The Horse and Groom in South Hams

Lovely food, the staff are great. Wonderful atmosphere. In a brilliant location. Well rec

Great find and fantastic steaks x 2 for £16 bargain 😀 👌

We made a short detour from the A38 to reach this friendly pub & enjoy another tasty meal on our way home to Plymouth. Our choice of meal ( Surf & Turf & my wife choose The Chilli dish. Our choice of meals was freshly cooked & delivered to our table on hot plates the presentation of the food was top notch and each mouth full was thoroughly enjoyable; our dessert course was tasty and the Baileys cheesecake was just so tasty. Our drinks were served by a friendly young lady who also left the bar to check if our meal was to our liking. In short a wonderful pub to visit & enjoy a wonderful meal with a friendly landlord

Great food, great atmosphere, great company, Lovely pub that we walk to regularly. We live Ivybridge and prefer to walk over to Bittaford for this lovely pub.

Lovely pub family run staff are great friendly even the locals are nice too welcoming place to go. Great food homemade delicious me and kids go often. Nice selection of drinks

This place is amazing prices fantastic, food fantastic, staff amazing

Cosy, traditional pub with nice service and good food. Chicken curry was tasty but spicy, which wasn't apparent to me on the menu. Burger and fish pie were good. Recommended.

Nice place was really quiet when we went but that was expected on a Tuesday lunch time . Food was good and bar man was friendly and the dog approved. Nice treating from the parrot too. Would definitely eat there again .

Succulent steak served by friendly, helpful staff. We will go back for more.

Fantastic meal for 7 adults, service was super fast and very reasonably priced, we will definitely be coming here again . Many thanks

Sat outside in the kids play area. The real ale wasn't on form this particular day.

I pop in here often for a pint on the way back to Ivybridge, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I have also eaten here 3 times since i moved down here and each time the food has been amazing. Last time we were a group of 11 and there was not a single complaint about the food from anyone in the group, everyone loved their food. I recommend the steak, it is my go to every time because it is just so good. If you want to treat yourself then i recommend preordering the Côte de boeuf, however, make sure that you are hungry because there is so much food. The drink selection is also great, they often have different ales and ciders available. I will 100% be back for food soon

Lovely meal here this evening with friendly service from lady at the till and the gentleman who brought the food to the table

As new locals we are pleased to say this place is lovely. Steaks are perfect , service very good.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. The steak is amazing, and peppercorn sauce you could tell it was homemade. They have a great selection of ales and ciders too.. we will definitely be going back.

Been here a couple of times. Enjoyed the food and drink in a nice location. Will be visiting again

Stopped off for evening meal, we had the beacon burger which was amazing, Food came quick staff were friendly and great service, sat outside for a drink after as the sun was setting it was lovely, would definitely recommend 😀

A nice, traditional pub, good food and friendly staff, been for lunch a few times and will return at some point. They also have a rather amusing parrot on the bar! Worth a trip out

Perfect in every way, the food was absolutely delicious and the choice was good. Value for money definitely. I would highly reccommend this venue...it was delightful.

Wow!! After a day of rain This place certainly done the trick 😁 The food was absolutely delicious! Couldn't fault it ! " and the puddings were splendid!! 😋 I would definitely recommend to go here the staff were very welcoming for a local pub, we aren't from around here and we have been to a few local pubs elsewhere and have found them very clicky, the horse & groom wasn't one bit clicky they made us feel very welcome indeed!! A lovely place to visit ,don't drive past pop in and see for yourself !!!

What a fantastic place!!! food was excellent I'd give it 20 out of 10 if I could !! It was absolutely delicious and puddings just topped it off Thanks for a fantastic end to a wet and dreary day 😁

Second visit to have food, first was 6 of us and all loved the food. Second 4 of us, all on steak and all cooked as asked. Good service and atmosphere. Will use again****.

Always good to pop into the horse and groom, when heading down west, good beer, good food. I had the Beacon burger, gorgeous.

Had a very nice pub meal on a Sunday afternoon! Very reasonable and the food was yummy, good selections of steaks, burgers, lasagne ect. Fast service and friendly staff 😃

Great village pub. Friendly and helpful management and staff. Great food

Service was fast and food arrived quickly and was pipping hot and was very tasty the desert s were absolutely huge definitely go back

A real local with all that that entails. Amazing owners and staff. Very impressed. Own ale brewed just for them, too: Bitttabeer.

