The Clovelly Inn in West Devon

A really lovely cosy country pub. Everyone was so friendly and we felt really comfortable and welcome. The food was delicious, great portion sizes and very reasonable prices. We are still talking about the amazing homemade pies now!

A roaring fire & a big welcome awaits you So good we went twice in 3 days. Wonderful pub with a friendly atmosphere and very accommodating staff. The food is mostly home cooked, very reasonably priced and delicious. I had mushroom, stilton & walnut pie with more vegetables than I could eat. If we were local we’d be regulars.

Very welcoming and friendly barmaid. The food was extremely tasty, with large portions and reasonably priced. We’ve eaten here half a dozen times before and never been disappointed. I’m quite fussy about my wine, but I thoroughly enjoyed the glass I had.

We visited The Clovelly Inn today for sunday lunch, right from the off we were wowed by the whole experience! We were greeted as soon as we entered and shown to our table. The Inn has a roaring wood burner and the decor has a very cozy feel to it. We have three children (11,10 and 6) and there was board games and cards to play with. The real ales available were Jail ale and Doom Bar. The menu was extensive and there were also specials available. The menu is traditional pub fayre, there was something to suit everyone and it was very reasonably priced, most main meals were £10 or less. When the food arrived we were very impressed with the presentation, it was clear that most of the food was made on site and it was delicious. The landlord and staff were all very helpful and friendly and it was really clear to see that they cared for all their customers (including the furry ones). My only complaint is that the Clovelly Inn is not in our village, their hospitality and the overall experience was faultless and we were very impressed. we will definitely return, thank you.

Lovely selection of home made food, the pie was very tasty. Friendly staff and welcoming setting

A lovely pub we will go back again 😊

We booked the table just an hour or so before needed as it was on impulse. We were torn by the choice offered on the menu and then there were the specials too. We both went for the moussaka and we weren’t disappointed. Very yummy . I accepted the portion of peas proffered with the meal. Very impressed with the number of desserts on the menu and then there were some in the specials. I had the banana surprise . I forgot to take photo of mains as was so hungry as you can see the empty plate, says it all. Staff were very friendly. Really pleased we came here

From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were very pleasant and the food was excellent. The pub was quite busy, but everything went very smoothly. A great experience. We will go back.

We to were a family on holiday over the Christmas period, we visited, three times in total, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing, my son and I had a meal on Christmas Eve, which was simple but actually very good, and great value, The staff on all three days were friendly and chatty, We were even given a free drink on Christmas morning which I wasn’t expecting but very graciously received. You are obviously a very traditional, locals pub, simple but good, and in my opinion there are to few left. Please keep up the good work 👋

It’s a proper pub! I visited with family over the Xmas holiday and we went there 3 times in total. The food is simple but delicious and priced properly. It’s a Devon pub for Christ sake, it’s what it should be. Good beer, good food, wellies at the front door and lovely staff! I work in a 900year old traditional thatched pub in East Devon and is very similar, but I would say this place is even more English pub than the one I work in. The bar lady who was working on Boxing Day lunchtime was lovely (we are the ones that came with the spaniel if you remember) and responding from the negative review below. If you don’t have anything nice to say to don’t say anything at all. Like you said, you not from around here.. maybe you just don’t understand the way a proper pub should be. I personally didn’t eat, but my dad and brother did and they said food was great! It’s a shame that people can be so rude these days, just because they don’t understand something. If a mistake was made then let it get fixed instead of just sitting there in spite waiting to get online to be a keyboard warrior. If there’s a problem, talk to the staff that’s what they are there for. Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s beautiful Pub

Super welcoming, very dog friendly, they were given treats, water, toys available. Staff were wonderful. Food was delicious and very affordable. Highly recommend! Would advise to pre-book a table if you are going to eat.

Fantastic food, well presented with attentive staff. Lovey beer too! A great family pub with welcoming atmosphere

I would not hesitate to recommend here. Food lovely, great prices, friendly staff - we will be back.

I think this is definitely a favourite for our family. Great selection to choose from and always lovely quality. A friendly and attractive environment for food or drinks at a fabulous price.

