The Horse in Teignbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We came here by chance, but got the best pizzas I've had in a long time!!! Delicious thin base and good toppings.

Unimprovable. This is a place other gastro / bistro pubs aspire to be. The whole lunchtime experience completely foodie delight.

Didn't eat. But this place has the ambiance

Amazing pizza and good beer. Phenomenal service though which made my evening, solo waitress had the entire place in total control, never stopped and was lovely to everyone she spoke to, kudos to her👏

Glorious location, Good food and beverages

We do not eat a lot of pizza but have to say the pizza here is excellent. We all (X4) had a different choice and everyone was more than impressed. The premises are well presented and lovely and clean and the staff are helpful and friendly. If you are visiting Dartmoor and fancy a pizza you should really give this place a go.

Sensational ! Perfect food, atmosphere and service. Wide variety of options for all tastes and expenses. Nice, quiet and great place to have dinner or relax in the pub.

A lovely village pub with great staff. The food is simply fabulous. The pizzas are without doubt the best we've ever had outside of Italy.

Lovely place stopped of for a drink Lovely friendly staff

Really lovely local place. Great Reuben’s sandwich w fries. A pint and glass red £53 all in.

Excellent pub with lovely food. Pizzas a speciality.

The best pizza I have ever tried in my life!

excellent in every way! The chef here is outstanding. The Indian inspired cuisine is delicious. Wonderful staff and service

Trés bonne cuisine italo britannique. De bonnes pizzas, un service super efficace, de la gentillesse ... nous n'en demandons pas plus pour un prix correct.

As The Horse had put on a brilliant birthday party meal (25 people, sat down) for me, late last year, I chose the venue again for this buffet style event for a much larger party. Marlene and the staff were excellent in every respect, from the planning a liitle over two weeks beforehand, to when we arrived mid-afternoon, to when the last of us left, late in the evening. Nothing was too much trouble, food/drink superbly set out, helpful advice given regarding amount/composition of food/drink, wonderful and efficient manner of the staff, quality of the food and presentation........overall, a faultless display of catering for a large number of people over a lengthy period of time and at a reasonable price. As a couple, all the way through to larger groups, I have dined here and brought friends for drinks here, and would thoroughly recommend The Horse as a 'destination' to visit if you are anywhere in this part of Devon or to come to if you live here. The food is second to none and the staff's helpfulness is unmatched. Five stars all round!

Lovely place would go back again, staff were lovely, food was great very tasty, have recommended to friends

I had the meatball 'bada bing' calzonne. It was fine, but didn't quite live up to the hype of "...the best pizza this side of Rome". Portions were generous, and the food was nicely presented. Perfectly reasonable dinner, but I have had better. Service was perfectly pleasant, just not the fastest, given the place wasn't full.

Friendly atmosphere. Great pizza. Delicious dessert -creme brule. Good service. Enjoyable experience

Yummy pizzas and tasty puddings. We had a lovely time here

Nice pub with really good pizzas. Also the frittata is really good. We enjoyed our stay. The waitress was very friendly. We definitely will come back and recommend.

Fantastic place, pastrami was absolutely delicious. Pizza menu was super interesting and well executed. Will deffo be back. thanks guys spot on

A lovely place with fantastic food had a slight issue which was dealt with with the utmost professionalism, well worth a visit.

We had gone to The Horse for a friends birthday, we were a large group but were given a single table in one of the numerous rooms. The evening went really well with excellent food, we had started with a large shared plate of cut meats and cheese and I followed this by the mussels and chips. All the food was excellent. The pub is very good and can be recommended for large and small groups.

We’re local people and eat regularly at The Horse but I’ve never written a review. Last week we had dinner with some elderly friends who were visiting and the evening was just perfect. The food (from pizza to steak) was top notch, the service warm and welcoming and they dealt brilliantly with our coeliac friend. Oh… and the desserts were really delicious! We’re very lucky to have this on our doorstep.

Great Thursday music night featuring the band Horseradish. Good Pizzas.

