Hunters Inn in North Devon

I can honestly say that this place serves the best carvery in North Devon. I would highly recommend a visit, but would advise pre-booking to avoid disappointment as they are extremely busy.

Had a table for eight people celebrating my birthday. We had a wonderful meal plus nice wine and of course beautiful puddings. Thank you and we will be back

Great meal and service will return.

We spent a couple of nights in their comfortable accommodation. The rooms are well equipped, very clean and welcoming. The en-suite was excellent and toiletries provided. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Traditional English full breakfast freshly cooked to order . The owners are very friendly and obviously take great pride in their business

I have just read a review for The Hunters Inn .Saddens me to read it .We were the hosts of that function.The Staff are always friendly,and the food is outstanding as it always . I would not ever give them a Two Star .Their was no way the vegetables were soggy,My husband and many more had the beef and all said it was tender.Seeing it took four weeks to write the review and as host feel this was not a true insight to everyone else that was their .Please Hunters team keep up your great work .

Lovely Carvery and everyone was so friendly. They love dogs too 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

We went for a social gathering. The carvery was awful. Beef was dried out. Vegetables were all soggy. It was a large gathering and they we were all sat at tables of 4 which was very unsociable. Staff were unfriendly. Certainly wouldn't recommend the carvery and don't need to rush back

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, big portion sizes, lots of gluten free options. The owners have coeliac family members so really have an understanding of gluten free! Would recommend.

Great food and service. My wife is gluten-free and was very happy at the large variety available to her. We will be back .

Warm friendly welcome. Sunday carvery was excellent quality, with a selection of four different meats to choose from and a large assortment of vegetables. Very good value, we will be visiting again soon.

Great carvey, lots of food good range available. Lots of room in restaurants

The best food I have had in a long time. Found this place on the off chance after travelling back from North Devon to West Devon. Wish we lived closer.

Very good food, great choice of food. good service. I have been several times

Xmas Carvery and Bingo Great evening

Lovely meal in a great looking pub and friendly staff! Would highly recommend the Hunters.

Really nice and the food is great.

Great food, good value and always very welcoming

Such a lovely place , wonderful staff and top quality food! We have always rated this place and tonight they have proved again how they go above and beyond! Really enjoyed our take away puddings!! Thanks so much

Great food carvery. Had to have a takeaway because of bingo!

We went as a party of four, and we al had a lovely meal.

The best carvery we've had in a long time. The staff are friendly and helpful and the fact it is dog friendly is a big bonus

The service attitude is very good and friendly. The food in the restaurant is of high quality. The room is new and large and very comfortable. The check-in and check-out procedures are simple. The location is slightly remote.

We had Sunday lunch there then came back for a evening meal, the chef made be gravy with no onion and garlic on Sunday then on the evening made me a different sauce, amazing service as so many times when I eat out I'm so limited, will definitely be back when in the area, Thank you so much,

I love this pub, lovely beer and great food. Will always visit when I am local.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Hunter's Inn. Delicious carvery with a great selection of meats and veggies.

A lovely looking pub but no atmosphere at all. Ordered creamy garlic mushrooms. They were swimming in a mushroom sauce and not much taste. Wasn't impressed with the lasagne and the garlic bread was burnt. My husband's gammon was dry and hard. Altogether not a very impressive meal which wasn't cheap.

Lovely pub, good food and drink. Pleasant staff and atmosphere.

Excellent food lovely helpful friendly staff.

Fantastic Sunday carvery lunch and very good service.

Fabulous Sunday lunch with loads of veg options.We will be visiting again soon 10/10

Had a nice meal here, good food and friendly efficient service, very good.

Amazing food, lovely big garden, friendly staff…

Exceptional food, we had Sunday carvery and it was the best we've eaten. Plenty of choice, you can have all meats and trimmings should you wish and not limited - you can serve yourself the roasties, stuffing balls, yorkshire puddings, crackling, and all the veg, gravy and sauces!

