The food and service from Justin and Julia are fantastic. They are consistently brilliant. The food is warm and hearty and although the menu is extensive, each meal is of the same quality as the next. Last night we ate the Mediterranean carrots, mushrooms in Stilton, fantastic fish pie (Julia’s nan’s recipe), massive lamb chops and pork fillet and they were all beautiful. Try your best to leave room for dessert but if you don’t have room, order one anyway… You’ll want it once it’s there.

Spending 4 nights in the area with my husband and son. We booked dinner t the New Inn for our 1st evening. It was so good we came on our last night too! Justin and Julia were extremely welcoming and it was difficult to choose from the varied menu. Absolutely delicious, fresh home cooked food and large portions. Starters, mains and desserts all amazing. Booking advised.

I honestly can’t even begin to tell you how great this place is. We have been coming since 2018 and always visit whenever we are in the area. This visit it was my birthday and we were treated to some incredible food. My favourite ever main course was a braised pork chop in a leek and bacon sauce… WOW! It melted in the mouth. Everything is cooked to perfection, piping hot and tasty. Service is incredible. My favourite place to dine!

Tried this lovely little pub on Saturday evening for dinner. Intended on only having 1 course, but it all looked so gorgeous we went the whole hog. I had the mushroom and Stilton popper for starter which was beautiful, my husband had the home made mackerel pate which was so tasty. Followed by sweet potato curry and Cajun chicken, both were delicious. We were nearly defeated but couldn’t resist sharing a gorgeous homemade pavlova for afters. Highly recommended . Thankyou

Wow!! This place was absolutely incredible. It happened to be pretty much next door to the air bnb we were staying in, so we thought we'd try it out without any real expectations. But we were SO impressed by the food and service that we went back again a couple of nights later. They have a really great menu with so much choice and it's all completely home made and with locally sourced products. The portions are HUGE so make sure you turn up hungry and be sure to book in advance as it fills up really quickly!

This gem of a pub/restaurant absolutely 'made' our break to Barnstaple area recently. It is almost tucked away and you would never believe such great food would be served here. The owners are really lovely and the food produced by the lady chef is outstanding and excellent value. They don't even have a menu, just a chalkboard with the dishes on it which the owner explains in detail. Amazing dishes such as rabbit, cottage pie with venison or whatever has been sourced that day. We ate there for 3 nights and had 6 different dishes all of which were delicious and very good value. Can't speak highly enough of it. A tiny suggestion would be to vary the vegetables perhaps? Believe the 5 star reviews of this place, it is great. My only regret is missing the chicken and spring onion pie! Can recommend the pavlova dessert, yum. Eat your heart out Tom Kerridge. This is what proper decent pub food should be.

Booked here on a Monday thinking we may be just among a couple of people and why book for a Monday? We had the best experience EVER Do not be deceived by the narrow roads and tight access to car park Beautiful, cosy country inn . Warm and welcoming. Proprietor and lady waiting member of staff so courteous and helpful. Menu on a board as it changes frequently. The proprietor explained the choices that may be unfamiliar like cottage pie made with venison and goat curry to name but two. All food is home made! I settled for chicken dijon and spring onion pie.Large oval dish crammed with chicken thigh meat ,petite pois peas in a wonderful creamy sauce! Covered with a lid of crispy pastry and served with a separate dish of new potatoes, carrots and broccoli. My husband had a large cajun chicken breast, salad garlic mayo and a seperate huge portion of crispy fat chips. All the food was beautifully cooked and served piping hot For dessert I had,sticky toffee pudding and ice cream…..the toffee sauce was to die for!!! My hubby had a large choux bun filled with a caramel cream and covered with a dark chocolate sauce which he told the landlord was not big enough ,because he wanted to eat it again! The whole meal was excellent. If ever we visit Devon and Barnstaple again, we will make a bee line for Goodleigh and The New Inn.

When you visit a pub often you can take it for granted and get used to high standards of good food and service. Then you go away and have an indifferent experience and you appreciate what you can enjoy often. And so it is with The New Inn , always a new item ot two on the ever changing menu, served hot and fresh every time. Justin and Julia always make you very welcome and notice when your glass is nearly empty! Currently on the menu is a venison pie which is delicious., highly recommended.

Amazing food Thankyou! Good home cooked food ,we dined here to celebrate a special birthday last night and the food was incredible. The owner came to the table to go through the menu, he explained each and every dish, - I can thoroughly recommend the poached carrots seeped in a wonderful Moroccan style dressing, chickpeas and herbs and spices, this was my starter followed by the best moussaka I have ever tasted. The minced lamb was cooked to perfection inside an aubergine casing. Mmmmmm I refrained from a dessert as I have to watch my sugar intake but the desserts that came out looked just lush! You need to book if you wish to eat but once there you are greeted in a wonderful Devon hospitable way. My sons eat frequently there as they live in the next village and the prices are very reasonable given the quality and quantity for each dish. There is a lovely warm real fire and the pub building is seeped in history, someone has even done a researched genealogy and pinned it up on the notice board. Parking can be awkward as the carpark is at the rear down a very narrow road but there is spaces in the carpark. We can thoroughly recommend you try this gem of a pub. 5•••••

Justin was so friendly and helpful and was there just when you needed a refill or needed something, but wasn't in your face. We had a variety of starters, mains and desserts and we had adults and teenage boys with us as well as the dog. The portion sizes were very generous and the veg was cooked to perfection. Every single meal was delicious and the flavours were gorgeous. This is a great place to eat and if we are in the area, we will definitely return.