Amazing place , beer and food what else? The staff are very kind

I have been hiking/walking all over the Dartmoor area, trying many pizzas as I go, and was disappointed every time until today. I had a cheese-less mushroom pizza, and as a Chicagoan that tries pizza everywhere I go, I can honestly say this was one of the best I’ve ever eaten anywhere. The crust was handmade, cracker-thin in the middle, flaky and bubbly at the edge. Sauce was thin and sweet and mildly flavored, total perfection. Was worth the 10 mile walk to get here and I’d do it again happily any day, sad to be leaving tomorrow and can’t come back for another one before I go!

so good we went back twice in our week long stay. This feels like still a pub for locals to congregate at the bar as well as plenty of dining space for, well diners. We ordered both times a salad as a main and shared a pizza, both evenings the pizza was absolutely mouth watering and the salads were fresh and innovative and super tasty. I didn't see a Negroni but asked for one both nights and was blessed with very well made cocktails both evenings. We just loved it here - great mix of local chat and happy people eating lovely food. Shout out to the pub dog - Finlay? - we wanted to take him home with us. Thank you and hope we can return.

A restaurant we would love to somehow bring to our home town. It would rival some of our big city Italian restaurants. Excellent menu, excellent presentation, excellent meals.

We had such a great evening ...relaxed , lovely food , friendly and helpful staff . A proper local pub , no piped music , just the gentle hum of quiet conversation . Please don't change your USP ....it is a complete joy to find somewhere so authentic and consistently excellent. Well done !

The best pizza ever! The bases are fantastic and the topping selections delicious and varied. All of the produce used here is also of excellent quality. A great little find. My only criticism would be that the ambience in the restaurant area at the back is a little lacking. But thoroughly recommend

One of the best pizzas I've ever had, one of the worst desserts. Lovely environment, Eastern pizza was lovely on a light, crisp base. Ice cream was a bit of an insult and not cheap.

Really Really enjoyed my The Don Pizza and my Crème Brûlée.

Enjoyed a fantastic “Don” Pizza and my wife’s Moule Frite were stunning! A pub in a quiet Devon village on a wet Saturday night that’s absolutely heaving when the surrounding restaurants are virtually empty says everything about The Horse.

When you walk in, it appears to be a pub. Then you sit at the table and begin reading the menu, only to discover that they mostly serve pizza. The waiter was adequate, pleasant but untrained. In general, the service is slow and inattentive. The kitchen is just around the corner, and you can hear the cooks conversing and whistling. The pizza is then delivered. At first glance, it appears to be a good pizza romana, which is typically thin and crunchy. Unfortunately, the pizzaiolo's cooking skills are also very poor. The pizza has been overcooked, with some tomato and mozzarella clearly burnt. The side quickly becomes dry and hard. The concept is sound, but the execution falls short. It is not recommended for Italians or pizza experts.

Top shelf in all respects. Full stop.

Superb pizza, great service, lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic pub, the most brilliant pizzas here , we have booked already to come back

Recommended and featured in the Alastair Sawday pub guide and Trencherman's for food including signature pizzas. A doggy friendly locals' pub. Log burner and comfy. Lofty dining room at the back. Courtyard garden. Well kept real ales on pump. Just the gent's is worth a visit, for the antique urinal, saved apparently from the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Staying nearby, and this place was recommended. I can see why. The pizzas were superb! Some great choices and so tasty. Wish it was closer to home!

Cracking beer, nice staff and decided last minute to eat. The steak pasta was amazing so I’m coming back tomorrow. It’s quite big inside so I think they can accommodate more people but that hasn’t diluted the quality. I’ve seen the pizzas fly past too and they look really good

The welcome party at your establishment for my daughter and future son in law was a wonderful event. The facility was lovely despite the English rain. The food was exceptional as was the presentation. My compliments to the outstanding standard to this husband and wife...

Moreton Hampstead has a few decent places to eat considering it's a small place. This is one of the best if you like good Pizza and pasta. It would have been nice with more choice on the pasta side only no regrets as what they had was very good.

