The Old Church House Inn in Teignbridge

My wife and I are trying to get round as many different local pubs as we can at the weekends. This one was on our list today. It's right out in the sticks so it's not unfair to say that we went out of our way to get here. We were met with a sign on the gated car park across the road that says "we do not cater for walk ins". I cannot think of a more unfriendly way to run a pub. We turned around and left before even entering and we will not be returning. If my money is not welcome there then we will take it elsewhere. We went down the road to the Coppa Dolla which offered a much, much friendlier atmosphere. This would have been our 546th new pub, and I can honestly say that I have never seen such an unwelcoming place. With the Coppa Dolla just round the corner, there is no need to visit the Church House at Torbryan.

The pub from Whinfrey's Last Case?!

Lovely old pub available for large parties to rent for a week. Facilities are fantastic, you get the bar, social spaces and lots of high quality bedrooms. All bedrooms are top notch with a TV and very modern bathroom. It is in a rural location so be prepared for the roads! Overall highly recommended!

Made the mistake of driving all the way here (2 hours) after reading about it in a CAMRA publication. Pulled into the car park and was immediately confronted by a rather officious woman with a curt "Can I help you??. I asked if the pub was open. Response: "No!" and as I was just about to ask about it, she stormed off and entered the pub. Nice. Guess we annoyed her.

Used to be a lovely old pub but it's closed now. You can hire out the whole pub for a cost. Such a shame

Lovely lady who owns it, Amanda x

Fantastic family holiday, owner was lovely and very accommodating, venue was amazing, would highly recommend 😁

My wife and I visited this pub for an evening meal but we were sadly disappointed. We both had fillet steak, which understandably was fairly expensive, unfortunately it arrived on stone cold plates. I raised this with the manager who said that it comes with a side salad and obviously you would not put salad on a hot plate. I pointed out that we had not asked for a side salad and he replied, " well that's the way it is " , and walked off. Not a place that we will be returning to. Max and Shirley

My partner and myself had an overnight stay.. We could not of booked a better place, friendly staff and most of all what friendly locals! Evening meal was faultless and a good hearty breakfast! Our room was very clean and quiet, bed was also comfortable. We are certainly going back. It was home from home.

Excellent restaurant. Good menu with a range of fresh local meat and fish dishes. The game was particularly good and the cheese board was lovely.

Brought our friend along to the Game Evening. Spoilt for choice on the Menu, it was all 'very tasty Menu'. We had Excellent Food and the Service was Good. AN EXCELLENT EVENING WITH GOOD FOOD. . Thank you for the Birthday Cake for 'Sue'
