The Journeys End Inn in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited several times over the years with friends who live locally, Winter or Summer, always a special time. Great beer, really fantastic Sunday Roasts, a menu to suit everyone through the week and friendly hosts and lovely staff. What many pubs try to emulate but fail - this is the real deal.

Lovely oldie-worldie village pub with friendly staff and delicious food. In fact, I’d rate the Thai mussels as the best I’ve ever had! The Journeys End isn’t open daily for food, therefore book ahead to make sure you don’t miss out.

We went for Sunday lunch today. It isn't the first time we've been. The food is phenomenal, whether Sunday roast or the normal menu, the quality is outstanding which is all complemented by some truly lovely real ales.

Having visited this area many times and when calling up last minute for a table we have not been able to get in to the journeys inn. This time I pre booked via email for Sunday lunch and an evening meal. Sunday lunch we were greeted by Paul who was so very welcoming and gave our dog a treat. Paul was so friendly and accommodating. Sunday roast, exceptional!! Plenty of food that was very tasty and cooked to perfection. We will be returning tomorrow for our evening meal and my only problem is choosing which meal to indulge in!! If you are lucky enough to get a reservation you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely surroundings, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. However, the food which was well cooked was just over facing. The portions were huge which for some would be a positive but for us a negative. The food for one was enough for four people and so much food must be thrown away. For me, being presented with a huge plate of food is a turn off and we won’t be returning.

A real hidden gem. The nachos and chicken burger are absolutely delicious! We return every year during our trip to Devon.

I have visited the Inn, twice . The Inn did not disappoint and was excellent. I enquired at the door for a table as I did not have a booking and the restaurant went out of their way to seat us. The food was excellent and it was very pleasing to hear the food was locally sourced which was of great importance. I certainly will visit again and recommend this to visitors, family and friends.

I’m obsessed. This is the most beautiful country pub. It has so much charm as do the owner Tracy, her husband and the staff. The Sunday roast is unlike any other pub roast. It is always cooked to perfection and has so much variety. Keep it up, you legends. We travel from Dartmoor regularly in normal times ..

Beautiful risotto and moreish chips. As others have noted, the treacle tart is a must. I also recommend the apple crumble tart, which was addictive.

Had lunch here today and it was excellent.The staff were very friendly and helpful and the fish and chips were delicious.Would definitely eat here again.

We turned up for a quick lunch, without a booking on the last day before lockdown when the inn was very busy. The friendly staff managed to squeeze us in and we were delighted they did. The fish and chips were terrific as was the vegetarian burger, which my wife (a vegetarian for over 40 years) considered the best she'd ever had.

We were doing a circular walk from Bigbury-On-Sea and arrived at the Journeys End about 2pm. This was about half way round the walk. I’d read great reviews on TA and we’d worked up an appetite. Imagine our disappointment when we arrived and found you have to book a table, even at lunchtime. However, the staff felt sorry for us and the chef soon rustled up an excellent fish and chips for us. It was lovely. The staff were very pleasant and we were made to feel most welcome. So my recommendation is that you always book a table here, you’ll not be disappointed.

Ate another Sunday roast at this tucked away pub. The beef was lovely and rare, the pork was succulent and sweet, the veg was generous and very tasty. Would throughly recommend the Sunday roasts at this pub

This pub/ restaurant deserves to do well. The food is absolutely amazing. I went for the marinated mushrooms. When it came out it was not what I was expecting. BUT Wowsas it tasted amazing. The entire meal was great and what ever you choose here you will not be disappointed. Not only is the food great but the front of house staff are great too. Nothing is too much and very attentive.

Found this on line and decided to try after our walk. Lovely food. We had the duck and the sweet figs . Very nice. The staff were friendly. You do need to book for an evening meal as we found out they are fully booked for this week. We will go back though.

The food was very good, beautifully situated in a delightful little village. Tables spaced out well during these COVID days.

Called here Saturday lunch time for a drink and sandwich lunch. Disappointed to be told not taking any more food orders as they have a table of nine in. When asked was suggested I book a table in future. Also, in my opinion, not covid safe. No sanitizer or track and trace details asked for.

