The Olde Plough Inn in West Devon

We had a wonderful Sunday Lunch. The pub was packed and the food was excellent. The location is beautiful and we were made very welcome. We will definitely be returning 😊

Best Sunday dinner, completely gluten free!

Yet again this place nailed it. From the lovely welcome and atmosphere in the pub, incredible food and impeccable service. This is my go to local pub. This time we went all out had three courses each and spent most of our Sunday here and cannot think of any better way to spend a Sunday. Thank you to Sarah and family for getting it so right, back soon!

Fantastic roast with real care for the food. A wonderful friendly, family run pub. Relaxed atmosphere with great service. Luckily we live locally so can visit often.

Arrived just at closing time 3pm but the barlady very kindly made me a cup of tea, after walking nearly 10 miles! Many thanks,

Absolutely lovely food, fab service, and would highly recommend!

What a lovely pub like a village pub should be good beer excellent food lovely land lady could wish for no more on a wet Sunday

Had a lovely lunch here with a couple of friends for his birthday. Really good home cooked food and a cosy pub with a log burner. Lovely landlady serving us. Will be going back soon. We went for a delicious Sunday roast today and still the friendly cosy pub it was the last time we came. Will definitely be going again, good price and a good menu to choose from. Really, it is worth a visit.

Celebrating our dear friends 60th we ended up here and what treat! So wonderful to find this beautiful pub full of local characters, dogs and good atmosphere. The owner was a delight, the beer kept well and the wine was great. We ordered food - it was super - really tasty pub food but seriously the most delicious chips - what a suprise - real handmade chips!!! We’re coming back even though it’s miles out of way - it will be worth the drive!

Lovely pub which does an entirely gluten-free menu. Food is wonderful too, not always the case with gluten free. Very friendly atmosphere in a very pretty location.

Amazing meal with excellent service. Great place for gf people. Staff were very friendly . Defo be going back . Small but quaint pub. We Sat in the beer garden with lovely views of the water . All good is fresh , home made chips and the spare ribs were smoked on site and fell off the bone

Just amazing as a coeliac could eat anything off the menu. Food was brilliant non coeliac hubby also thought food was amazing. Fish and chips Friday and roast on Sunday with Yorkshire and cauliflower cheese! Lovely family run village pub.

Nice little local pub. And as a bonus, all the food is very tasty, and Gluten Free.

What a great local pub! We were staying just up the road for a two day mid-week break. The Olde Plough Inn was the only place available to have dinner at. To be honest based on the outside appearance we were rather uncertain as to what we were going to experience. Only going to comment on the food and service. We booked as we had no idea if it got busy and it is quite small. Right decision because for a mid-week night it did become busy. Our food was absolutely delicious, everything cooked/prepared from scratch including the coleslaw! We did not have to wait too long between ordering and being served. Unusual for me I was unable to finish my meal as it was so big. No room left to try one of their puddings. The cost was reasonable. We genuinely could not find fault with anything. We were made to feel welcome by the landlady. If you are staying in Bere Ferrers be sure to visit the pub for something to eat. We would definitely return if in the area again.

Shambles of a place. Outside dirty, unkempt, front area full of weeds, large dumpy bag full garden rubbish and other. Random ash tree growing out of left side. Re- rendered bit by front door still not painted after months. Why not spend even an hour making this pub look clean and inviting? Went elsewhere as this was not inviting.

Lovely, local, friendly pub. Landlady welcoming and service friendly. Beers good. Food good. Sunday lunch spot on. We visited several times during our holiday nearby and felt welcome each time.

Nice pub friendly lady. The Hygiene of the pub, toilet outside sitting area was disgusting!!! I dont think its been cleaned in years!!! Behind the bar cans all on the floor bins not been empty rubbish everywhere!! Shame really, lady was nice.

Service and rudeness of staff really let’s this place down Almost like it’s a crime to ask for a drink

Beautiful, traditional village pub with gorgeous beer garden, wonderful views and cracking food and beverage. Super friendly staff with great service and a wonderful view of the river. Locally sourced ingredients and proper home cooked food. We are so lucky to have you!

Despite slightly untidy look from the outside, a lovely pub inside. Great beer and cider selection and great food, with prompt service. Nice garden at the rear, close to the river.

Lovely country pub with excellent food and a lovely landlady, manage to squeeze us in for Sunday lunch last minute. So glad we visited!

Fantastic traditional pub in a fab location. Came as part of a largish group and food was great.