Food wasn't on as they had a Christmas party booked, which was a shame as I was hungry and they'd not put anything on their media to say food was off. When I asked if Ithey had coke zero I was told yes, but he then got it from a bottle, rather than also telling me about the cheaper option of Pepsi max on tap, which I'd have preferred - he'd already taken the top off the bottle and it was too late, when I them asked if they didn't have cola on tap. Poor crisp flavour choices. Steps up to the door, which isn't great for disabilities, but the hand rail definitely helped.

Went for wife’s birthday on the 23rd of Dec 2023. Myself wife, daughter Rachel plus Bella and Dan. We all had different meals followed by dessert and a complimentary bottle of wine supplied by Ollie and Dawn. Great service food was lovely and we left feeling full and very pleased with everything. Well worth a visit if you have not been there yet.

Absolutely fabulous food we will definitely be back again as just up the road from us

Dropped in on the way back from a day out. Had the Dartmoor Stack burger, and it was the best burger I've had in a long time. Simple but perfectly cooked. It being a double I did have to eat it like an animal, but it was perfectly doable. Quick friendly service too. Dessert portion was generous and prices were reasonable.

First time eating here. Lovely food at very reasonable prices. Will be back!

Food was great and good choice definitely go back 😋

Lovely local pub with friendly staff and a good selection of local beers

A proper traditional pub, with friendly staff serving a proper traditional menu. Recommended.

Great place to have a meal, enjoy a real ale and soak up the Great atmosphere!!

Popped in for a drink. It's a proper unpretentious pub. Good range of beers, food options and outdoor seating with freindly service. What's not to like.

Had a lasagne and vegan burger + vegan biscotti pie as a takeaway tonight and it was top drawer, delicious, thank you very much

Took my mum here for lunch today. Was a bit disappointed. Ordered the chicken and bacon melt. I was happy that he took off all the fat for the bacon for me. However. The chips were underdone and the chicken was very dry. I didn't Finnish the chicken or the chips. The chicken. I managed to eat with the bacon was okay. But as soon as the bacon ran out I couldn't eat anymore. I do think that £5 odd for 6 hallomi fries is a bit much? I did enjoy them however. I paid £35 for two meals. No including the drinks. The drink were fine. But I don't think I'd be eating there again :( slightly disappointed as everyone was raving about this place

A lovely pub with a welcoming atmosphe

Beautiful Tomahawk steak, cooked to perfection

Lovely local pub. Good choice of ales and cider. Always keeps beer in perfect condition. Jail Ale is always on plus guest ales. The Exeter Darkness was perfect. Landlord knows his stuff and happy to talk about it if you want to. Highly recommended.

Great place to have a drink and some food. All the staff are very friendly.

Lovely little place, very friendly staff

Nice friendly pub. Good beer and delicious food.

Blessed to have this as our local. Friendly staff, good selection of booze and great menu for the family 👍👍👍

Easy location to get to. Plenty Outside seating . Pool table ,food friendly local pub

Great pub which server the normal refreshments and good food, just on the edge of Dartmoor so you could go for a walk afterwards.

Super nice and well made meal. Went down well after a long drive 😊

Enjoyed a lovely family meal...Three different meals cooked and prepared to high standard. Steak was delicious! Cider very tasty. Service was spot on. Dog allowed in without question.

Went for a cheeky steak and chips with a beer. The beer is always good. The steak and chips are normally good value. This time the steak was good but the chips were hard. We took them back and they served us another portion of chips again they are anaemic and hard in the middle. I took these back. At which point I had eaten the steak. The bar man said chips are chips and that's it. I said chips are ment to me soft in the middle . Then nothing was done about it. Felt we had basically paid for a steak and no chips. A shame really as normally good value and it could have easily been resolved. But no attempt to resolve the issue. So another customer lost Only giving the place 3 as most of the time it's OK. Just think they have forgotten about the customer

I live locally to this pub and call in for a few pints once a week usually late afternoon or early evening. I am not a drunk or a person who is difficult or a person who winges about a cloudy pint, which I am afraid to say, is a relatively common occurrence here. With the exception of one of the owners I have to say that the service overall is below average, the beer is ordinary most of the time and the landlady is just plain rude. I rarely eat here so I can’t comment on the food beyond saying that the last time I did eat here, which was about a month ago, the food was ordinary as well.

