The London Inn in Mid Devon

This place is AMAZING. The staff were all really lovely and friendly. We'd been advised the meal portions were huge and they definitely were, so much food came out. We had a really nice few hours and really struggled to fit dessert in, however never one to turn down the desserts, the kids tucked in. I would highly recommend this pub for food or a quiet drink. You would need to book in advance though and they don't open monday and Tuesdays.

Visited last night with family....the food was amazing the portion sizes are massive and the quality was great. The bar had my favourite beer offshore on draft as well :) if your visiting the area its well worth a stop.

We were staying in the area and visited the London in for lunch/ dinner the staff were very friendly and helpful.The meals were delicious and extremely generous in their portion size I would advise booking in advance as the pub can get very busy ,we enjoyed the meals very much

First time at this lovely pub. Sunday roast was superb. Plenty of meat and vegetables. Would definitely come again.

We had been invited to play bowls at Morchard Bishop and decided to try this pub and the eight of us were so glad we did the ladies had the small steak and ale pie and the Scampi whilst the men had the regular size steak and ale pie and ham egg and chips. Everyone agreed it was one of the best meals they had ever had in a pub the food was amazing and the chips and vegetables were delicious. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent food and a great atmosphere.

Great place , lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing great portions great taste in fact the best steak and ale pie I’ve ever had!!! So much do we brought some home with us 😝

Fantastic lunch portion sizes are huge quality.produce very friendly and welcoming staff even the dog Stella came to see us my Grandaughter.made friends with her

The service, the food and atmosphere all 5 star. Home cooked food in substantial quantity to satisfy an hungry adult. Can also cater for Coeliacs.

Sunday lunch was absolutely fabulous. Even our 6 year old was super catered for (she's a fussy eater) Well worth the trip to the pub. You will not be disappointed

We visited as a family. The service was just perfect and the food beyond perfect. We had the most incredible evening. Thank you

We visited the pub for lunch on Thursday. Our waitress Lauren was friendly and very attentive . Our food was delicious and the portions were large, so much so we took some home with us. I'm vegan and it's often difficult to find a village pub that caters for my diet, but there was quite a bit to choose from, even a vegan treacle tart and icecream. My partner had the roast beef special and really enjoyed it. Lovely clean pub, great decor and very impressed with the Ladies toilets equipped with deodorant, hand cream, sanitary products, antibac gel and wipes ! We will definitely be visiting again.

another lovely meal at this gorgeous venue. the food is absolutely lush and there is so much of it you couldnt possibly leave there hungry, it is slso really good value for money. definitely worth a visit.

I have been to London Inn on numerous occasions over the years. It was a great pub pre refurbishment, post refurbishment, none of the character has been lost, yet with a fresh modern feel to the furnishings and interior decor, lifts the place up a few notches and into the era of a more modern dining experience. Comfy sofas and armchairs nestle amongst the more formal dining tables and chairs. The bar and waiting staff I have encountered on every visit have always been warm and friendly. Don't be mistaken though, London Inn isn't just a pub for eating. If you just want a drink, of which they have an eclectic selection of beverages you can. You will feel just as at ease popping in to sit with friends to quench your thirst as you would going for a meal with family or friends. The food portions are sizeable enough to feed a small army, and this in no way detracts from the quality of fayre on offer. I have just returned from the London Inn after a superb 2 course Sunday lunch, for a family of 4. The beef was to die for, tender, succulent and full of flavour. The veg cooked beautifully, I've never had peas at a pub this good! We all had 2 drinks each, 3 of us alcoholic beverages, and considering the size of the portions for both courses is stomach busting, a little under £105 I think in today's financial climate and pricing structure is great value. London Inn, well done!

Visiting the area and called in for lunch on Saturday. Amazing drinks service and then fresh prawn sandwiches. Waitress very friendly and informative, cider chilled and great taste. We called in again on Sunday after fabulous walk to have more refreshing drinks and this resulted in us booking dinner here for Thursday evening. We can’t wait to try the full menu on offer.