We had an excellent pizza here on a Friday night. So good that we went back for excellent pizzas on the Saturday night. Good desserts too.

Very tasty pizza but fairly lacklustre service and environment. 2 fairly boring real ales. It's OK but not much more.

This is one of our go to places for a good meal. The pizzas are great, but I adore the pasta dishes. The food is always excellent; staff are friendly and efficient. Last nights linguine with King prawns was simply fab. I don’t think there...

Had a some fish and chips it went down a treat. The papillon gin... is the best. Friendly staff good food and great variety of drinks... winner

Gorgeous food and beer at a good price. Friendly staff.

The Horse is usually brilliant, but now it's just another pub with tinny muzak and ruined by a sports screen in the bar. The beer wasn't very good either. What a great shame.

We cycled to Moretonhampstead from Bovey and walked into The Horse to be greeted by a welcoming fire & really friendly member of staff. The choice of ale & cider were perfect & the Dartmoor gin delicious! Pizzas & fish & chips were fabulous and...

Nice vibe and decor though I was here when quiet for a quick drink and a bit of work. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We had cycled the Wray Trail and had already decided on The Horse for lunch from their website. Lovely welcome when we e entered. Nice cozy place, tables well spaced out. Nice pints of Estella and Amstel. We both ordered pizzas and our request to...

We cannot recommend this place enough! The staff were amazing! As we arrived at the place we realised that we had a puncture in our car. We needed to phone the recovery service and we didn’t have our phones available to phone. They offered their phones, they even offered to take us back to the hotel. Amazing hospitality from everyone!!! And on top the food was AMAZING!!!we have never tried these pizzas. We come from London where you have a great variety of foods available but this was superb!!!

The food was very lovely but it was a shame to hear the female chef swearing and speaking rudely to the waitress.

Awesome meal out and great atmosphere. Went back again Thursday for a curry, excellent as always.

Our food this evening was superb can we say thanks to the Chef. The lady that served us was absolutely brilliant she couldn’t have done more to help . Thanks for a fabulous evening. Jen Stringer

Very good food, service and atmosphere.

Good tasty food, quick service- Malene very pleasant

Great pizza in very pleasant setting.

Without a doubt, the best pizza I've had in a long time!

Fantastic food excellent service. Accommodate us last minute with a dog and nothing was too much. Highly reccomended.

We had pizza and sirloin steak, both were very good. Our Waitress could have been a little happier (perhaps she was new) but the waiter and manageress were friendly.

The food served here is top notch and I would recommend the chicken meatball pasta dish over the pizza (which I also tried on another occasion). The other dishes aside from the promoted pizza are excellent in flavour. Unsure why pizza is promoted so much on the menu when Berto’s next door is better for pizza. Mix of friendly and not so friendly staff. Go for the other stuff on the menu, it really is fantastic!

Loved the pizza. Great I could take the dog in. Needs more variety of desserts...

Had the pasta from the specials board and it was just delicious… and there was a smart but fairly relaxed vibe to it. can thoroughly recommend.

We first came to the Horse on a recommendation from our hotel owner in 2013. Now we come back whenever we are down in Dartmoor and were pleased to discover on our most recent trip that it is still a great place to eat. They...

Lovely gastro pub, with a light and fresh decor. Pizza was thin crust and delicious, with great topping. The falafel salad was a hit as well. They are recently open for lunch.

Cool restaurant, okay food. Interesting high ceiling building with nicely spaced tables and cool decor made it a nice atmosphere. We had a vegetarian pizza and the chicken/sage pasta. The pizza was a bit cold, not straight out the oven; the pizza base was not...

Ate at the Horse while staying in Moretonhampstead in June 2021. Welcome was lacklustre where the girl pointed to the table at the end of the restaurant and left us to make our way to said table. Some items on the menu were unavailable which...

Great pizza and super vegan salad the small salad is enough for two people and 1 pizza is enough for two as well

The food here is amazing. Mostly home made - pizzas are great, the flavours are full on, fresh and delicious finished with home made ice cream.

