The New Inn Restaurant in West Devon

Had an amazing Sunday roast here - service was fab and pub was warm and cosy. I've only knocked a star off as I paid £6.40 for a can of 0.0 guinness and half a lime and soda - which seems quite highly priced

This is a great middle Devon pub spot. Excellent food with really lovely service. Great pub!

When faced with 3 trip hazard daschunds and some unexpected big bookings these guys were professionalism personified Great food brilliant service and amazing pub atmosphere Greatvtobfind this gem when pubs are becoming a rarity We will be back and please keep up the great work

Great food and service. Well worth a visit.

Took a party of 20 for lunch , pre-booked and pre-ordered . There was a very good choice from a varied menu. The food was served promptly and was delicious. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you New Inn 😀

Went to the Austrian themed evening. Starters of fondue meats and bread .No complaints. Main course choice of breadcrumbed pork (viener schnitzel ) or potato onion and garlic topped with fried egg.Very dry dish ,the egg should have been runny and not overcooked as mine was ,and the garlic in the dish was burnt giving it a bitter taste. Those that had pork said it was very good,although I did see lady on next table put 3 pieces into her handbag-presumably for the dog. Pudding was apple strudel or pancakes.The strudel was served with some sort of cream-probably out of a can.Would have been better with ice cream or clotted. Could not fault the service

This is such a cozy, little pub. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff super friendly. They're also a dog friendly pub which is a bonus Me and my partner had the burger, he had the beef and I had the pork and chorizo one. You can tell they're fresh and the flavour is delicious. The chips are the lightest and fluffiest chunky chips I've ever had, they're beautiful. This was a lovely place for us to eat out to celebrate our anniversary, delicious food and relaxed environment.

Very dissapointed, our first meal was lovely so we decided to re-book for this evening. Tonight the Market Fish was ordered for my Mother, the sautéed potatoes were hard, as were the peas. So only the fish was eaten. Considering paying £18 for the meal we decided to mention it, as only a third of the dinner was eaten. The young lady was lovely and said she would say something, so we paid and took our leave. It is a resl shame, however we certainly wouldn't return.

Great family meal, the food was outstanding and the staff are so kind and friendly. 10/10 from us!

A very nice experience, a table of five good food great service and good selection of hand pulled ales to choose from a large garden with lots of uncrowded seating area

This is our go to place for an excellent Sunday lunch experience. Both the food and the hosts are fantastic. Never rushed, polite and helpful staff, really good food all locally sourced. I cannot rate this place 6 stars but I would if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely fabulous place. The food is amazing and so are the staff.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime. We all had the roast turkey! It was exceptional with everything cooked perfectly. Plenty of potatoes, gravy and a great selection of fresh veg. Service was great too, very efficient staff. This is a superb place to eat with an excellent menu selection.

We visited today for the classic car meet. What a great evening! 30 odd lovely cars to look at and great atmosphere. To eat we had the burger and pie. Both really good. Cheese cake pudding was a real treat. Staff charming too. Would highly recommend and will return soon!

Food was OK, service could have been better. But overall it was fine.

Great food, hubby loved the beer, mother loved the wine and brownie, I loved the roast and the fact it was dog friendly. Extra bonus for sunshine and a beer garden tea!

Was treated to a birthday lunch. First time here and will definitely be back. I had burger. Yes you can get burger anywhere but not homemade pork and chorizo burger. Wow it was delicious. Juicy and tender. Other dishes on the table were Traditional battered haddock and chips. A venison stir fry and a fish of the day which was served on the bone. All of which looked incredible and all plates finished. Great choice anal beers available. Good value for money and a great cozy friendly pub environment. 10/10.

Went for lunch today. Brilliant service all round. We will be back thank you

Tasty food lovely atmosphere. There is a lawn area for summer evenings. Also a classic car / bike meet 2nd Wednesday in the month

Lovely little pub with excellent food and drinks. The menu is posh pub food with the usual comfort foods. I started with a Guinness which was perfect while I waited for my food. I had fish and chips for my main which was delicious and the batter was spot on. Finished with the best honeycomb ice cream. Reasonably priced with friendly staff. Would go again.

Utterly underwhelmed and disappointed with the vegetarian option, for a family birthday it was a shame - there was just nothing that said 'enjoy your meal'

We had dinner and we really liked it, very good food and excellent service. The rating is five stars and I personally recommend it to all travelers who are in this area.

We were staying at the Langdale Lodge! Definitely recommend this lovely pub! Went here for a Sunday Roast! Absolutely beautiful! Very friendly staff! Overall brilliant! Thank you so much

Excellent food and drinks in this atmospheric, old pub.

