The Artichoke Inn in Teignbridge

Great village pub. Good selection of food and bear. Lovely staff

Booked a table for 5 of us last night and had a fantastic evening. Despite being busy (a good sign) the food was out to us really quickly and all of our party enjoyed it. I had the fish and chips which was incredible. Since Mel and her team have taken over the pub has regained its appeal as the perfect village go to. Well done guys. See you Friday for Karaoke night

Loved this place, popped in without a booking and found a table. Sunday roast was amazing, and great cheerful staff.

What can I say about this pub the food is out of this world my favourite is the steak ,I've never tasted a steak like it ..the hospitality is amazing such a welcoming atmosphere and the pub is absolutely gorgeous,I have been in the winter and they have such an amazing log fire and I was at the pub when the sun was shining sat in the stunning beer garden

I booked this pub for a large family meal whilst we were visiting the area due to the great reviews. When booking I asked if they needed pre-booking for roasts or a deposit as we were such a large group and was told that if we came at a set time it would be fine. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted drinks and then told that they had no beef, 4 chicken (which wasn’t even listed on the menu), 3 gammon and 2 steaks. There were 12 of us at the table at 2:30pm. The lady who served us was quite rude when we asked for a moment to think about it. We would have been happy to make do if it was not for her response to us and continuing to push us to order drinks. I cannot comment on the food as we all promptly left and went elsewhere for food. The other reviews and pictures look very good, it is a shame that we did not have the same experience as others. Perhaps if you are a larger party I would recommend requesting to preorder!

Outstanding Roast and Service 3 of us has 2 roast lamb land a roast beef. Wow blew us away. Mel and her Mum, front of house and the Chef have only been there less than 6 months. phenomenal Roast, great service and a great experience 5* Date of visit: April 2024

An amazing Sunday Lunch at this charming, cozy pub on the edge of Dartmoor. Excellent roast lamb with all the trimmings. Perfect in every way.

Had a roast dinner today and it is one of the best roast I have ever tasted. Plenty of meat veg everything and the taste was to die for. I will definitely be back soon x

Absolutely outstanding food ,I'll definitely be back again the whole family loved it . Great atmosphere and such lovely friendly barmaids . Thank you very much

Food absolutely outstanding fabulous meal and service such a warm welcome will definitely be back very soon with rest of family

Quite possibly the best pub for food, company and atmosphere I have ever come across. The pub has been recently taken over and I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It gets 10 star from myself and my friends, if I could rate it higher I would. You won’t be disappointed!

A great bistro type menu. Good food, good service and lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. New management has made it their own. Price is right, too.

What a hidden gem. Country pub, just been refurbished and under new management, and it is beautiful, with an open fire. Festive menu was great, the food was amazing, we were a family of 6 and we all enjoyed our meals. Service was exceptional, Plenty of options on the drinks menu too and free parking. Felt very welcomed, and all in all was a brilliant night. Definitely be back again.

When I heard this pub was back open me and my family decided to view the menu I heard great things about and wow I'm so glad we did the food was absolutely divine. Each and every one of us loved it . The Staff were so welcoming and friendly. The pub was so cosy with a warm open fire it had a real christmasy feel about the place . We can't wait to return on Sunday for the roast .

A fabulous little gem. The food is sooo good We booked a table for 6 of us and baby. Most of us had a burger and omg they were massive We also had 2 pizza's. I've never seen pizza's soo big in a pub The chicken wings were lovely. Lots of sauce and lovely and moist. Thank you for a lovely meal

Nice and cosy pub. We were welcomed and offered a table even though we had no reservations and arrived quite late. The service was excellent and the food was very good!

Extremely disappointed. Having booked to discover on arrival they were CLOSED. I am unable to review the establishment when there was not food.

I always say it how it is Great old proper pub with nice atmosphere fun landlady and landlord and superb food everything we wanted , we will be back .

We had 2 pizzas, they were advertisrd as home made and cooked to order. However it was clear that they were shop bought pizzas covered in melted cheese with sparse, uncooked toppings. The tomato sauce base was so tasteless it was like eating cheese on toast. The loos were filthy and wet with leaking rainwater and the toilet paper was mouldy and soaking wet.

We went here for the Wednesday steak night and we had two excellent meals. I had homemade chicken & ham pie from the early bird menu and it was absolutely delicious! My wife had the rump steak and that was also excellent. The staff were very friendly, and we were made very welcome. We will certainly be returning.

The Artichoke is perfectly located in the heart of Christow, with a great bar and nice patio and lovely old building. I left my special sunglasses and rung up two days later and they’d been handed into the bar; a testament to the kindness of the patrons and the owners - purrrrfect!