Friendly and welcoming, this small pub would surely be so much busier if it was anywhere less remote than it is. Service with a smile, the rhubarb cider was an eye opener, and the Sunday roast brisket was quite possibly the best pub roast I have ever had. Will definitely be recommending The Old Plough to our friends and family!

Friendly, family run pub with good food

Fantastic little pub near the water, wonderful food and brilliant service

Great find,with the best pulled pork bap ever !!! Lovely place all round.Will definitely be back .

Fantastic pub. Service was really friendly and the food is coeliac safe which is amazing too. Great meal, great atmosphere. Save room for dessert!

After a long walk, I needed a couple of chips . My first chips ever and they were the best. Wow, fantastic. Love, Violet, the Rotty

Best food I’ve had in ages, Roast is perfect. Ribs are amazing. Home cooked food. There’s pubs pretending to be great not so far away, and after some average meals in them I will be eating at the Plough from now on. Proper pub. Support it.

Very nice landlady, great ambience and great food (price/performance = top) - absolutely recommended.

Lovely old pub. The food was delicious and the landlady was soo friendly. I can highly recommend the chili nachos 😋. Beautiful walks to be had after .

A very nice landlady served us well :-) The portions were huge and the price was absolutely right.

Really amazing local pub with lovely host, delicious food and a pub dog that likes to play!!!!

Wonderful and welcoming staff & atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Great Pub friendly helpful staff excellent food and Tamara Export. Thank you.

Food was great. However got an unfriendly welcome when we arrived having walked about 8 miles. Was told they wouldnt serve food as had a large group pre book. In the end they did take our order. Pub itself is ok, it could do with a refurb

Delicious roast lamb, cooked to perfection. Lightly smoked and very tender. All of the accompaniments were lovely too. Great service and good value for money.

We love this place. A proper pub. The food is always excellent. Lovely roast on Sunday. Lightly smoked pork cooked to perfection, with all the trimmings. Good price too. This is how a pub should be. Good local ales, excellent wine and a friendly welcome. Fab walks too after the lunch!

Very good evening meal. Food was tasty, the lady serving us/behind the bar was friendly, and it was very cosy. Slight lack of atmosphere for a Saturday night but still an enjoyable evening.

Fantastic atmosphere , fantastic food and service , Totaly recommend to all , best place on the peninsular for food or drink

Really attentive, friendly host, a true family friendly little village pub with great food, prices, service and atmosphere. We've been two evenings in a row now and would definitely return if in the area again. It's a small pub but perfectly formed, thank you for being so welcoming, thanks to the chef those ribs where superb. The brisket pie and mash delicious and you can tell a lot of effort, time and attention has gone into the meals. They have thier own smokers too.

Went for a Sunday roast dinner and was not disappointed at all. Food home cooked, roast potatoes are to die for. Pub is cosy , staff were polite and chatty , a very pleasant atmosphere . Reasonable priced

Their Sunday roast is simply exceptional. Lovely welcome as always, fantastic service and the food is top notch. We were here for one of their curry nights recently too which again was amazing. The pub is well situated if you fancy a walk before or afterwards.

Absolutely charming family pub. Such a warm welcome. We enjoyed a delicious family meal, delighted and surprised to discover the entire menu is GLUTEN free. Huge portions, loads of beautifully cooked veg and huge Yorkshire Puddings. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are a Coeliac or have Gluten Intolerance

Beautiful place, lovely food and lovely hosts! Made to feel welcome immediately! Would highly recommend!

What a wonderful pub, off the beaten track but a well worth a visit. Fresh Home cooked food at its best. The menu was a mix of all different things great for a wet cold lunchtime visit in front of their wood burner fire. We had the mulled cider add it was just before Christmas, followed by sausage and mash , and a large portion of white bait. The mac & cheese and chilli was to die for . Go on give it a try.

Went in for sunday roast food was beautiful staff were brilliant atmosphere was great as well. We will be back.

Love the food, the fire and the vibe. Great village pub with wonderful family team to make you feel welcome. The problem is deciding which delicious option off the menu to try, but, the Mac n cheese is just stunning!

What a lovely welcome we had in this public house. We arrived in a big group to play some instruments and sing together, we had a fantastic evening of music and song 🎵 The food is of very high standard . Having a fire going and the local customers joining in made for a brilliant evening. I highly recommend this public house and would like to Thank Sarah Ted and family for there hospitality. Also the location of this beautiful place is blessed with stunning scenery set in the Tamar Valley.

Great food, good & attentive service and reasonable prices. A very pleasant village pub with an excellent team running it, long may it continue.

