The Mitre Inn in North Devon

We visited on New Year's day for lunch (we had reserved a table). We had a friendly welcome, the staff were very accommodating and there was a great choice of food, which was amazing - it well presented and tasty.

Stopped here for lunch with friends and was not disappointed. Food was good and service was spot on. Also good portion and plenty of extra specials to pick from. Classic country pub lunch - spot on 👍🏼

We had roast lunch here in the summer it was so good we came back to stay for 1 night with 6 friends and had a lovely 5 mile walk around the area. Everyone said the evening meal was superb above and beyond most restaurants we finished the evening in the bar with cocktails. Breakfast was equally as good . The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable . This pub has a lot of character and everyone works hard to keep it running well. You won't be disappointed if you eat or stay overnight.

What a gem of a find - Honestly as a large family group there is nothing negative we could say about The Mitre Inn, Witheridge, Tiverton - Food, Staff and Venue are fantastic. We all chose the 3 course Sunday lunch which offered a great variety throughout. Delicious home cooked food and the staff and chef were so accommodating with our special requests. Not only that, they made our children so welcome, we would definitely re-visit when in the area and would not hesitate to recommend this great place.

Charming village pub with a local vibe. We popped in for lunch on our way from Ilfracombe to Exeter. Food was nice but the service was 10/10. There is a separate vegan menu and some gluten free options. Owner and staff were super friendly and helpful - they clearly understood which items were vegan/gf. Our dog had her own bowl of sausage with sides and gravy (not vegan), and we said hello to the two beautiful resident golden retrievers. Overall a lovely visit - would recommend.

Viewed across all 'departments', this was the best of 11 accommodations we encountered walking the 2 Moors Way in terms of overall experience and value. The decor and layout of the bar and dining rooms give the Inn a cosy and welcoming feel (we can only imagine how fab it must look at Christmas!), our room was stylishly decorated with a good en suite and a comfy bed, and the food and menu choices both at dinner and breakfast were of a high standard. Above all the owners, and the bar, dining and cleaning staff were all delightful and helpful.

This was our favourite pub/ restaurant we visited. The atmosphere here was great and the food terrific! On our first visit I tried the ribeye steak in the restaurant and that was wonderful. The second time it was curry night and we ate in the bar. I had red Thai beef curry that was great too. Farmer Toms ice creams for desert are a must. This is also a dog friendly pub so all boxes were ticked.

We had a Sunday dinner at this pub and I would fully recommend it. The food was very tasty and plenty of it and the staff were both very friendly and efficient.

The Bar is welcoming and snug with a nice local feel. The cider on tap was crisp and tasted really nice. The restaurant has an eclectic decor, but does not look out of place. The main menu looks like any other menu in any pub. The special board is small, but looked inviting. Special board is definitely the way to go For starters, we tried the Mac and cheese bites and the local asparagus with a to die for blue cheese sauce. Both of us had the Sirloin Steak with the trimmings. No dessert was partaken as it would have ruined the rest of food. All the food was top quality, cooked to perfection and well presented. Service was good. PLEASE VISIT THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

Booked a table late afternoon for that evening, and was no trouble. We ate in the bar as we had our dog with us. Very cosy bar area, with a lovely atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. Good selection of drinks, and a decent menu. I had the burger - excellent. Nice touch was to bring some scraps of fresh lamb for our dog. Owner is very much a dog lover. A small mistake with the bill was quickly rectified, with good humour. An excellent evening out, with very comfortable surroundings. Would recommend.

We both stayed and ate here. An elegant old building just off the main square, it was nicely busy on a Sunday evening and we had an excellent roast dinner. They have a wide range of local gins as well as beer. Our room was clean and attractive; the loo and bathroom was across the landing and would have been shared, but the other room was empty. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and the staff were really friendly.

While visiting family we stayed overnight at the Mitre which is in the centre of Witheridge. Room one, an en suite double at the back of the pub, was comfortable, colourful, and quiet. We had an evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant which is separate from the bar area. Both meals were excellent.

Fantastic Sunday lunch in relaxed, traditional pub. Great service from everyone. The host was incredibly good with our children who loved the old fashioned wooden puzzles. Food was top drawer, delicious and well presented. Lovely pub dogs.

Excellent Sunday lunch, the staff were very friendly, we would thoroughly recommend this lovely country pub. Well kept local cask ales and excellent locally sourced food.

Very welcoming staff. Food was of a very good quality and a good price too. We sat in the bar that had a lovely atmosphere. When next in the area we will definatley be coming back.