Proper village pub feel to it, and that's meant in a very positive way. We were 'out of towners ' on holiday but the welcome we got was lovely. Thanks so much and we hope to see you all again one day!

Really cute local pub / restaurant. It's dog friendly, and everyone I interacted with was lovely 🥰 10/10 playlist music-wise

Great atmosphere, friendly people , fantastic food & close to home

Took home a GF Pizza. Top marks, was well lovely. Topping great and base so crispy. So much to choose from

We were late getting back to Christow (on holiday there) so we phoned ahead to book 4 takeaway meals. We picked up a full English breakfast, a huge pizza and 2 curries. We all enjoyed our chosen meals. Nice food, hot and good portion sizes.

Fair play, couple of really decent Pizzas, although my American Hot was a bowel-basher and I urge caution! Fierce chilli's and a dynamite pepper sauce on it. Nice though

We had Ana amazing meal at the Artichoke yesterday. My wife had Pizza and I had gammon. The meals were brilliantly cooked and service was excellent. Great local beer on draught as well. What more could you want

I visit the artichoke inn very often and I’m never disappointed with them. They’re always so attentive and kind. The food is superb (especially the curry fries) and we always have a lovely time. Highly recommend.

Great village pub, with lovely staff who are very welcoming. They do take away menu as well as sit in and our favourite is the made from scratch Pizzas which are amazing. We had a selection for our party and there was not a slice left. Especially good is the beef Madras pizza yum yum. Highly recommended x

Just read with much bemusement a bad review for the home made pizzas. Often order them and did so again on Friday for our group of friends staying for the weekend. Everyone was raving about them and the beef madras one was a major hit. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Sam and Mark are fantastic and do an amazing job of making the pub an integral part of the village. Ignore the negatives. You won’t be disappointed

We love The Artichoke! Sam and Mark are so friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble - the service is always excellent. The food is quality pub-style food and very good value. The pizzas are particularly good - we have one pretty much every Friday evening!

The bacon blue burger is honesty the best thing I have ever tasted , I would recommend trying it. Also Mark and Sam are very welcoming and funny

After a long day out we ordered 4 different meals to have as a take away and each of us was really pleased with the food. Hot meals and good portion sizes.

Lovely historic pub, great team and fayre right in the heart of the village

We love The Artichoke! Sam and Mark are so friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble - the service is always excellent. The food is quality pub-style food and very good value. The pizzas are particularly good - we have one pretty much every Friday evening!

Driving past on the way back from visiting friends and popped in for pizza , AMAZING all fresh ingredients and made from scratch , well worth the wait , beer was great and reasonably priced too. It felt like an old English pub should , will definitely go back next time we are in the area

Have had many a pizzas here and also great burgers. They cater well for Gluten Free too which is outstanding. You can’t beat the Spicy Pepperoni Pizza with extra chicken or the 6oz Steak Cheeseburger. Both my favorites and it’s always decision decisions!

Love my village pub! Always so friendly and inviting especially with my dog Frank. The food is on another level, not what you’d expect from a little village pub! The fish and chips are delicious but my fave is the NewYorker chicken burger! And their chips 🤤 what can I say! Amazing pub, amazing people and even better food. Xx

A lovely little country pub with a huge heart. Yummy pizza for lunch and a great choice of beers. Thank you Mark and Sam, for the warm welcome. Having read a couple of very mean reviews written earlier this week I wonder if we have some fraudsters visiting the area trying to get free dinners? I just can't recognise their description of a place I've eaten at many times. Beware of these two, other local businesses.

Sam and Mark are amazing hosts and The Artichoke is a genuine village pub with a warm welcome for all. Pizzas are lovely and great that they do a take away menu too

We are local and spend 2 or3 early evenings at this lovely old pub. The owners and staff are so friendly and attentive. We also enjoy meals and takeout at least once a week. The pizzas are wonderful, the curry terrific and my personal favourite, halloumi and chips is great. Such a wonderful edition to our community and a great stop for walkers and holiday makers visiting Dartmoor.

I had a date with my 2 year old and we had pizza in their beer garden! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The pizza and cheesy chips were gorgeous! Better still, you can have anything on the menu as a takeaway! We will be back!!!

Me and my friends had an excellent meal and lovely friendly service 😋😋😋👌🍔🍟🍗infact several lovely meals, will be back without a shadow of a doubt 👌👌at the artichoke inn at christow .

Great food 😊 Fantastic pizza and fish and chips is just lovely - huge portion!