Whilst on a scenic costal walk n the South Hams we came across this amazing pub hidden away in a picture postcard village with thatched stone built cottages. Dating back to 1300 this pub oozed all the charm and character you would expect and more, but the young front of house team were more than up to the challenge of 21st century service expectations with a friendly welcome and attentive service. It was lunch time and the bar menu was more than ample and I went for the sausage and mashed potato with onion gravy - absolutely delicious and probably the best I've ever tasted. With well kept beers, affordable prices and a relaxing atmosphere it would have been very easy to stay longer but the walk beckoned and I had to return to the 21st C but we will be back.

Booked weeks in advance because this place comes highly recommended and is very busy! Food was amazing, ordered crispy beef noodles and buttermilk chicken burger to share between 2. Food was delicious, drinks great and staff so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend

Traditional old pub with a lovely back garden, I really good find after a long walk! Good selection of food which was amazing!! Who knew a simple buttermilk chicken burger could be SO AMAZING?! The only reason for me not scoring the full marks was the service. Everyone was really friendly and very good until you got to the landlady (I think). It all seemed like too much hard work for her and she certainly didn’t make us feel welcome. Shame as her staff were fantastic.

If you are not needing gluten free I would definitely recommend this place. however despite informing upon advance booking that one of us was coeliac they were very unprepared and the waitress did not understand what coeliac disease was - thinking that cornflour and sesame oil is a no go when in fact it is fine and egg noodles would make me ill and I’m fine with rice noodles.This lack of knowledge made me very nervous to eat and not enjoy the experience as I could have done. Shame as what we had was nice and the fear of whether what I was eating was fine or not did put a dampener on my husbands birthday lunch out. I know it can be a pain but it’s much easier for the waitresses to know what meals can be adapted to gf in advance or listed on the board without either a busy kitchen being asked or the customer having to guess the ingredients.

Ricotta fritters, crispy duck pancakes and treacle tart. All delicious. Fritters especially were a delight, light and flavourful with just a hint of lemon. Perfect. Duck was excellent, loved the addition of mint. Huge portion - just as well I had it as a main course! Huge slab of proper treacle tart was cooked to perfection with crisp pastry which was spot on. Would have preferred clotted cream to ice cream though. Service was excellent.

This pub was next-door to our cottage, the food was ace - great chinese menu! The dessert and wine list were excellent. Highly recommended. The setup was very Covid secure - no menu just chalk board and card payments only.

Our favourite south Devon pub. Tons of character. Food is always exceptional and customer safety now at the forefront.

Staying at a nearby campsite and found this great pub on an evening stroll! Very Covid compliant, felt nice and safe, we only had a drink in the pretty beer garden as it was fully booked for food (book ahead to avoid disappointment!) Seeing the food that was coming out we realised we had to come back. We returned the next day and oh my days the food is amazing. The starters were huge, mains so tasty. We were so full we couldn’t even look at the dessert menu let alone eat another thing! A hidden gem with super friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Sunday: After a brisk walk to Aymer Cove I was glad of a really creamy hot Latte. Perfect. 3 great looking roast beefs were delivered to our table and I was jealous - their veg and Yorkshire Puds looked terrific. Then my veggie roast arrived. Woohoo! But immediately a fabulous bubbling pot of cauliflower cheese and a bowl full of greens came too! Soooooo yummy. A good Sunday roast isn’t complete without a crumble so we squeezed one of those in between two of us - just delicious. Terrific staff - all so friendly & welcoming. The dog was welcome too! Thank you x

Probably the best ham sandwich ever! Atmospheric old pub with feisty, friendly landlady. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely atmospheric pub on a quiet Sunday evening, warm welcome from the lady serving behind the bar, wonderful Black Rat cide

Booked a table for four on the last day of our holiday, we were staying in Bigbury and this pub was recommended in the visitors book in our apartment.We were not disappointed, If you go remember the car park is a small walk from the pub.We sat in the pub area, the other dining area looked a bit clinical but OK.Large choice of beers, although the one I wanted had run out, food was great. worth another visit when we are next in the area.We left at about 10pm, the village did not have many street lights which made the view of the stars superb.great evening thanks.