Definitely a trend in how I rate gluten free restaurants, but for someone with coeliac disease, I cannot stress enough how fantastic an entirely gluten free restaurant is for us. Despite the not let me just say the food was still AMAZING. Lovely Yorkshire puddings that come with the roast and I am glad I randomly found this place. The food is good despite it being GF so not just gluten free people need to go. Recommended to everyone. The staff were also lovely, welcoming and knowledgable. The whole place also had a classic local pub feel. All 8 of us that dined were more than pleased.

Can I just start by saying the quality of the food is very high , however tonight's experience completely soured our evening there, and we will never be returning. We had just settled down with our drinks in the corner next to the fire eagerly waiting for our roast , when 3 adults , 2 young girls ( one a baby ) and a bull dog came loudly into the pub . After getting their drinks they sat down , but for some reason 1 of the men decided it would be a good idea to stomp around the pub swinging the screaming girl around and shouting at the top of his voice . This was constant and was trying to attract attention which he achieved. The dog who was not on a collar or lead ,decided to camp out next to us slobbering as wanted our food , and was not called away by them to leave us in peace , they were also all openly vaping and didn't give a damm about anyone else there . Unfortunately it got worse when both men decided it would be a good idea to put the baby in between them , lifting their tops up exposing their bare chests , touching themselves inappropriately, sticking their tongues in each others ears whilst taking selfies. We tried to blank it out but the noise being made was unbearable, and we couldn't finish our food quick enough . These people seemed to know the lady behind the bar as mentioned her name , unfortunately she seemed to turn a blind eye to it all , which must have been hard to do as they were right near her . When we left I felt I had to go back and ask to have a word with her outside , she seemed shocked but to be honest I don't believe her , as you could not miss what was going on . We won't be returning, which is a shame as the food is great but I'm shocked at what I saw and the woman behind the bar seemingly condoning it .

Truly awesome roast, really friendly welcome as well. Highly recommend their Sunday lunch!

Lovely cosy traditional pub, the food is to die for and the landlady is extremely welcoming, friendly and polite. Very impressed!

The best chips . And my favourite rhubarb cider. Friendly village pub. Good food.

Very welcoming pub, very friendly service and food was excellent, I had the chili and it was very warming🌶️

Great pub, great service, great atmosphere and staff couldn't be more friendly!

Absolutely fabulous pub/ restaurant. Wonderful service and food.

We had two lovely meals here this week and feel we have only just scratched the surface - friendly staff with very good selection of local real ales and lagers - also very good selection of gins and rums - lots of home cooking on the menu which is high quality and very tasty - all the very best. Came back this week a year later and the drinks food and service are still excellent - great area for dogs in the garden

This review is a little late, as couldn’t remember what the pub was called. We came in with friends for a Sunday roast and wow it was amazing. We all still talk about the roast here. The pub was an old village pub, the owner were friendly and helpful.

Nice old pub with good atmosphere. Lovely beer garden with nice views.

lovely pub, the food is delicious especially the Sunday roast but the toilets are terrible, especially the outside one, it's quite disgusting. There is no lock on the door of the inside toilet either, a bit embarrassing when you walk in on someone!! they all need a refurb and good clean.

A very warm welcome to a family pub

Just simply a lovely pub in an idyllic area. Well worth a visit.

Friendly atmosphere with great choice of food at sensible prices. We'll worth a visit ...even on a rainy summer day😉

Very nice food lovely service thank you 😊

An excellent pub nicely eclectic and out of the way. Ale perfect! Food great

Went on a Sunday hoping to get food unfortunately they where over booked friendly atmosphere will return pre booked to try the food as the stuff that went past us looked and smelt amazing

We called and reserved tables less than an hour before arriving - on a Sunday. The lovely lady behind the bar simply couldn't do enough for us and the chap in the kitchen cooked up some truly fantastic food - paying careful attention to any special dietary requirements. Great selection of local ales and everything else you could need for alcoholic imbibement. The pub is beautiful and old - situated in a peaceful, picturesque village, with some stunning views. Please stop off there - you will be extremely pleased you did.

What a great local pub! We stayed just up the road for the weekend and spent both evenings in there for food and drinks and were made to feel like locals by the lovely landlady and her fabulous family. We were able to take our young puppy 'Dave' in and he was adored by them and it instantly made us feel at ease. The food is absolutely delicious especially the fresh potato peeled chips!! But also not forgetting the Friday fish and the fishcakes, we honestly could not fault anything. If you are staying in Bere Ferrers be sure to pay the pub a visit...if you're staying locally be sure to pay the pub a visit! Either way you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food and the whole kitchen is free from Gluten and Wheat. A friendly welcome and service, good quality and quantity of food. Good range of beers. A lovely beer garden to enjoy the summer. We will definitely be back again.