Visited The New Inn with my family and had a wonderful meal. We all had different meals off of the fantastic menu, including starters and desserts. Everybody was extremely happy with their meals, and the service and atmosphere was spot on. Justin and Julia were extremely friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again for sure.

First meal of our week in Devon and what a start. Lovely pub, friendly greeting and the service was excellent. Meal for my wife and I on a busy Saturday evening. Started with one portion of the prawns in garlic butter for my wife and I had the homemade mackerel pate with sourdough bread. Very tasty and beautifully cooked. Main courses were one portion of veal and one special of crab and macaroni cheese. Both excellent again, well cooked and seasoned, quality ingredients.We shared a choux bun for pudding - devine chocolate experience.I then encountered an overly reasonable bill, I even thought I had been undercharged.What a fabulous place, run by friendly people offering great service and good food at a good price. Long may they continue..Thank you!

We walked here for an evening meal while staying at Coombe Farm B&B, with our three teenage children. The menu had a good range (nicely talked-through by the owner) with some daily specials - all home-cooked. The kids really enjoyed the steak, the chicken and leek pie and the macaroni cheese - and they are normally picky eaters! The cod in a mild curry sauce was great too. We boldly went for puddings which were delicious but be warned, they are big! - the pavlova and the profiterole were especially tasty. Our bill came to £125 including drinks - not so cheap for 5, but excellent value we thought considering the impressive standard of food.

We visit the local area quite frequently and as soon as lockdown eased we had to make sure we visited our favourite haunt. This time I had the chicken liver parfait, AMAZING! The spinach and ricotta dish next was stunning and followed by a fork favourite the lemon posset. Justin and Julia are fantastic, they make you feel so welcomed and at home. Every dish made is homemade and delicious. Thanks again, we will be back!

We went as a family and I have to say everything we all had just superb. The kids both had steaks cooked perfectly, I had the parfait then mussels which were truly amazing. I couldn't fit in a desert but the kids had 2 amazing looking dishes which were both gobbled up. We will definitely be going back there again soon. PS I had a few 'Proper Job' IPAs which were lovely too. I can highly recommend it and it also felt very Covid safe, great as an elderly gent.

We had a fabulous meal. Best steak I have had in a long while. Super friendly service and great selection of wine. The crab macaroni and the parfait also get a special mention.

We went on the wettest October day on record and our evening here mor ethan redeemed the day for us. Goodleigh is a fair way outside Barnstaple especially on a dark and very wet night but it was well worth the effort. We parked immediately outside.This is very much a family owned pub/restaurant and it showed in both the entertaining, pleasant attentiveness of the service and the quality of the food. We shared a baked Camembert as a starter (kindly served without garlic as requested). My partner had the moussaka and I had the trio of Lamb chops . We then shared a choux bun which was superb - so I ate most of it. The portions were generous and the meal including drinks was just £67 for the two of us which seemed very good value. We would very happily return.

Such a fantastic safe environment during these times and you can tell that the menu not only uses local produce but all serves local recipes. I am not aware of any other pub/ restaurant that does this so well.

First class setting, service and food. Whilst all Covid norms observed, not at all intrusive and a reminder of what a good pub and good homemade food is all about.

... the welcome is warm and homely. The menu is incredible. Ham hock was so tasty, mackerel pate, light and delicious. Trio of chops, specially cut are cooked to order perfectly. Two beautiful pheasant breasts, veg and chips. Nothing is too much trouble. We squeezed a creme brulee & a crumble. Go hungry as portions are generous and save space for desserts! Great Covid security too.

Just wow. Every time we are in the surrounding area we always make sure to book in and it NEVER disappoints. Justin with his repertoire of the menu and Julia in the kitchen. Just incredible. I’m yet to chose something that isn’t fantastic taste wise. Everything is homemade and the service is brilliant. You won’t be disappointed

Justin and Julia made us feel so welcome and the food was first class. Not your average ‘pub fare’ here. Everything thing we ordered was delicious. We tried to book in a second night, we enjoyed it so much, but understandably they were fully booked.

Starters, main courses and dessert were excellent. The menu is very good with lots of choice , we really didn't know what to pick. The veal, prawns, fish,stuffed fig in parma ham and the waffle were very tasty. Service is brilliant , with the host explaining the the menu to you which was a nice touch. Will definitely return if we're anywhere near again.

We booked this pub ahead of our trip to Devon to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived the service was so friendly. Felt very safe with the covid rules with all the tables socially distanced and the hand sanatiser on entry. The food was on a blackboard so no need to touch a menu. The fig and goat cheese starter was amazing - probably the best starter i have tasted. The main course was beautifully cooked - my only disappointment was there was no room for a desert!. Would definately recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Absolutely fantastic. We were given an afternoon tea for a present and Caffyns Farm was the closest for us in Plymouth. The food was amazing, and very generous portions too, we came home with a doggy bag. There's a lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere, all the staff were absolutely lovely and it's very clean and tidy. Only criticism is that the toilets are upstairs (i walk with crutches). They also offer camping facilities and horse riding, not to mention feeding the goats in Goat Cafe lol while admiring the gorgeous views. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere nice, chilled and peaceful. Was well worth the 2 hour drive. Will definitely be going back in the future 😊😊

Excellent food, very imaginative, tasty and colourful. We had a small portion of savoury waffles (sweet potato), one with avocado, tahini, cumin and lime juice, the other with hummus, black beans and jalapeños. And kombucha to drink. This was our second visit and won’t be the last. Thank you for a memorable lunch.