Schönes Pub, gute Küche, freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen wieder

This pub has amazing food and very warm staff. We had lovely antipasti which we devoured followed by the best pizza we have had in the UK. I wondered if their chef was Italian because that is the only place we have had such delicious...

An excellent family evening. Service first class and food just scrumptious.

Excellent Pizzas, wonderful thin crust just like the Italians would serve. All freshly made on the premises. The salad was the best I have had eating out, generous portion and presented well. Great service and arrived quickly.

Amazing lunch sandwiches and the hot crispy chips yum yum! 😋

Delicious food, great ambiance and excellent service- all that and reasonably priced made it a very pleasant evening

The pizza here is the best I’ve had anywhere in the world! It is a very relaxed place, welcomes dogs, friendly staff.

Great food and excellent service.

Certainly lived up to our expectations! Really friendly staff, good atmosphere, great salad and pasta dishes and amazing crispy pizzas! We will be back...

Will definitely use again. The service was spectacular: welcoming, enthusiastic and relaxed. I ordered two pizzas and the quality was top notch. Couldn't fault them at all. £10 for everything on the menu is not only reasonable but easy for customers as well. All COVID measures were adhered to also. Highly recommend!

When it was our first time coming to the Resturant, it was very welcoming was warm. The air was filled with mouthwatering smells. As our hotel manager had recommended the pizza here, it was an obvious choice for me. My family ordered seafood linguini and...

Fabulous starters, main course pizzas and deserts. Good Covid security & very friendly staff. A great experience

Simply fabulous! I’ll keep it brief. Two of us. Shared the charcuterie, steak (perfectly cooked rare), Dahl and wine. All Covid rules including closing time observed. Staff are superb, polite, knowledgeable and credit to the fantastic barman who pulled out all the stops to make...

Went as a couple for an evening meal. Food was excellent. Best meal we have had in ages. Lentil Dahl was SO good along with a superb fiery crisp flatbread. Compliments to the chef!

Overpriced food which wasn't anything special. Service was ok.

Really great dining experience, quirky “hipstery” pub/restaurant with lovely details and cute cat... food followed an Italian feel and did not disappoint, antipasto selection was amazing though rather small for price and pizzas were delicious. Only gripe was that we were sat on benches so...

Six of us dined there last night(26 August 2020) four adits and two children. We had an excellent meal with friendly service. The food was of a high standard and the portion size was good, the children's fish and chips would have been enough for...

Yep, I know it sounds weird but it kind of worked. We shared the lentil curry as a starter and it was awesome. Plenty of chilli kick and a sort of deconstructed onion bhaji in the dhal. Followed by a couple of pizzas that were...

Great food, easily the best we had in Moreton. Also the best pint we could find in the village too.

Fabulous authentic pizzas, the staff were polite and attentive and the building was most interesting

Booked a table for dinner and got there early to go for a few drinks beforehand. All tables spaced out in line with social distancing, staff very friendly and attentive and the PIZZA. Omg literally the best pizza I have ever had and only £13!...

Polite and quick service. Great food reasonable priced. Pizza very good and huge. No issue returning. Wish I had a pub/restaurant near us just like this !

We arrived late but we were kindly served pizza. My Calzone was so good and the staff friendly. Highly recommend.

Great pizzas, lovely atmosphere and live music too. Great pub!

The pizza here is absolutely amazing. Drop what you are doing and head there immediately

Great pizzas but very much a locals pub, didn't feel that welcomed on arrival and couldn't really get to the bar for locals marking their territory!

We are local and have regularly eaten here for several years now. We tend to come for the gourmet fish and chips with peas and tartare sauce, or home-made pizza, or steak, all are to a very high standard. Food is fresh and beautifully cooked....

Great place , great atmosphere and fantastic pizza. Would highly recommend and will definitely come again. A very warm welcome and a lovely evening.

Great, reasonably priced tasty food choices. Service was with a smile & attentive. Will go again.
