Loddiswell Inn in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best Steak in town, great value for money. Home made cheesecake to die for!! Nice old fashioned pub. Thank you so much, Very friendly landlord. Made us feel very welcome ☺ We will be back!!

Had a great night, BBQ food was delicious, good service, fair priced drinks and a brilliant atmosphere. Definitely be returning.

The landlord and landlady were very friendly. Good basic home made food. The portions are huge. The lasagne was very good. We were staying for the weekend in the village and were made to feel welcome. Saturday night was busy. However, we had good service with friendly staff. Would recommend.

We have family who recently moved to the area and so now regularly stay in the village. When we come we really look forward to visiting the Loddiswell Inn. The pub is very well run and the landlord/landlady are extremely friendly and hospitable. There is a great range of food, drinks and bar snacks available and the atmosphere is really friendly. Our kids and dog feel very comfortable here too. We have eaten in the pub a few times and are yet to have anything but great food. We will be back as often as we can.

Great service, good food, the steak and chips and trimmings excellent wee cooked to our liking. Bar service very good and the landlord Ash was very obliging. Well recommended. Cheers M

We enjoyed a meal here while staying at Greenland’s cottage Wonderful bungalow near here recommend and 10 mins walk to this pub

Great variety menu and the portions were huge for the money. Can’t fault it as we were a table of 8 and it was really quite busy in there even though a Monday and we hardly had to wait at all. The lasagna was huge, great chips, I had vegan cottage pie which was lentils and veggies, piping hot and was very good actually. Pie was great and scampi. New owners since the pandemic ended and I think they’ve done very well. Great food, huge portions and lots of hand gel stations so they’re doing all they can. Few picnic tables outside end you can just watch everyone also. I’d definitely go again.

I went for a date here with lovely young lady and we both thought are food was the best in Devon. I highly recommend this pub to everyone and the prices for food and drinks are excellent. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. Please go to the loddiswell inn

I have visited the Loddiswell inn nearly every weekend for many months. I continue to come back as the food is brilliant! Large portions, extremely tasty and fantastic value for money. The owners of the pub are very inviting and make you feel welcome everytime. The pie is my personal favourite, it melts in the mouth and is the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Couldn’t recommend the pub enough!

Really enjoyed our food tonight, had the nachos and the pizza’s. Both were amazing and very filling! Staff were lovely and very informative. Defiantly will be back again!! Best pub grub around !!

Popped in for a quick drink with friends and ended up staying for a quick dinner! Good friendly welcome from the landlord and landlady! Nice selection of very reasonably priced ales & lagers along with a tranquil but vibrant atmosphere. I had scampi, accompanied by ‘proper decent’ chips and traditional garden peas - cost less than a tenner! Finished off by relaxing on the sofa. No thrills, proper pub, good grub and a cold pint! What more do you want?

Excellent Sunday lunch today Nice decor, friendly efficient service and great roast and pudding A proper pub x

Visited this pub while staying in the village,we have had the most wonderful meals and the owners are fantastic,we were made to feel so welcome

Great welcome from the new owners this evening. Andrea and the team all really friendly and an excellent new menu. Great atmosphere and nicely busy on a Friday evening. The food was delicious and very reasonable - we’ll definitely be back!

New owners at this village pub. Great welcome from the bar staff. New menu and we chose Beef and It was delicious! Thoroughly recommend, early days for Andrea and the team, but good things are on their way!!

We visited this pub as a family whilst on holiday in Loddiswell as we had read the amazing reviews below about the food. We were sorely disappointed with what we were served. The pies had a visible morrisons stamp on and were clearly not fresh or home made, the scampi and fish had come straight from the freezer, as were the chips. They did not cater to vegetarians or vegans, albeit they did try and cater for it, however this resulted in being served green beans and peas straight from the freezer again.The ladies serving were lovely, however the food was not up to scratch. Would be good to visit if you were just having a drink.

Lovely hot home cooking really tasty food. Highly recommended. Home from home. Worth a visit or two.

Two recent visits whilst on holiday. Friendly and obliging staff. Great food and below average prices with very good portion sizes. Free public car park a few yards past the pub. Highly recommended!!

Lovely little spot in the heart of the village, great specials on for the evening food wise. Soaked up the atmosphere with the locals, Overall good night out!

Best Sunday roast we have had in a pub!! If your in or around Loddiswell on a Sunday have a roast as good as home cooked!

The Loddiswell Inn's Fish & Chip Friday's were already the best fish & chips in the area but now they have topped that by making them gluten free! To create such a light and crispy batter that coeliacs and those following a gluten free diet can enjoy is fantastic. The fish is fresh and very tasty too with great chips and a choice of garden or mushy peas to top it off. Highly recommended - Thank you!

