Tarr Farm Restaurant in Teignbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food and staff good but allowed far too many dogs into it's small restaurant. It was a wet day and the whole restaurant had the smell of wet dog. The 8 dogs were alsatians and collies accompanying two groups of people. Dogs had their noses up to the tables and the owners were petting the dogs then putting their hands on the tables. There were more dogs than people in the restaurant when we left. It was inconsiderate of the two owners to expect to take a group of four dogs each and it was negligent of the owner to allow the opportunity in the first place. Absolutely awful and I shall never return.

Revolting Sunday roast topped off with a hair in my Yorkshire pudding followed by rude member of staff. Beautiful pub in wonderful setting. Good kids food and nice drink. However the beef roast dinner was very disappointing. I was willing to overlook the truly suboptimal roast dinner of; undercooked beef, not-at-all-crispy- roast potatoes, dull vegetables and bizarre and disgusting creamy in taste, texture and colour gravy but on finding a (suspiciously short and curly) hair woven into the interior batter of my Yorkshire pudding was a bridge too far. Discreetly I complained, was offered another roast, decided on a child’s portion. Then decided in actual fact that I felt sick at the thought of eating more hairy and creamy gravy bad food. Another member swiftly and efficiently gave me the refund of £14.50. However when I came back into the bar to use the ladies I walked into the sounds of original staff member giving me a slagging off to another staff member behind the bar. Hence the review. Rude. Revolting food. Should be the best roast dinner ever considering the location.

On July 19th the sun was shining so we decided to visit Tarr Steps. Having made most of the descent from the carpark, we couldn't help but bump into this hotel & restaurant, so decided to have lunch before exploring the steps and the river Barle surroundings. The pub was already full, so we sat outside having ordered a couple of baguettes – one with bacon, brie & cranberry, the other with rump steak, fried onions & vine tomato, plus a side order of fries to share. The quality of the fillings was superb and plentiful, cooked to perfection. The fries were hot & crisp. Service was good and staff were friendly and helpful. The setting was a delight with small birds hopping around in and out of a hedge, and the soothing murmur of the river below completed the idyllic setting.

Had gone to investigate Tarr Steps and had the added bonus of finding this gem. Being the weekend and Sun the place was v busy, so a bit of a wait to order but actually v prompt service after that. Had the Sun Roast- Beef, for the price was really v good and a good size helping, good beer selection and then the added bonus of live music which was a fine way to relax in the afternoon sunshine. I imagine later in the Summer it will get busier and potentially difficult to find seating / order, dropping in as I did but today all my stars aligned!

Cream tea delight Good value and a lovely brew with 2 scones per person. Lovely place and inquisitive finches dropping by for some crumbs, even take it out of the palm of your hands, lovely treat.

We visited Tarr Farm Inn on Monday 4th September with a group of friends. (all from Kent) We were on holiday and had been here before. There were 5 of us in the group and 3 had already placed their orders, we were next in line to place our order but were then told that the kitchen was closed and holding orders for the next 20 minutes. We explained that we were with the people in front of us in the queue but were told we couldnt place our order yet. All we wanted were baguettes. Subsequently half our party received and ate their food while we sat and watched. After airing our views to the young gentleman who served the food, he went back and asked if we could place our order yet. Finally, after the rest of our party had finished their food, we were able to order ours, even though by that time, we were all ready to leave for the day. Although the food was tasty, we felt this treatment of us was a little unnecessary letting only half of our party eat at one time.

Staying nearby we had this restaurant recommended for dinner. They offer food from two menus a bar menu in their main bars, outside if weather permits and a separate menu in their restaurant area. We booked the restaurant area, and I would recommend booking if you can as the whole venue was busy and that on a Tuesday night. I suspect a number of the dinners where staying overnight….at least judging by their alcohol intake I hoped so! The food was excellent in terms of quality, portion size and presentation. An evening helped along by an efficient and friendly serving team. We had three courses, all plates where returned empty. The restaurant menu was much the same as the one on line, so they are clearly focusing on a few well prepared dishes. An extensive wine list was available…sadly we were driving. The food merited a five star rating but I’ve reduced this down as the restaurant had a very dated feel to it…I suspect they want it that way, but I felt it could do with a little upgrade.