Booked for a family celebration, very accommodating. Food was excellent

Second trip to the area and we went back to the Hunters Inn on a Sunday for the carvery. Very much need to book, and consider how many cars you take as they get very busy - and quite rightly so. The carvery food is excellent. Plentiful meat serving and superb assortment of veg. All the different condiments available too. Nice selection of drinks available too. All reasonably priced making it very good value for money as its worth paying for quality. Service is brilliant too. Friendly, welcoming staff who are happy to help. Lovely to see staff going to the carvery for older customers. Sums them up perfectly. Visit here if you can, make sure you book early!

Carvery was amazing. The option for a large carvery for the more indulgent diner

Second time we have visited The Hunters Inn, both times the service has been really friendly and efficient. A good choice of food which arrived in good time and was very tasty. (We especially enjoyed the creamy garlic mushrooms) If you're in the area well worth a visit. Third visit now, just as good as before, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great quality food and fantastic service.

Visited the restaurant on a Friday night. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Huge portion sizes too, fisherman's pie was excellent

Have just had one of the best Sunday Roast carvery ever at the Hunters Inn @ Newton Tracy! Front of house staff were welcoming and hospitable, whilst the 4 joints of meats on offer and the variety of vegetables prepared by the chef and his team was excellent! The managers team of waiters & waitresses were very amicable and delivered again excellent service. I for one will be returning to this wonderful establishment for another meal and drink in the very near future! Well done the Hunters Inn you definitely deserve the 5*s given by me. Keep up the good work!

Amazing food, lovely big garden, friendly staff and nice that it’s dog friendly. Great if you want to walk down to the little beach down the side of the pub, what a hidden gem.

We visited whilst on holiday for Sunday carvery. We booked in advance this was a good idea as it was busy. We were given a great welcome as were our two dogs who enjoyed their welcome treats. The quality of food was fantastic particularly the roast beef the veg was perfect. The team are a credit to the owner all of them were friendly and attentive and clearly work hard but have a smile on their faces which is testimony to their attitude and motivation. Ourselves and the dogs had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend The Hunters Inn to others.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, enormous portions

Spent 2 weeks on Devon in May 2023 visited the Hunters Inn every day they were open as.Fabulous staff always cheerful and helpful and Fabulous owner always a pleasure to go there as they never forget you and are always genuinely happy when you return. Food amazing really good choices as I have an eating problem but they always found me a meal I could eat umlike other eating places.Going back in September this year for 3 weeks and we cannot wait. If your down Newton Tracey way and have never visited you should and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Counting the days till we return. The Marriotts.

Very welcoming. Staff very pleasant. Food absolutely delicious and lots of it. Great value for money. Will visit again when down there.

Excellent Pub food, doesn't try to be anything else. Mostly locally sourced produce and delicious. Friendly helpful staff will definitely be back. Update after another outstanding carvery, with more smiles and service that makes you feel almost as if you're at a family home.

Easily accessible from the main road towards Torrington and Bideford. Welcoming service. Totally unhurried. Wasn't too busy on the occasions we went but advisable to book. The food was out of this world. Scampi, gammon and the fish pie were sampled over our 2 visits. All perfect. Not over the top price wise. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Had a family meal for Father’s Day which was carvery only, would had preferred another meal of the menu. Was quite busy when arrived for our booking time. Carvery was very nice and plenty of it, staff very pleasant.

Broke down in Newton Tracey, so I had to sit in carpark, the pub was closed as no chefs, so the reception was excellent even had a visit from a black and brown cat who was very affectionate

Friendly staff and good beer. It's all you need.

I've been here a few times now and always make the time to get here for lunch and an evening meal while away for the week on holiday. The food is top-notch and excellent service.

Nice looking pub/inn looks like it's been updated large car park. Very welcoming good atmosphere very clean and tidy we had the medras curry off the specials and the southern fried chicken burger for starters we shared the pulled beef nachos and for afters lemon cheese cake all the portion sizes were good with a great taste and we were full.