Feel absolutely compelled to write a review and say thank you to everyone at the Mitre Inn for a fantastic Mother’s Day meal. The hospitality was awesome and nothing was too much trouble. We all totally enjoyed our home cooked food - 10/10 We will definitely be back and I thoroughly recommend this cosy and atmospheric 17th inn.

The Mitre Inn is a warm and inviting pub in the style of a traditional English pub. Our waiter Seb was friendly and super helpful. Our two toy dogs were treated to lots of attention and settled down nicely while our family ate delicious pub fayre. The bean chilli stood was tasty and when mentioned my lactose intolerance, Seb ensured I got non dairy cheese and mayo. There is all the usual carnivore food plus a vegan menu! The blueberry cobbler was yummy! My whole family really enjoyed their meals and we highly recommend the pub.

Excellent service and friendly staff and welcoming also excellent breakfast and Sunday lunch would highly recommend

I rarely write a review but the food I have had both times I have come to this pub is exceptional. Having eaten at a wide range of places this is one of the best I have been to. The small additional touches to the food make such a difference clearly cooked by a very talented chef, and very reasonably priced too.

We have visited here often and have always had great food however our last visit very disappointing. Ordered Beef Vindaloo . We were told it would be hot which we know of course ( it came from the waiter as a kind of warning) which was slightly humiliating!!!!! The Vindaloo was extremely dry, so rice and curry almost inedible and no heat or even spicy at all!! We are wondering if you've changed your chef! Also ice-cream not fresh, Tasted like it had thawed and been re frozen several times. Christmas meal out with family!!!!!!

Wow six of us just returned from a lovely two night stay at the Mitre Andy his lovely wife and all the staff are amazing nothing is too much trouble the ales the food is really good we have stayed before and will definitely be back thanks Andy and all for a brill time . Paul ,Mike ,Steve, June ,Gwen,Kath.

My dog Bodhi and I stayed here at the end of this stage of The Two Moors Way walk. Barbara was incredible with sorting out gluten free and vegan food options for me, and the food was some of the best gluten free vegan food I’ve ever had. Andy was great fun to chat to in the bar and made me feel very welcome. The room was good with great black out curtains for a good nights sleep, They provided blankets and a treat for Bodhi and really looked after us. A great stay!

Visited here last night to be told it would be at least an hour before we could have a table. My wife and I were publicans for many years and NEVER EVER turned custom away. How times have changed. Not long ago the hospitality industry were crying out to be helped by the government. Perhaps they have had too much help if they can afford to turn a disabled couple in their 70s away. Yes, we are disabled and struggled in despite there being no disabled access. Sorry Mr Landlord we WILL NOT BE BACK

We eat here often because to eat and for a drink it's one of the best eating places around here. Most deliscious food which never fails to impress. Fantastic place inside and outside on the sunny terrace.The staff are really friendly and helpful too.

We (family of 4) had our 2 week summer holiday in Devon staying close by to Witheridge. The hospitality of the landlord, Andy and the staff were all so welcoming and the quality of the food excellent. So good in fact we ate at The...

Have recently discovered The Mitre inn and will be going regularly from now on. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming and the Sunday lunch was one of the best we’ve ever had.

We ordered lasagne and beef chilli dishes and they were possibly the worse food we have ever eaten. None of the dishes were fresh. Give this place a wide berth.

Friendly reception. Comfortable rooms. Excellent food and bar. And because I was leaving too early for breakfast, I was provided with a very decent packed lunch.

Always a lovely welcome , friendly staff , amazingly clean ! Lots to look at , love outside seating area , and lovely cider

Heaven for weary bike-packers. Doing the Coast to Coast/2 Moors way from Plymouth to Watchet, it had been a looooong day in the saddle and we were just getting a little tired and emotional when we arrived at Witheridge. “We’ll stop for a pint and...

Two Moor Way overnight stay. The perfect overnight stay, welcoming staff, clean rooms and hearty food. Loved the atmosphere and our welcome. Beds were comfy and the breakfast was fantastic, and all very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

The Mitre Inn came to our rescue when my wife and I discovered that our booked holiday cottage was unavailable on arrival. We were tired, stressed, 300 miles from home, our holiday plans in ruins, and it was Easter weekend. We needed to find dog-friendly...

Took hubby out for meal for his birthday. And what a lovely meal we had. Sat by the open fire and enjoyed every minute. The food was excellent. Will defiantly be going again.