Excellent spot for lunch when our walking. We were on a circular walk from Dulverton and got to Tarr Steps at lunchtime. The setting is great, just a few paces from the clapper bridge. As it was raining we ate inside but outside seating would be great in dry weather. The food was fine quality - my burger was clearly homemade and tasty. Very comfortable bar area. Staff efficient and friendly.

We called in here for some lunch today and it was very tasty. Nice kids choices and vegetarian choices. All the food was tasty, especially the sticky toffee pudding.

Food above average. Presentation, building and ambience great. Location outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed and would come again. Recommended.

We had an excellent meal in this lovely restaurant. Everything was top notch and we will definitely return. Food was delicious and the service excellent. A little gem of a place in a beautiful setting.

After walking over the steps and following the track we decided to have a drink with our dog. The restaurant is in a lovely situation, overlooking the Park. Service was quick and the tea cakes were hot and a good size.

We stopped at this pub for refreshments after visiting Tarr Steps. The outside seating is very quaint, tables made from what looks like slate, with little wooden benches. Unfortunately our tea cakes were a little too toasted, but it was a nice spot to take a breather before the walk back to the main car park.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Seating available outside overlooking the river and Iron age clapped bridge. Dog friendly establishment including accommodation, we only are here but would definitely recommend.

The table was ours for the evening so while it was still light, we took the opportunity to go down to Tarr Steps, the clapper bridge. We had a lovely meal. Staff were welcoming and great service. Relaxed atmosphere.

We turned up on New Year's day for lunch with no booking and there was no problem getting a table (though we arrived early and it was busy when we left). Two veggie options on the main course menu which was great - as well as sandwiches. My chickpea burger was delicious. Kids menu was good and portions were generous.

Good to be offered gluten free scones. Good coffee. A bit damp sitting outside on the day we visited.

We had to sit inside as outside was busy but that was no hardship - what a quaint pub. We stopped for an afternoon tea and were not disappointed - unfortunately though our eyes were bigger than our bellies and two scones each was too much - they were delicious but massive. The staff were friendly and mask wearing, they had a one way system in place inside too. We are just disappointed we found this place at the end of our holiday so we couldn't revisit for an evening meal as I am sure we'd have been more than impressed.

Had a superb meal, well cooked and presented. I Had the Fish ,my wife the duck option. Both were delicious. Staff were very attentive. Thank you all. Andy

We had booked into Tarr Farm for two nights which meant being able to savour a meal in the restaurant each evening. Besides the main menu there was also a Special" menu consisting of a starter and main dish. The restaurant looked very attractive and each table had a vase of lowers. The food was well cooked and enjoyable. Breakfast on our first morning was very efficient, but the second morning we had sat at a table for 15 minutes waiting to be served but then asked if we would move asthe table was laid for dinner! We of course hadn't noticed this at all. When we were finally served, the guy seemed somewhat haphazard and couldn't seem to understand that I wanted my toast either with or after my cooked breakfast, and certainly not with my yoghurt and fruit compote! The beauty too with staying at the Inn, is that it is so close to the famous Tarr Steps. The Inn is open all day for food and snacks and there is also a bar open for food in the evenings.

Amazing food in an idyllic setting. We sat outside for a pretty dinner drink and could hear the stream running in the background. We both had pigeon breast with blue cheese and walnuts for starter then Exmoor lamb and pork for mains. All dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented. We were very impressed with both the food and service and wouldn’t hesitate to return

I had a lovely gluten free cream tea this afternoon., it was exceptional. I sat outside at one of the stone tables with idyllic views of the bridge, and I could hear the river and birdsong. The scones were warm and came with a generous amount of cream and jam. Service was very quick. I was on my own but I was soon joined by butterflies, a robin, a blackbird, sparrows and chaffinches, including one that tried to get into the sugar bowl. I don't think the experience could have been any better. Thank you

Superb food, great quality, cooked and presented with care, best sticky toffee pudding and toffee sauce we have ever had! Caesar salad with juicy chicken, real anchovies and home made croutons was delicious. Local sausage and mash-perfect, fish pie generous and just right. Best food for miles around. A wonderful discovery if you love good food. Lovely setting and well worth a visit. Good value for excellent quality. Very impressed

Lovely steak bap with chips. Much needed. Quick service. Bit disappointed to be told on the telephone the day before that there were no tables available to book inside. We noticed on the day that it was very quiet inside.

one of the nicest meals we have had in a great location. can recommend the steak and banana parfait!

