The Old Inn in Teignbridge

George and Tim (staff) were absolutely first class, couldn't fault them and both were entertaining too. Great selection of drinks on tap and the food was delicious. The chef seemed pleased when I let him know :). Looking for an excuse to come back. 10/10

Every now and again we pop to Widecombe as we live too far away. It's a beautiful picturesque village in the heart of Dartmoor and at the centre, is the wonderful Old Inn. Food and service are both excellent and having walked through the restaurant this Sunday, I now realise I have to go back and try the carvery. Well worth a visit.

Been to The Old Inn on a number of occassions under the previous managment and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere , food and level of service . Sadly will not be going again as on this occassion under the new managment the food was not as good and the service was very disappointing , more like a visit to a Toby Inn for a serve yourself Carvery and then being told I had ordered a Desert totally different to what I had ordered and pretty much forced to accept it by a member of staff , which was very difficult to refuse as the bill had already been settled . Sorry but an honest review of a once very nice place to have a Sunday lunch that has now lost its spark ,... Edit addition in reply. Unfortunately the owners response has been exactly as expected , see below , We originally ordered the sticky toffee pudding but asked to change it to a chocolate brownie as my dining partner doesn't like fruit in the pudding , I personally asked at the bar if this could be changed to a chocolate Brownie with custard and what appeared was a lemon posset that had never been mentioned to which the member of staff insisted I had . No Chocolate brownie had appeared at the table at any stage so after a denial from myself the member of staff responded that I had in fact ordered this Lemon Posset desert that neither myself or my dining friend had ever even heard of , I feel like I had been accused of lying which I totally reject and this has made me want to reinforce to future customers that my review is in fact an honest review of a Sunday lunch that had fallen short especially because that if we had been informed that the lunch was going to be carvery style then we certainly would have cancelled and gone elsewhere , we were only made aware it was a carvery set up on arrival and was told this was because they were short staffed , a complete farce .

A wonderful way to spend a bank holiday - VE day celebrations. We had the loveliest meal (burger, ribs, pizza for the kids) and then went outside and joined in some folk dancing! The food is seriously good - top quality for standard pub prices. The atmosphere is friendly and homely, but with very competent staff and attention to detail. If only we loved closer we would be here all the time!

Lovely looking old world pub with great menu choices, amazing food . Even better service. Highly recommend a visit . Plus they do accommodation..

Not a nice experience. We waited over 75 minutes for the lunch to be served. It appeared everyone else got served before our table. The waitress tried to chase and appeared embarrassed. The food was not great quality with 1 of the family having to complain about the gammon served to her. Will not be going back

Excellent service and fabulous food.

Had a very nice lunch here on Bank Holiday Monday. The atmosphere was cosy country pub, just what we were after. Front of house were extremely welcoming and couldnt fault the service. Was great to see how busy it was. We arrived at a good time. If wanting to ensure a table you need to book. Highly recommend the pub and the rack of ribs. Beautifully cooked and fell off the bone. Live music in the garden and folk dancing. The most gorgeous beer garden with outdoor food cabin and bar. Blankets on offer for a chilly afternoon and the Ducks and Chickens were great. Roaming round the garden and clucking made a great atmosphere in the afternoon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Old Inn was a fantastic pub - the service was brilliant and the atmosphere was lovely. We went for a carvery and I can honestly say that it was the best carvery we have had - all the components were delicious and it was incredibly reasonably priced. The desserts were also delicious- particularly the cheesecake and Eton mess.

This is my second visit when I go to the moors. The food is lovely and the staff are friendly and professional. We both had the fish & chips and it was really good with triple cooked chips.

We really enjoy coming to this pub, especially after a long walk in the moors. Staff are friendly and efficient and the food is lovely. My only criticism is they used to do a lovely curry but don’t have this on the menu anymore.

Just had an amazing breakfast in the garden, an inviting area with ducks and a variety of shaded or full sun seating. Service was efficient, and the staff were helpful. Breakfast itself was such good value, and all the ingredients were of very good quality, certainly one of the best breakfasts we've had. This is a must if you want an enjoyable start to the day, we will be back for an evening meal as well.

I know there's new owners and it's worth visiting for a drink, but the food let it down. It's a beautiful building though and maybe we were just unlucky.