We were staying in Loddiswell for a week on holidays. This is a very friendly pub, both the staff and locals made us feel very welcome, we didn't get to know everyone's names (sorry) but Sam, behind the bar, was always lovely and chatty as were all staff. We watched a couple of the World Cup games there and enjoyed the atmosphere and general banter.The pub does some great food and has special offer nights which are amazing value for money. Thursday has 2 steaks (with all the trimmings) for £20 or £25 depending on weight of steak. The portions are huge. Fish and chip Friday is also very popular with freshly battered fish, all made to order.Great local to spend some time in. Thanks

What a fantastic find this good traditional pub is. A real village community feel to it , great Sunday lunches, all home cooked, and best fish and chips I’ve had for years, good quality home cooked food and served with a smile by polite and welcoming staff. Highly recommend a visit or two.

Still can't beat the fresh battered fish and hand cut, twice cooked chips! Best F&C; in the area - as cheap as a takeaway but even more tasty. Very popular, so don't forget to book.

If you like your meat then come here on a Thursday and get some good steaks or mixed grill all at half price.

walked the 3mile (ish) circular walk either side of the river from the free Lodiswell car park and tried the Lodiswell Inn for Sunday lunch. The staff and many local residents were friendly and the food was excellent. Between us we had the standard pork roast (there was a choice of three meats and three different sizes of roast) and a chicken curry. The meat, potatoes and gravy are served on the plate with seasonal vegetables brought to the table. The chicken curry was full of chicken and flavour. The pub had a choice of real ales. Would definitely return again.

Visited on Saturday. Had a fab steak burger and husband had a delicious veggie lasagne. Lovely pub and friendly staff and locals. Staying in Loddiswell for a week so have found our favourite place already!!

We were staying down the road and so this pub turned into our local for the week. We ate here 3 times during the week in the end. We booked in for the Friday night fish & chips night as recommended by the owners of the accommodation we were staying in. We turned up with 9 yr old daughter and flat coat retriever in tow and were welcomed. It was a good job we had booked as it was busy and very popular. We obviously had to have the fish and chips, however there were other choices available if you didn't want this. When it came out it was huge however it was beautiful, the fish was lovely and the batter really crispy and fresh. Yes you had to wait, however it was obvious the food was being cooked from fresh and was worth the wait.

Visitamos en media noche steak precio y el Inn estaba bastante concurrida.

Este es un hotel muy tradicional que pasa como del viejo mundo Inn oldey para servir comida extremadamente encantador. Está en un gran lugar en el centro de la aldea, pero olvídate de aparcamiento en las inmediaciones. Tienes que aparcar en la carretera cerca de la Oficina de Correos.

Llegamos un viernes por la noche para el té, pero el pub estaba lleno y claramente haciendo un rugiente comercio ser pescado y noche patatas fritas. La casera era muy servicial y nos encontró una mesa en el restaurante. Tuve la pasteles de pescado tailandés que eran deliciosos y cocinado a la perfección y mi marido tenía el scampi. Ambos se sirven con patatas fritas y la mía tenía una bonita ensalada. Hicimos espacio para dulces y probamos el pudding de toffee algunos baches que nunca había oído hablar de antes, y fue increíble. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra estancia y sin duda recomendaría comer allí.

Mi marido, un perro y hable por con la esperanza de poder pedir comida de domingo sin reserva. El personal del bar era muy amable y servicial. Pedir bastante rápidamente porque dejan de servir en un momento determinado.

We visited on a Thursday (Steak night) all meat was half price which made it very good value. The pub had a lovely feel to it and both staff and local customers were friendly. 4 of us had a steak which was cooked to our...

Loddiswell es un pueblo bonito, y bien vale la pena explorar.

My partner and I got take away food tonight, it's known to be a bit hit and miss but the pizzas we had tonight were aweful! And the chips are like those from a burger van, can't comment on the rest of the pub but avoid the take away at all costs..

Good old village pub with open fires. Also doing takeaways which is handy if you are staying in the area

A friend and I visited in the evening for a meal. The home-made steak and kidney pie was probably the best I've ever had, with a decent amount of really tasty gravy; the veg was nicer than is often served up. Friendly helpful staff. Yes, the wait is a little longer than might be expected, but for freshly cooked dishes, one could not fault it for the price. We'll be back!!

We have eaten here three times during our stay near the village. This is definitely not a gastro pub so do not expect trendy ingredients and food "towers". But .. Our fish and chips were some of the best that I have had recently and my gammon steak was delicious. We had pudding one evening and the streamed golden syrup pudding with custard brought back so many childhood memories.