As we are from Scotland we have not been for a few years but good to see the refurb. The weevisvwarming and the food has not been refurbished at all meaning: excellent. Great taste, nice portions and very good value for money. And that all in the midst of Devon.

Went there for the first time at lunch time. Ordered fish and chips and was devastated to find that instead of being delivered a fresh piece of cod fillet, I received a manicured perfectly shaped catering fillet probably frozen in origin ! The fish was...

Had a lovely meal today, too much food as usual, but all cooked superbly. Have not been for a while as moved away and it was well worth the return journey. Highly recommend it.

The pub has catered for everyone all through the pandemic offering take away, Sarah, Emma and the crew have worked really hard and it is very much appreciated. The food is fantastic, very large portions, enough for lunch the next day! The pub has recently...

Took my Girl holly for meal but didn’t enjoy it potatoes were mushy and carrots like bullets Shall not return in future

Mouthwatering Sunday Roast takeaway For me Father and Mother can see this becoming a regular Sunday ritual during the dark days ahead.

Had the most amazing breakfast bap and local cider at the weekend while sat in the beer garden. What a treat! Fantastic service, food in such a friendly atmosphere. Very much hoping that The London Inn will be our local pub very soon!

Eat here quite often, food always amazing and good proportions! Good choice of menu and drinks. Sweets are amazing with good selection

And a good job we booked. Very nice pub, excellent pint and giant plate of proper home cooked food. Top job. Love Devon; there are many locals of comparable quality doing proper home cooking for sensible money. Thinks perhaps we’ll retire here. The London Inn...

Local food done so well! nothing fancy just fantastic quality ( and quantity ) in a warm welcoming environment The roast is fab my favourite is the Cod in creamy mushroom sauce

What a lovely friendly pub, serving large portions of very tasty home cooked food, so good we had to return three times, to try different meals, all the staff and locals are extremely friendly and helpful, I will certainly be returning to this pub, and...

We enjoyed our meal. service was friendly and efficient. Homely, unpretentious atmosphere. This is a pub you might easily drive past without noticing, but STOP! Its well worth a visit.

This pub is incredible. Food excellent and home made. Huge portions. So make sure your hungry but so worth it. Quaint atmosphere and very friendly. Definitely worth a visit and we will going again very soon

Had a wonderful meal on a busy Saturday night excellent food and smiles all round from staff of all ages would recommend it to any one

We arrived on a very busy night. Food delicious as always but always find the portions too big and unless a doggy bag is used, food gets wasted. I had to use one and I saw three leave the pub whilst eating. Wonderful roasts, and...

We were at the Pennymoor folk festival which is held here every year. We were camping in the field. We went in for dinner to save us cooking in the motor home. We all had the curry which was advertised with rice Jan bread and...

The food is always very top quality - I had no problem taking a friend (who is a chef) and his family, who all really enjoyed their meal.This is our default pub as we live in the next village, but we would happily travel much further.

Superb meal, good choice of menu, excellent value for money, a really friendly pub! You won't leave feeling hungry!

I never fail to get a good meal at The London Inn and have been eating here for years. Food well cooked and plenty of it, in fact more than one can eat! Service is good and it is a friendly country pub. Vera, mother of the chef and quite a character, treats all visitors the same, with down to earth friendliness. A woodburner throws out plenty of heat in the cold weather. The roasts are so flavoursome, served with a good selection of vegetables. The puddings, if you can manage one after the large first course, are a delight. My favourite is the lemon cheesecake on a ginger biscuit base. Excellent menu.

The London used to be our local some 20 years ago, and it was great to come back and see Vera still going strong. It was as if we’d never been away! Lovely food and a great pub. Looking forward to our next visit.

I had the steak pie, it came with chips and fresh vegetables, the portion was large, it tasted homemade and I really enjoyed it. The cost of the meal was very good.

We stopped of and had a Sunday lunch and a couple of drinks the food was excellent and service very good.

