Ley Arms in Teignbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a difference a day makes. I had a meal last night, very good food, service, in a lovely pub/restaurant. I returned tonight, on the strength of last night's experience. Initially things went well, I was accommodated quickly, even though I had not made a reservation. Food was fair, service was not. I waited half an hour for dessert, tried to attract staff attention, and eventually gave up. I went to the bar, and asked the waitress to cancel the order. She said something about having problems. I said, had she checked on me, I would have ordered something else. She glared at me, and walked away. Another waitress asked if I wanted to pay my bill, which I did. She had the manners to apologise. The Ley Arms is priced on the higher side, the service should be high quality. It is not.

This pub/inn is the heart of the village. Stayed in number 5... absolutely the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! The food was wonderful.. the service... "Emma" was an absolute gem she made me feel very much at home. I would stay in no other inn when coming to South Devon... It's truly a postcard... A bit of heaven still left in the world!!!

Beautiful and spacious. It has been laid out and decorated wonderfully. Nice patio beer garden with covered areas. Little expensive. Limited vegetarian options (at least on Sunday)

The pub has a great menu and lovely atmosphere. The staff were really nice and couldn't fault the food. And the cute dog walking round was an added bonus! Would definitely go back.

The patio garden is such a lovely haven to enjoy a quiet drink .

Very tasteful rooms, super comfy bed and great shower. Food and service was excellent. Would recommend to stay or eat here.

Stopped here for some lunch with a friend on a August Friday lunchtime. It's a large pub and wasn't too busy. The food was good - we had fish and chips - but was pricey for what it was at £18 (I think). There was also only a few chips served with it which was a bit disappointing. It was OK though and a nice quiet patio area to be able to sit outside. There is a large car park but limited options for parking bicycles where you could lock your bike securely, so could do with ssomething to encourage bike use.

Excellent food and drink, friendly and efficient service, clean and well maintained, lovely location 👌

The ley arms used to be mine and my partners go to place for a lovely dinner, since the continuous increase of price for the Friday night steak deal it only seems the quality of food has declined. Unfortunately this has put me and several others off. Also they always used to allow me and my partner to replace the alcoholic drinks with soft drinks, this is no longer the case as well. When queried, we was told the only way around it was to purchase said steak meal incl alcohol and further drinks for us to actually drink

Absolutely perfect! Food was exquisite, rooms luxurious and the staff super friendly and accommodating. The area is gorgeous too and incredibly accessible as it’s just off the M5. We shall return!

My friend and I celebrated my birthday today at The Ley Arms. It was absolutely ‘top notch’… the food and service was outstanding. Hannah was our server today and her cheerful and professional attitude was the best! What a lovely girl… she couldn’t do enough to make our meal totally enjoyable. Ten out of ten to her, and to your chef. Fabulous!!

A large place to eat as places go. So getting a table was not tricky. Unfortunately the service was poor, it seemed that there were no fixed tables for the staff to serve. This resulted in our pudding order and second drinks order going astray -which left is waiting and waiting and only after asking did the staff realize their error. And so they did remove the costs from the final bill... The food was okay a good selection of meat based dishes but my first choice has run out when ordering but not much choice of vegetarian options so do check their online menu to be sure it is worth going. The atmosphere was busy and friendly and the staff were truly apologetic for their error. An okay place to eat.

A really lovely place, can't wait to go back,

We didn't stay but the rooms look like they would be good. The food is fantastic, a very welcoming atmosphere and a good choice of drinks available.

The roast was incredibly average for the price (£19 for a standard). Whilst portions were good, roast potatoes were not what anyone would call roast potatoes, but new potatoes heated to give the edges the tiniest wisp of crispiness. The seasonal vegetables (broccoli and courgette) were barely cooked and hard. Roast beef was thick, chewy and tough as old boots. Carrots and parsnips, whilst tasty, seemed straight out of a Tesco seasoned veg bag. The ‘giant pigs in blankets’ was a singular bacon-wrapped sausage cut into six pieces and placed in a small ramekin for £6. Sticky toffee pudding was okay, definitely not worth the price tag breaking £10. The cake was warm, but the surrounding caramel was cold (as if spooned on after heating). Ice cream was placed on a revolting, sawdust-like biscuit crumb that genuinely tasted of wood. What an absolute disappointment.