Great dinner, nice place right by Tarr steps. Had kids menu options too. Lots of Covid precautions in place.

Really great food and service - could not be faulted. The "Walkers Rolls" are sublime, and so are the chips !! Oh, and did i mention the vanilla cheesecake ! My word......

we stayed here last weekend and the food and service was excellent. The bar and the restaurant are lovely, with tasteful decor and tasty, well presented local produce and an excellent wine list. Beautiful setting near the river. Diana.

We were staying at Lakeside Lodges about 20mins away which are also managed by the Tarr Farm team.Wonderful garden location looking down to Tarr Steps and the river. Tables can be booked inside too.We had Chicken Tikka and a Chicken Caesar salad...both excellent...as were the house wines.Well recommended.

Visited this week for a fantastic walk across the Tarr steps and along the river. One of the most beautiful spots ever. Lunch here afterwards in their garden. Yummy rolls with delicious fillings. Highly recommended!!

lovely food at a good price. sat in the garden with lovely views, and when the rain came down the staff helped us to another table with more cover so our baby didn't get drenched. it's the ideal mix of good food and service, but unfussy and friendly. hope to come back soon, thanks guys

Lovely views from the garden and terrace . Lockdown outside eating well executed . Lovely staff . We had a super Chicken Caesar salad , ice cream and coffees . Very enjoyable . Bonus , vert tame wild birds

Walked down from Liscombe Farm Cottages on two different walks and stopped for refreshments each time. Great find, well managed Covid-wise, my wife's favourite beer (Exmoor Gold), friendly and good atmosphere outside.The garden is very dog-friendly, so much so that nervous dogs may find the amount of other dogs an issue.The food was good, but pricey compared to Cornwall.The location right next to Tarr Steps was ideal. We want to stay here for a weekend when the Covid situation gets beaten back.

My partner and I have just had the best chilli con carne we’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious. The big restaurant / pub is in an absolutely lovely spot overlooking the river and it has a great welcoming feel to it. The staff are super friendly too. Would highly recommend going there.

We ate lunch on a sunny terrace very near the steps themselves. Food was fresh, high quality, and service was exemplary. Beers on offer from St Austell, including the excellent house bitter "Tarr". Indoor tables limited by Covid rules, but can be booked. Outdoors, first-come first-served. Dog friendly. Swallows and house martins nesting in the eaves, but expect wasps in high summer.

Just had the most superb dinner at this location with some very good friends. The food was outstanding and the setting & atmosphere of this Inn is quite beautiful. Our evening was made however by meeting Hannah who served us. We all commented among ourselves on her high level of energy & efficiency which truly enhanced our experience. I would highly recommend for quality of food,location,ambience but especially the hard working & truly welcoming staff. We all hope to be back very soon.

We ate here whilst on holiday. We were warmly greeted by our waitress and nothing was too much trouble. She was helpful, polite, friendly and cheerful ! We had a lovely table over looking the river. The food was delicious and the desserts AMAZING. Looking forward to visiting again in the not too distant future.

Excellent food and wonderful setting. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was absolutely fantastic. This is a real hidden gem only yards away from the wonderful and historical setting of the clapper bridge. An out of the way treasure serving high quality local produce and well deserving of the accolades it has received. Would I recommend this restaurant - yes on every level

Managed to book a table in this Covid nightmare. Food excellent and service efficient and friendly. Tables in the restaurant suitable distanced making for a relaxed experience.

This was our first trip away after lockdown, so was feeling a little apprehensive about COVID 19 and how this would effect us staying away from home. We. need not of worried. The room was very clean, and we felt very reassured by measures that the management have put in place. The only thing negative thing was that we thought that the rooms we stayed in, are now a little dated and could do with a little bit of modernisation, but this doesn’t effect your stay. The best bit was the delicious food- staff we really friendly and attentive. All the food was locally sourced, and you could really tell, it made all the difference. Homemade puddings excellent. Breakfast was also very good. Lovely walking all around, and beautiful area.

Wow what a great place, middle of Exmoor by the ancient Tarr Steps, this wonderful restaurant offers superb, well cooked, food and first class service.

We were told about this little tea place while staying at Exmoor House campsite. Went on a hike to find it. Best homemade scones ever with homemade jam, clotted cream and a lovely big pot of tea. Sat overlooking the garden watching the birds. Well worth the walk.