A lovely atmosphere as soon as we walked through the door,the smell of a fire burning & lovely tasteful decor. The staff were very attentive and friendly and everything looked very well organised. We shared a Seafood platter,consisting of anchovies and mussels,battered goujons and the most divine mackerel pate...with big hunks of seeded bread....it was enough for 2 and we did not leave anything ! We also had delicious desserts and I had a pint of their own Stout which went down a treat. We plan to go again in the autumn it really was a special treat.

Our first visit to the Old Inn, and well worth the rainy drive!! The food was outstanding (calamari, fish pie for me and a burger for my other half). It arrived freshly cooked and piping hot, and tasted incredible. Our server was brand new, just started that day, and she was the perfect level of attentive and chatty. Can’t wait to go back on a sunnier and warmer day so we can enjoy the views and the village of Widecombe!

My husband and I had lunch here last week. My husband had the turkey curry which wasn't great. Lots of meat ( no veg) coated in a curry sauce which tasted like it had been emptied out of a tin. I had the vegan burger which was very wet and soggy. On the plus side, all the ingredients in the burger bun with the burger were fresh and the triple cooked chips were great. I had an orange juice and lemonade which was either extremely watered down or instead of using orange juice, orange squash had been used. I only drank a small amount 🙁 The location of the pub and the outside space was lovely. Not sure we would eat there again though.

Excellent Sunday carvery despite the pub being very busy. The bar lady was exceptionally lovely especially to our kids, again even though she was rushed off her feet. Really great Sunday lunch experience.

Poor is the only thing I will say , the venison came out overdone and dry, the kids Mac n cheese salty and again dry no sauce at all ! When we explained our issues to the manager he had the cheek to argue with us! Horrible service from the management this place is going downhill fast ! Drove a hour to visit this Resturant and won’t be returning !

We have always loved the old inn, it is one of our favourite pubs. However, it had lost some of it's appeal recently, but I'm pleased to say Micheal and Shane have really brought it back to life. It is vibrant, friendly, great food and such a happy atmosphere. Can't wait for some sunny days in the beer garden, especially now there will be birds again. It has always been my favourite beer garden.

Battered fish and chips excellent. The mussels were cooked just right but far too much pepper in the cream sauce. The ice cream was disappointing with only one scoop but tasted very good but I didn't expect it to be served in a plain thick glass cup. I would have given it five starsall round but for the glitches that can easily be put right. Thanks for what was an enjoyable experience.

Got the recommendation to go here from a local friend who sent me a Facebook link to the new menu launched this week. It did not disappoint. We had full ribs and steak with peppercorn sauce and homemade onion rings. Food was super tasty and very reasonably priced. Staff so lovely and friendly. We will definitely be back and will let others know too. I think this is my now one of my favourite places to eat at.

What a lovely experience! Me and my partner regularly visit and this our first time trying the new menu. We enjoyed every bite; the burger was juicy, seasoned to perfection and was filling. The service was exceptional too. We had a smiley and polite team look after us from start to finish.

We visited The Old Inn in Widecombe three times during our holiday—not just because there aren’t many other choices, but because it was genuinely great from start to finish. We have to admit, we weren’t expecting much at first. Many places in the area still have quite old-fashioned menus, serving peas with everything, and we usually avoid places when we see that in photos. However, we decided to give it a try and simply ordered without peas. When the food arrived, we were really happy. The pie was amazing—packed with meat, yet still juicy and tender. The scampi was fantastic too, and the desserts were just as good. We enjoyed it so much that we came back twice more. We also tried the Rugglestone Inn in between, but the food wasn’t as good, and the lady at the front was very rude. Back to The Old Inn—it has a mix of an old section, a newer part, and a conservatory, plus free parking for guests at the back. The staff were really welcoming, which made all the difference. The food did take a while to arrive, but that’s understandable, especially in the off-season when there might be a staff shortage. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll definitely return if we’re in the area again.

Great service from Ethan, food was amazing and a great setting to enjoy lunch in.

Excellent food and service. Ethan was our server.

Always pop in and have great food everytime..

Was very busy here had a bad experience. the starter was going 2 come out same time as mains we told them not to so they put the mains under hot lights. We ended up with warm salad and warm coleslaw and colder chips than the salad & slaw however the barman was very accommodating and offered us money off the bill the only reason we ate it was we were hungry and didn't want to wait 40 mins or more. But we have had ok meals there before

Very nice building, lots of room inside and out, beer garden was very nice in good weather. Great food, ordered the pizza and a side of onion rings, both clearly freshly made from scratch and fairly priced. Polite staff who engaged in conversation. Nice little shop located inside useful to walkers on the trail. Overall great location.