Been coming to Devon for years and passed this pub many times.We thought we would give it a go.We both plumped for the gammon.Bearing in mind the pub was very quiet we waited a good half hour for our food.The gammon was a 12oz and filled half the plate.the remainder was filled with a mountain of chips and some dry new peas.I don't think it was worth £10 95.On a Thursday as with all steaks its half price and this would be about the correct price.The pub was over run with dogs.

Great food and wine, if you have not been then you are many missing a proper local pub x great beer,cider and desserts. Recommend the lumpy bumpy toffee...yum

We were drawn here by an old guide book for a local walk. Were not sure about the pub when we first arrived, but it was full of locals. Sunday lunch came in kids, standard and large servings. Glad we went standard as it seemed very substantial so can't imagine what the large would be like. It featured a huge slab of beef which just melted in the mouth. And all the vegetables were perfectly cooked, Al dente. Washed down with good wine. What a find.And if you do the walk down by the river and disused rail track, you can then stop for coffee and the garden centre just out of the village. Both places are dog friendly.

We were looking for a suitable place for lunch and not having much luck due to it being the Sunday before Christmas and most places were full.Our search went wider and wider with no luck. I stopped and asked a local man if he knew of a nice place that might be available. He answered that yes he did but would not reveal it unless we lived in the area. Fortunately we do, and were directed to this lovely village with the Inn right in the middle of the village but way of the main routes.The place is very pleasant and well mmaintained. We were made very welcome upon entering, and although they were busy and most tables occupied , a table was found very quickly and drinks brought to our table. We ordered the standard size Sunday roast offering a choice of meats. The roasts come if three sizes , childs , standard and large. together with a host of alternate dishes including fish. Although we were hungry , the standard size roast was more than enough to eat, so sadly we did not feel able to sample the various puddings / sweets that were on offer.Card payments are accepted as well so no worrys about finding cash out in the ' sticks ' Our host Jason made us very welcome , we did not feel pressured to leave as soon as we had finished. I enquired about accepting larger partys and was told they would be made very welcome providing some notice was given.Altogether , we had a very pleasant experience, and one we shall be returning to for more enjoyment.

Went on Thursday "half price meat board" so for instance, my £10.95 10oz gammon chips and peas was £5.50 . Quality ? Well think good pub grub , typical 70's style , plenty of it as well . The steaks looked good and everyone ate well . Total bill of £78 including puds deserves a star alone. Will be back .

friday fish and chips are great two meals for £15. Handmade chips with a different fish each week from local fish market.

Lovely old fashioned pub with a resident dog. Good selection on the menu, we each ordered something different. Food was tasty and great value for money. The portion sizes were huge! Worth a visit.

Recently tried the Fish and Chips on Friday nights . Great value - freshly cooked Fish. We live in the village and try to support our local Pub. 2 for 1 Meat night on Thursdays is also great and good value.

Had a delicious home made steak and kidney pie, double crust, not a pot with a pastry lid floating on it! A proper pie filled with plenty of Chunky meat and a little kidney, lovely fresh veg selection nicely cooked. Too full to eat a pud, shame!

Just what an English village should be. Good quality food and beer, at reasonable prices, with a nice warm friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended, but limited on street parking only

We had been recommended to visit this Inn, ordered 2 rib eye steaks cooked medium rare, when they arrived they looked ok but when you cut into them it was obvious they were thoroughly cooked, in fact my husband turned his over and it was crucified. As no one asked about our meal we had to as it until the table was cleared to voice our concerns. This is not acceptable practice for a place that was not overly busy.

This has become our favourite spot for a Sunday lunch treat. We normally make a point of visiting when we have friends or relatives with us. The quality of the food has always been consistently good. Hearty, good value portions of straight forward home cooked food are the order of the day. The Dartmoor Ale on draught is always well cellared. A reliable local.

What looks like a small village local has a spacious interior with hearty, tasty well cooked meals with special deals most days

Very poor service from the bar person from the minute we stepped in. Only one real ale available, and wine was Leibfroumilc. There were several items not available from the menu, all the meals were served with chips, no baked potato, no new potato, no mash . When asked, the staff were not able to give any indication of what type of fish was in the fish pie. We ordered barnsley chops and after waiting 15 minutes we were told that they too were sold out. There appeared to be a delivery service going out every few minutes, so someone was receiving the care and attention, but not the customers at the Inn. We did not stop.

Cannot fault this meal. We went on a Thursday when it is 2 meals for the price of 1. The meals was excellent, steak with all the trimmings and all 4 meals came out with the steaks cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and their local beer Exmoor was also very good. Will definitely return.

