Ley Arms in Teignbridge

I reviewed The Ley 2 months ago (5 star), but had to delete it to write this review (not sure why). We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate my friends 60th. And again it was superb.. we had the mushroom starter which was delicious, there were four of us and we had 3 of the roast's on offer, it was cooked perfectly, the roasties were lovely but my stand out element was the chicken ..tender & succulent..we had a side of cauli cheese.. the whole meal was 10/10, the bar has a very good local gin selection as well as other local brewers.. the service was very good (sorry never got the servers name) the pub itself is typically country but with a modern touch. Very enjoyable experience indeed, we will be coming back to try the evening menu again soon. 🙏🙏

Charming staff good food lovely setting Bit pricey

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Ambiance is brilliant and such a relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic food nothing more to say 😋

We found ourselves very lucky this past holiday season to have found The Ley Arms with its beautifully appointed rooms managed by the superbly professional and welcoming team of Karen, Martin and Chloe - all topped off by the pub's delicious fare. The location, a superb half way point on our trip from London to Cornwall, enabled easy side trips to Torquay for some great cliff side hikes, and Exeter. We hope to have future opportunities to avail ourselves of The Ley Arms' exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended!

Food and staff lovely, atmosphere beautiful, roads driving down to get here, scary! Hahaha

This has been a real find! We are staying here for a few days whilst visiting near by Exeter. The pub is in the small village of Kenn. There are a few well appointed rooms. We are very pleased with ours. It is modern with a large bed and a really good en-suite. The pub does top notch meals worthy of a high class restaurant. Their ales are well kept and they have great cocktails and spirits. A very good place to stay in South Devon

I was a little apprehensive given some of the reviews of the Ley Arms but I really needn't have been! We had a lovely Sunday lunch, tasty hot food and plenty of it even on the 'small' option . Pub had a lovely interior with lots of character and the staff were friendly and welcoming . will definitely visit again .

Nice steak night here. Lovely place and service great

Honestly amazing. The rooms are divine, and everything is catered for. We stayed in an accessible room that had thought of so much. Lower basins, lower mirrors for getting ready. Plenty of room to use a wheelchair. There were steps to check in and to get to restaurant though. Food was amazing and the staff were really friendly. They couldn't do enough for us.

Had a meal with family last month, our waitress jasmine was an absolute star! thank you, would definately recommend to anyone looking for somewhere cozy and welcoming!

Fantastic pub! Great food, and I tried the vegetarian option and was really happy.

Always good food and service, mushrooms on sourdough were delicious 😋 lovely pub

Went here for lunchtime service and we were very impressed ! Very friendly staff and when you stepped into the pub the atmosphere was great. The lunch service was spot on and very quick to come at our table. Food was 11/10 couldn’t complain ! 100% recommend to anyone. Will be back again.

Great ambience. Looks like it's had a super makeover since I was there last. Fantastic to see such a lovely place in semi-rural Devon.

We had been away in sunny climates since November 2024 and arrived back in uk and booked a hotel nr to Exeter we didn’t fancy hotel food so looked for a country pub with charm and character well the Ley Arms looked perfect. We drove over without a reservation and just hoped being a Tuesday evening 21st would be ok. We were greeted straight away with a warm welcome and shown to a table and they gave us a few minutes to decide on drinks. While deciding we where looking at the lovely charm and warmth of this unique establishment. Drinks sorted then what did we fancy to eat well plenty to offer in the way of English fare. 1.Ale braised longhorn beef 2.crispy Devon cider braised belly pork All served with veg. Presentation and taste absolutely top marks on both meals and great value. We were asked if we wanted dessert we were quite full but would have been rude not to look. So we decided on Warm sticky toffee pudding to share as sometimes it can be heavy but traditionally English. We were blown away how tasty and how light it was. The service was perfect and we will definitely be back and tell our friends.

Stopped in for lunch. A really nice place with plenty of tables in different rooms that gives it a warm feel.