After a long walk round the Tarr Steps and local woods and river You find this pub and a fine menu Local foods and ales Clean and cozy

We had booked for a late lunch after a family walk on a dank and cloudy autumn Sunday. We were straightaway welcomed into a warm and cosy atmosphere without fuss or pretension and shown to our table.A short menu and specials from the board all showed care and attention from the kitchen with a range of tastes and flavours. Service was relaxed and friendly. We had a great lunch thank you, you're worth it !ps good coffee

We stopped hereafter walking in the rain for a few hours on two occasions. All for of us had lunches which were really lovely. Staff were very accommodating as everyone including us on one day were soaked through. Dogs welcome which is great.

Really friendly pub Great outdoor seating are with a view of the famous Tarr steps Good service and great for gluten free Well worth a visit and very dog friendly too

Great food! Great coffee! Friendly staff! In a wonderful location. What more could we ask. Oh yes, and they do toasted tea Cakes!

Perfectly position for a visit after Tar Step. Couldn't fault the food, drink or service. Would recommend.

Lovely place to sit outside with a view. Very pleasant wine, excellent chips (an enormous portion for one between three!) very good smoked duck starter as a small lunch and great BLT in a very light bun. Really enjoyable.

Came here on a whim after a rainy walk by the Tarr Steps and was absolutely blown away by the quality of our meals. I ordered the vegetarian chickpea burger which turned out to be the best veggie burger I have ever eaten anywhere. From the homemade crispy buns, the amazing chutney and the yummy burger not to mention the perfectly cooked crisps, it was just amazing. Equally the kids meals were beautiful and a really good size too. Thank you!

We visited on a bank holiday weekend and the area was very busy with visitors. My wife and I both chose sandwiches which were tasty and enjoyable. The surroundings were lovely and we sat outside in the ample seating. There were bean bags available if you wanted them. There was a good choice of beers. Staff were very friendly. This place does cater for dogs.

Lovely place everyone was very friendly and the food was nice we just thought it was a bit overpriced for what we had . Don’t think we’ll return in a hurry .

We cut short our walk at the Tarr Steps due to the rubbish weather. We hadn’t planned on eating at Tarr Farm Inn, so hadn’t booked. The place itself is very charming, cosy and welcoming. We ordered and the food arrived at an acceptable waiting time. My husband had the steak, I had chicken, my eldest had a burger and youngest ordered chicken from the children’s menu. All four meals were great. Tasty, well presented and as described. The staff there were helpful and friendly. The loos were clean with baby changing facilities, decent loo paper and hand soap. There is accommodation, and based on my experience in the restaurant, I’d love to go back and stay there one day. Highly recommend.

Stopped at the Tarr Farm Restaurant after a very pleasant wallk along the river. The cream tea consisted of two scones and a large pot of jam and clotted cream. It certainly rounded of a perfect day.

Eight family went today for lunch. The food was delicious. Plenty of choice. Service was excellent. Especially as they were busy. The chips are amazing and the sticky toffee pudding. Everyone enjoyed it. Thankyou. Tarr Farm.

Lovely view from the garden but delicate scones let down by too small a pot of cream and industrial red jam.

Friendly pub at a beautiful location by the river. We enjoyed cream tea, coffees and beers. Lovely outside seating area

Always well kept beer and an interesting wine list, but the food is always delicious here as well. Staff are friendly and even with a very large party of people in the private dining room, they looked after us beautifully. We will return again soon.

We intended walking our dogs for the first time at Tarr Steps but to find this wonderful, cosy restaurant some yards from the river and clapper bridge was an added bonus. After a two hour walk we were glad to sample one of the biggest and best pots of tea we have tasted for a long time accompanied by a scrumptious cream tea! We would love to stay here and dogs are most welcome we learned.

Excellent food, good, fast service. Staff were excellent. The Oak Dining Room is superb, but the bar and outside areas are equally inviting. Cannot wait to return

We wanted to visit Tar Steps and were told that it would be worth popping into this place for a coffee so we weren't expecting too much. However, this is much bigger, has a couple of bars and a restaurant and has accommodation. Its beautifully located right next to Tar Steps which is worth a visit in its own right. Plenty of space to sit outside in the garden if its nice weather which we did. Menu was good and the wild mushroom, asparagus and rocket pasta was amazing. We will be going back to support one of the many events that they are putting on in the coming months.