The food was nice but the landlady made us feel really unwelcome because we hadn’t booked a table. Really disappointing as we would have had a nice time otherwise. Avoid!

Great little old fashion pub, good selection of beers and wines. Food very good with plenty of selections! 👍🍻

My Sister and Partner where down from Scotland and I suggested The Journeys End Inn as Friday was their last day ( seemed fitting). We six of us had very lovely meals in this atmospheric old Inn. I have reviewed the Inn for a Sunday Lunch which was fantastic, but this was a week day. The staff were friendly and service was very good with only a short wait for the food, very reasonably priced. I will be back and can highly recommend this Inn.

Just returned from a lovely lunch on a dark and drizzly September Wednesday. Very lovely food, good atmosphere and very pleasant staff. We were recommended to go by the owner of our airbnb in Bigbury on Sea and were not disappointed.

A wonderful Sunday lunch! Delicious, will definitely return! And great staff! The Sunday lunch is a little more expensive than other pubs, but so worth the visit for a special occasion!

After a nice walk along the coastal path we went for pub lunch. Friendly staff, dog friendly with a good choice of ales. The Fish and chips were the best I’ve had for ages and the treacle tart was delicious.

Went walking down to Ayrmer Cove from NT car park, blissfully empty beach! Walked back via circular route, stopped for lunch at this 13th century inn. Food, home cooked and delicious, service well timed with good portions for us adults and children. Prices reasonable for mains, £7 for pudding but once again home cooked. I would recommend eating here wholeheartedly.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful setting but spoiled by the barman who feels it’s acceptable to dismiss members of the public just for asking for a table for a meal, an empathetic “sorry, we’re fully booked would have sufficed” instead of the curt response we received.

Two visits (6th & 9th August) while we were staying in Ringmore with our our family and two grandchildren (who were both well looked after). Absolutely fantastic (as always, we have been before). Lovely old atmospheric pub with plenty of character. Yes, you do have to book, but that is because there are only a small number of staff who want to provide the best they can without being overrun. The food is really delicious, beautifully cooked and presented. Local ales to top it all off. Thank you ever so much Tracy and Conor.

Beautiful setting. Food was fantastic and plentiful and the service Swift. I was however very disappointed with the woman who appeared to be supervising the staff on the floor. I found her to be efficient but unwelcoming.

This inn is not easy to find. It is the only pub on this section of the Coastal Path so it's full of walkers. Food portions, perhaps as a consequence are huge/hearty. There are copious amounts of mustard with the beef or ham so beware! There's a garden and a conservatory. They are dog-friendly. They are closed on Mondays and only do lunch between 12.00 and 14.00, not all day.

Wow! What a find. Worth the driving around country lanes trying to find the place. Rewarded with finding a beautiful pub in a beautiful village serving beautifully looking and tasting food with the options of drinking local ales.

We saw some conflicting reviews about this pub but have no hesitation in recommending it. We (including our dog) were made very welcome by all the very attentive staff and we had an excellent meal in a wonderful setting. I had fish and chips to die for. The menu is varied and interesting. If the chance arises, I would go back again to try some other choices.

This pub is in the ridiculously beautiful village of Ringmore. The pub looked amazing as you walk up to it and I loved the main bar and beer garden. Drinks selection was good and I was really impressed with our food; nachos and duck! The friendly pub cat was an added bonus! :)

We had recently arrived and at 12.30 pm hoped we would be able to be in time or Sunday lunch. This is a pretty pub in a lovely Devon village and on entering, I asked if it would be possible to eat and if meals were served in the garden. We were told in rather unfriendly terms: "You can if you can find a table, but make sure it is not near the pizza oven as we don't serve there." We found several vacant tables that seemed to be in the right area and went to the bar to order. However, a man behind the bar then announced: "You can't order food because you haven't booked. As you can see we are busy in here." He then rolled his eyes. We left. Well done to the last reviewer who at least got served here. Apparently the food is good, but with this type of 'hospitality' would avoid at all costs.