Have been here many times and always had a good meal with great service. Their pizzas are to die for, and roasts are fab, but then I also love their steaks lol 😆 This lovely cosy village pub is welcoming and their beer garden is great! Plenty of seating, with gnomes and gonks to keep you company, amidst the local characters. Definitely worth the drive and yes they have a car park.

These were the worst pizzas we have ever had. It’s something you would have after a drunken night out maybe. Really bad bases and toppings were awful. No flavour in the tomato sauce.

Lovely little village pub, lovely staff, very friendly, great choice of drinks too👍 however i wouldn't go there for fish & chips again it was just like eating warmed up supermarket frozen food unfortunately.

Visited on 20th April, with friends. The village is lovely, the pub is so historic, full of charm and character. A fire place you would sit beside on a winters night, sipping your brew. Staff and locals friendly, food was amazing, service with a smile. Some seating outside, ideal for those summer days. Will return for another evening of your delicious food. Thankyou.

Pipped in with my Wife for a Thursday Night Curry & a Pint for £9.99. Epic good value, lovely Pub, Staff, Cellar & Food. Long may they prosper !

We were staying locally and was recommended this pub. Stopped in for a drink. We sat playing board games, taking to the locals. Everything you want when you are stopping for a drink.

A great bunch of people that create a brilliant atmosphere and very welcoming- food also great if I reccomend one thing it’s takeaway pizza and the chips. Give this place a visit!!!!

Excellent welcoming pub. Great quality food at very reasonable prices. Great for families and dog friendly. Good local beers/cider on offer.

Lovely traditional pub in a beautiful spot! We visited as a family of 4 (plus dog, who was made very welcome) - friendly relaxed environment and delicious food.

Nice friendly staff most grateful to call me a taxi

Nice food and a very warm welcome. Tales of ghosts to accompany the meal. Lovely host in Sam.

I visited The Artichoke Inn today and they had such a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Loved seeing the families and dogs enjoying themselves. Chefs food is second to none especially the Sandwiches and Jacket Potatoes. 5/5 Stars

We enjoyed a lovely meal and some drinks at the artichoke inn. We arrived just when the kitchen was closing but we were still served. Had a large jumbo fish and chips with mushy peas, a couple of gin and tonics and some pints. The atmosphere was very nice, staff was friendly and the bill was fair.

We were in the area looking for food to fill the gap - too early for dinner and getting late for lunch but the staff at the Artichoke received us with open arms on this wet Sunday afternoon. The fire was lit (and needed to...

Lovely warm welcome this wet Sunday Afternoon. Good food. Friendly staff. Everything a country pub should be.

We both had fish and chips which were wonderful as the batter was lovely and light and the chips were perfection. This pub is very obviously the heart of this very friendly village and the hosts kindness itself.

Our second visit to this pub and again we were delighted by the food, service and great value. Perfect pub food and great selection of local beers and ciders. Gluten free options are available and the chips are done in a separate fryer. 10 out...

Had serveral also takeaways recently, visited 13/05/21, two massive 8oz cheeseburgers, one Gluten Free. Loaded with chips, onion rings, salad and sauce for £8.70 a head, you can’t go wrong! Tasty and just delicious.

Stoped by 28/4 for lunch, having seen the burgers come out recently. Opted for an 8oz Cheeseburger. Came out in a bun with salad, chips, onion rings and burger sauce on the side. Remarkable value at £8! If Carlsberg made burgers, they’d make these. Absolutely...

Recently under new management and just re-opened. Very quiet, but staff friendly and welcoming. Simple, but cheap (£8) food menu, but we only stopped for drinks, so can't comment on quality.

Following our visit and great experience last month. Still ticks all those boxes. Generous helpings, on this occasion delicious beef cheek stew with plenty of veg. One of our group had the pub burger but he found it dry and overcooked. I can only rate on my own experience. 5 star. Very friendly locals' pub in cozy bar with sofas.

2nd time in England and visited this pub again was so happy to see many greek dishes on the specials• as good as at home the chef knows the greek food. Wilk be back next time we are in the UK. Please visit us soon

When we first came to this pub it was lunchtime, very quiet and not sure about the decor. However, we had one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The service was excellent and we would definitely return.