We were at my mother in laws 90th birthday meal with family & friends. Despite the sign stating all dogs must be on leads. One wasn't. I witnessed on two occasions a waitress trip carrying hot food over it. Sadly, due to its location, there is no wifi. The emergency services could not contact any of us when my father in law who was at home set off his fall alarm. That ended up with extended family from Bristol being called. So yes great food, livley decor. But can't ever go back with out an emergency responce link.

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our Sunday roast dinner; the potatoes were rock solid on the outside and super dry on the inside; the gravy was like water; the pork was very dry; they forgot to give us the included stuffing; the nutroast was a strange texture and personally we thought courgettes were a weird addition to a roast dinner! They also got our drinks order wrong and the service was really slow. It's a shame because the pub itself is really lovely in design but we had a very long journey so were very disappointed.

Excellent food very attentive staff

I had heard great things about the Ley Arms, and I was not disappointed. The exterior is attractive, the interior is atmospheric. The service with a smile was faultless, and the food was both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. A three course meal for two was over in a flash, helped by the professional service of the staff for both drinks and food. In what felt like no time we had our drinks and starters. Mains were quick to follow too. So quick we were impressed and worried the food may not be good, there was no need to worry. Clearly a well run kitchen, the food was top class. All done in 3-hrs, a pleasant experience from starter to dessert.

Great old pub, atmospheric setting. Good friendly service. Local produce nicely cooked and presented, quality meal.

Stopped for dinner here. Very good food and great beers in the beer garden. Slightly more expensive food than expected.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, excellent choices available, service was faultless in a very nice setting. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

Fabulous breakfast every day, room very stylish. Martin the new Owner very friendly and professional. Staff also friendly. Lovely place to stay.. Great place to stay if you have business in Exeter. Big thanks from Issy and Luke Baars.

What a wonderful place! We had an amazing lunch and Karen was just brilliant and helping us with so much local information

Visited Ley Arms for Sunday lunch today (21st April). A beautiful place, in a picturesque village. We had starters - mushrooms in blue cheese sauce on toast - absolutely delicious. We eagerly awaited our Sunday lunch. How disappointing. The potatoes were clearly not freshly cooked, but seemed to be reheated, being tough on the outside and dry and almost empty inside. The Yorkshire pudding, was very odd? It was very crispy and just snapped in your mouth. The lamb was disappointingly tasteless. For £19.50 for roast lamb dinner, I expected something far superior. I’m sorry, but we won’t be returning.

Excellent food in great proper pub setting. Good car park.

Great customer service. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly and nicely presented. I had the ham sandwich which was okay but standard triangular cut sandwiches that could be improved. Fries were very nice. The dark decor in the pub / restaurant is atmospheric but a bit too dark, which made reading the menu etc a bit difficult. Lovely location.

We had a Sunday roast here as a family and it was faultless

We stayed as a family in the newly furbished rooms for our sons Wedding which was nearby, the rooms are beautiful, food excellent, staff very accommodating, all in the stunning surroundings of the tastefully decorated pub, we all really enjoyed our visit and will be going again.

The drinks are very expensive, £11 for a double gin and mixer. Not everybody can afford those prices

Enjoyed an okay Sunday Roast in a large characterful pub. The sticky toffee pudding is to die-for! Waiters are very good and happy to help. Ambience is very good too.

Five of us stopped by for lunch today. As always the service was great, friendly and attentive. Food for the most part was very good, albeit vegan/vegetarian options are limited and uninspiring. The mature cheese and chutney sandwich was very disappointing, there was no mention of tomato on the menu, yet the sandwich came with thick slices of tomato and a distinct lack of mature cheddar. Not what you'd expect for a £10 sandwich.

It's got a nice interior - an interesting vibe with dark blue paint and fairylights. The food was fine - a decent burger and chips. The prawn cocktail was a tenner, which seemed a bit expensive at first, but when it arrived it was generous with the prawns and had a couple of nice thick slices of smoked salmon. Personal taste, but for me, coleslaw with onions has no place in a prawn cocktail and it was a bit wet, but that's the only comment I'd make. Staff were helpful and friendly. A solid, pleasant experience - I'd recommend. 👌

We have been visiting the Lye Arms for several years and it has never disappointed previously. This time was not the best we have experienced, the chips were cold and the burger was average. The waiting time was quite long and the service not up to the usual standard.