Lovely old pub beautiful village busy this early evening so just had a soft drink as didn't want to eat in the modern conservatory extension instead of in the old bit. I had a lime and soda £1 70 eeek my partner had a ginger beer non alcoholic £3 90 we thought the prices were high for soft drinks and were told it was because of the sugar tax ...lime and sodas range usually from 50p to 1 20 at most and ginger beer no more than 2 75 ..noticed there was a query about the price of lager on an earlier post.

Visited this cosy pub for dinner, in peak of the summer. Very welcoming landlord, who showed us to table in conservatory. Very hot evening, but good ambience of a village pub, very relaxed. Food was excellent, I had fish soup to start which was tasty and included large pieces of fish, followed by Hangar Steak, cooked rare - excellent. Finished with Raspberry Sherry Trifle. Other party members had beef burgers which were appreciated, but the Beef Onglet - Egg Noodles choice was the popular one.

Based on the positive reviews we walked from Bigbury on sea to The Journeys End in Ringmore.

Lovely pub. The food is so good here I almost don't want to tell people about it! It is a find and a place we go back to again and again

Kate and I had a lovely lunch here before walking down to the beach.

Amazing food amazing service amazing staff, great value for money, this pub in the jewel in the crown , it is a lovely little pub hidden away, but is always busy, its food is of the best quality

Staying in a nearby village we booked a table for 6 for last night. On arrival we were greeted by the cheery most pleasant landlady. Being unfamiliar with the beers on offer we were offered samples to help us choose.

Nice lunchtime menu . Wild mushroom soup full of hearty flavours , du with pancakes an unusual but very good choice . Nicely kept cask Beer with a good choice . A nice walk down to the cove . Friendly landlady and staff

If you’re looking for a warm welcome don’t bother going to The Journeys End Inn. We were told we could have fish and chips and nothing else as they were too busy to offer us anything else. We would have considered settling for that but the landlady was curt and extremely unfriendly. She needs to learn the art of hospitality. We certainly won’t be returning.

If you want a traditional pub with great atmosphere and wonderful food this is the place for you. No other words are needed it was perfect. Booking a table is recommended.

Firstly parking - this is a Devon village, so it was around long before the car was invented so, as you come into the village, opposite the church is the pub car park. Stick it in there, its free, and then follow the signs, walk down hill, its about 200 yds and then you're all sorted...you wont be able to park outside the pub, so dont even try, and there are residents to consider.

My grandmothers best friend recently lost her husband after 32 years of marriage and so our family hosted her on a trip to Devon to revisit where they spent their honeymoon. We arrived at the pub, the door was open but the landlady shouted at us very rudely that the pub was closed and told us to wait outside in the horrible stormy weather for 15 minutes. Having done this, we walked in and my grandmothers friend mentioned that she came to this pub on her honeymoon with her late husband. The landlady scoffed at her and made a comment about 'how long ago that must have been'. Needless to say we left before purchasing any food or drinks. It put a huge downer on the trip. Local friends always warn us to avoid the Journeys Inn at all costs, and now I know why. I would advise the landlady to sell up and start a business where she doesnt need to act hospitably to human beings any more...... Absolutely appalled by her behaviour.

We found this little pub by chance and stopped for lunch, the food for all 5 of us was really excellent. Everything was homemade, piping hot and totally delicious

Best we have ever had outside our own kitchen

We visited the Journey's End today for a family birthday celebration. We could not speak highly enough of the food and the staff. Two of our party had a requirement for a vegan option which was catered for very well. We also had great advice from the landlady about ordering for the children. All of our requirements were well met and the food, a Sunday roast, was delicious. Great choice of real ales too! We'll be back.

We stayed at Challaborough Bay caravan park and visited this gorgeous little village pub. Lovely pub, friendly bar staff and the Sunday roast was delicious.