Very disappointed with the carvery, the food Was very sloppy it seemed that everything was mashed and there was very little choice, No broccoli or peas etc The food tasted ok and the service was good but for the money we expected more. Unfortunately won't be returning sorry.

Whilst turning up without booking, we entered a characterful village, and parked over from the pub in the village carpark (£2 honest box). A short cold walk over we entered the pub which felt cozy and seemed clean and friendly. Welcoming staff, with good pub banter made us feel right at home in their pub. Went to the toilets, which were immaculately clean, smelling good, and surprisingly had hot and cold taps, and smooth music, what more could you want...everything was thought of. After sitting down for a drink first, badger ales, and coke, we poured over the generous menu, with a great range of foods and reasonable prices for 2025. I picked the 3 sausages and mash, chips and garlic bread, whilst my friend (veggie) chose the classic pizza. With a reasonable wait time, we were served piping hot food, that tasted great. Character of the pub, and new editions were complimentary to the older parts and there seemed nothing that wasnt thought about with cookies and cake on the bar counter, and friendly thoughtful staff, that made sure we were looked after. I would recommend to anyone visiting the moors, to pop in and they should feel very happy that they did. Congrats to the whole team.

Two drinks and bag a crisp £14.50 Only once

Always amazing food and great atmosphere

Popped in to the Old Inn for a pizza as they currently offer 2 for £20 on a Thursday. Pizzas were really good, we both love a thin base and they were generous with toppings. Shame they don't offer a spicy option or chilli oil to pep your pizzas up!! We were served by Ethan who was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I like the decor changes new owners have made, brightens the place up. A nice atmosphere for a chilly Thursday night, a lit fire would have been nice. See you soon 👍

Great atmosphere and great food!

We have visited many times. However, our most recent visit was disappointing. Firstly, one of our favorites – the Widdecombe cheese pot – was no longer on the menu, which was a real letdown. The chicken curry was another disappointment; it was lacking in chicken and instead filled with vegetables and cashew nuts, which wasn’t what we expected. On top of that, the portion sizes seem to have decreased, making it feel less like the generous meals we were used to. The biggest issue, however, was the seating arrangement. We were packed into the conservatory, which felt cramped and uncomfortable, taking away from the usually pleasant dining experience. Overall, this visit didn’t live up to past experiences, and we left feeling let down

Another lovely carvery on Sunday! Our 4th visit in a few months. We travel from North Devon to visit because the carvery food is so tasty! There was a new lady on shift, it was her first day and she was great, really bubbly and easy going. We ate inside and then took our drinks to the garden to enjoy the sun, can't wait to visit again soon.

My first time visiting the Old Inn and will not be the last. This pub is nestled in the village and the atmosphere is simply classic Dartmoor village pub. The smells, the welcome and the menu was cool. It was “Burger Night” and went with one of their burgers. My partner is not a big eater and they accommodated her request with a smile. The burger tasted homemade and fresh along with it being tasty. I am not a sweet tooth desert person but…the black vanilla ice cream cream Afogato sounded interesting and I am so glad I ordered it. Add this to your must eat places. Great staff too. See you Friday :D

Delicious pie and lasagne, lovely fire

Staying in the area for a long weekend. Barman was very welcoming, we have a large dog and everyone was very friendly. We were impressed with the food. Our first night we had a lovely pie and burger and both had steak the second night. Lovely presented food and tasted great. We sat in front of the fire one night which was lovely after a day walking.

Great atmosphere, good pint selection & owner - Shane, was really helpful. Will definitely come again. So much more lively than last time I have been when it was under previous ownership.

Tuesday Pie Night was great - proper pies (not just a pastry top!) and quality food all round. Thanks, Michael and Shane!

Went for lunch today ., first time since change of management . We both had the Clucker burger which was lovely x a nice piece of chicken , plenty of bacon . Big onion rings . Will have this again . The staff were lovely very friendly and nothing was too much trouble . My dogs very welcome with complimentary doggie biscuits on the bar , so they will definitely go again. Great atmosphere , very welcoming and relaxing . Will be back as we are local .

Great menu choices and reasonable prices. The meal was delicious and the atmosphere was good, with friendly staff. I'd definitely recommend The Old Inn.