Lovely food. Definitely not your average pub grub. This place is an up market pub with delicious food in an absolutely stunning setting. The pub is beautiful, the staff are friendly and efficient. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Out in the sticks but great food, service, and ambience. Really nice decor.

Such a beautiful place to stay. The rooms are stunning, one of the best we’ve stayed in, so much attention to detail and stylish. We ate in the restaurant and that was fab too. Karen the owner is amazing. Will 100% be back.

Lovely traditional country pub, wood fires, cosy seating area and a warm welcome. Special mention has to go to Naomi who looked after us on table 28 this evening. She was very friendly and incredibly professional, a credit to the establishment. We enjoyed the last tomahawk steak remaining in the kitchen which was served with a complimentary bottle of wine, thick cut 'proper' chips and we chose to add onion rings (a great addition, hand cut and very tasty) and the blue cheese sauce. Our meal was served by another waitress who upon delivering it to our table asked if we would like plates? An unusual question but I suppose there are people out there that would eat it directly off the wooden board it was served on 🤷🏼‍♂️ there were also no steak knives offered? Was this a mistake or is the chef that confident in their cooking ability they felt they weren't required?? Alas we were able to enjoy our meal using the usual table cutlery. Our only comment being the sauce was very thin and not very cheesy. Following our meal we opted for a dessert from the specials menu. A Jamaican ginger cake sundae with rum and raisin ice cream and fruit and nut chocolate brittle, stem ginger and Chantilly cream. Sounds delicious! After approximately 25-35 minutes this was delivered and unfortunately didn't match the wow factor our main course had. In fact I'd say it lacked everything and appeared to be a sundae glass with some fairly bland ice cream topped with a 99 style flake! Definitely not worth the wait. We bought these points up with Naomi who was very apologetic and removed the items that didn't meet their expectations from our bill. We were wished safe travels and bid farewell. In conclusion I'd say we left as happy customers despite the few minor issues encountered and are looking forward to returning. I have no doubt that should you choose to visit you would equally enjoy yourselves. Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights Romantic, Quiet

Love this pub! We went last night, the food was excellent and the pub is so cosy. Only downside last night was the staff, I understand they were busy but the couldn't raise a smile whilst they took our order and served us, the one waitress was quite abrupt when I politely asked if my dessert was on the way (waited 3/4 of an hour), no apology....... I think they need more training in customer service. Despite this, we will be back, the food is fantastic, we had the pork which I highly recommend.

Came in for a Sunday roast with the family. The pub is gorgeous and beautifully appointed. We sat in the snug area away from the main dining room as a party of 8. Service was slick and the food excellent. Portion sizes were generous. Just be aware that if you're sat in the snug you'll be with people just in for a drink; when we were in there was a group of gents who were a little loud. Overall really good quality food and would recommend.

Was mother's day and didn't feel like much of an effort was put on for the mums. Rosties reheated, unless it was just mine Or as we were clearly the last reservation. Was given the scraps. No cheesecake left and kn a area with a large booking made us feel pushed out the way.

Amazing traditional country pub. Very dark inside with lots off nooks and crannies for dinning. Staff where great except for the older lady possibly manager/owner with glasses pulled a face when I requested condiments for my sausage and mash. Sausage and mash Which was ok mash tasted a bit like packet mash. There own sausage recipe was ok good size banger. Prawn cocktail lacked mary rose sauce. Calamari starter I found boring. The hummus and crudités came out as a bread sharing platter olives hummus (which was very course with a lot of garlic. Which they left and went and got the crudités and hummus. Arrived with just crudités no Hummus.. Overall it was ok but for pub food it just lacked pub food vibes especially for the price. Definitely the better pub in the area.

