Pyne arms in North Devon

We were staying for one night and enjoyed it so much we extended another night .exceptional rooms ,food and company,would highly recommend

Great location lovely pub friendly staff and excellent food. We are fairly local but decided to go a little bit further on our week off to try different places. Best meal of the week will be going back soon

This is our second visit and will definitely return when in the area again.It’s a great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming with great food.

What a gem of a place. A very interesting and varied menu, wonderful food and great wine by the glass. The service was excellent and the chef coped brilliantly with allergies.

Such a brilliant pub. Very warm welcome and excellent atmosphere. Only went for drinks but delicious looking food going to the tables.

Had a lovely Father’s Day lunch here. Very tasty food, plenty of it, nice and hot. Friendly and welcoming staff. Look forward to visiting again.

If you are looking for delicious food in a warm, typically English country pub, then look no further. As we ate, all we could hear were the other clientele exclaiming how fantastic their food was. The chef and the team really did a superb job when we visited. A perfect evening out for a hearty, yet refined meal with a terrific menu to choose from.

We have been going to the pyne arms for at least 12 years, we have watched Amy and Ellis grow and make this pub the best it is today, we have had many a meal there and have never had a bad time, meal etc. Amy and her staff are exceptional and always put them selves out to make you feel at home. And Ellis is an amazing chef. Both are qualified chefs and work so very hard to keep there food and pub to a very high standard. We stayed at the pub this time in the B& B for our 39th wedding anniversary. The rooms are beautifully decorated and are very comfortable and they are also dog friendly which is wonderful, we had such a lovely time celebrating our anniversary and would like to say Thank you very much ❤️

First time ant the Pyne Arms, have heard good things about and I can see why. Amazing food, service and setting. Can’t wait to go back. Thoroughly recommended.

Whenever we need a break or just want to wind down, this is our go to place. If you want to go somewhere for a perfect Sunday lunch, you can’t go wrong - always a warm welcome, consistently good value and high quality produce - it doesn’t take long to see why and how they win so many awards. It’s a busy, buzzy pub in a beautiful location with the added benefit of being dog friendly. We had the crispy chilli beef and smoked haddock arancini starters, followed by roast beef, roast chicken and a Pyne Arms burger. Somewhat greedily, we finished with treacle tart and custard. Our thanks to all the team for a lovely Sunday afternoon xx

Another amazing meal at The Pyne Arms. We visited for Mother’s Day and were greeted by the lovely landlady Amie with a thoughtful gift bag of homemade fudge (which was delicious!) and a very warm welcome. The roast beef was as always superb with their meat sourced from local farms and is fresh and high quality. The nut roast is a favourite of mine. Delicious desserts also. We also visited for Valentine’s Day, they had a special menu for the evening and it was truly one of the best meals we have ever had. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with just the right amount of noise level. For the very high quality and generous portion sizes the meals are good value. The food is consistently excellent, service is always wonderful and the staff are very welcoming. The location is stunning. We have become regulars at the pub (this is a long overdue review) since moving into the area two years ago and feel so lucky to have this on our doorstep! Would highly recommend a visit here. Thank you Pyne Arms!

We booked in for Sunday lunch with the family following local recommendations. Several of us had starters, which were all delicious. Most of our party chose roast beef, which was really tender and served with a great selection of fresh veg. The other dishes chosen were also excellent. The service was great and we can’t wait to return!

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere, great service and great food! Went following several recommendations from friends. We were a large group going out to celebrate a birthday and I can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals we've had locally in a very long time. We live in Combe Martin and I couldn't believe that I've never been to this lovely country pub before, we will defiently be back! Would like to thank all the staff for a lovely evening : )

Wow amazing 😮 great food 👌 lovely staff very helpful nothing was to much for them food was amazing 👏 will definitely be returning 😀

Omg what can I say,like every time we visit - its like meeting an old friend!the beef we had for lunch was to die for,my mum had the turkey (this was for mothers day) and where as turkey can be quite dry,she said it was beautiful. Now I always have the creme brulee as its my all time favourite and if i could have taken a batch home i would have!XxxX Thankyou to Amie, El and the team for again another fantastic meal and me and my mum had a fantastic mother's day with no washing up!!BONUS!! We will be back,if you haven't been yet then definitely put it on your list - you won't be disappointed!