This is a cosy family run pub, proper local business with a welcoming fire. The pub is the heart of the village and the community, supporting any and all local events. We use this pub 2/3 times a week and you are always welcome with good food and drink. The staff are always very helpful and friendly even when busy. If you are looking for good food and value for money then this is the place to eat. In these times of local pubs being shut, it is lovely to see a pub so well supported and used.

This is a fantastic pub, with great food and a lovely atmosphere! We were well treated by the staff and will most definitely be back again!

Fantastic friendly pub with great food, you never leave hungry and such a huge choice . Highly recommended

Fantastic local pub, great people and company. The food is very good value for money and delicious. A proper English pub - can’t fault it.

Proper pub grub. Great rural location. Have been here a few times and it's always busy. Which says a lot during these current times.

This is a fabulous pub, heart of the village. Great food, lovely warm welcome, friendly staff. Very good value for money, well worth a visit. We'll certainly be back again.

Ate at this delightful village pub for my husband’s birthday last week. In a time of the digital age, it was refreshing to find a ‘old fashion’ country pub where the entertainment is conversation. They serve excellent pub food and is at a reasonable cost, a win win situation. If you love country pubs where little has changed then this is a must, if you want to change rural life and its ways, don’t bother visiting.

Once again we had a cracking meal in this friendly family run pub; our village pub. Apart from the wonderful generous pub grub; it always has a lovely ambience. People from all sorts of backgrounds rub along famously in such a convivial atmosphere. Therefore I am quite astonished at the post from “Marie” that described a place no one recognises!. I wonder whether she has posted to the wrong Clovelly? As that often happens. It is true that the local hunt met at the pub recently; but there was no trouble whatsoever apart from a few noisy masked anti saboteurs. She must be referring to somewhere else, as the hunt left well before pub opening time and there was no car parking! In any event; I thoroughly recommend this place; which is very well known locally for its being the heart of the village and providing good old fashioned pub grub in a very convivial welcoming setting.

Lovely traditional old pub with great food at a reasonable price and the lady behind the bar was delightful

What a find! We stopped in for lunch yesterday, we were warmly welcomed and had a fantastic meal. The Clovelly Inn is a proper old village pub, full of character and charm. Only wish it was our local.

Really good food at affordable prices in a very clean traditional pub. Lovely staff. X

Ok good food and a friendly atmosphereg

very cosy pub - lots of charming features. A good value menu with lots of specials listed for variety. The staff were very polite and conscientious. The food was very good and generous portions - would definitely visit again .

Great homemade food. Good value for money. We went there for my Daughter's 30th birthday. Staff very helpful. Caters for kids and wheelchair friendly. ♿️

Absolutely superb. Turned up on a Sunday evening without booking, it was pretty busy in the bar and restaurant. We were going to sit in the bar as restaurant was full but kindly got moved to the restaurant when a reservation didn't show up. Food...

Excellent food in a charming Inn with first class service

What a fantastic find. Had a quick pit stop there after a recommendation. I'm glad we went. Excellent staff, beautiful ambience and super food. The best meal in a pub for a long time. Value for money, tasty and moreish. I would go back in an instant. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

This was a return visit this pub after 2 years. Am pleased to say that this pub is as good now as it was then. The menu of meals on offer is extensive, the meals were well cooked and delivered promptly by the friendly staff....

I can't recommend this pub enough. Whenever we travel to Cornwall we always call in for lunch. Not that far off the A30, but some narrow roads. Decent beer, but exceptional value food. Also friendly staff.

Abolutely fantastic, we were introduced to the Clovelly Inn by a family member and we are so glad we were, this is a lovely pub with serveral seating areas and a games room with a pool table and dart board. There is an excellent selection of drinks and the food is well prepared and the portions will not leave you wanting more, I highly recommend that you save space for desert as you are spoiled with the homemade delights on offer. My personal favourites are the profiteroles and the Chocolate brownie sundae!

Used to be my local when we lived in devon best food and cheapest in devon and one of few places I can get Powers Irish whisky

Great value for money. Good ale, cider & wine with delicious home cooked food.

Lovely looking from the outside- Food was average and wouldn’t say it was the most welcoming place.