Perfect village pub with very good parking and good quality food.

Beautiful Sunday dinner and generous portion, very friendly and welcoming

Cold February mid week evening..warm wood burning stove, lovely country pub , good choice of food , friendly staff 😊 my only reason for 4/5 is , we’d have liked an option of smaller or lighter meals , which we believe is a must for older people or people who can’t face large meals, or have dietary preferences..sadly very quiet, but that’s winter 🤷🏼‍♀️😌

As others have pointed out, portions are tiny for the price of the food, a thimble of Coleslaw with a £15 burger is very odd, as is no sauce on the burger, leading to a dry burger, which is not what i expect for £15.50, the beef patty was of good quality, but served on a slip of lettuce, a tiny slice of tomato and zero sauce offered or given, seems lazy from the kitchen to me,, leading to a bland burger. My daughters burger was a kids burger, £8, no sauce, no salad, just bap and burger, which again lead to a dry burger. I will add that the chips and garlic bread with cheese were lovely. For me, if a posh pub cannot put out tasty burgers, I'm guessing the kitchens got problems. Don't get me wrong the food was all eaten, but at the prices the New Inn is charging, I'd expect 'edible' not to be the overall impression left. Desserts were nice, but again overpriced. The staff were/are friendly, so no issues with the service, but we are unlikely to return.

Very welcoming and pleasant staff.

This is a traditional country pub, totally unpretentious, and has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The menu is very extensive, we were spoilt for choice, we'll definitely need to go back soon to try some of the other dishes on offer. This pub serves food on a Sunday until 8pm which is very unusual for the area. Highly recommend

Great traditional pub. Joined in Amy's fundraising quiz. Arrived early so we could eat. Great food, nice selection of beer and well served Guinness.

Great pub food great, service superb and friendly.

Excellent service worth every penny thanks

Lovely cosy place great food went at Christmas so was busy lovely staff but my friend had her drink taken away before she had finished it.

My family and I enjoyed two fabulous meals over the festive period whilst staying locally. The food was delicious and the service brilliant. Thank you 😊

This evenings meal was D-lish, flavours and how it was all cooked were spot on.

A party of a dozen of us had booked lunch here (several weeks previously). Service was friendly, efficient and well-paced. I can't fault the food – in quality or in quantity. The roast potatoes were crisp and tasty, there were a good few nicely cooked vegetables and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot. Delicious starter and dessert, too.

Excellent food great atmosphere

The New Inn epitomizes the quintessential Devon pub experience, offering the expected traditional charm enriched with a welcoming and homely atmosphere. The exterior is visually striking, boasting a thatched roof and a spacious beer garden, instantly creating a sense of comfort. Ample parking, including additional spaces across the road, enhances convenience, while the large beer garden provides ample room to bask in the occasional appearance of sunlight. Inside, a delightful log fire, low ceilings adorned with beautiful wooden beams, and locally-produced artwork contribute to a cozy and homely ambiance. For chilly nights, the thoughtful provision of blankets adds a nice touch to the outdoor experience. The attentive and welcoming staff, along with friendly landlords, ensure a comfortable visit. The food, swiftly delivered and artistically presented, features a diverse menu with excellent vegetarian choices and classic pub fare. The vegetarian curry, a favorite for my daughter, remains a consistent delight, while the ever-changing fish option consistently impresses. The pub's frequent themed nights, like the upcoming murder mystery evenings in the new year, add an exciting element to the overall experience. In essence, The New Inn strikes a perfect balance, offering the warmth of traditional Devon coupled with a compelling and varied menu, ensuring each visit leaves you content and satisfied.

Still friendly, good service, just thought that the food was not quite as good as previous visits.

Working through the Good Pub Guide brought us here for lunch. A thatched 16th century village pub. Low beams, log fires and doggy friendly. Looked after by Lindsey our lovely waitress, friendly and engaging. An excellent and proper home made beef pie, very good fish and decent crispy chips. A couple of local real ales on hand pump. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Great pub, great food, great staff, great atmosphere... what more can I say! 5*

Lovely friendly pub, great home made food, although children's portions would benefit from being slightly larger for the price. Decent selection of beers and a nice and clean, warm and cosy atmosphere. Staff welcoming and accommodating and obviously dog friendly which was perfect for us. We'll be back!!

We visited lunch time and had a lovely meal and dessert at The New Inn. We were made to feel welcome and service was great. The menu had a good selection. It is dog friendly and we will certainly return when in the area again.