The most lovely family run pub with the best atmosphere and unreal food! the menu is versatile for kids and adults and could not recommend to anymore more. amazing service from all staff they could not do more for us if they tried!! 10/10

Where do I start, we turned up and were greeted by really friendly and accommodating staff, the manager showed us to our table and sat us down! The pub was thriving and the atmosphere was great, although busy as being Mother’s Day we were really taken care of! My roast beef was sensational the best I’ve had, they did a smaller child size roast for the kiddies of our group and they ate every single bite, which says something with our little ones! Staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the dogs enjoyed laying by the fire! I honestly cannot recommend this pub enough, a real county feeling with fantastic food, drinks and staff! Thank you Pyne Arms, we will defiantly be back soon

popped into the pyne arms pub, after riding past on my horse a few times (was tempted to tie him up outside 🤣) Well, what a find! country pub meets foodie heaven! safe to say ill be regular there! Ended up having all three courses and they did not disappoint, I’ll be working my way down the menu next time!

We came here as a family of 7 for a Sunday Roast, the pub is warm and welcoming and cosy. It was busy even though it was a little later than lunch time and we were shown to our table. The staff were polite and helpful, brought us over drinks and took our order. All I can say is it was one of the best roasts we have had in a long time, tender beef, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and as we are big eaters we asked for extra vegs and they came out quickly. Food was hot and delicious, we shared some puddings and highly recommend the Brulee! The detail in this country pub is second to none, you can tell everything is carefully thought out and the customers experience is top of their list! Well done Pyne Arms...we will definitely be back!

Another excellent meal at the Pyne Arms, the food is consistently amazing and is why I keep going back! The cheese soufflé is to die for! The suet pudding was amazing too! If you want excellent food and service, combined with a cosy, welcoming pub environment, the Pyne Arms is the place to go!!! 5*****

An overall really disappointing visit after which we won't be returning. Booked Sunday lunch for Mother's Day - very overpriced and underwhelming food. To begin with, there appeared to be a total lack of organisation re. tables, with multiple staff coming over to take a drinks order, despite us having no drinks menus - although at this early stage it did not bother us too much. Starters - scotch egg okay and the best of our choices but does not warrant the price tag; sweet chilli beef fried to the point it was 'dusty' with virtually no beef left in it - would also expect some bread or other accompaniment to soak up the sauce; arancini okay, but truffle was lacking. At this stage though we were not to unhappy and still looking forward to our mains. Roasts - we had high expectations after previous visits, but after waiting around 45mins/1hour from starters (with two very young children), we wish we had left. Bland, overcooked, paper-thin beef (x2 slices), rubbery yorkshire puddings, extremely 'al dente' vegetables... a few members of our party decided to try the puddings, once again these were okay, but nothing to rave home about. Vanilla ice cream also tasted awful (something I never thought I'd say); luckily though, our kids will eat any ice cream and so it didn't go to waste. Probably the worst thing of all was the staff attitude, in particular, that from whom we take it to be the manager... rude, miserable, unwelcoming and not even a thank you after settling the rather hefty bill. Had asked a member of staff for a kids menu to be told they don't have one (family-friendly?!) but can make smaller roast portions and reeled off a few options - queried the prices as our children are much younger and have small appetites to which she said she'd return. 'Manager' came to take our order and when I explained I was waiting said very bluntly "what do you want to know". No attempt to ask how any of our food was, although it seemed that they weren't bothered anyway. As previous reviews have alluded, prices seem to have gone up whilst standards have dropped; it seems that they have become complacent with their offering. Many better options locally for the money and in places that appreciate your business.

Great atmosphere, varied menu and helpful friendly staff. My skate wing was delicious as were the Sea Bream, Steak Pudding and Pork Chops ordered by our guests.

Superb meal Food was fantastic Bass and scallop was the best My wife had the pork chop which was also good Also had the crispy beef was was nice and spicy Didn’t have a desert as was full

Whilst we are lucky enough to dine here often as our local pub, the food we had on valentines evening fully deserves its own review/recognition as this was our favourite menu yet! The selection on the menu for all three courses was fantastic and very...

Part of large booking on Sunday, amazing food and service. Great atmosphere. Will certainly be back. Large car park, and great location.

What a great roast great atmosphere and lovely service will definitely return!! From entering we were well looked after lovely staff friendly and nothing too much trouble

outstanding ! went to the Pyne arms for dinner with friends who recommended after previous visits - lovely evening ! food was amazing with a great menu and selection of beer and wines lovely setting and atmosphere would definitely recommend

Me and my partner have visited this place on numerous occasions, whether that be for a pint and Crisps after a long walk or a Sunday roast. It is nothing short of perfection. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in....

Absolutely Amazing!! The food here is the best food in the area. The Scotch egg is such an amazing starter I can never make my mind up!l, I normally choose two. No wonder there an award winning pub. The mains choice is so good with...