We, as a large extended family eat at the carvery regularly, we love it. Such accommodating owners, nothing too much trouble and the food is A☆ well cooked, plenty of meat on your plate in fact l have to stop John piling it on. Nicki, John's wife is sooo friendly and just lovely, Stuart is great too and the whole team can't do enough for you. You know you are getting a wonderful home-cooked roast dinner where you also see so many returning customers. They will even do the slimming world potatoes for me, it doesn't get better than that. You are greeted as friends and always with a bit of banter. Love, love, love you guys and your food is second to none. I can't judge accommodation as l've not stayed on site.

Just had meal was excellent 👍 the boys had gammon girls had fish pie and lasagna desert 2cheese cake 2had ice cream Brilliant service from the 2girls will be back well 👍👍👍

Lovely food, great service and they actually have Dry Martini, not many pubs do. Very impressed.

Great staff and food very clean

Delious food. Good sevice. Will be back

Great service and super friendly staff. Dog friendly with great beer and food. Everything you could ask for in a pub, just wish it was my local! Will certainly be back when we are next in Devon.

The food here is out of this world. I have been here 3 times. Two times being the carvery on a Sunday. Both times the food was plentiful, hot and cook exactly how u like it and one time for breakfast (available Fridays and Saturdays I believe) the breakfast was the best I've had. The only place to rival this breakfast, that I have tried in the area is the Castle Inn at Landkey (friday only). I think they are as good as eachother.

Fab food, fab service. Brilliant

We really like this place. When we're in the area we always eat here, and the staff are very good.

Great facilities, modern upgrades to a traditional devon pub. Drinks and food very good and sensible prices. Sunday carvery excellent. Accommodation in new block if required.

Wow what a wonderful time we had on Saturday lunch time , amazing pub delicious food you could not fault , everyone was so friendly and a great atmosphere fantastic owners staff and chef was amazing ,great works Christmas lunch , thankyou

Enjoyed another visit to Hunters Inn. Always a welcome with a smile. Great atmosphere. Lovely food, friendly staff and our dog enjoyed a rest close to the log fire. Will return

Food is cooked beautifully. Lovely service and good value for money

Great place. Lovely clean, modern rooms, and dog friendly too, which is what we needed. We are already planning to stay here again when we visit Barnstaple.

Really lovely meal. Made to feel very welcome such great customer service nice and clean will definitely recommend and be returning.

Out for a meal with Sam and Dave

Lovely meals, dog friendly and brilliant staff

Had a Sunday Carvery, glad we booked in advance. Very busy, standard and large plates available. My husband chose large and he had to admit defeat. Four types of meat, all excellent quality, plenty of vegetables to choose from. Literally, you can't fault it. Will definitely return.

We called in for lunch this week, hadn't booked. Enjoyed our meal, friendly and efficient service. It looks very well run - attractive and very clean. Beer is good. Fab chips - chips can tell you a lot about how a restaurant is run. Our meals arrived piping hot. We shall return and will book next time!

Refurbished, lacks a bit of atmosphere, maybe due to lack of custom on the evening I was there. Quite modern, friendly staff, food good

Amazing carvery lunch - be warned that the large adult plate really is very large. Delicious meat and an interesting selection of vegetables...

Had a family sunday carvery 09-10-22 .Staff were friendly and smiley.Good selection of meat and vegetables puddings were nice if you had any room to fit one it in.If you're in the area pop in and experience your selfs.

Lovely evening meal. Friendly staff. Dog friendly !

Sunday roast for 4 people just superb. So booked for an evening meal a couple of days later. Two of us chose the Fish pie. Bland at best and not a prawn to be found. Mentioned to waitress when asked how food was she sadly took no notice. The other meals were very good though.

First class Sunday Carvery, a delightful young staff,extremely friendly and efficient We enjoyed the food and the whole experience..Thank You. Eleanor was superb

Very good food and plentiful. Dog friendly. About average pricing.