Wow! This is a truly special pub. It’s really large inside with lots of nooks and crannies. The decor is very traditional and the atmosphere really cosy and relaxed. We visited on Saturday lunchtime to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was very busy and we were really impressed that the tables were laid out in quite a spacious way, rather than crammed in like so many other pubs do. We always look for dog friendly venues when dining out. Several dogs were visiting today including two of our own. All dogs present were impeccably behaved. I’m sad I didn’t get to meet Bertie the Pub Dog (hopefully next time). The staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. The food was fabulous. Most of us had Fish and Chips. The batter was crispy and perfectly cooked. Desserts were presented beautifully and also delicious. Our Mum’s were delighted with their day out. If we lived closer, we would be regulars!! We will be booking up again soon for sure.

Fantastic evening meal in a beautiful setting. I had a gorgeous steak and my other half’s fish was huge and so meaty!! Our son had a main burger and he loved it - particularly the skinny fries! Sticky toffee pudding and sorbet were chosen for dessert and both were really yummy. Our waitress was so friendly and lovely. Even took our little boy to a little games chest for us to play a game (scrabble) at the table. Little touches like that always make me want to return 😊 oh I also added the king prawns to my steak and they were delicious!!

A great country pub in lovely surroundings that has great food, well kept beer and welcoming staff. Spot on.

Really lovely vibe, great decor. Service was good, location is good but not obvious. Had a look at the rooms and they are decorated and finished to a stylish and high standard.

Always have such a good experience at The Ley Arms. Always good food and drinks.

A last minute decision for Sunday lunch and The Ley Arms was fantastic. Very fortunate to be able to get a table for 2 without booking (booking is highly recommended!) and the Sunday roast was fantastic both in quality and quantity

We visited this pub for an evening meal prior to a large family get together planned for March. Externally, when my wife and I arrived, liked the look of the place. This however proved to be to high point of the evening. On entering, I was disappointed by the temperature, not cold but not warm enough to feel comfortable. I had been informed prior to our visit that it was top end for a pub restaurant and therefore I was expecting a more inviting and professional table dressing, but all we got was knife and fork on a paper napkin, salt & pepper pots and menu/wine list The lighting was inadequate and I had to use my phone torch to read the menu. Seating was of a minimum standard, not good enough for a long meal. The staff where variable, one disinterested, the young lady however tried hard to be pleasant and helpful. Overall the food was just ok, my steak was tough, lacking flavour and taste, my wife's fish was not the best. We declined a sweet or pudding and left, both in agreement that this was a one off occasion and was not the venue for us.

Beautiful old place in a quaint village, Exceptional food and extremely friendly and helpful staff, highly recommend Didn't stay so cannot comment on rooms, but if they are anything like the restaurant area then they will be lovely

Very nice pub with great atmosphere

Stopped off for a Sunday Lunch after a dog walk at Dawlish. We've been here a few times before and the food is very good, literally can't fault it. However...... the service on this Sunday afternoon was very ordinary. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the staff treated us as though we were invisible. I went to ask for a menu and a lady walked past me with three in her hand and said "wait a minute". No problem. I got two menus. Fifteen minutes later I flagged a waitress down to take our order. 40 minutes later our food arrived.I feel like this is quite a long wait for a fairly pricey Sunday lunch. Now, as I said, the lunch was really good, but I do have a gripe - £5 extra for Pigs in Blankets, (not enough of them for a family of 3) and £5 extra for Cauliflower Cheese, (not enough for a family of three). Our meal for three adults with one soft drink each came to £79, which I don't think is cheap for a roast dinner. I don't mind paying if the food and service is good, but on this occasion I don't think the service was up to scratch. Hopefully it was just an off-day.

Absolutely amazing Sunday roast (lamb), beautiful furniture, and fires. Staff are very welcoming. Highly recommend looking forward to returning back. Thank you

Fantastic roast and good house wine. Quick and friendly service. We arrived without booking and there was no problem finding us a table. So good that a country pub does food on a Sunday throughout the day.

Not our first steak night but the best. Fantastic steak. Heavenly chips served on the side !(I hate them served under the steak) and a tasty salad. Great beer and top service. A really good evening thanks

This was my first visit and just before Christmas, dog friendly which is a must for us. Excellent food and service. Just a tad too dark for me, I like to be able to read the menus more easily. We will return.