Phoned and booked a table at the Loddiswell Inn on Wednesday 6th August for 4 people at 8pm which was great.Turned up at the Loddiswell Inn on Thursday 7th August when it all started going downhill from here.We were shown to our table 15 minutes after our scheduled time and then our order was takenand this was the last we saw anyone for 1 hour 15 minutes.When the food finally turned up our steak was overcooked or under cooked, the liver and lamb chop that came with the mixed grill was like eating a piece of rubberIf the food had been served on time we would of been sent it back to the kitchen so they could of cooked our steaks the way we asked for them to be cooked but because of the lengthy delay and we were hungry we just ate what we could and then paid and left as we had two children with us who were tired after a long day at the beach.Also we were offered no apology from any of the staff for this delay as there attention was mainly spent on the locals.My recommendations would be if the Loddiswell Inn after going to offer discounted food and they expect to be busy then they need to employ more staff so the customer gets the service that they are looking for rather than one person attending to 50-60 people.So we won't be going back.Sorry Uncle Chris!RegardsKevin

We often eat here as it is our local. Don't expect cordon bleu cooking, that's not what it's about. But it is fantastic value, especially their half price meat specials. And the staff are friendly and helpful.

We have alway been made to feel welcome along with our 14 year old special needs son when we visit the Loddiswell Inn whilst on holiday in South Devon. All our requests for help are always met and hence the reason we keep returning.

Wij hebben hier tijden onze vakantie een aantal keer gegeten. De keuken is uitstekend! Ontzettend aardige mensen achter de bar, prijs/kwaliteitsvehouding prima!

After walking up the hill into loddiswell we were in need of a refreshing beer and that we got, complete with a smile from behind the bar. Locals we met were very friendly. Dogs were made welcome and a bowl of fresh water appeared for them. Didn't eat but menu looked ok.

We moved back to the uk recently and have had a great welcome from the staff at the pub. Great food, lovely people. Dogs made very welcome by the two resident collies. Would highly recommend the pub.

Had Sunday lunch, busy pub with really good food. Bar staff very accommodating with my dietary needs, when coming to order my food. Well worth a visit and there local beers good to,Very good value for money.

Went on Friday for a drink, friends had food. Great steak and kidney pie, home made from scratch. Also mushrooms in garlic sauce as starter but eaten as main, man size portions! Also nice atmosphere, and refreshing change from corporate/group pubs. Definitely worth a visit!!

We are relatively new to the area and have been warmly welcome by Helen, the Landlady, and regulars alike. Sunday roasts are the best I have had from a pub - just like home cooking and great value. We always treat ourselves to at least one Sunday lunch per month and more when friends are visiting! (Just remember to book)The pub has a great atmosphere, with many extras throughout the year - well attended quiz nights (out of season), charity events, meal specials and a good value takeaway service (with free local delivery).Kids and dogs are welcome - as long as they are well behaved and kept on a lead (only the dogs, of course!). Our kids love going there - as long as they get to choose what they eat (my daughter is particularly keen on the (home cooked) Ham, egg and chips!)

We have been to the Loddiswell before. It's good food & very friendly. They do takeaways aswell as bar meals, with good deals on food on certain nights. They also do over 60's meals which are really good value. More local people should us it. Use it or loose it.

Always seem to have various deals on, advertised on boards on the roadside, especially out of season. Half price 'meat' day is a particular favourite as well as '2 for 1' roasts.As we drove past last Saturday we noticed the board this time advertising free meals for children, so rang to book a table for 7.45pm that night, confirming the offer applied to one free child’s main meal per adult meal.A cosy village pub where we have eaten many times and the food is always pretty good. Staff are friendly, if a bit frantic when trying to get meals out when busy. The chicken curry was deemed as excellent and ‘too much to eat’. I had a medium rib-eye steak (£13.95) which came out rather more well done than medium. A16oz rump steak (£14.95) was complimented on, all the choices in our party of seven were enjoyed with no complaints.Deserts were around £4.25 - a choice of about 5 - including banana split, various Salcombe ice creams, profiteroles (although had run out when we tried to order them), fresh raspberries and sticky toffee pudding.Tables can be reserved and dining is either in the bar area or up a few stairs on a mezzanine level.Service is a bit ad hoc and we waited 45mins to be served, but were warned when we booked that it would be busy.When we came to pay, we were charged for the child’s meal, being directed to a notice that said the offer only applied between 5-7pm. No mention of this on the sign outside nor were we advised on booking, but could have been a problem if eating there was conditional on getting the offer.When pointed out to the waitress, she apologised for the incomplete advice on the phone and for having to wait to be served.Overall, a good meal enjoyed by our party, although slightly dampened not getting the offer we were expecting.

Looks old fashioned. Bit of crazy paving decorating the bar and patterned busy carpets. Good central village site but more not far off. Food each day except Monday. Eat in and some takeaway. Check website for opening times. Only evenings early week but lunchtime as well over weekend. We found it convenient and friendly.