We had our reservations for another inn canceled at last minute due to heavy snow. We wanted to find a place close to where we were going. Thankfully we found The Mitre Inn. The accommodations are lovely, but the true star is the amazing food....

Happened upon the Mitre Inn, stopped for refreshment. Incredibly friendly landlord and staff, food was fantastic. Will definitely return, great destination to while away a Sunday afternoon.

Stopped off for a pint and a sandwich but ended up ordering the beef pie which was on as a special. Good beer, friendly landlord and the best pie I’ve had in ages.

This is a lovely quaint and romantic pub, which also has rooms to stay. We had a lovely meal, which we came to twice whilst on our holiday stay in Devon. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was home made and very...

Staying at HORSEFORD Lodge in nearby Worlington, was recommended The Mitre Inn. Barman, very genial, and welcoming.

Really good meal tonight. Food very tasty, service excellent. Wish we lived down the road so that we could visit often. Would highly recommend

Stayed in Withering for a week in an apartment and came here twice for a bar meal and beer. Nice friendly staff and great food. Cosy pub. Would highly recommend

A cosy place to stay. Food excellent and great vibe with friendly locals. Recommended for walkers, or a place to stay on bussiness

Service was excellent and prompt. Prawn tapas was succulent and tasty. Calamari were well seasoned. Garlic bread very tasty. Lasagne had a human hair deeply embedded in it but the waitress immediately took the price off the bill and apologised profusely. Steak was excellent. Piri...

Stayed not far from the Mitre for a week and visited 3 times for lunch across that time. A super welcome from Andy and Barbara, who made us all feel very welcome. We had a variety of Panini's, all were excellent. Made a fuss of our 8 month old, too. highly recommended. If we're back in the area at any point, i wouldn't hesitate to visit again. All the best.Steve, Ruth and little legs.

What a jem of a place, made to feel so welcome and food was fantastic, cheers Would definitely recommend

Great restaurant with wide range on the menu. Thursday was curry night but went for the belly pork which was delicious. A few pints of Exmoor Gold also helped. Very friendly staff and great service. Perfect after a hard day walking, cycling or just touring Mid Devon.

Have enjoyed the friendly service of this lovely pub all week. Intial pint on first day of holiday turned Into enjoying this fine pub for the rest of our stay. Great atmosphere complimented by superb staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent , friendly service and Very welcoming! Became our local for the week, Beautiful pub! Highly recommend visiting!

Stayed round the corner and popped in for a pint! just enjoyed this lovley pub for our weeks stay Great service very friendly highly recommend

On holiday and visited the local pub. Sadly a decision we will regret as will the Landlord losing revenue for the week for 10 people. Absolutely awful. Rude, abrupt welcome. Waitress was wonderful and is let down by her employer who demonstrated narcissism in refusing to accept lemonade was flat. Recommend he either gets out of the business or spends money on a customer service course. Shameful!!!

We recently stayed nearby and ate here as well as ordering takeaway. Food was lovely and very hospitable hosts.

We enjoyed a range of vegetarian and meat takeaway curries at The Mitre Inn. Really recommend the delicious home cooked food here.

Excellent food, generous servings and service is fantastic Emma is always so welcoming & remembers us even though there are months between our visits! We eat here whenever we stay in Witheridge. Very dog friendly too. Would highly recommend

Easy to book, very good Covid protocols. Food was amazing, good portion sizes and beautifully cooked and presented.

Had a great vegan and vegetarian roast. Wide range of puddings, and a wide normal menu. Photos are of vegan roast and vegan chocolate lava pudding.Staff lovely and helpful, nice local country pub with above normal food. Would go again. Photo 3 of vegan menu Oct 2020

We had a meal here whilst staying at the nearby Newhouse Farm Cottages. Suitable Covid precautions had been put in place - a bell to ring when you arrived so you could be met at the door, hand sanitiser, only certain tables being used. The menu was still extensive with a good variety. We started with the trio of breaded cheeses which was lovely (mozarella, brie and camembert). I then had trout en croute with new potatoes and salad whilst my husband had Nepalese lamb curry, both of which were very tasty. I finished with a delicious cheesecake (passion fruit, lime and coconut from memory) and my husband had the cheeseboard which had a fantastic range of local cheeses. The young man serving us was very polite and helpful. I would say this is a mid-price range restaurant. A lovely touch was that when we asked to take home the cheese that my husband couldn't manage, this was put in a container with some extra crackers! As we had such a good experience, we ordered take-out lasagne the following evening which was also very nice.