Set in the picturesque village of Ringmore and not far from the NT's Ayrmer Cove, the Journeys End is a delightful 600 year old Inn, bursting with character. The lunch menu was varied, interesting and, as witnessed by peas being shucked by the barman, very fresh. The food arrived quickly and was very good with very tasty crushed peas served with the excellent fish and chips. There is also a good selection of drinks, both cider, craft ales and lagers. Very well worth a visit.

We visited this pub on three occasions whilst visiting Devon last week. The food was outstanding every time. The Sunday lunch is fantastic, cooked absolutely beautifully. You will not leave this pub hungry.

Isn't it great when the restaurant gives you the menu and it is not the same old.....The Menu was exciting and the food was exceptional. The service was brilliant and it is an independant family run business. They were helpfull in every way even with visit recommendations!!! Outstanding.

Stayed down the road on holiday and found this pub by accident when walking the dogs. We were drawn In by the lovely smells in the kitchen. We ordered a yummy roast dinner. It was so tasty and juicy. It’s just a shame this isn’t place isn’t close to home otherwise I would be coming here every Sunday!

Fresh locally sourced Roasts, Succulent Beef, large helpings (for the faint hearted go for smaller adult portions) Yorkshire Puds to die for!

We enjoyed an amazing Sunday roast here to celebrate my birthday. It was delicious! Crispy Yorkies, succulent meat and a huge variety of vegetables- amazing

On the way to Burgh Island we were advised to call the hotel aheadfrom Anne's chapel so thought to put into the Pickwick Inn for lunch...luckily for us it was shut and the sign at the crossroads pointed to The Journeys End so we set off in hope

Dropped in after a 23 mile Hike/Run starting from Bigbury-On-Sea, feeling hungry! Excellent choice of food, friendly Staff, food was very well presented and tasty, enjoyed the local real ale as well. Let me stay in their flat car park over night in my small Camper, overall a great experience and well worth a visit.

Ate here today with my sister, brother in law and his family and the food was amazing! I'm a vegan and palm oil free (a pain in the arse) but they don't use palm oil in anything and the vegan option was insane! I had beetroot and chickpea in pastry with veg and a banging gravey, it was an actual mouthgasm! The rest of the fam had roast pork/beef and the portion sizes are massive as well as everything being made from local produce and freshly made. The waitress with the pink hair was nice eye candy too haha, would definitely recommend the pub to anyone, we live locally so will definitely be coming for food again!

I went to this great pub/restaurant with my 18 year old son. The quality of the food was really good; the staff very friendly. It was a bit expensive but you get what you pay for 😎

This is a very historic pub in a pretty village with just amazing food!

In the sleepy village of Ringmore, we really enjoyed our visit to The Journey's End on the last evening of our holiday. Due to driving commitments, we weren't able to sample from the extensive collection of beer/cider barrels behind the bar! Our dog was comfortable by the open fire.

It said on the door “ We are open come in” It should have added if you want to be glared at not spoken to and made to feel totally unwelcome. Horrible pub now. As locals we remember how it was prior to change of Land lord. Then it was a lovely warm welcoming place. We have many Happy memories of how it used to be. Hospitality the name of the game in this Trade. Would suggest this couple try a business which doesn’t have face to face contact with the public. Coffee as cold as the atmosphere vulgar prices. Don’t bother it’s not a nice experience at all.

We arrived having found the good reviews online so thought it was worth a try. Nice welcome & don’t be fooled by the tired decor, the food was amazing. We all decided if the mains were as good as they were the puddings were worth a go and they didn’t disappoint either, some meals are worth the calories and this was one of them! Absolutely delicious.

We really enjoyed our lunch at this pub, having walked to Ringmore from the Coast Path. The menu offered much more than the usual pub fare. We thought the Lebanese flatbread dish was excellent, and the duck leg pancakes were also delicious, albeit a bit too salty. The cloth napkins were a lovely touch. We also appreciated the pub's commitment to reducing its use of plastic. The staff were very friendly.