Really really nice food sat with the owner before our meal for a chat Vera was very nice and plesant massive portions and would definitely go again

You won’t leave The London Inn hungry!! This is a lovely place to o for a good meal, the menu is good and there is always something on the specials board. The landlady is a brilliant character and the atmosphere is lovely and cosy.

We first visited The London Inn in September 2012 when we were walking the Two Moors Way. Yesterday we returned and we were not disappointed. Vera the land-lady is a star and in our opinion the best land-lady in England.

The London Inn serves traditional, good, pub food. Solid as a rock with big satisfying portions in a traditional village pub.

Plenty of delicious food, great chips and lovely fish. Landlady was a bit strict about where we could sit, but quite a character.

Highly recommend the London Inn for hospitality and delicious home cooked food.

Travelled a good hour to go for lunch well worth the trip.Superb food huge portions of hot tasty food likewise the puddins.Service great,welcome friendly and prices great value. Still full 12 hours later.Thanks vera and staff

Evening meal warm, comfortable welcoming atmosphere, brilliant helpful friendly staff. Varied menu, good quality food, ample portions - good solid home cooking, will certainly be back!

First visit to this lovely village pub. Woodburner providing a warm welcome and Vera a friendly one. Atmosphere was great as several people eating in the quite spacious bar area. Food was great and plentiful. Great homemade chips. Good choice on menu and reasonably priced. Large car park and dogs allowed in bar area make this a popular pub to visit. Will definitely be back.

Second visit to this village pub just a few miles from where we live. The portions are huge and the food is freshly cooked and piping hot. Deserts are heavenly and don't know how I had room to finish it! Nice tradition pub and great service. Landlady Vera very friendly!

Went to see Vera and as always had a warm welcome. Food was fantastic as usual. Had a lovely night with friends

Enormous portions, quality grub, served quickly and very hot! What more could you want from a country pub?! Absolute gem!

Yo estaba caminando por la Ruta de la costa de Devon coast y planeado para conseguir una comida caliente en Morchard Bishop. El pub estaba cerrado, limpiando, cuando llegué a media tarde, así que llamé a través de la ventana para preguntar cuando abren y me dijeron 6:30. Ellos abiertamente voluntario otras opciones de comida y luego ofrecieron a abrir a las 6:00, ya que tendrían que estar preparando para la apertura normal. Qué servicio!

La comida aquí es de primera clase. Amplio y sabroso bien preparado. El pastel de carne con cerveza es un clásico aquí. Tuvimos con un montón de patatas asadas y verduras, todo perfectamente seis cocinado. Nos hicimos nuestra mejor comer el montón pero siento decir que hemos fracasado. Nos hubiera gustado que vivimos un poco más cerca de Morchard Bishop ya que volvería más regularmente. Vera La casera es una delicia

Nos presentamos aquí cansados y hambrientos después de caminar 16 kilómetros en los dos moros camino. En ausencia de un camping local la dueña nos ofreció la hierba detrás del pub para armar nuestra campaña. Tuvimos una comida deliciosa en el bar (el mejor patatas asadas) que nos la adrenalina a través de los próximos 16 Km. Así que muy agradecidos por el welcone

Vinimos aquí para el cumpleaños de mi esposa y fue una noche perfecta, la comida es de fuera de este mundo. Había 9 de nosotros y nos encantó la comida de nuestra comida era caliente y cocinado a la perfección y llena de sabor. Recomiendo el London inn y estaremos llamando pronto 10 / 10

Visitamos el London Inn en la recomendación de la vacaciones propietario. Vera que en 85 años va pareja al bar y toma los pedidos, que después ella les ha entrado en su sistema informático, envía a través de su hija Sarah en la cocina. Bien, la comida todo casero, es para morirse y generoso en sus raciones, así que a menos que quieras comida versus ans' no hay más que un principal pueden ser consumidas. Comimos en el pub tres noches corriendo y lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Si no quieres riesgos decepcionó!