A really welcoming venue. We had a lovely meal with friends, a choice of 5 roast meats with a great selection of vegetables served by friendly staff.

Had an excellent stay at the ley arms whilst on business in Devon this week. Unbelievable rooms and a wonderful dinner with local beer, Just what I love when I'm on the road. Had the pork belly option which was beautifully cooked with a lovely jus. The room was fabulous. Great Bad, great shower and slept unbelievably well. I will be back

Great beer and chips. Lots of places to choose to sit when inside.

Amazing stay the room, staff and food were all fantastic! 100% recommendation I stayed on business but will certainly be returning with my family 😊 and my new go to when away with work!

My husband & I had the pleasure of staying overnight last weekend. The room is luxurious & has every convenience provided, even for our dog who was equipped with bed, bowls & treat jar! We enjoyed both breakfast, lunch & dinner during our stay, all of which were delicious & of good quality & portion size. Lovely wines served at perfect temperature & a beautiful countryside setting. Booked again for next month!

Fantastic place to go for a roast dinner, lovely service and the food was just incredible!

Excellent food, super cosy and great service!

Great staff and wonderful atmosphere

Some reviews are easy to write because the experience was a very positive one and this is one of those reviews. Walked in the pub was decked out really Xmas vibe. Our food was delicious I had the pea & shallot Ravioli followed by the Chicken Supreme and it was supreme beautiful tender chicken my wife had the prawn cocktail and braised Longhorn pie all the food was top quality and where possible locally sourced ... Servers were very pleasant & attentive, it was a great experience and we will definitely be going again.

What a gem! Beautiful place, incredible staff, incredible food, and such beautiful rooms. We stayed in one of the suites for a night, and what a comfortable night it was. The room has everything you could ask for, and just screams luxury. We will definitely be back.

I just visited The Ley Arms with my daughter and it was absolutely beautiful! I wanted to treat my little girl to a night away and Christmas shopping in Exeter and this couldn’t have been a better place to stay. It was so convenient to get into the city but set apart in a lovely little village. My daughter was thrilled with the room (as was I) which was decorated beautifully and so clean! We had dinner and breakfast in the pub/restaurant and it was delicious and so cozy and Christmassy. Needless to say my daughter can’t wait to go back and I would certainly love to return in the new year. Thank you for a wonderful, festive stay 😊

Lovely pub - the decoration and atmosphere is great. Food is delicious.

So, so disappointed in the Christmas Turkey meal. The menu states organic turkey & we were served a wedge of very thinly sliced turkey slices that I consider to have been reheated & covered in a copious amount of gravy. The vegetables were plated up & also swamped in gravy. Never, ever have I been served such an appalling Christmas themed meal. No dish of freshly cooked vegetables offered either. Come on, Ley Arms.I don'tappreciate being charged top prices for canteen style' food! This was my first visit... & it will be the last.

Disappointed is the word I would use to describe our visit here. We have visited The Ley Arms numerous times for food and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. This time however the restaurant was cold, meals were cold, the veg was hard and 40 minutes after ordering our desert it still hadn't arrived so we spoke to one of the staff who finally brought it out to us. Our neighbouring table left before their desert came out!! We proceded to complain afterwards and have been offered a round of drinks next time we go but as it is a drive to destination this really doesn't benefit us at all and I feel doesn't make up for paying out £137.00 on a meal that was of a very poor standard. Needless to say we won't be eating there again and feel undervalued as a customer

We stayed for two nights and didn’t want to go home. Amazing attention to detail, beautiful taste in furnishings and the food is to die for!! Everything about the place is unique and a real treat.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the rooms very cosy. But the meal was very poor. Pate starter was good to share but the main course was very uninspiring. Very little difference in a large and small plate. The herb crust top on the beef was very hard, the sprouts were inedible and so undercooked you couldn't cut them with a knife. A few carrots would have cheered up a very bland looking plate of food.