Fabulous old-school 14th century pub nestled in a valley that leads to the coast path. There's a walk to the door from the car park that less hardy walkers will struggle with, so drop off and walk down if you can, drivers! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff (who couldn't do more when we had to send a pork lunch back...great stuff) and a good amount of space, but you are strongly advised to book ahead..as for the food - Amazing! The portions on the Sunday lunches could feed several small horses if required...let alone three holidaymakers! Loved it, so booked up for next Tuesday. Don't miss out!

This pub never fails. We just had a fantastic roast with friends. Delicious beef sirloin cooked to perfection with all the trimmings, fabulous setting and very friendly staff -even with our boisterous 3 year olds in tow. Delicious and cozy, perfect Sunday. Thank you!

A lovely pub in a great little village. Good food, although not a huge choice at lunchtime - sandwiches in particular were really good. Limited real ales available on our visit. Service was prompt and friendly.

Every time I come here I wonder how I could forget how excellent the food is. The atmosphere is that of a pub from yesteryear and how pubs in Devon should be. The nene of the pub is perfect because you wouldn’t want to journey any further having found this place! Connor and Tracey run a gem of a business and have an adventurous menu. Don’t think for a second that you’re visiting an average pub grub boozer.

Always willing to give a pub a second chance, especially since our friends had told us the new chef was great. The last time we came, a few years back, we'd been made unwell by the food and so it was with some trepidation that we returned. We ordered a pair of pints and both chose fish and chips. The food arrived (a bit too) quickly. The two huge mounds of fish were in a batter that I have never seen before: at least 5mm thick, brown and soggy on the outside, undercooked on the inside- more like a dough- so stodgy that it had to be scraped off. The fish inside was questionable- it didn't taste like cod and was undercooked. The huge chips had that 'old potato' taste- a sign of cold leftovers, reheated for convenience. Memories of our last visit came flooding back and we couldn't eat any more. We went to pay up and had to query the bill- £12 for two pints of beer!! £5 for Estrella, £7 for Erdinger!! OK Erdinger is a special beer but at that price, you need to advertise the price so you know not to order another one! We left the pub felling ripped off and disgusted by what we had eaten. Never has a pub made us feel like this before on TWO occasions. We won't be giving it a third chance.

After a long walk across some lovely beaches, we headed up to Ringmore and the JE.

Great fish and chips in thi pub with real ale straight from the barrel Cosy fire and comfortable traditional pub Charlie and Jane

Sunday lunch is my favourite meal of the week. It is often difficult to find great places but not anymore! Lunch was stunning. It could be argued the portion sizes were too big, but I wasn’t complaining! Service was attentive and the food for 5 arrived together and hot. Will we return? You bet! Cannot wait to visit Bigbury again and stop here for Sunday lunch.

We visited the journeys end inn after having fun on bigbury beach. I must admit this was the most enjoyable Sunday lunch I have had for a long time.. why? Firstly the food was delicious, but they do things differently... the Sunday lunch had a skillet of roasted veg, including celeraic, onions, parsnip and carrots. Added to that was great portion size and the final piece was a great journeys inn beer. The pub has a conservatory area which is light and lovely. The landlady is great too.. all in all it is the best place in the area for Sunday lunch. But book up!!!

Visited multiple times. Great place to relax and have a good time with either friends or even by yourself. Great food and great service.

Had 2 meals down at this great little pub. Nothing too much trouble..we have 2 vegans in the party ..with a couple of allergies...chef made them some great food...the burger and pulled pork nachos are fantastic...beer is pretty good as well...it is advisable to book though as it does get busy

After a nice walk with the dogs we called in for a spot of lunch and a well deserved drink, we all decided on a steak sandwich served with with some lovely chips. There were some really nice other choices but the steak won!! The dogs were welcomed in and were quite happy to lay on the carpet soaking up the chilled out atmosphere. Lovely little pub give it a try

My wife and I visited this pub 3 days in a row as the food was excellent. This pub gives you a good sized portion of very good food and beer. It was 6pm when we went, it was quiet but getting busy even at this time.