Went for dinner here this evening for my dad’s birthday, needless to say all five of us were very disappointed with the service and the food quality. The menu was very chaotic, from scotch eggs to scallops then curry and ox cheek pudding… all very...

Family Sunday lunch of 18. Being from the area was expecting good things from the Pyne Arms but was left thoroughly disappointed. Food was under seasoned, bland and overcooked. Was given a pre order menu and the Arancini turned out to be fish not mushroom...

We had a fabulous evening celebration at The Pyne Arms for 65 people. Amie listened to what we wanted and worked with chef to provide awesome food. The staff were lovely, very attentive and efficient. Very happy with all aspects and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

First time here having wanted to come for some time. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. I can’t fault this place and can’t wait to go back.

Yet another fantastic dining experience at the Pyne Arms. My sister was visiting so where better to go. The starters (crispy chilli beef and tempura coconut prawns were amazing. Two of us had the curry for mains and one had the Devon hommity pie. She...

What a little gem! Visited here for Saturday evening dinner with friends and had the most gorgeous food, served by the friendliest, loveliest staff. Really interesting menu and all our food perfectly cooked and beautifullly presented. Nothing was too much trouble Only wished we lived...

Visited with my family for dinner in October 2023. Great menu - made it difficult to choose what to eat! Lovely food, friendly staff and nice place. Easily the best place we ate during our week in Devon. Loved it.

Lovely staff. Great menu and second time we have visited this week. Very accommodating when I asked for two starters, rather than one main. Restricted diet !!!. No problem at all. Food was just great. Will be back next year xxx strongly recommended. Xxxx

Ill keep this short but truthful. AMAZING!!!!!!! I could say so much . Fabulous welcome, so well looked after by Amy and her chef husband Elis , Food was incredible. Room was spotless and incredibly comfortable. Our dog was truely spoilt and so loved. Thank...

Amazing food and excellent service, staff very friendly & welcoming. The pub itself was really cosy, awesome pictures and comfy chairs. Lovely location Coconut prawns starter and the Sea Bream risotto were superb.

Love this pub and restaurant but was allocated a terrible table next to fridges which meant frequent disturbances and weirdly lots of flies at last visit. Please treat families with kids as mainstream x

Fabulous village pub with delicious food and great staff. When you walk in, this place immediately feels welcoming and cosy. We had a delicious meal here and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. The menu is seasonal and changes regularly. Special mention to the crime...

Amazing amazing amazing. Had another fantastic meal here last night. Will be back again soon. Everything was just amazing

Overall, this was a great experience. Staff are lovely, very efficient and attentive. Roasted onion and potato soup was the best soup I’ve ever had. I ordered chicken and was a bit worried that it would be a little inside out drumstick Ballotine. I bought...

A return visit to the Pyne Arms and yet again we were not disappointed with either the choice/quality of the menu and the staff who were excellent. Our little dog was made more than welcome and we highly recommend visiting this great pub if you're...

Great food but don't leave your car in the carpark or you could end up with £2000 worth of vandalism. Went for Sunday lunch only to come out & see my car had been keyed, very upsetting for my wife & I. Told the owners...

Booked this restaurant after reading the many positive reviews. Staff friendly, starters very well presented and tasted lovely. However the roast themselves in our opinion had issues, with the roast potatoes undercooked and lacking flavour and the beef was over cooked

Lovely gastro pub set in Devon countryside. The pub is nicely decorated, with friendly staff. The food was excellent - I would definitely return.

Discovered this gastro pub on holiday and returned two days later it was so good. Diverse and interesting menu and all cooked to perfection. Lamb suet pudding melt in the mouth and cheese soufflé the best I have ever had. Wonderful food, excellent service. Will...

Different class. Top service and cracking food. Preferred the Colombard Sauvignon to the Sauvignon Blanc (on the two nights we ate there). The fish with smoked salmon risotto was rich and tasty. The chicken Ballantine was excellent as was fish and chips. Overall best food...

We were fortunate to be able to get in on the same day, with a dog. The wonderful surroundings & beautiful food was worth venturing off the beaten track to. We had 3 starters between 2 of us as they all sounded wonderful. The food...

Stayed here for one night and ate in the restaurant too. Beautifully furnished room with plenty of thoughtful touches including a little fridge for fresh milk. The evening meal couldn’t be faulted - perfectly cooked sole and fresh vegetables. Breakfast was easily the same with...

This is a great pub with fantastic hosts and food. The owners were so warm and welcoming and we both felt totally looked after. The food was amazing. My friend loves garlic bread which wasn’t on the menu but they bent over backwards and made...