We are staying nearby and noticed the Mitre were offering two takeaway curries for £20. I had the Korma and the wife had the vegetable curry. Very nice with an onion bargee and fresh naan bread.

Booked a table for 3 with my dad and his gf, they are both vegetarian and were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of foods available. I had the chicken Kiev with salad and sweet potato wedges followed by the most amazing sticky toffee pudding and ice cream.Lovely pub, great food and beer.

Wasn't planning to stop at the pub but the staff and atmosphere were so great we stopped for food. Fantastic beef and red wine pie ( homemade) best ever tasted, all our food was fantastic and made on site. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, pub had a great atmosphere too. A great find.

Wir sind nur eine Nacht hier gewesen. Die Räume waren sauber und ordentlich, die Betten bequem. Der Raum zum Essen war ok und sauber, aber nichts besonderes. Das Essen selber war solides Pub-Essen, wie wir es gewohnt waren, das Personal höflich und bedacht, die Corona Regeln einzuhalten.Frühstück war reichhaltig.

The food was ok but nothing special.I had a side order of vegetables with my rack of ribs. The vegetables were lovely and the rack of ribs were ok but nothing special. We felt very uncomfortable when my son asked for the WiFi code and was told he was expected to make a donation to use it. This is the first place we have ever had this happen especially when you are eating and drinking there. My sons chips were not home made and due to been frozen had very little taste.

We wanted a nice Sunday roast and certainly weren’t disappointed. The roast was one of the best I’ve had out and produced very quickly but obviously freshly made, and a delicious brioche and butter pudding that was out of this world. Not only that but with a 3 1/2 yr old and dairy and soya intolerant 1 1/2 yr old, they simply could not have been more accommodating for her even making her own special little pudding. Lovely spacious dining room as well, not crammed in as you are in some places and all of the staff and landlord were so friendly. We will be back (later this week!)

We have become regular family and friends visitors to the Mitre. The menu food and service is invariably good. Excellent menu options. I had sirloin steak and it was excellent. Well done Team Mitre.

Travelled to the Witheridge area on a works Weekend away and turned up at the mitre on a Friday night with a large party,(20+ people ) the pub and staff could not have been any more accommodating. We enjoyed it so much some of us returned on Saturday night and again the barmaid Emma was a joy to interact with, she sat and chatted with us and couldn’t have been nicer or better company. When it came to closing time the heavens had opened and the landlord Andy was a star an volunteered unprompted to drop us back to our accommodation, which is above and beyond in my opinion.if you are staying the area this homely, friendly pub is a must.

Wow, what a gem of a pub! We are staying locally and decided to wander into the village to see what was about and we came across this lovely place. Andy the landlord and his lovely wife couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. We decided to eat here and are a family of 6 with 4 vegans and one with a nut allergy and to be honest we thought we’d have to make do with some chips, however they had a really good vegan menu with loads of choices for starters, mains and desserts! The chef was really helpful and the food was amazing, we will definitely return if ever in the area again and would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality, including the tail wags from Bodie and Doyle!

Popped in for dinner as we were staying away for a weekend break nearby. Couldn’t fault, greeted straight away, felt very welcome and was invited to look around the snug area. Choose to eat in the bar area but also has nice dining area. Can’t fault the food, except after large portions, I couldn’t fit in pudding! The kids did though! Enjoyable food and a good evening, thank you.

Popped in for quick pint whilst waiting for the pizza order to be cooked in the mobilewood fire oven van in the square.An amazing quirky local with a fine selection of ale etc

Passing through the village we stopped here for a Drink and a Snack. The bar is very dark brown in decor and the first thing i encountered at the bar was a large sign telling me they have to buy the beer I will have to pay for tasters - really welcoming!Then a unsmiling lady behind the bar told me it was roast only for sunday lunch - fair enough I understand. The beer I had was something to do with the pubs cat I think but I was ignored when I asked - but it was nice. The worst thing about the pub was the background music - don't get me wrong I don't like the modern rubbish but this was like a dirge. It was like being in a funeral parlor. I would have given it two stars but my wife said the food looked good. We had our drinks and crisps and left.

This is largely a family-run pub and you get a great welcome here from the landlord and all the staff. Even our little dog was welcomed with open arms. There was a good selection of home-cooked foods, all with an authentic style that had been carefully researched. We went with our instincts and enjoyed the meals we were brought. There is a great selection of beers and cheeses too. It wasn't particularly cheap, but is definitely cheerful.