Visited while on holiday. It's a bit of a trek to get to but the food is worth it. It all seemed to be freshly cooked and the menu was interesting and varied. The only negative was that we found the service a bit patchy. On entering via the bar area we waited to be spoken to till the staff had finished talking to dogs belonging to other patrons. After that it was ok but when we finished our desserts no one came to clear the table and we ended up going to the bar to pay. They obviously take paying guests and we felt a little side lined.

We ate here twice during a 5 night stay in Withypool. Once in the restaurant and once in the bar. The food is the same in the bar and restaurant. Food was excellent as was the service by friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

The Tarr Farm restaurant has a stunning location. we had a stay in the self catering and eat in the pub part of the building. The staff and the food were excellent. There is a dining room for the restaurant and we don1t have any experience of that.

Lovely little place in a stunning location. Perfect for a cuppa or pint enjoyiong the view and the birds. Didn't sample the scones but they looked incredible.. will definetly be back.

A very attractive building packed with friendly staff and visitors. Dogs are allowed so for dog walkers lke ourselves this is a gem. Food is slightly on the more expensive side of average but you have to allow for location and runnning costs of such a quaint place.

Excellent place to stop for lunch after a long walk. Food very good, staff friendly and efficient and location wonderful.

A large group of family booked in for dinner.

My wife and I have visited Tarr Steps on several occasions and have eaten at this resteraunt. On our last visit the lady behind the bar, who was also taking food orders and waiting tables was quite offhand and less than welcoming. As this is the only resteraunt in the immediate vicinity they do have a monopoly and perhaps they feel they don’t have to try very hard. A short drive to Dulverton will result in excellent and friendly service at any of the eatery’s.

Went here for lunch. I am limited mobility and there are steep steps everywhere. They are really keen on Foccacia and although original and lovely, limits the options. I chose cheese and pickle and was very disappointed this was not Devon cheese, and was square and shiny, appearing and tasting processed.

Stopped for coffee after a long walk good service, nice coffee and cosy inside. Didn't eat there though

Stopped here after doing the Tarr Steps circular walk. Had an amazing cream tea. We sat outside and ate our scones while admiring the view.

My husband and I went to the fish night 5 courses for £40 each. Each course was very generous and well presented and tasted wonderful.There was a choice of two puddings and then tea or coffee. As always when we visit Tarr farm the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the atmosphere is relaxing. Tarr farm is always warm clean and tidy.

As a party of five, we found the service to be really very poor, especially considering the prices being charged.

Friend and I went to Tarr Steps midweek evening in January as I’d heard food was very good and evenings quiet while lunchtimes usually very busy. Boy was it quiet, only two other people in!

We visited Tarr Steps on 23rd Jan. We had a nice walk & decided to eat in the restaurant. The staff were very friendly & the place itself was very quaint & cosy. The food was very good value for money & freshly cooked.

Delicious burgers, enjoyed outside whilst soaking up the autumn sunshine! An idyllic location right by Tarr Steps!

Just wanted sandwich & a drink. Hot focaccia on offer with goats cheese (massive chunk) & roasted vegetables side salad & crisps. *****

Excellent food especially the seafood. lovely on a sunny day outside or very cosy inside if the weather is not so good. I love the Tarr steps circular walk, it takes about one hour and there are lots of variations if you want to extend it. If you don't want to walk too far it is great to paddle near the stepping stones. Children love it.

Great atmosphere in lovely relaxed surroudings. Food and service was excellent. We would most certainly recomend.

A delicious meal in delightful and comfortable surroundings. Friendly and informal service. We were served coffee sitting room style in comfy leather sofas.

Gorgeous spot for lunch after doing the circular walk around the river and Tarr Steps, a hidden Gem. We had a fabulous hot foccacia with the local ale, served by very warm and friendly staff - thank you! A lovely day to remember.

Only stopped for tea in the garden. Lovely setting. Food looked great and very popular so get here early if you can

Visited for the first time recently on a Sunday evening; as 40 mins drive from where we were staying, called ahead to confirm the kitchen would be open and off we set. On arrival we were shown to the restaurant - we had thought it a bar with food vs a restaurant but had no problem with being shown to the restaurant - but only found out later we could have eaten in the bar and likely would have fared better.