Friendly and helpful staff Good range of food and drinks Local food and not the standard selection of dishes Well cooked and presented

I love visiting the Pyne Arms when I'm in North Devon. This time was no exception to my experience of very good dinners in this country pub. Not a place you would just chance upon, unless you are lost, it is worth making the trip....

Great food in comfortable, traditional ‘local’ pub. Wide selection of wines and local beers. Lovely setting to ‘get away from it’.

Probably one of the best pub meals we have enjoyed on the last 20 years. While it is not fine dinning it is right at the top end of pub food. Each of our starters and mains were without fault. The fish was cooked to...

Had a great night here catching up with family. Food and service were spot on. Menu was excellent with a very good choice. Everyone enjoyed their food and we thought it was excellent value. Thank you we will be back.

Been here before , but tonight we were disappointed that the portion sizes were so small , we had pork belly , just 1 small slither mainly crackling , for £17 which was very disappointing , the apple cake was tiny too and we left...

Amazing, cozy pub with fantastic staff. The food was absolutely spot on - full of flavour and perfect in every way. I have seen comments about portion size - a little harsh I think - just order some more if you are hungry. We will...

Another fab night’s stay with an amazing dinner. Always friendly and warm with delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.

I have visited this pub a few times in the last few years have had nothing bad to say on anything. A party of 10 of us visited on Wednesday evening. The waiter took us straight to our table and within minutes returned to ask...

Stumbled across this place looking for an evening meal. Absolutely amazing food and a true gastro pub. The Lamb Suet pudding was gorgeous! Lovely, friendly staff and nice service. Highly recommended!!

Four years ago I described their Sunday roast as the best I had had.. four years on and it's still as good.

Second visit this week. Friends came with us on Weds and were so full, they needed a good walk next day! Just me and hubby tonight. They have the most amazing Malbec which is so smooth and not budget blowing. We had 3 courses each...

We visited the Pyne Arms based on a recommendation and enjoyed a great evening there. The food and drinks were excellent, with good portion sizes attractively arranged. We’ll definitely visit again the next time we are in the area.

Excellent meal this evening. Large portions of delicious Turkey or beef roast and puddings. Easily reheated. Fully recommend.

Fully booked but fitted us in one word Amazing the lady who owns the pub was so helpful even though they were so busy

We have stopped at The Pyne Arms on four occasions and have never been disappointed. The two rooms are beautifully decorated and very well appointed with the usual tea and coffee making facilities and a large bottle of water, very welcome during the recent hot...

We enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Pyre Arms. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and efficient. Would 100% recommend.

Highly recommend staying here . Very welcoming. Rooms were lovely and clean and the food was amazing! Great cocktails . Look forward to coming back many thanks .

Visited twice, at the start and end of our holiday and it did not disappoint. The food is of an extremely high standard and the service is both friendly and efficient. The pub is a little off the beaten track but well worth a visit.

Although we're locals to the area we hadn't visited the Pyne Arms before, however following many recommendations from friends and family we decided to visit last Saturday and we we're extremely impressed. The food was fantastic (all home cooked and great sized portions!), the service...

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here! The pub itself was beautiful and the food was lovely. Great service and we were very well looked after, including our dog!

First rate friendly service, to start my passion fruit margarita was terrific. I had a yummy cheeseburger that came with a tomato chutney which really made the meal, with crispy outside, soft inside (yum!) chips. My hubby had a delicious pan roasted sea bass over...

We have visited many pubs in the area and the food here is the best we have had. A relaxed, friendly atmosphere and with great kids food options too. The setting is in a valley in a small village which adds to the charm. The...

Went for Sunday lunch. Both the beef and the pork were excellent. Though highlight was the starters. We had Scotch egg, chicken liver pâté and fish cakes. All equally delicious. Service from all the staff was friendly and efficient. A perfect lunch all round.

Staying in the local area for the Bank Holiday weekend and booked the Pyne Arms based on the reviews...and wow what a find. Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Service 10/10 Weather 0/10 Well you can't have it all!!! Go you won't be disappointed!!!

We had been recommended The Pyne Arms and read it's reviews and were not dissappointed. We were assured there was wheelchair access when booking and when we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful and kind. One of us had the signature dish...

Have still not been contacted by the Pyne Arms re seeing a menu. Are you supposed to visit and then get to see the menu or are they reprinting their menu on the back of the publicity of their award ?

We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. A true country pub atmosphere where all staff smiling, friendly and very attentive. Our room was 5 star. Warm, clean and very homely. All decorated and furnished to a high standard. we could not have asked...