This is a lovely old pub in a picturesque village near the fabulous beach at Bigbury on Sea. Went yesterday for Sunday lunch with group of four. Warm welcome and good food - the mushroom soup was delicious and fragrant with tarragon. Roast beef and pork beautifully cooked, nice roast potatoes and Yorkshire pud with an array of well cooked vegetable side dishes including cauliflower topped with cheese, parsnips carrots and separate peas and greens. Portions enormous so you might forego the starter or make sure you are really hungry when you get there. Would definitely go again.

A lovely old and atmospheric building, with imaginative and tempting food, which is served with a smile and is delicious! It totally deserves the accolade of Best Pub in Devon 2017/18. Best to book, as obviously gets very busy. Recommend the sausage and mash, the prawn noodles, the trifle and the marmalade pudding. Could not be faulted.

Second time we have been there and just as good. Super Creedy duck to make into pancake rolls. Thatcher’s cider was nice and cold and in excellent condition.

This pub won "Best Pub in Devon 2017/2018" and certainly gave us good meals in the evening and the following lunchtime after a coastal path walk. Starters included goats' curd with figs and honey and very popular duck with pancakes. Local lobster followed as well as meat dishes and the variety of beers on offer was appreciated. We had booked a 6.30 meal in order to be fitted in. The following day all the indoor tables were full but we had a good steak sandwich, burger and more goats' curd lunch outside. Children were welcomed and there as a menu for them. Journey's End was voted our best holiday eaterie.

Old fashioned village inn, serving a connoisseur’s selection of ales and ciders. Excellent food, serving foods in season. This year we were too late for the usually sublime squid. Always busy in the holiday season, full of families staying at local holiday houses. Booking essential.

Totallly disregard any previous negative reviews. The Journeys End offers top quality food normally only available in quality restaurants showing distinctive imagination and flair. If you want everyday fast food this will not be for you.

Warm welcome and always good service. Quirky garden area thoughtfully designed. The menu is a little bit different from most. We had a noodle dish,a sandwich and shell on prawns. All very nicely done and presented. Prices are reasonable for such good food. We have only Sat I side before which can be a little gloomy......it is however a very old pub. The additional conservatory area is a bit lacking in character but provides needed space on a busy Sunday. We have never been disappointed with the food having been about 5 times now.

The reason I’ve headed this review fabulous three times is during our weeks stay in Bigbury on sea we eat at the Journeys end three times.

We didn't eat here but just had a pint in the beer garden, which is enclosed with a vegetable garden and chicken run, plus some lovely flowers and shrubs. the pub is friendly and welcoming and has plenty of character.

Great place to stop on our round walk from Bigbury. Lunch was delicious and in particular the bread was amazing - fluffy, fresh and tasty. Pint of prawns and a ham sandwich sounds very boring but the bread and garnishes were fabulous. Great cider too. Lovely quirky really old interior and garden pleasant to sit out and eat - shame on the couple who let their dog fowl the garden and then left a huge pile of poop behind!

We have been visiting this pub for many years. The beer, wine, cider etc is excellent, the food is outstanding, the staff and ambience are welcoming. The Sunday lunch is the best we have experienced and the lunch time and evening menus are varied and exciting. Most ingredients are locally sourced. We cannot fault this pub. Well done Tracy and Conor for their awards!

Heard great reviews about this place so whilst on holiday thought give it a try, wish now we didn't can't understand why it's the best restaurant 2017-2018 they don't really look after their customers had an awful experience whilst eating there my son and myself ordered the burger after trying to work out how to eat the burger my son went to take a bite when I noticed a green crawling caterpillar on top of his burger, got the waiter to sort it out with hardly any apology and the same burger came back which put my son and myself of our meal all together, we tried to eat the chips but couldn't stomach anything after that, no apologies from any other member of staff not even the landlady and she still charged us the full price on the bill. Couldn't face arguing anymore as we just wanted to leave, and we won't be ever going back there again.
