Excellent pub and the food is delicious. The prices for food and drinks is very reasonable. Everyone is very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely appalled... We visited this pub and restaurant for a meal after scattering my nans ashes and the service was horrific. We were told to phone our order ahead and when the meals came out wrong we were made to feel horrendous. We then (as don't like confrontation and a lot of confusion at the bar) had to pay for the majority of the meals without eating them! The attitude of the staff was completely unprofessional and the manager had no remorse either! Steer well clear! The veg clearly came from a tin and mash microwaved food cold etc etc the list goes on! Worst dining experience I've ever had I'd give it minus if I could.

I've been here a few times, we visited today as it was Mother's Day, and we love this pub as a friendly, local, cosy inn. The food is good and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Being it was Mothers Day, we tried to avoid the mainstream restaurants and on arriving we got a seat and asked to order food, as we hadn't booked the staff made sure that we would be able to get food and they came back to us and advised that they could fit us in but food might take a while. We appreciated the fact that they were able to accommodate us, so this wasn't a problem. We ordered drinks and patiently awaited our food, Double Bacon Burger, 16Oz Rump Steak, and a Kids nuggets, chips, and beans. This arrived within fair time, and as I said, the food was fantastic and we were too filled up to have a dessert but if we had room, we would have gone for the hot sticky toffee pudding and clotted cream (it's soooo indulgent!!) As always, this pub, the friendly staff, and the welcoming environment didn't disappoint, and we'll always come back here.

Harrowing experience here- owners are deeply homophobic. My friends and I have never felt this unsafe in a public space. Harassed, bullied, and kicked out a quiet group of people after targeting and accosting a visibly queer member of our party. There was no provocation whatsoever on our part and we’re deeply shocked. Grew up in a small village and have never experienced this level of bigotry in any rural pub. Came close to physical violence, including the owner’s son filming me and my friend, again, unprovoked. Very frightening.

The owners are bigoted, kicked a large group of us out on New Year’s Eve purely due to homophobia, where we once felt safe, they bullied us out and left us feeling disgusted despite being quiet with no provocations. Their actions were not ok - nothing about them were kind or respectful. Horrible behaviour.

Our 'local' for a week's stay & apart from one young 'lady' behind the bar on a particular afternoon who needs to brush up on her customer service & attitude the staff were friendly enough & efficient. We ate at the pub on a couple of occasions during our stay - it would have been more but we didn't book ahead other than for the Sunday lunch (didn't do roasts at the time which was .....different). Was almost totally booked out for food otherwise during the week & that is despite there being a separate dining room to the bar eating area. It meant that if you hadn't snagged a table you had to stand to have a drink in the middle of the busy bar room - the popularity with local people meant that it was unlikely to be 'at the bar' as invariably the bar seats which ringed the length of the bar, apart from the service hatch, were already taken. A dedicated serving-only area would have been useful as you had to push in over seated drinkers at times to get your glasses on the bar. I doubt the fact that the Devonshire Inn nearby never seemed to be open affected the volume of customers. The couple of meals we had were good to very good for the price & as said we would have eaten at the Taw River on more occasions had space allowed - there certainly was an extensive menu to ensure you wouldn't need to have the same thing twice on a week's holiday. There wasn't any marked delay from ordering to receiving the food & that's despite being so busy so a definite thumbs up. Good range of beers available & again reasonably priced for the area. It is a very dog-friendly pub so as long as you don't mind eating near a pooch then that would be OK. The pub building was characterful without being ancient with some nice features. The fire in the main bar would be very attractive in the winter, I'm sure. Sports fans are well catered for with 2 TVs in the main bar but in my experience, they were only on at non-intrusive times, e.g. not during Sunday lunch! I understand there is a large beer garden but due to the foul weather we had all week we didn't bother to seek it out.

Ate at this friendly old pub after visiting NT Finch Foundry opposite. Pub recommended by staff at the affordsaid. Friendly bar staff, enjoyable drinks, great food - fabulous plougman's platter, which includes a sausage roll! I was impressed by the very fresh colourful salad served with my scampi & chips. Thoroughly enjoyed our desserts, especially local Salcombe Blackcurrant sorbet. This is what a pub should be, keep up the good work.

This place is of outstanding value, food and beer are inexpensive, and they must just about break even because of the volume of sales. Saying that every table was full when we visited on a Thursday night, so booking is advised. A good selection of local ales - Black dog being very quaffable. When had the veggie chilli, with a mix of chips and rice, felt very Brit like ordering something with both rice and chips, but glad we did as the chips were amazing, perhaps some of the best I've ever had. Friendly service, an old pub feel and perfect for the area. Only downside was perhaps the lack of a veggie pie option, or veggie curry on the menu; it would have given more variety and ensured we came back a second day given how good the chilli was! Re visited in July 2023 and still continues to be great value, however, very sad to report those amazing chips have been replaced by bog standard skin on fires that are clearly from a frozen catering box. Still just as popular with those of elderly persuasion and that is likely to do with the value. Fortunately, the staff remain just as friendly as before.

We booked a table for six people and when we arrived were very surprised at the fantastic selection of food available.

The lady who served behind the bar and served the food was wonderful and handled a full pub while also assisting people with walking difficulties and everything else, very impressive. Next time I visit the area I will definitely eat here again. Very excellent food and wonderful atmosphere in this pub.

At last there is a pub making a reasonable mark up on the wine and not taking the mickey out of the customers. Food was really nice- pub grub how you want it and nice fire in the side room we were in. Wish I had this pub where I lived.