The chips are lovely and the fish But they do over gravy food so if you dont like your plate smothered in it ask for it separately, the service is slow for drinks but lovely people and a nice welcome atmosphere.

The food at the London Inn is always very good, pipping hot, good presentation and huge amounts. Every time I have had food it has always been lovely. The Service of drinks could be improved as they don't seem to like giving away ice, but over all having a family meal there is fab experience.

I was among a group of 6 friends who had a couple of drinks and a Sunday roast at the London Inn . As others have mentioned the food is freshly cooked to order so expect to wait a little longer than you would at a fast food outlet but boy it is worth it ! 4 of the men with big appetites failed to eat all of their main courses but all were pleasantly surprised by the very high quality of the meats and vegetables. The portions are huge and are very fairly priced and my suggestion would be is that you only have a very light breakfast or no breakfast at all before visiting the London Inn for their lovely Sunday roasts

Dining at the London Inn makes a welcome change to the 'designer' experience so often found in modern pubs. It serves generous portions of tasty, well-cooked traditional food accompanied by an excellent choice of vegetables. In addition, it has an open fire, good beer and a friendly atmosphere - highly recommended.

Went for an evening meal, thoroughly enjoyable experience, great portion sizes, and the service was excellent!

Always well looked after with good traditional English meals which are more than ample. Good value for what you get and the delightful old dear Vera is quite a card. She works her but off.

Stayed in a cottage within walking distance of here. Friendly atmosphere Vera is a character very welcoming. Excellent choice on menu and specials board food piping hot and very tasty.

Go here alot, great food, great service and great staff, Vera keeps us in line bless her. Always look forward to going here, Sarah is lovely.

Amazing food even the peas were the best I have ever tasted , been a few times now and it always great , people have said you have to wait a long time for your food but it's cooked fresh and it shows

A lovely warm atmosphere at this rural pub. A good range of real ale and cider on offer. A good menu and an additional specials board. As all food freshly prepared and cooked to order, this is a slow food restaurant. Previous reviewers who complain about the speed of service are probably more use to fast food restaurants.The portions are generous and value for money. Likewise the food was hot. No-one in our party of five found fault with any of their meals..The restaurant and kitchen staff have an excellent understanding of the requirement for a Coeliac diet and will go through the available options on the menu or adapt a meal where possible.

We visited last Sunday 25th September 2016 as a party of eight adults, the first impressions were of a friendly pub frequented by the locals. We arrived on time, announced our arrival and were directed to a well presented round table (nothing like a round table as no one is left out of the conversation). There was no rush to get us sat down and we loitered at the bar for some half hour and we were not rushed to order our food. We had been told of the quality of the food and when it arrived we were not disappointed as it was perfectly cooked, all fresh vegetables and more than enough to satisfy and army (please note this review has nothing to do with the size of the portions it is about the quality of the food). We spent a very pleasant 3 hours in real pub surroundings. We shall be returning in the future. For those who have complained about the length of time it took for the food to arrive I would suggest that it goes to prove the food is freshly prepared and cooked. If you want speedy service or no gravy may I suggest you go to a burger bar where you receive the style and quality of the food you deserve. A big thank you to the staff of the London Inn for a wonderful afternoon.

Don't make a habit of eating here asFood is rubbish. Had a roast, vegetables were hard, potatoes were boiling hot and there is enough potatoes to feed the whole village it's such a waste to provide so many potatoes for one person eating a roast you have an entire serving dish, no way could you even eat them all. Was handed my plate and wasn't told it would be burning hot as I took it off the waitress and only when I pulled away as got burnt did the waitress mention it was hot!! Desserts are poor as well, just no flavour nothing too them. Bar service is slow.