Our evening meal was superb rump steak cooked to perfection with all the trimmings. The restaurant is decorated very romantic with fairy lights and very interesting bits and pieces the staff were very happy and friendly. We also had a Sunday roast the next day it was the best we ever had tender beef and at least six vegetables and amazing roast potatoes. The landlord is a very happy chap and proud of his pub and so he should be.

We found this pub by accident. We both had steak pie, chips and peas. It was delicious, the best pie we had ever had! The landlord was so friendly and great fun. If we end up moving to the area, we have found a wonderful local! Thank you very much

Great traditional style English pub, fun and friendly atmosphere, great landlord and delicious food! definite winner.

A lovely traditional pub with good quality tasty food. No frou frou just good old fashioned great customer service and a welcome tit bit for the dog. A very pleasant visit and hope to go back soon.

Lovely place to eat and drink and meet with friends. Very friendly owners. So cosy at Christmas with a lovely open fire. Wonderful foi6d all year round. Certainly worth a visit

Stayed locally recently and ate here twice. Lovely cosy little pub with friendly staff and lovely food. Can highly recommend the Somerset pork and garlic sausages and the brioche bread and butter pudding.

Wow. Lovely menu of local produce put into traditional pub dishes. We had the Creedy Carver chicken Kiev and the steak pie. Both excellent, with perfect chips. Delicious chocolate brownie and banana pancake desserts, lovely wine at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and lovely ambience.

Used the mitre inn as a stop over whilst viewing the area...wonderful.

My wife and myself have just returned after two nights at The Mitre. Witheridge is a lovely village. The Mitre is a character building. Our room no. 4 being a family room was very spacious and well furnished. The beds were comfortable. We ate both evenings at The Mitre,once in the restaurant which is beautifully decorated but lonely as we were the only diners in there. The second night we dined in the bar. Much more lively. At first we found the menu were limited but made our choice and the food was well cooked and beautifully presented. We will stay there again when next in the area,

It's awful It's rude and it's dirty Had an awful experience at an awfully run pub Will not be going back

Food ok. Good choice, lots of it. Very traditional pub atmosphere. Traditional pub food. Dogs welcomed.

Very good Large village Public House Ocassional music Food and Drink A good place to go for a meal or a quiet drink.

Absoulty terrible. Popped in as me and my partner are not from the area but are staying near the pub, so thought we would spend our Friday evening in there. The worst decision we made all holiday. If you want to get served by an unfriendly stuck up grumpy landlord, pay silly prices for drinks, sit in something that looks like Queen Victoria decorated it and be around some of the most unhappiest staff that i have ever seen. Then this is the place for you!! Lets hope the other pub in the village gets re-opened soon.

We enjoyed a lovely family meal here. Serving staff were friendly and helpful. One of our party didn't get the meal he ordered, but apart from that it was a good expierience.

we were visiting Devon and i wanted my kids to have a real pub food experience. The Mitre Inn did not disapoint. The food and service was great, even if we came in just before kitchen closing time.

We had lunch here today and came away promising ourselves that we would return! Tripadvisor came up trumps, recommending it as somewhere not too far from home, and we loved everything about The Mitre and its fantastic food. Plenty of choice - and those who had it said the hake was "to die for" - and sensibly sized portions. My only complaint was that the time of year was wrong for me to spend time in the delightful "snug" just off the bar...... roll on winter for that! Thank you all concerned for a memorable meal - and lashings of ginger beer!

The food is plentiful, fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Eat in the pub area as the atmosphere is better, the official ‘dining room’ was empty. Only 2 real ales on tap when we went. Have read other reviews that weren’t too positive but overall we had a good night.

We took twelve close friends for a special celebration as this is one of our favourite places to eat. Every meal was cooked to perfection (I don’t know how Barbara does it for so many) and served in the lovely dining room. The staff who served us worked very hard and we were not hurried. A lot of thought goes into the dishes which offer a good choice and fish/vegetarian lovers are well catered for too. This is much more than pub grub.u

We went for a family meal after just moving to a cottage locally. I am Gluten and Dairy intolerant and am used to a very limited menu and usually no desert. Well! What a fantastic choice of food and to top it off my favourite pudding (bread and butter) with dairy free ice-cream! I was in heaven! Can't afford to eat out very often as our kids eat full size meals but this has certainly become my favourite place to eat! My husband and his mum went without me the other night as I was out so now considering divorce lol

My brother and I took our very elderly Mother who lives in Witheridge out to lunch and we had lovely fresh sole which was much enjoyed. Our waitress was lovely.