Good friendly service, food excellent. Thoroughly recommend, have booked Sunday lunch and have no doubt we will be Regular visitors here.

Had a fabulous meal with my wife.Lovely staff. Very clean and tidy pub. Will certainly be going again. Great value for money.

Great food, the fish & chips were one of the best I've ever had. We've been there 3 times in a row. Friendly staff, if I could I would have given 6 stars!

A good menu with lots of choice great value and large portions.

Lovely ambience and food. Friendly service, we will be back!

We had a family gathering on Saturday 27th August, and myself and my wife booked a room for one night It was a grand success, there was nearly 25 of us . Hunter's were very welcoming and catered for all of us All of the staff we very nice polite and nothing was to much trouble. The room that we had was lovely, clean and a good night had. Thank you all.

Went in this pub 35/40 years ago came to Devon last year and went in for a meal on our last night food was fabulous well this year came down early last Friday morning and had seen breakfast advertised here drove all the way with only one stop arrived for breakfast at. 9.30 and what a breakfast loved it so we booked Sunday lunch for this Sunday well me being me ordered the large adult carvery this has got to be the best Sunday lunch I have had in many years staff were fantastic food was excellent only down fall was no room for pudding I will have to wait for next year for that absolutely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would recommend to any one in the area pop in and enjoy Thankyou well done

Great carvery & selection of meat & vegetables & homemade Yorkshire puddings. Vegetarian option available too.

Really good carvery, been there twice lately. Ham and turkey my choices with all the necessary bits and bobs to fill in your plate! I'll visit again of course.. Update: Carvery still a really good option for Sunday, I've been there a number of times now and the quality is still the same.. You better book for carvery, it can be quite busy..

Lovely meal and excellent service , will be going again 😊😊

Fabulous food, friendly staff, beautiful pub that welcomes dogs and expresso martini on tap!

Very good food. Turkey Curry from the specials board was spot on. Very fresh and a fair bit of spice too. 👌

Amazing food and service was excellent a warm welcome awaits you

A fantastic place for food and drink. We booked a table for our last meal before leaving Devon and it didn’t disappoint. From the moment we stepped in we loved it. We brought our dog and everyone made such a fuss of her, nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely. This really is a great pub after a long walk. Thanks very much to everyone at Hunters Inn

Wow what a great carvery! 4 types of meat to choose, yummy roast potatoes, parsnips, creamy leeks, cauliflower cheese, carrots, cabbage, peas, Yorkshire puddings... I was stuffed!! Was all very tasty. Also great how you can choose size of plate depending on your appetite. Well worth a visit

First time trying this place to eat and drink, we arrived to be greeted by warm friendly staff however the food was disappointing. The child's lasagne arrived over done in top in a microwave and warm in the middle, the fish we have had better from cheaper establishments. I ordered the adults ham, egg and chips to be meet with a child's portion something was mentioned to the staff but wasn't interested so just eat it. Unfortunately we didn't complain seeing as we had been travelling 10hrs and was exhausted. The bill was queried as I was xharhed an adults meal on the bill and didnt receice this.

Excellent Sunday carvery, friendly staff, definitely be returning.

Fine usually but no beef only to be told there and then....with no compensation or extras. All good though. Just a bit mean with the meat.

Went here for our wedding anniversary, food was awesome, not cheap but great quality and good portion sizes, would highly recommend.

Excellent food and the service was great. Easy to get to and a sizeable car park. We booked a table for Sunday lunch. We were seated close to the bar and the phone was constantly ringing, people trying to book a table and unfortunately they were fully booked. So my advice would be to make sure that you book early, well in advance of the day you want.

Good car park..great beer.. comfortable & cozy. Inside.. friendly helpful staff...menu looked great..dog friendly in the bar recommend it..

A very friendly pub/restaurant where dogs are welcome. Excellent and beautifully presented food. Good sized portions. Service was excellent too. Would highly recommend and hope to return when we are next in the area.