Went in a group of people to have a lovely meal, food was great, could not fault. However food took over an hour each time to arrive per course which would be fine if service was good but the landlady was very rude throughout the night and would not allow for us to pay for a round of 8 drinks by card as only accepted cash and no more than one card payment per night per table. Spoilt the night having such as issue as to paying for things by card. Food was great but very very poor management

The London Inn became our 'local' when we based ourselves in a Morchard Bishop holiday cottage for a week long trip to Devon. I think it's fair to say that we've both put around a stone on during this holiday due mainly to the HUGE portions served here! Not complaining though. Good hearty meals served piping hot were always welcome at the end of a day of walking or driving around this lovely part of the world. The service here is second to none and Vera, the landlady (who we were told is now in her 80s and a bit of a local legend) is a wonderful host. She quickly arranged to get my wife's purse back to her when we realised she had dropped it in the pub on our last night and we were already on our way home. The locals are friendly too and everyone made us Northerners feel most welcome. Highly recommend a visit!

Another fine Sunday Lunch.Beef & steak n ale pie were exceedingly tender.More veggies than you could wish for.Lovely setting & surrounding.Vera serves a nice pint.What more could we all want

I have never been disappointed with the quality of the food at the London Inn, huge portions, and always well cooked. Good selection of beers and ales. Look forward to the next visit

This place is wonderful ,lovely food ,value for your money,you are made to feel welcome the minute you walk in the door , warm atmosphere ,never leave hungry

We were backpacking the 2 moors way , When we came upon this pub ,without a doubt by far the best and most hospitable lnn we visited on the whole of the journey (and we visited quite a few ).The food was excellent and plenty of it.both us and our 2 dog's , Ted and Murfy were made to feel very welcome .Thank you very much Sara and Veda, we will be back!

You really couldn't get more food on the plate if you tried! Good wholesome home cooked meal, plenty of choice and brilliant Devon local pub atmosphere.

This place is a great pub with your good old english favorites had a lovely meal and great service thanks guys

Its a true local pub trading in slight adversity like many in business , and deserves support, with a pool table and the odd doggy for tummy tickles, a large quaint interior , we wondered initially from the exterior if it was trading but it sure is, the welcome from Vera who has to be met to be appreciated is first class she is charming, (the cook is also equally lovely) our meal from steak, to pie was fabulous, in quality/cooking and service , quantity might defeat many but suggest you miss a meal or two before visiting .......Drinks from local real ale to spirits likewise good , the bill was minimal for what we consumed as tough a it was , not!

We deliberately visited this pub due to the excellent ratings on Trip Advisor. It was a grim experience from start to finish. We waited for a long time at the bar and when served it was an unpleasant experience. Locals were given table service however we were ignored several times. The food was hot but looks unappetising and caked in gravy.several of the ladies toilets had no seats and not one had toilet paper. I couldn't wait to leave. Very disappointed.

What a lovely surprise to come across the London inn. We had to do a delivery in the village and was stopping for the night. We went to get something to eat after a long day and was greeted by Vera, a very friendly and welcoming lady, She will sure put a smile on anyone`s face. Order the best fillet steak I have I have had and my work colleague had the steak and ale pie which he was very happy with and pudding was lovely. Service by all the staff and food was 10/10. already looking forward to returning back to London inn next time I am in the area or even if I have to go out of my way. well worth the visit.

This is such a good place to eat and drink its cooked to perfection and at a price you wont beat. I would advise you book a table in high season.If you can eat all the food you ordered well done.If I had a pub like this near me I would be out every night.

We visited the London Inn while staying in Morchard Bishop on the recommendation of the lady who owned the cottage were we were staying and after reading other reviews. On the first visit there was a large party in the restaurant and were told there would be a bit of a wait, no problem as we expected this and ordered our food, well worth the wait good home cooked food and some of the biggest portions we've ever had. We enjoyed it so much we booked for the Friday night at 7:30 and were seated and served by 8:00.Well worth a visit.

A slightly odd place, but friendly service when we were eventually served. Huge portion sizes, so you will definitely not go hungry!

A fault less meal once again,going back in a weeks time,well done to all,and Vera,xx,the size and value are fab for us big eaters.