Lovely evening spent here with middle son! Had a wonderful meal, the boys had linguine and I had the scampi, which I'd been hankering after all day! Absolutely gorgeous food, cooked to perfection, plenty of it! The fire was lit as it was a bit of a chilly day and the whole atmosphere was warm, friendly, inviting, with superb food! Couldn't have asked for more! Thank you xx

Booked the whole restaurant to celebrate my 50th with a large group of friends. We all ate together and Sam did an incredible job orchestrating 28 main courses coming out of the highest quality. The whole evening was a fantastic success and can’t recommend The Artichoke highly enough. Thanks Sam for everything you did

We visited the Artichoke again with my husband's daughter visiting from Australia. She had the burger which was terrific and abundant. My husband had the new chicken, leek and mushroom pie, again really great. But me!!! I had the linguine appetizer but as a mains. It was wild mushroom with truffle oil. I can only say, what a fabulous meal. Really wonderful. The service was excellent despite the fact of their gas oven being on the blink. We waited a short time, but again, great polite service.

Good food and good selection of beers.

Local pub for local people. Was initially told we couldn’t have booked, but once we said it was by email and we’d had a reply recognition dawned on the barman’s eyes. Barman did then make us very welcome and food was tasty. Service time for food and the requested bill was a little slow given the busyness.

We really enjoyed our experience at The Artichoke pub. It is a very quaint thatched roof pub in a beautiful setting. The service was very friendly and meals were all freshly cooked. It was worth the wait for the food, all cooked by the owner, Sam. We actually visited twice; once as a couples eve and one with my parent in laws and baby. I had the most delicious fish pie; well presented and very tasty! I tried the lamb burger the following day which was massive! It was served with feta cheese and a tasty tzasiki sauce all inside a sourdough bun; good value for money. A pleasant experience with a slower pace of life; we liked this!

This is an interesting place - a classic Dartmoor thatched inn in narrow Devon lanes. On one side it is clearly a Devon local's pub, on the other it has a well ordered restaurant that goes beyond pub grub. The food, service and presentation are excellent, without being pretentious. A good menu - with a wide variety of local food on offer. The name of the inn is unusual. Might go back to early medieval times when the inn could have been a mustering point for would be crusaders to Jerusalem. And don't be put off by narrow lanes. There's a good car park nearby.

Food here never fails to amaze me. Always freshly cooked and reasonably priced.

Lovely village pub with a great Children's menu.

We visited the Artichoke with our children last night. All our meals were delicious. Great food and big portions. The children’s menu is good and the added games to play while waiting were appreciated. The service was wonderful, very welcoming and friendly. We’ll be back again.

Had a lovely lunch in the Artichoke with family and the food is now even better because Sam, the owner, has taken over the kitchen and what a great chef he is! All the meals are prepared and cooked by Sam and so there may be a slight wait but I'm telling you that the wait is well worth it for the sheer quality of the meal provided. Do give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Delicious slow roasted beef and a lovely selection of fresh vegetables. Great value and no washing up.

The most bizarre Sunday lunch. Stuck in the 70's. First we were served drinks by a customer as the barman was serving food! We were then given a crumpled sheet of paper with the menu on it although crucially no Sunday roast which I had asked about when booking.We asked and beef was available so we ordered 2. It was poor, salty gravy, potatoes with a very harsh garlic taste, half cooked frozen Yorkshire and weird dark beef. There are far better places near by with a similar rating that live up to their reviews.

Excellent service and friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the food was hot and fresh and well presented. Highly recommended.

Another great meal at the Artichoke Inn in Christow. Since the new chief has started the meals have been amazing. We have had the great fish pie, lots of fish and prawns; a terrific burger, too large to finish with onions, cheese, chips and great coleslaw. The vegan burger was probably the best I have had, though I did make is vegetarian with some Monterey Jack cheese. Really great. Casual and fun. Good service.

my hubby&myself; and a friend went there on the 1/7/2019 for an evening meal,excellent food,very tasty,well presented and the hospitality from sam and the barman was brilliant,what a most enjoyable evening we had .thankyou artichoke well done,loved it, dee&mike; sharp,

What a lovely pub. My husband and I stayed around the corner for our 1st wedding anniversary. We came here for a few drinks & food over our stay . Firstly the pub is just so lovely also Nathan the bar man was welcoming & couldn’t do enough for us . We had an amazing fish finger sandwich , aswell as a Sunday lunch . Really lovely pub & we are sad to leave the place xxx our dog was also very welcome too . Xx

Our visit to the Artichoke today was very good. We were well looked after and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food. I hope Acorn will be a frequent visitor.

The service couldn't have been more friendly or welcoming. The food very average. When you have a small menu and very few other customers eating, you need to get it right. One veggie option will not bring me back for food, but the warm atmosphere would.

We had a lovely dinner which was great value. The squid was expertly cooked and the burger was up there with the best homemade burger you can get. The service was very friendly and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming and great fun. Definitely worth a visit.