I've been going here for years and always enjoyed it in the pub. The last few years were disappointing as they changed hands, the food went down hill so we all stopped going. I was so happy to see it has just changed hands again and couldn't wait to go again for my sisters birthday... Firstly we had one extra person, the owner got in a mood and yanked the table to open it further - some of us had drinks on the table and the children jumped. Where do I start we waited an hour and 15 mins for our food. I was so happy they did a jacket potatoes, so I ordered a jacket potatoes as I wanted to eat healthy and checked out the menu before we booked. My husband ordered a steak with a jacket potatoe. About an hour before it arrived the owner came to our table to say I can't have a jacket potato they don't do them on a Saturday as it's too busy. I went through the menu they didn't have anything I liked which was heathly, I was absolutely gutted (through trying to order the owner was very rude rolling his eyes tuting and tapping on his clipboard and extremely moody.) Well my husband’s food came out with a jacket potato on his plate…. The owner couldn’t explain why I could have one when we questioned him, he was just so rude and very argumentative. My husband offered to put the jacket potatoe on my plate but the owner was watching us and we felt if he had of done it the owner would have taken it further (it wasn’t worth it as he’d already upset my sisters bday meal.) Please see my pictures- The owner said couldn’t do a jacket potatoes with egg mayo 🤦‍♀️ If it wasn’t for the owner and his very poor attitude the pub would be lovely. All the other staff were lovely ☺️

Lovely pub in a beautiful location. Highly recommend ploughmans and a pint or two. Pie night Tuesday 5 - 8 we’ll be back

Visited in a medieval atmosphere. Food and service were pleasantly impressed. Tasty and not expensive. Around ancient architecture, the tower of the Cathedral of the Moors, streets and houses. Protected territory. Recommended for diving into the past for 500-600 years.

Had a lovely family meal for Sunday lunch. Great service, staff were polite and friendly. Most of us had the carvery, everyone enjoyed their meal and will definitely be back.

I came in with a friend, after a longggg walk. We walked in and were warmly greeted. We had a lovely meal looking out the window next to a warm crackling fire in the middle of the room. We then moved next to the fire place and had desert. Really lovely atmosphere. Staff were lovely and adapted to my meal. So definitely all 5 stars. The lady who served us were really lovely and hand a good sense of humour, or many she just laughed at my rubbish jokes. 🤣

Excellent birthday buffet today for my wife's surprise birthday party. They catered excellently for coeliacs at a very reasonable price per person.

Have been regular visitors here when walking on Dartmoor, it's everything you look for in a country pub.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch here. The food arrived very quickly after ordering and was delicious; sauces and extra gravy were brought to the table straight away as well which was great. As always the atmosphere was very welcoming and the service was first class.

2 people serving in the bar, no table service. The short guy serving was drinking beer, whist the other guy with long hair was clueless, probably new to the job. 60 minutes wait for the food, when food came ( 2 roasts + 1 side of cauliflower , 1 kids chicken nuggets and 1 kids roast) it was a complete disaster. - burnt cauliflower - burnt Yorkshire pudding (1 missing, but couldn’t even complain as the bar was full of people waiting to be served) - vegetables tasteless (tasted like water!!) - roast potatoes were hard, as way too crispy. - to end things we even went for coffee, and guess what? Long wait and cold coffee - could we complain? Again, bar packed with people so we just wasted some more money Absolutely joke the premium price we paid for the service and quality of food. Nearly forgot to say that I had to move our plates to the table next to us as no one came around to clear it Not coming back, and do not recommend. £23 for a tasteless roast plus appealing service!!!

Vege/vegan Sunday roast £19, same price as the gammon and turkey option, but a much diminished plate of food, missing the Yorkshire puddings and parsnips that came with the meat options. We did get a handful of cold pea sprouts to fill the plate up, 4 spouts , a spoonful of boiled carrots and a spoonful of something, I don't know what. Many other pubs manage to provide a good vegetarian option without charging so much for less food. Very disappointing, especially for the high price. No effort taken. Wouldn't recommend.

Great staff and food, super busy. Fab decorations and a warm welcome for everyone who goes. We highly recommend that you book so as not to be disappointed.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, beautiful decorations, great food, what more could you want?! Lil dog was welcome too

What an amazing atmosphere, so welcoming and friendly, great fires, beautiful Christmas decorations, great choice of tasty vegan food, such a great place to of spent some time during the Christmas holidays

Terrible service. Food average. We were told initially there was a 35 minute wait, and we sat down and ordered drinks and food. After 1hour and 40minutes waiting one of us received our food, then waited 10 minutes before the other 3 plates were brought out!! Terrible terrible service! We’ve been coming here on the 27th December for the last 8 years for my mums birthday, but after this experience we will not be coming back. No apology for the delays or anything. My father paid as he didn’t want me to make a fuss…. Sort it out management!!