Fantastic place, great friendly helpful team. Yummy filling food.👍

Nice pub. Food was great as was the service👍

Proper little devon pub, lovely friendly staff, big portions of pub grub, chicken was very dry and chewy but steak was great. Like most village pubs parking is a problem. Would definitely visit again.

what a great place one of the best welcoms to a pub I have ever had we both ordered gamon that has to be the best gamon we have ever tasted and the size nothing to complain about there when we are around that way again we will be back for moor

Good honest pub food and probably the best option in the area.

Been here many times and will many times again. Great value, great food, local social people. Just what a pub should be.

Delicious food, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Lovely proper pub and proper pub food. Pound for pound, just about the best round here

A very friendly waitress and brilliant food.

Amazing country pub. Lovely staff and great feel good food.

Brilliant service . Great staff . Great food .the chef even stayed on late too feed us . Lovely pub

Just awful!! Went for lunch, ordered at 13:15 and had to ask where our food was at 14:00, was told our order ticket had fallen on the floor and chef hadn’t seen it, was assured food wouldn’t be long… arrived st 14:15 and wasn’t anything...

lovely traditional pub, great food, great prices and fantastic service, we where served by an older gentleman who really made the experience for us, he was polite and friendly as where all the other staff, thankyou for a lovely afternoon

Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff and good service. Venison burger was awfull. Pappy bun and over cooked. Had better at Maccys.

Went on Sunday for a roast to be told, they don't do roast lunch. Had rib eye steak instead but was very disappointed , we had been before and it was terrible so we thought, give them another chance but wished we hadn't, will not go back again.

As usual when we holiday in Devon each year we visit The Clovelly Inn it was great as usual. Very helpful staff and very accommodating. Fodd is good English food. We will be back again next year. We visited twice this year.

A lovely pub with an interesting and beautiful aesthetic both externally and internally. The staff were attentive and confident with Sophie providing a charming service despite being a staff member down and Amy producing some delicious pub grub at a very reasonable price. Would certainly recommend! Note to the owners: treat these staff well :)

The pub we were staying in were not doing food and the Landlord recommended The Clovelly Inn. It is a lovely quaint inn in a picturesque Devon village. A comprehensive menu plus a large specials board. The majority of dishes are home made plus all...

Have been few times recently and each time food has been super value for money, great home cooking and decent portions. Don’t expect fancy frills and fancy surroundings… it’s a village pub and it’s obviously well supported by the locals . Liver , Bacon and...

Upon arrival we were greeted, and then, half way through the opening conversation about our booking, an incoming phone call was taken (literally mid conversation).... and so the conversation was somewhat foreshortened, so from the outset the staff were extremely unprofessional, very rude and unwelcoming....

We travelled to this pub to enjoy a lunch with good friends as it was a half way point between us. We booked 4 weeks ahead and conversed on the telephone about having a dog with us and were assured we could sit at the...

Lovely pub and staff were very friendly, but unfortunately the food was shocking. The portions are way to big, the food was hot and cold in different parts of it and the quality of it was awful. The only good thing was the desert which...

What a great pub! We were a group of seven and everyone was very happy with their main choice, highlights were the steak and ale pie and the breaded place. The draught Guinness was given a big thumbs up! Puddings were consumed greedily, there was...

Loved eating here last week. The pie was excellent and the cheesecake even better! Will definitely be recommending and we will be back!

The poor Clovelly Inn. I think it would be better to close it than dish out the food it currently is. We should have bypassed our stomachs and just flushed it down the loo! It was cold and over cooked - for example no inside...

Was most unpleasant experience of my life the youngsters where most unpleasant and found the land lord was very unhelpful too make anyone else feel welcome

Such a lovely pub with pretty outdoor seating. We arrived quite late for lunch but they were more than happy to make food. Really friendly staff, good portions, great beer, what more do you need?!

Great meal, everyone enjoyed it, a bit of a wait but i think they were busy that day, deserts were heavenly. Will definitely go again.

Ordered a wide variety of food for our party of 10. The food arrived freshly prepared, hot and very tasty. The service was excellent; our waitress was very attentive and the bar-man was very friendly. We had a lovely family meal and the Inn catered...