Excellent food, service and friendly staff, will also work with you if you have allergies which is brilliant, will go back.

Lovely place for a meal and you can take dogs

My husband and I were staying nearby and needed a gluten free friendly place to eat as I am a Ceoliac. The food is clearly indicated what is gluten free on the menu (this is ALWAYS a winner!) I had a burger and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken supreme (also gf) and that was 10/10. We liked the food and the vibe of the place so much we booked a table for the next day for Sunday dinner. We ordered the beef roast and honestly it was the best roast dinner I’ve ever eaten out at. Most places don’t even do GF gravy or the potatoes are coated in flour. But the New inn did it all including homemade Yorkshire puddings! Can’t comment on the deserts as we were just too full but they looked delicious. Lastly, the staff were super friendly. We got chatting to the waitress who told us she is the taster for all things GF and dairy free as she has Chrons and she was telling us how important it is to ensure it’s an allergy safe place to eat. Which is the assurance any person with an allergy wants to hear and even the awareness of cross contamination! All pubs need to take note of this! We would be back here in a heartbeat when we are in the area again.

Lovely pub .Good food and staff are lovely

Outstanding meal! Definitely recommend this charming pub with Friendly helpful staff! Our meals were all outstanding

Happened upon the New Inn after a quick google, as our intended destination was shut. What luck! We were welcomed warmly for a delicious meal, and the service was exemplary. Lovely and warm inside, and really top notch homemade food. Recommend the mackerel starter, the fish & chips, pie of the day and the sponge pudding. Will return if we ever find ourselves in the area again.

This has now become a frequent stop for us on the way home. The food has alway been really great when we have visited. However last night ! Well they really excelled, they had home made faggots. As a Brummie they would have to be exceptional to warrant a review. Guess what..... Last night's supper was the best meal both of us had there. I was a special on the menu. ( sadly for me ) I can't say that you will actually be fortunate enough to have that treat on visiting there. Even if you are not the food and the welcome is alway very warn in this local hostelry.

Post ramble Sunday lunch today hit the spot! Roast beef was excellent cooked perfectly, massive Yorkshire and loads of veg! Welcomed our dog and gave her a little treat for being so well behaved!

We have used & enjoyed the New Inn with friends for 15 years. However, after a post Covid delay of 18 months, we wanted to see how it is now - Never again. The food was nothing remarkable but tasty & ok. Unfortunately the front of house service was unwelcoming and un-smiling. But what really took the biscuit, was when we gently pointed out that a round of drinks for four had not been included on the bill. The response was an 'Oh' and a corrected bill was produced, but without an apology or word of thanks, it was a purely transactional process. Neither was there any effort to say 'thank you you for coming' or 'goodnight' - the basics of good pub hospitality. We were so astonished and angry, we thought it better to say nothing to regret later, just leave and not return.

Latest visit here today with our Sunday lunch group of 14 people. As always, this pub provided a great lunch selection. Some of us had the excellent set Sunday lunch option with a choice of either turkey or beef as the meat, a very good selection of veg was also available with special mention to the cauliflower cheese. Others of us tried the normal menue ranging from fish and chips, Thai green curry, Market fish of the day, and again special mention to the glazed pork ribs. Service was quick and efficient. A pub well worth visiting.

Very nice country pub with great food and service, highly recommended

Food over priced for what we received, ok but nothing special.

Pleased to say we are so lucky to have The New Inn as a great local pub.Great food and cannot recommend Jason,Debbie and staff enough. Definitely recommend a visit to the New Inn as you will not be disappointed.

Great place to eat, drink and enjoy the peaceful green garden at the back, a stroll trough the picturesque village highly recommended. Tasty food, lovely staff.

A great place to eat the young girl told it would be a wait but it was well worth it 👌

Great outside space, perfect for those with children and dogs. Should we return, I don't think we would eat again as the food was very disappointing.

Decent food, friendly patient staff

Fantastic little friendly pub. Would highly recommend!!

Met an old friend here for lunch....food excellent, hot and tasty with friendly staff; plenty of easy parking

It's a lovely old pub. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. The car park is a good size for a village pub

Just stopped for coffee. Seemed very nice.

Superb food and service. Staff very friendly. Lunchtime service very good atmosphere. Looking forward to a return visit.

Brilliant, friendly service. We loved the beef burger and fish & chips

Superb in every respect. A good menu with options for veggies and vegans and coeliacs - and all the food we tried was really excellent - perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff were friendly, informative and efficient. The prices were very fair for the quality. A great experience and much appreciated. Thank you.