Came in during a busy Sunday before Christmas. Staff friendly and helpful as always. Genuinely the best nut roast and cherry pie I’ve had. As a vegan the pub was very accommodating and never scrimped on quality and value for money. Keep coming to local places with character, good food and a warm welcome.

Absolutely amazing food and service! Thank you

Just had a lovely meal at The old Inn with my family. Warm, welcoming friendly staff. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Very festive. Food was excellent with a good varied menu. Great service. Will definitely return in the near future.

Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely morning. We really enjoyed our breakfast with Santa. The activity sheets were a nice extra. 🎄🎅

Beautiful pub, amazing range of hot & cold drinks, we booked the Breakfast with Santa, kids absolutely loved it, our hosts Shane & Michael couldn't of done more.

A beautiful, cosy pub with great food and good atmosphere. Generous portions at a good price. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic service , even the chef Michael jonas came out to make sure our meals were okay and Shane most welcoming host

We've been in every month once or twice for a few years, but this week it was different.. not as friendly, the chips seemed to be more 'wetherspoons' and greasier than they used to be, the chicken was dry, small and sad looking and the pulled pork was in weird mince and cubes? Not to the usual standard, I'm glad when I took my family here in October this wasn't the experience we had, if it had been our first visit I expect the rugglestone would've ended up being our semi-regular instead! The only thing that was different but improved was the calamari, which had a nice crispy batter. Nice lemon oil on the side salad. We'll try it again I expect,.and hope that it was just an off night, as I'm going to miss walking straight from Hameldown to the pub, if this is the direction it's going..

Great food atmosphere and a warm welcome.

Now under new management (moved in just over a week ago), but with the same Badger beer tenancy. Kind staff. Some thought that the chicken dish (not the pie) was a little 'stringy' due to the combination of microwave and oven cookery involved. Some crockery did not match the dish it was on as well. These are minor startup teething issues. However, the greatest disappointment was the absence of Dartmoor beer on tap. Surely, an Inn based right in Dartmoor should sell its eponymous beer to locals and visitors alike? But no! The brewery has refused point-blank to allow the tenants to sell this local beer, insisting that ONLY Badger beer (good quality) is available. This is unacceptable, petty, and done purely as a 'greedflation' exercise by a brewery that clearly cares not a jot about the local Dartmoor community and its visitors. Do not expect local traditions and cultures to be upheld by this brewery, which hasn't changed since the last tenants were here! For that reason alone we cannot give it 5 stars.

A wonderful warm welcome from Shane and Michael who took over the pub last weekend. We booked a table and had a lovely 2 course meal with a bottle of wine, perfect service and enjoyed the warm and cozy atmosphere of the Old inn. We stayed two nights in the car park in our motor home, spending the days exploring the area on our bikes. On the second day we enjoyed the afternoon coffee and carrot cake offer, and drinks by the log fire in the evening. Lovely pub and perfect hosts.

Welcome to Widecombe new landlords Shane and Michael!

Lovely pub!!! Sunday roast was absolutely delicious and the portions were fantastic. The staff were very friendly and service was very quick.

Lovely old pub, excellent beer and food.

A super pub, but lacking in beer and cider selection compared to others. Food good and plentiful and service good and quick. Well cooked and service good. Thank you.

The manager was very rude he told my family that we were in the way whilst we were waiting to buy a drink it is my Son's 7th birthday all he wanted was to play top trumps and have a coke. Badly managed by the manager and barman. Because we were not eating we were not valued Customers. Disappointed.

A very large country pub that lacked atmosphere, probably due to the time of day and lack of customers (14:30). Limited awful range of ciders. The pub was quaint in parts but was also reminiscent of a modern plastic pub. Some great literary quotes on the walls and the largest indoor fire pit I have seen in a pub. Probably the top Grockle pub in the area in summer.

What a wonderful place to stop off on the Moors. This is a very roomy pub/restaurant yet very cozy! I love the 14th century history. The food was great and the local stout, Outland, hit the spot. It made our day on the Moors perfect. Make sure to stop off afterwards to see the church, St. Pancras. I was very impressed with the farmhouse ploughman’s lunch! And the steak and ale pie was very wonderful.

Salmon tasted great. Service is a bit slow. It feels cozy and homely inside. It’s a nice gem in the country.