Excellent quality, large portions, roast beef to die for! Friendly welcome, lovely staff, and beautiful fire place. Well worth a visit.

We visit this area of Devon every year and always visit the London Inn for our Sunday dinner. The portion sizes are large and I can really recommend visiting there if you are in the area. It is always busy for Sunday dinner so you do need to book in advance but it is well worth it. I had roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. It was served with roast potatoes and selection of vegetables. I followed this with profiteroles. I can guarantee we will be back again next year as usual.

We have been here a couple of times before and went again recently. We had a lovely main meal and desserts. The portions were huge. Service quick. Hardly anyone else there but I'm not sure why as it's very reasonably priced and just delicious. Vera is lovely too, we had a long chat and she's so friendly and welcoming. You must visit.

We had read nice things about this place so took the 20 minute drive to have dinner there last night. 7 of us ate... and it was amazing. there were only a few other tables eating, i'm amazed this place isnt busier as it was truly one of the best pub meals weve had in years. 5 of us had the pie which was great.. better than the pie was the accompaniments... mountains of fresh veg, cauli cheese, roasties and home cut chips... We ate like kings - then waddled home. Great homecooked food - with portion sizes you've always dreamed of! I hope they dont start shirinking them after reading this!!We'll be back again and again for sure.

Once again a fantastic steak & ale pie and veg with roast potatoes. Its always a treat to dine at the London Inn thanks to vera and the team. Well worth a visit.

I have reviewed the London Inn before, but as a year has passed since I was last there, I just wanted to update by saying that the food is still SO delicious and well presented - the standard has been maintained! 13 of us lunched there a couple of days ago and they were very busy (which speaks for itself, as most of those there were returning customers). All the food is freshly cooked, no microwavable meals here! It is just a regular country pub, with no pretentions, but this is the fourth time I've eaten there, even though there's places much closer to home. If you're ever in the Crediton area, do pay it a visit and sample English food at its best.

Had a meal with my wife and daughter at the London Inn on Saturdey evening and I have to say we had a lovely couple of hours. Plenty of choice on the menu together with the specials board.My wife had a roast beef dinner, my daughter chose gammon with chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and salad. Both meals were from the set menu and I chose chicken curry with rice and chips from the specials board. My daughter and her husband have recently moved to the village and we thought we would give it a try. Unfortunately my daughters husband was at work so there were just the 3 of us.We booked the meal for 7pm and arrived just before a large party who sat in the restaurant. We ate in the bar which was no problem as it was homely and cosy. Meals arrived quickly and the portions were excellent. Chips were served separately in a large dish as they would not fit on our plates. The quality was excellent and there were some leftovers due to the size of meals. My curry came with 2 pieces of naan bread and sweet chutney. Drinks were reasonably priced and there was a good choice of draught beers and lagers. The price for our 3 meals with drinks was just under £44 which I think is very reasonable.It is the first time I have been in the London Inn and it won't be the last. I can recommend it with confidence even though I read about Vera beforehand!Many thanks London Inn and I'll see you soon.

Had heard their Sunday roasts were amazing from a friend, so we were very excited to visit. However, have to admit I was disappointed. The potatoes were good but the rest of the veg very uninspiring and tasteless, some over cooked aswell, leaving it watery. Gravy wasn't fantastic either, a little thin in our opinion. A shame as I love a good roast. Not sure I would return.

One of our favourites what you get is real home cooked food that is plentiful the pub itself is looking a bit dated but do not be put off by this the land lady Vera is a real character and adds to the charm of the place do expect to wait for food as it is all cooked from fresh but is so worth the wait my wife has the pie most of the time she says it is so good she finds it hard not to have it I feel the same with the lasagne and the whole family love the chips real cut potatoes that are cooked to perfection like I say the food is real home cooked comfort food and done so well five stars to the London inn

Went there on a last minute place to go omg it was a place to remember would love to go back when I'm back that way ,the food was out of this world the choice the special board amazing large restaurant nice cosy pub the portion's was more than enough . Top class service well done the London Inn .