I virtually live in restaurants with travel - and had one of the best dinners (and breakfasts) I've had in years. The ingredients were all exceptional, cooked and served to perfection - with incredibly friendly service. The same of breakfast - wonderful bread, wonderful local honey, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs with a pile of gorgeous salmon. I very rarely feel moved to write a review - but this was wonderful - and I'll definitely travel to come back (And looking at some of the other reviews, I thought if anything the portions were too big!)

Went to meet a business associate for a drink and a meal and was far more impressed with the service and high quality of the venue than the business meeting!

We stopped here after a walk for a cream tea. 2 adults a teen and a toddler. The bar staff were friendly and sorted a seat at a busy time. We ordered a few things including a cream tea for 2. The scones were decent, but the amount of jam and cream was ridiculous - small ramekins that most places would give for 1 person were given for 2 to share. The pot of tea was also a single person pot but for 2. The jam was ok but the clotted cream runny. The other bits (a pud and a tea cake) were decent but we left feeling short changed with literally a half measure of tea and trimmings.

I must say, the quality of the mussels was terrific, but I certainly wouldn't drive the forty minutes taken to get there again. VERY DISAPPOINTING SERVICE. The waitress was not familiar with the ingredients on menu and had to refer several requests for no cream in the food back. Resultant substitution of pesto certainly didn't work with what otherwise was a nice John Dory. Spoilt that meal. No spoon to enjoy the broth in the mussels bowl resulted in a chase around the place to try and get some attention, even though the place was more than half empty. No care and attention. Whilst starters and main were appealing, the menu fell flat on deserts. Same old same old. Cheeseboard worth a try though. Would have liked a good local cider but only had ice cold bubbly stuff. The evening then failed at the last fence. Bill delivered in an AMEX folder but they don't take AMEX cards! We thought that was really taking the biscuit, and the price was not great, so definitely no tip. In summary, it was far too expensive for the poor service. Would not go again.

The location is lovely but watch out for wasps, this was a put off, we had scones and drink which was ok, price was about right for what we had.

It is always nice when expectations are exceeded, and our lunchtime sandwiches were amazing. Watch out for the little stools on the terrace - I went flying! (or maybe it was the half of cider that did it!)

Stopped by here after the Taw Steps. Has great views and is really pleasant surroundings. Serves a range of drinks and food, including great cream teas. Only problem is the amount of wasps if you eat outside although I am sure this must be due to the really hot weather, the amount of them that are being bought and hence the level of jam aroma. Best bet is to move inside!

I took old friends here because in the past I have enjoyed such glorious meals. Not so this time. I was uninspired by the menu but settled on a burger (after expecting to see lots of seafood as before). The roll was rock hard - completely impenetrable, the bacon was barely cooked, the burger was something I could buy in the supermarket and the chips were dry and bland. I wasn’t offered any sauces so had to go in hunt of some mayonnaise and we had to ask several times for more drinks and to make a payment.

A lovely cream tea, yes I know I've done it the Cornish way, apologies. I need some more practice. The Inn was very busy on a beautiful sunny day. Amazing surroundings, reasonably priced food!

Had a family meal here tonight. Service excellent staff friendly and welcoming. Food excellent stake cooked to perfection. My wife's omelette perfect. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Dont' stay anywhere else! Super comfy rooms and a warm welcome from staff. Evening menu delicious and the prettiest spot in Exmoor. Healing, reviving and a special magical location

Been here a few times now...It is a lovely pub with great views of the surrounding countryside. Food and local booze is good , although I have always found them a bit on the pricey, side . Staff are pleasant. .

My husband and I ate here 3 times in one week whilst staying nearby recently. Everything about this place is amazing. The food is some of the best I’ve eaten. The location is simply stunning and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Dogs are welcome too. We loved it so much we’re going to book a stay there for a few days next year

Long walk round Tarr steps and area. Perfect place to stop for a pint and a light lunch with lovely friendly staff. Minimum spend on card though...

Had lunch here having walked from Winsford Hill. (I avoided the car park at Tarr Steps itself as it was Bank Holiday - and they charge!) Had the beef focaccia special which was enjoyable (though it was more like ciabatta!) and a pint of real ale. Sat in the sun - all very enjoyable, if a bit pricey. Understandably popular, though pretty fast service given how busy it was.

Beautiful historic hotel with small dining spaces provide fabulous food in a wonderful atmosphere. Try the Cornish lamb, the duck terrine and the chocolate tart.