First visit since before covid lockdown. Delighted to say it was as lovely as ever. Excellent choice of food and drink, very friendly service Lovely food. Plenty of paking

Lovely old coaching inn, dog friendly, with large fireplaces and stone floors. Loads of cosy areas to sit. Food was very good! Great atmosphere on a rainy evening. Staff were friendly.

We visited The Old Inn twice on our recent trip to Dartmoor. On both occasions the food, ambience and service was first class. Thank you to all the staff for 2 wonderful visits

This pub is amazing! We ate here after a long days hiking. The food was seriously good, exactly what we needed before heading off to the moor to wild camp. We both had a pies, and it was so tasty, and cannot recommend the chips highly enough! A couple of hours later, when the pub was technically closed, they came to our rescue when we had to leave the moor for reasons beyond our control. Fran & Harry were so lovely. From letting us in to use the internet, to putting themselves out to help us secure a taxi, we were so grateful. True heroes for two mature damsels in distress. They deserve all the custom and success in the world, for their kindness alone. Faith in human nature restored. A fabulous old pub, with seriously tasty food and wonderful staff - go there; and quickly!

The Old Inn in Widecombe is very friendly and the food was amazing. We stayed in Widecombe for a week, 7th to 14th September 2024 and visited the old Inn twice doring the week for our evening meal. The pub is lovely, the staff friendly and accomodating and the atmosphere was great. My husband had the steak pie on our first visit and it was delicious. The steak was tender and the chips excellent. It also came with steamed veg which was also excellent. Cooked to perfection. My burger was also excellent and portions are very generous. We decided there and then to visit again during our visit and did so on our final evening. We were not disappointed. This time we chose to sit in the older part of the pub which was cosier but the atmosphere was just as friendly at the main bar and the service and food was once again excellent. I would recommend The Old Inn in Widecombe if you enjoy excellent food and ale and excellent service and atmosphere

Great good, great atmosphere, great evening, would definitely visit again.

First visit to the Old Inn. We had a superb Plougmans. Highly recommended. Great location.

Lovely cosy but large pub/restaurant in the village, with a huge beer garden as well. Lovely staff and food alike, we had a Ploughman's and the Fish stew for lunch on Weds 28th August.

Brilliant traditional country pub in Dartmoor.

Historical pub set in an beautiful hamlet. Great nooks for sharing a pint and a few stories. Didn’t eat but draft bitter was excellent

Very typical tavern and particularly delicious and authentic dishes. All in a warm and also authentic setting. A real good memory of our stay.

Monday lunchtime after a drive up to the moors. It was pleasant enough. Quite expensive for OK food I think

A fantastic pub, with really good food

A pub with a very nice atmosphere and a garden to sit outside. The food and service are also really good. If we ever go on holiday to Dartmoor again, we ll be very happy to come back.

Lovely pub, with lots of history. Decorated nicely all throughout the pub. It has a car park and also a public car park near by which you pay for. Nice and cozy bar areas with bigger area out the back. Nice wood burners. Amazing food! Service was fairy quick and didn't have to wait to long for food even though it was busy. Dogs welcome. I would recommend booking a table. Second time we have been here and it didn't disappoint.

Quick and helpful service, good food, nice selection of beers and lovely location. Update: I come every time I return to Devon, I love it, the staff are always so lovely and the food is damned excellent. I recommend it to everyone that passes by.

Beautiful place great food kid friendly. Cheap for its location. Only a few miles from hay tor

Ate a delicious fish stew, friendly staff.

Our family loved Widecombe’s only pub. The staff is friendly and have a fine selection of dishes and beverages. If you are touring this area I highly recommend to stop by The Old Inn.

Food was very porly done, beef burgers tasted like pork and came rare, sunday roast meat was made of chewing gum and all forms of potatoes were hard yet somehow soggy rather then crispy.

Thank you to the Old Inn. We are not locals but every time we visit, the pub feels homely and clean, also the service is just so warm. I have been gluten free for over 15 years and so my pub meals are invariably steak, gammon or ham and eggs. What a joy to have gluten-free, crispy, battered fish with delicious chips. I know that you have been serving this for years because I have been eating it for years and every time, it is delicious. Please don't change.

Sadly the food was very disappointing. Dry brownie and second rate chips. The chips used to be the best! Also dry fish cakes which sounded so promising. Nice friendly waitress, but we shan’t be back for a while.

Just had a drink in rear garden..nice

A disappointing 'special pizza'. An overcooked basic pizza with a few pieces of parmesan and Prosciutto on top. Hard, tasteless and overpriced.