The food was excellent as usual and the portions very generous. The problem is how long it takes to be served at the bar. Several locals arrived after us and were served before us. It made you feel not welcome and this is a real shame. Maybe help behind the bar would be a great benefit to keeping a visit to this pub more enjoyable.Once we managed to get to our table the service improved and the waitress service was good.

We've been to the London a few times now for Sunday dinner, we found it by accident looking for a pub that did Sunday roasts in the evening, since then we've tried other places but keep still struggling to find anywhere that beats this place, and still struggling on the evening front.the usual choice of roast meats, but beware the portions are enormous, we've gone home with roast potatoes twice now.there's a blackboard and menu, but never tried anything, sometimes Sunday dinner is all I need... But will try the Steak and Ale soon

Visited this pub for a meal this evening Tuesday 12 August. I booked about an hour before arrival and was glad I did as it turned out to be the busiest Tuesday evening in a long time according to the very friendly landlady. I chose steak and ale pie and my companion chose cod and chips. The food took a while to arrive but we were warned about this and it didn't matter. The food was delicious and very generous portions served. Excellent value and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.Would recommend highly.

Three of us went to the London Inn on Saturday evening. Between us we had fillet steak, the famous steak and ale pie and the chicken in mushroom sauce. It was all yummy but I think that the steak and ale pie was the winner. Unlike most pies which are topped with puff pastry, this one had lovely shortcrust which soaked up the delicious gravy a treat. The puds were traditional and yummy too. Now, one word of warning. This is not a fast food establishment. Freshly cooked food takes a little while to prepare so the food won't be delivered to your table within 10 minutes of ordering. As they say, good things come to those who wait and that was definitely the case on Saturday.

We only really need to say...try the steak and ale pie! We found this place on trip advisor and despite not a huge number of reviews, they were all good and numerous mentioned the infamous steak and ale pie. Both my partner and I chose this option and we weren't disappointed. We didn't sample any starters or desserts. As the other reviews state, the portions are huge!

The London Inn in Morchard Bishop is my favourite place to eat, the food is amazing!! It must be the best food in Devon. It has been a few years since I last dined here due to moving to Cornwall. The London Inn has not changed, you still get a warm welcome from Vera the landlady.There was four in our party and three of us went for the steak and ale pie, 'a real pie' with proper pastry, there was a choice of six different vegetables and a mountain of real chips, chunky chips! This is real pub food and this is the place to eat it! I can't wait to go again. You will not go home hungry after dining at The London Inn in Morchard Bishop.

Morchard Bishop, a small village in deepest and darkest Devon, has one of the finest Pub menus in the country. Vera, the wonderful landlady is motherly, a full blown character of days gone by when running a pub was a proper calling. She runs a tight ship, friendly, efficiently and in great style, with humour and interest. She knows her clientele, knows her staff and is on the ball in every detail. The food is superb. Proper job pastries, the real McCoy, none of yer micro'd crap. generous potions, fresh veg, gurt lumps of tender beef in the steak and ale pie ! Days on, I am still slavering with the memories of it. Just like mum used to cook some 50 years ago. These standards are rare and a nugget of pure gold these days !

Never mind it being regarded as no 2 in Crediton, I rate this as number one in Devon. Friendly atmosphere and the steak and ale pie is to die for. It's a real pie with real pastry, not the stew on a bowl with a crust added afterwards. Food is piping hot and all the portions are very generous indeed.The landlady is hands on and everybody gets personal serviceAll pub/restaurants should aim for this quality

Great pub in a friendly village. Enormous portions and the chips are like nothing else. Love the fact you get a plate to share. Oh, and the London Inn wouldn't be the London Inn without the one and only Vera!

Delicious food, lovely big portions which is hard to find nowadays! This pub is family run and is so welcoming. We went on valentines night, you even got a rose. Brilliant country pub.