Very nice meal and very friendly service 👌

With my family on holiday , such a great menu , food superb . Great service . Unfortunately was our last night in area as we would definitely gone back

Fantastic food 😋 Beautiful room xxx

Excellent service food and drink staff Excellent enjoyed the day will go back soon and that's a promise sticky toffee pudding is to die for

The food was absolutely amazing and so reasonably priced. The sticky toffee pudding and cream was good enough to die for.

Excellent! Fantastic food and service, would definitely go back again 🤗

Visited the pub for a meal and felt welcomed as soon as opened the door, greeted by staff who showed us to our table, food was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and will be making many more visits in the future whether for a quiet drink or a meal.

Have eaten here a couple of times now the food is outstanding always piping hot. Friendly homely atmosphere, nothing was to much trouble. Comes highly recommended, as does the sticky toffee pudding. More visits planned for the future xxxx

Beautiful food , served quickly. Lovely homely atmosphere and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble will definitely be making several more visits

Enjoyed a lovely well cooked meal, staff very welcoming and friendly, will definitely be back

Very old fashioned, quaint pub with lovely service and food.

Amazing staff and great food, wonderful local pub 😀 Highly recommend. Look forward to returning again soon.

What a beautiful pub,wonderful food and lovely staff and calming background music shall return most definitely.

The Beacon burger was amazing with great chips and onion rings. My partner had the Rump steak with all trimmings was nicely cooked. Good selection of Beers and lovely people, great value 😀

Good meal, and ale. Our third visit.

Lovely pub, we like to go for a game of darts

Good food at very reasonable prices - nothing overly special but very homely. Good variety of beers on tap. Not much parking

Had a meal here just last night my partner and I enjoyed it, chips were proper chips which you struggle to find now anywhere. Staff all very friendly. Reasonably priced pub food which is all we expected

Amazing food quality, for an amazing price cannot fault this place. Friendly staff could not do enough. Been a couple times and would highly recommend trying it!!

Positively average or below average…. Fish & Chips were frozen, which is a shame being so close to fish markets. Fish was also dry due to overcooking. Polite service. Music far to loud for the restaurant area.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great value for money and very reasonable. We have visited a couple of times and very impressed as all food is cooked to order and all fresh produce. Only slight issue was the chips were slightly under cooked, but this hasn't put us of returning. Will recommend and visit again.

Visited today whilst on a trip to Bittaford researching my granddad's birthplace. This would have been his local pub back in the 1920 and 30's! Lovely food, very quick service and great value for money ... I had scampi and my husband had a steak, both nicely presented and well cooked. Lovely day so we sat outside in one of the covered pods. Very Covid secure. We will definitely visit again when next in the area.

My wife and I booked a dinner here on 29th June 2021. Considering it was the night England were playing Germany we thought it would be packed out. The pub was almost empty. We booked it for 7.30pm after the game was over. The pub itself had a lovely theme to it, staff were friendly enough. However, when the food arrived it looked alot on the plate but once tasted, the quality was poor, the steak was tough and chewy for a medium rare steak, the gammon was dry, the onion rings were too hard. The only thing that was fresh and tasty was the scampi as they had to be cooked freshly. All the other products were microwaved in my opinion. My wife had crab salad which was slightly better but the crab was not nice she said. In her opinion it had been prepared for at least 24 hours. One of the worst meals we had in a long time. Can't recommend the food but the pub itself it nice in terms of decor and staff.

Hearty and traditional food with outstanding service. We had a great meal at the Horse and Groom and it was just what we needed after a long journey. Good quality food and friendly service. Would recommend 100%!

Just had an excellent pub lunch, I had surf and turf with nice sized scampi and tender rump steak and gammon, my wife had salmon fish cakes which she enjoyed. Very good value for money.

This has to be the worst piece of cod I’ve ever had, clearly bought in already battered and then overdone in the deep fat fryer, chips were also dry. Terrible meal!

Just had a wonderful take out meal on Horse and Grooms Vegan Night. I fancied a beef lasagne but when I saw my wife’s vegan curry choice was tempted enough to change my mind. Angie collected the food which was ready on time and COVID...