A Christmas Party for 16, we couldn't of been looked after better by Karen & the team, amazing hosts, polite, friendly, professional, excellent service throughout the evening from the whole team & exceptionally good food. (lots of empty plates!!) We will be back again. Thank you & a very Happy Christmas to you all. Karen Harris

Stayed for one night after visiting Exeter Christmas Market. Rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. We had dinner in the pub and both thought the prawn cocktail was the best we’d ever had. Breakfast was amazing. Big portions. The pub area was cosy and staff were polite and helpful. Great value for money. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.

We've been to the Ley Arms many times as we live nearby, it's always fantastic. Beautiful pub, cosy and comfortable with amazing food. The staff are great too, family friendly and there's never any feeling of having to rush.

Spent the day at this exquisite venue tucked away in Kenn. For Bertie’s 21st Birthday celebrations we received a private room which we decorated. The food was divine and the staff were attentive and caring to our needs as a party of 15. Such a beautiful venue tastefully decorated so everyone felt special. We will certainly be back and hope its soon. Cannot speak more highly of this beautiful place. Thank you to all the staff for an exquisite day.

A lovely old pub/restaurant with beautiful rooms furnished to a very high standard in a new adjoining accommodation block.. The pub has a terrific ambience with willing staff and high quality food. The village is pretty but small, however Exeter is close by. We have stayed here twice and hope to do so again.

Wonderful lunch, every dish was delicious.

My partner and myself popped in for dinner and we were both impressed. Steak was cooked to perfection. All the staff were very helpful and even Reg the dog made us welcome. Will visit again.

Service wasn't great, couldn't find any staff to order more drinks or get some gravy to warm the dinner up. In the end I went up to the bar, at which point I still had to wait for staff (I think the manager) to stop being angry at a booking form and look up to help. Luke warm Sunday roast, potatoes hard on the outside and dry inside (seemed like they had been sat for ages) Yorkshire puddings with a similar quality to Aunt Bessie's and a splash of gravy on top. If a pub wants to justify £19 to £25 for a roast + £6 for cauliflower cheese they need to be able to deliver on quality and service. Unfortunately they didn't on this occasion. Edit: Wife told me to put something nice, the dog was lovely 😬 and a beautifully decorated pub.

Great service in a friendly traditional country pub Must visit

5 stars ! Fabulous food and warm welcome by staff in a lovely location Nothing was too much trouble and will return soon for the best Sunday roast and dog friendly

One of the best pubs in Devon. Food is fantastic, atmosphere is wholesome and warming.

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere

This is a real gem. We stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast in this quiet village pub and were given free upgrade to a superior room, which was superb. Food fabulous, staff excellent. Would recommend without reservation - in fact best B and B we have stayed in.

Great looking pub but bit expensive but good service and friendly staff

What a lovely local place, lucky to have such a nice pub to go to for a debrief after a good week at work.

Good food, great staff, all round grand experience!!

Everything about this place is 5*

We stayed a night at the Ley arms while visiting our son at university locally. The accomodation here is beautifully designed and very well appointed. Our welcome was warm and the food we had for lunch was delicious. This is where we will stay on every future visit while our son studies in Exeter !

Group of 4 with 3 different mains all really delicious. Had shared bread starters and chicken satay which was also delicious. Could have hose. Several other mains - great menu.

Excellent food and service. Beautiful surroundings. Well priced , very friendly atmosphere. We will be back soon. Thank you.

Sunday lunch - upscale prices for rather average food and service. It was just ok for us, and not good enough to make us want to return. Peculiar reaction at payment when I rounded the bill up, which amounted to about 7%, so below a standard tip, but something at least. Didn't say anything, but it was noted. (I wouldn't call an ironic sharp intake of breath and no word of thanks "appreciation")

Very nice rooms, staff very attentive and friendly, food nice and varied. Will recommend without hesitation.

Last minute decision to stay was a good one . Our quiet room ,Violet , was well equipped , comfortable bed & good shower Slept well & enjoyed the breakfasts . We ate there 3 times in the evening . Food sourced locally & tasty . Relaxed atmosphere in the bar / restaurant .

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.

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

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

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

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!!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.

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.

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.