The Christmas carol evening has always been a lovely pre-cursor to the festive season but we were disappointed with the length of time we had to wait for our table, also it was by the kitchen door which meant we were constantly seeing the staff coming in and out of the kitchen ( not good).

A great find. We stay locally while visiting my daughter, this is a bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit. It's a lovely, traditional, cosy country pub in a small village. Lots of small rooms, nooks and fireplaces. A friendly welcome and a nice menu. All locally sourced with a focus on food miles. I had a local steak which was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Christmas dinner, great atmosphere and some good beers too. Can't go wrong

We didn't eat but the food I saw looked really goo

The food was tasty but it took us about thirty minutes to be seen, and we didn’t get any drinks for about 40 mins. My dinner was lukewarm, although my friend was served here piping hot so I think I just got unlucky.

Beautiful pub with a fireplace and good selection of drinks. Lots of tables too

Sunday lunch was spoiled by chewy beef. I wish we had had the pork. I liked the idea of a small portion size which was perfect for us although to add extras such as cauliflower cheese would have added £5 each. We declined puddings when we saw they were asking £9.50 for basic puds like sticky toffee etc. the serving staff were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful and the pub was packed so clearly lots of people like the atmosphere here. We are regular customers but would suggest the cut of beef is unsuitable for a Sunday roast.

Amazing! Good service and delicious food. Lovely pub to sit and relax in, cosy and beautifully decorated 😊

What a fab place highly recommend love Karen ❤️ fantastic food

Simply amazing food (generous servings and all local ingredients) at a very reasonable price. The decor is tasteful and service friendly and fast without being fussy. Worth booking in advance. Definitely coming back!

Lovely pub great food, atmosphere and service

We went for some lunch and both had the fish & chips,which were fantastic. Lovely atmosphere with a lovely old pub. Recommended.

Booked for four of us for Sunday lunch. Our second visit and we love this place. It is a lovely homely pub and the staff are lovely. Great roast dinner and we will definitely be back! Thank you ☺️

Nice food for alright price. Serves non alcholic cider so i was happy.

First visit for a Sunday lunch, very nice it was too. Liked the idea of a smaller portion size which suited my wife. Well kept local ales available. Cosy atmosphere with log fires . Oh and tempting puds.

Ordered A roast beef lunch£18. Beef was so tough I asked for a sharper knife, which I was given. Extras such as cauliflower cheese were £5. Premier prices for mediocre food.

We absolutely loved this pub. Delicious food a cut above your average pub meal, very friendly staff, and a special atmosphere that’s been made thanks to a great deal of care and attention to the details.

Excellent food, but 18 quid for Sunday lunch plus 5 for cauliflower cheese and 5 for pigs in blankets is alot of cash for Sunday lunch....71 quid for 1 starter, 2 dinners and 2 drinks each is little bit of a rip off..so only 4 stars...

I love this pub as its so oldy worldy! Lots of places to sit, lots of different areas to choose from, really cosy and always decorated wonderfully. Good selection of food at reasonable prices with good portions. 👍🏼

Nice pub, food nice but rather expensive for a pub. Strange bubble and squeek: potato and carrot! With rocket on the side.

Stunning no more needed will always return. Vibe, staff, food absolutely lovely, we love in brixham will defo return to a lovely pub

We both had a small fish and chips which was huge and only £13 per portion so excellent value for money, good service and atmosphere, nice food, friendly, loved the dogs! Interesting varied menu. Relaxed environment.

Excellent service, and fabulous food. Will certainly be coming again 😁

Table of 6 for the Sunday Carvery, overpriced and were disappointed with the standard of the meat, both the lamb at £19.50 and beef at £18.00 were over cooked and a bit tough, the whole meal was not that hot, so obviously the food had been sitting around before being plated. You had to pay extra for a small dish of cauliflower cheese at £5.00, what a rip off, for the price of the carvery why wasn't it included. To be honest it was just as though the meat had been cooked earlier in the morning, or even the day before and reheated, it was the same of the roast potatoes, they had the taste of being reheated..... such a shame. The sweets, although very nice, were very over priced. at £9.50 We will not be going back for the Sunday lunch and would not recommend. On a good note, the staff were very friendly and attentive and the actual pub was lovey.