Quite simply a great pub. Had a lovely meal this evening, we sat in one of the new outdoor pods. Food was delicious and excellent value, everyone was very friendly. Given the circumstances that we currently face (Covid) felt genuinely safe and feel the owners...

We enjoyed a lovely relaxed lunch at the Horse and Groom today. We felt very covid safe in the fantastic outside pubble. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely visit again.

Eight quid for Ploughmans in an unsustantial paper takeaway container was shocking. Not exactly value for money or appetising despite the current 'un'social distancing requirements. Not sure if a pint of lemonade for nearly three quid is worth a mention either?! Sorry but I wasn't...

These days, it's hard to find a proper pub. One that has a massive selection of local drinks, is independent and serves honest pub grub at very reasonable prices. During the lockdown we ordered takeaway regularly. Before and now, we try to go every few...

Called in for a cheeky pint which was only £3 so had a couple. Pub is not very salubrious but it has something about it. We didn't eat but the food others had did look good.

Traveling through the area, we passed this pub and decided to stop. We ordered pork and potatoes and a pint of Dartmoor beer. We ordered at the bar and picked a table. Old tunes from the 40’s played and two dogs were in the pub...

It a hard to find a better spot locally when the sun is out. Sitting watching life go by over a cold pint is still one of my favourite past times. Particularly rewarding waving at the passengers on the bus or the train as they...

After a weekend in Falmouth at the International Sea Shanty Festival and drinking Skinners Ales, we called in on the way home to Dartmouth. Passed many times before bit our first visit. Great food and fast service. And back to my usual drink Cider. A...

As the title suggests we had a lovely lunch time drink with some cracking food in the sun. Perched above the road we watched life pass us by while enjoying some cider. The rhubarb cider is a must to try! We had a really good...

Following a trip to Ivybridge for a rugby match, we were fortunate enough to stumble across this homely pub. Beautifully positioned to watch the sun set the staff were hospitable, the food hot and delicious. We arrived late afternoon and whilst they had clearly had...

Visited again with family for dinner and drinks, great place, great food and friendly staff, an awesome pub with a great atmosphere!

Food is simple but well cooked and good value for money. All the usual pub favourites. Good range of local real ales. Friendly service. Family and dog friendly. Would get five stars but decor is a bit dated.

Visited with a friend tonight for dinner, excellent welcoming and friendly service with a smile, the food was amazing at great prices, will certainly be back again!!

On the way back to Plymouth, a lunch stop called for. A visit back to the H&G for lunch and a beer or two. Great food and choice of five real ales. Keep up the fine work Olly and Co.

This Horse and Groom is a very dated traditional type of establishment that is very relaxing to be in. We were there for over 3 hours and time just flew by.The comprehensive menu has some traditional favourites along with some more contemporary meals. The coffee served is also very nice. Service is very good and the meals all arrived at the table together, hot and presented well. Only one disappointing thing is there was only one dressed crab salad left (it looked lovely). The fish cakes are also delicious. The whole party of 9 enjoyed all the various meals that they had ordered.

Visited today with friends, 1st time but it won't be the last. Good draught beers and excellent food, staff were very pleasant and helpful

Finally got around to trying the food here one sunny Saturday lunch time,

A locals pub, but friendly. The food is always hot and cooked well, and not too expensive. Ollie cooks a really great steak, just as you want it, and there is take away availed too.

La peor comida que he probado en un tiempo de madera. Pedí una mezcla cocinada de tamaño. parrilla

Went to a Beer and Cider Festival held regularly in aid of local charities. Good Beers and Ciders not to mention the ylocal sausages and live music. Greta afternoon and evening.

Una mezcla entre un pub muy cutre y un gran restaurante es una combinación rara. Situado justo al lado de una carretera, el ruido es normalmente insoportablemente fuerte y interrumpir. Ponen una buena salchicha y festival de sidra cada año que es su mejor época del año. Los camareros no eran lo que se podría llamar amable pero el servicio fue rápido y sin problemas. La comida era promedio de huevos con jamón y patatas fritas, difícilmente puede ser un desastre, pero una hamburguesa así que fui para la opción segura y fue sorprendentemente bien. Probablemente no volveremos, pero una visita agradable todos juntos.