Had a very good meal at this pub in small Devon back road village. Good choice of interesting dishes. Well worth the trip. If only the chef didn’t just serve chips with everything!! Be a little more adventurous with other carbs to match the quality...

Wanted a nice place to eat during a long weekend in North Devon, and spotted this place online. Booked online and had confirmation email and a reminder too, which is always reassuring. It is off the beaten track, but was busy when we arrived. The...

A truly lovely place to eat. Great food as always. We have eaten here a number of times and always been impressed. Bar is well stocked with a good wine list. Each plate of food is well presented and you can see the attention to detail. Great value for money for food of this quality and would highly recommend a visit to this off the beaten path hidden gem.

We called in on the off chance that they would have a room for two for that night (having been let down by another venue which we had pre booked). The staff could not have been more accommodating. They very quickly allocated us their last room for the night and squeezed us in a table for food on a very busy Saturday night. The room was superb - great character and immaculate. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Transformed a bad experience of travelling in wind and rain to (find our original accommodation was not available) to end on a high at this delightful venue.

I would like to dine at Pyne Arms but would like to see a menu up on their website. I have contacted them twice but still not menu. It surely shouldn't be up to fellow diners to photo their menu and put it up on Trip Advisor. I look forward to the Pyne Arms answering.

Wonderful food. Great ambience. The cod was great. The ox cheeks divine. The lemon sponge with meringue icecream a great finish. Our menu was part of the Exmoor Food Fest.

You will not eat better food anywhere else in N Devon. A fantastic meal for my family (including my two boys- 9 and 12). Superb staff, great beer and food that you won’t beat. Love, love , love it. I’d share picture but clean plates aren’t that interesting!

Enjoyed a fantastic evening meal, everything we had was to a high standard and beautifully presented while also being great value. Always nice to find great new places to eat locally in an area plagued by copy cat nachos and pizzas.

We have never been to the Pyne Arms but had found very favourable reviews from a variety of sources and were staying nearby so booked ahead. The menu had a wide variety of choices so we selected items which we had not chosen recently. We were not disappointed, we would recommend the Pyne Arms to anybody.

Sunday roast was superb in every way. Pheasant scotch eggs, perfectly cooked beef sourced from a few miles up the road - simply excellent. Given the issues local hospitality businesses are facing, the service was smooth and quick and the staff were excellent.

Cooked the meal to perfection..every course. Perfect. Last minute pop in and was very welcoming .. Dont miss this place.. Chilli beef nacho... ox cheek..passion fruit posset with raspberry sorbet..yum

Food was fabulous and same for service. Managed to get a table for four as walk ins they gave us a lovely table staff very attentive and food was fabulous Every course was cooked to perfection Some of the best food I’ve had Nikki Kent

We stayed for one night at the Pyne arms, but will definitely return. Amie is the perfect host!The room was so clean and contemporary with a lovely comfy bed.The dinner was just amazing and breakfast was perfect. Local gins available too!If you are in the are do stop, you won’t be disappointed!

Sunday Lunch. Everything was perfect. Very good Service, especially from the young chap with the red hair! We will be back soon.

Visited for evening meal whilst on holiday. Gluten free options, high chair for baby and happy to have well behaved dog on a lead. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was lovely and portion sizes very good. Happy to visit again. Thank you.

We have enjoyed wonderful evenings, either just the two of us, or with friends & family, four, six or eight to have a fabulous meal with excellent service...NEVER disappointed.Recently after a flat battery on the car when we returned the next morning, the team there were stunningly helpful in getting us back on the road. EXCEPTIONAL additional service

Booked 3 weeks ago well worth the wait!This place really does deliver great service and food .From being greeted until we left it was very good indeed.Nothing was too much trouble and and the young gentlemen that served us was spot on.If we lived local for sure would have this on our list of favourites.Well done to all!

Had a wonderful family lunch in the Pyne Arms toady. We sat outside in lovely weather. Food was delicious enjoying a main and dessert. Drawn to the pub on a recommendation but also because we had our dog who was warmly welcomed. We had to eat outside which we wanted to do anyway. Staff were really lovely and Covid aware/secure. We’ll eat there again (and possibly stay in the B&B rooms) Highly recommended.

Warm welcome, efficient service and delicious food! Possibly the best baked Camembert I've ever had! The children loved their meals and the dog was also made welcome and relaxed too. Beautiful views of the nearby countryside.

First Time Visit Sat night will definitely go back. Food was fresh and service was very good . Good value, can’t wait to go back
