we will return!

I've been here a few times in the last year and always find it to be very good food and so worth a stop in when passing. Look forward to trying their Sunday roast next time.

We have Sunday lunch here regularly... and occasional evening meals - and hope to do so for evermore. We've tried most of the the pubs and eating places locally for Sunday lunch and then discovered the Highweek and look forward to coming most weeks now. Can't be beaten. Lovely grub (with table cloths and folded linen napkins to make us feel a bit special :-) .... delicious, generous dinner with a choice of three meats usually and nice big, delicious, home-made, afters ....served by lovely polite and helpful staff. Polly, the guv'nor, is always keen to please and it's always a pleasure to be served by the bar staff too. Always a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere with no pressure. You can eat in the pub/bar (with a real open fire) or in the separate and spacious dining section (which has enough space for a big party). Hope it doesn't change. I want to come here when I'm 80!

We've visited the Highweek many times and know Polly the landlady very well, and I have to say that out of all the places we eat out, this is by far the best value home cooked food around. Great beer and a personal touch to service make you feel very welcome. Sunday roast is the one to go for, especially when the fires going in Winter as well. Well done all at the Highweek

We had a lovely roast here, the food was very good value £5.95 but a Very basic "menu" 3 roasts or fish pie so avoid if you're fussy. Not sure if they do a full menu during the week. The food was well cooked and came out quickly. A 10 year old boy pulling his dads chair away as he sat down was hilarious and highlighted the family spirit in this pub. Fairly Reasonable price of £3.10 for a Thatchers Cider. As this is the closest pub to me I could be visiting more often now I have tried it. Highly Recommend.

At short notice yesterday, our family who are staying in a local house decided to eat out that evening. As there were 21 of us between the ages of 4 & 70 years old, we needed somewhere who could host us. We approached the Highweek Village Inn and the very lovely and welcoming Polly made the whole event so special for us. We were given menus to take away & rang our sizeable order through in advance. Polly booked out the whole restaurant area for us with a beautifully laid table. The food was superb & plentiful. Each dish was cooked fantastically & was extremely tasty. Every member of staff was welcoming & friendly and every member of our group was catered for, even Millie the dog who was given water & the steak scraps!!A perfect evening in a perfect atmosphere.Highly recommended -thank you so much Polly & staff.

Fantastic food, friendly staff. My only complaint - I couldn't eat it all there was so much! Fantastic value, where else can you get Sunday lunch for just over a fiver each?

Had Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Staff really friendly, Sunday Roast really good with very large portions. Our two children really liked it too and ate everything. Food for 4 with several drinks was less than £40- excellent value

Good traditional local pub serving excellant food , Polly the landlady does an amazing steak ! The all day breakfast is massive, Excellant value for money, took our daughter there who said it was one of the best steaks she'd had !! The locals are all friendly, posh its not but welcoming it is.

The Highweek is a typical Devon local catering for a wide cross section of people. Polly, the landlady makes everyone welcome and her home cooking is second to none. No fancy cordon bleu or nouvelle cuisine, just good value for money home cooked food. Lets have more local pubs like this one. Well done Polly.

The staff are friendly and will do anything for you. Very 'local' pub. Food is fantastic, very reasonable and huge portions.