Nicely done up, good atmosphere, big outdoor space, good food and drink selection.

Brilliant pub with great staff. Nice atmosphere and

Tonight was the first time we had visited the pub in a number of years. The food was incredible and reasonably priced. Wonderful cocktails with great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend, we will be back!

Food amazing, great pint, reasonably priced, friendly staff, not too posh, everything you want in a pub. We had two roast dinners which were both cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back

Lovely cottage pub and food. With a lovely beer garden

Only a flying visit but we were impressed by the friendliness and attentiveness. Menu looked good and good prices.

Lovely thatched pub. We didn't eat there but enjoyed a pint of beer and half a cider in the level, grassed garden. Pub looked very smart. Landlord cheerful and polite. Toilets spotless!

Lovely village pub with a sunny garden. Well kept beer.

Really nice, fab food and very friendly staff. We'd driven past several times and said we'd go on one day, so glad we did!!!

Visited on a Tuesday night which was busy with many people eating from their menu. I had the pork loin which was fantastic & flovoursome with black pudding mash. My husband's chicken& mushroom pie was equally delicious. A good selection of cask ales. Friendly & attentive staff also. All in all a very pleasant experience which we hope to repeat.

Excellent food, great beer and very pleasant staff ... would definitely visit again

A fantastic pub in a beautiful village. We stayed half a mile away and ate here 6 nights out of 7. It’s so good, it would have been 7 nights, but they close on Mondays. Food is exceptional, the landlady and landlord plus the whole team couldn’t be more friendly. The locals were lovely and having this pub nearby was the icing on the cake to a perfect walking holiday. It’s a lovely looking pub, both inside and out, with a large car park and beer garden and very dog friendly. We will most definitely be back!

Totally different experience to last time we were there, quite a while ago. This time, a warm welcome, good atmosphere from outset and food was spot on. Will definitely be going back. Oh, well behaved dogs are welcome and their well behaved owners!

Had our last meal of our holiday there. Very nice too, as it was good Friday it was fish. All 8 of us enjoyed it.

The New Inn is a proper pub. My wife and I have past this terrific looking Inn many times. Only yesterday did we have the opportunity to call in and we weren’t disappointed. The Inn is everything a thatched country pub should be. Welcoming staff, great beer, wonderful food and atmosphere. Will return soon.

Came for lunch and enjoyed delicious food including really lovely fish and a locally made burger and great friendly service. It was getting quite busy so we were glad to have arrived early; although the owners are very accommodating and will always fit you in. Great selection of wines to try. This pub has a very good selection or wines to try and the owner clearly knows his wine. We will definitely be coming back.

Great country pub! Friendly staff and great quality food. The drinks selection is good and they have a selection of cocktails. Throughly enjoyed every meal I've had here. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely find on a trip out into Devon, food was excellent and the beer was well cellared. Highly recommended

Recommended in the info at our nearby holiday cottage and so glad we came. Definitely book ahead! Great welcome, we sat by the fire. Dog friendly. Fabulous mouth watering menu- they have nibbles as well as starters- yummy. We had pigs in blankets and pork crackling to share. My husband had the pie of the day I had the chicken supreme with bubble and squeak and cabbage- absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't going to have a desert but couldn't help myself with the strawberry jam sponge and custard. Would definitely come again and highly recommend!

Lovely atmosphere with Great staff and wonderful food of course. Highly recommended...

I was taken here today by my husband to enjoy our time together without our children. It was a lovely, quiet setting, beautiful building, friendly staff and the food was amazing. Everything came out beautifully presented, and was all cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back here again and highly recommend!

We spent a week in Sampford courtenay and visited The New Inn on 4 occasions, twice to eat, great food, friendly atmosphere, lovely owners and staff, a must if your in the area.

Friendly and welcoming. Lovely pub. Only stopped for a light snack and the food was delicious. Best of all - dogs are welcome!!

Excellent food and service with a smile. So good to see a flourishing village pub with a great atmosphere. Thank you

Great place for a meal. Went last night for 80th birthday. Food delicious, beer good, staff brilliant. Really relaxed atmosphere in this pub. Will definitely go again.

Food was fantastic, and the atmosphere and service were spot on. fresh food. 10/10 a dog friendly pub and real ales

Lovely food with great service, we were looked after as soon as we walked in. Will definitely return

Very nice pub restaurant. Lovely menu, friendly staff.

If your a young blonde waitress here add my snap - Ed.b3st

Food was excellent and served with a smile 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁

Superb food and a lovely welcome

Had a great plate of fish and chips