I had been to The Ley Arms a few years ago and loved it, so booked dinner here with friends who were visiting this weekend. The atmosphere was very nice, lots of fairy lights, lovely decor etc - but the food was very underwhelming. The patè starter was small and came with bog standard sliced brown bread like you'd get in a supermarket rather than anything special, and the arancini balls starter didn't really taste of anything much. At £9.50 each for starters, we expected something a bit more than this. The pork belly main course wasn't 'melt in your mouth' as it should be, it was OK but tasted more like it was out of a packet. The beef main course again tasted OK, but was basically a casserole with small cubes of meat - not quite what I expexted from the menu's description. Overall the food was fine, but very overpriced and all 4 of us felt we could have cooked something tastier at home unfortunately. Nobody came to take our payment so eventually we went up to the bar to pay the bill and the staff member asked if everything had been OK. We gave polite but honest feedback and rather than just saying 'sorry you didn't really enjoy your meal', she said things like 'well I had that dish for lunch and it was delicious' and 'we've sold 30 of those today and had no other complaints'. We won't be returning for food unfortunately.

A cracking traditional pub quiet but delightful

I have to say this lovely 12 century pub, has to be the cleanest pub I've been into for a while. The staff were all really helpful . The veggie nut roast was the best I've had in Devon, not just a mush but more like your traditional nut roast. We were a group of 8 all meals came out at the same time piping hot. Fabulous, thank you.

Lovely venue with great atmosphere. Dog friendly as well. We had Sunday lunch which was delicious, local products it’s best. Wheelchair accessible too

Really beautiful pub, with extra on street parking if the car park is full. The pub is lovely and cosy, and I found it easy to access and get around in my wheelchair. There are steps inside the pub and different levels but there are plenty of tables that are accessible via a side entrance, with a wooden hand made ramp. The food was very tasty, and the staff were all super friendly especially the lovely two pub dogs!

Roast was ok…. The sides were extremely over priced, £5 for one sausage cut up and £9.50 for a dessert 😳 which we decided against!! Again, too overpriced….we also weren’t impressed with the dogs begging for food at our table & cocking it’s leg up....

Had the loveliest time here with husband this afternoon, the staff were attentive, the roast was so tasty and a generous portion, the gluten free options were great as we have an allergy we were so pleased. Amazing wine list too! The atmosphere is warm and homely and our dog slept peacefully and happily in the lovely ambience that has been created. Will definitely visit again soon ☺️

Such a lovely place, amazing food too

Reliably good food. The menu offers a range from pub grub to more fine-dining type of meals. All done very well. Service is pretty good, but obviously slows down a bit when it is very busy, which is to be expected. The major downside is that they have built an extension that has cut down what was a decent car park to one that is now inadequate. You will now have to drive around and park in the hedge nearby to the pub. I understand why the pub did this, but I am sure the village is not pleased. Despite the issues parking, it is certainly still worth the effort.

10/5 Incredible quintessential English pub with the food, ambience and service to match. We drove 2 hours to get there and I would be happy to drive that again and again!! Look up England in Autumn and it would come up ‘The Ley Arms’

During service we had contact with five members of staff and I can honestly say I've its been a long time since I met such a miserable bunch. To add insult to injury the two rib eye steaks were tough and gristly with one being...

Lovely pub with great atmosphere Only let down by the price of the 3 meat roast - 25 quid bit pricey!

My views are simple we traveled there to specifecly book a table for our evening meal which we did although she didn't seem to interested in us we arrived twenty minutes before the time so we had a drink in the beer garden however we came back in to find our table was occupied by someone else so I questioned the bar lady and she said she didn't know about the booking and that the people had ordered there food so I said I was not happy about this we reluctantly sat someware else by which time the lady that took the booking came in she didn't want to look at me but I questioned her about the booking to cut things short when I went to pay the bill the manager said it was his fault and apologized however he did not offer anything in a way of an incentive for me to want to visit there again but I must say that the food was excellent and the one waitress should be promoted to the manager's position

Evening dinner on a Tuesday, good number of people in. Great food, lovely staff, good atmosphere!!