Great local pub, brilliant atmosphere and selection of beers. Located right next to the water 5*

We were well looked after today, 19.5.23, the meal we chose was Brisket pie with chips, carrots and cauliflower . It was a lovely full plate meal in quiet surroundings for a Friday lunchtime. We had come down from Gunnislake on the train for a walk about.

Great for those who need GF food as the WHOLE menu is super tasty and GF!!! Lovely village location. Booking is essential before you visit.

We went to this lovely pub whilst staying just up the road. We had Sunday lunch and Friday evening dinner. Both were fabulous food, all home cooked and to the highest quality. They home smoke their meat and it is delicious. It might be the only pub locally but the quality is amazing. The service is top drawer, the landlady recognised us and welcomed us like we were regulars. Well worth a visit if you are anywhere near the area.

Great atmosphere and food. Made us feel very welcome would recommend.

We received a warm welcome,great service and delicious well priced food.Our group involved two children,a vegan, a vegetarian and a dog all were catered for without any problems. Would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely visit today for my mum's birthday. Sunday roast was fantastic, slow cooked and smoked meat, tasty veg, friendly welcome. Found out the whole menu is gluten free- and GF Yorkshire pud better than any I've had with wheat flour. Totally recommend making the trip, Bere Ferrers is a special place for a gentle walk after your lunch.

Nice beer, nice food, good location

Lovely village pub with some great beers

Found this pub online when looking for somewhere to go for Sunday lunch, they managed to fit us in and we weren’t disappointed. This cozy pub is set in a small Village, the lovely lady behind the bar who i presume was the landlady was so welcoming and helpful as soon as we entered the pub. There is a lovely menu but when we were offered brisket for Sunday roast it was an easy decision. The chef smokes the brisket and chicken and we are informed the ribs as well (which we will return for soon). When it arrived there was plenty of delicious melt in the mouth brisket, lovely crispy roast potatoes, a large yorkshire pudding and 6 different beautifully cooked vegetables along with a jug of gravy and some horseradish in a pot. After we finished we were offered home made profiteroles or cheesecake, we both had the cheesecake which was lovely. The meal was really good and as i said we will definitely be returning and recommending to friends. If you haven’t been here please book a table and go you wont be disappointed.

Great food, beer and coffee. Lovely welcome. This pub is in a stunning location in the Tamar Valley - great views and walks. There was so much on the menu that I could have eaten! Highlights for lunch though were amazing soups and burgers.

Nice old pub in scenic location.

A first visit and a very enjoyable visit, comprising great company, an interesting menu, attentive service and a delicious meal. While the off-the-beaten-track location may add to the many challenges faced by all publicans today, the enterprising, enthusiastic approach alongside the friendly service and great food and drink is surely a winning combination. We will be back, soon!

Fantastic place....really cosy and welcoming ....The food is to die for ....Sunday lunch was THE best we've ever eaten and the Mac and cheese with pulled pork is heaven in a bowl... The personal touches such as remembering my husband is a non drinker and offering 0% beer and cider makes such a personal touch the meal.. Definitely recommend it 😋😋😋

Very friendly reception and cosy atmosphere The food was absolutely divine ... The best Sunday lunch we've ever eaten and gorgeous desserts too Would definitely recommend you to pay them a visit

Great Sunday roast ( even had gluten free Yorkshire puddings) as well as an excellent menu , if roast not so your taste. Easy to understand menu clearly marked with allergens. Nearly all meals could be made gluten free and there was even a choice of gluten free desserts. Traditional pub dating from 1690 with a cosy log burner and live music providing a cosy retreat from the miserable weather outside

We stopped here on a long walk. We were too late for sunday lunch but the landlady offered us chips without prompting. They were the best chips homemade chips I’ve had recently. Fellow drinkers were friendly and chatty, lovely village by the estuary.

Friendly welcome from landlady and fellow drinkers alike. Made it in a bit late to eat lunch but they obliged us with bowls of chips which were perfect. Lovely unspoilt pub where you could easily spend a very comfortable and pleasant few hours.

Lovely pub, great food and friendly staff.

Lovely pint in the garden .Nice and sheltered

Lovely local pub fantastic landlady and the food 10 out of 10. Definitely one we'll be going back to.

Good food. Chilli was great. Will return.

Very welcoming and a great atmosphere. A pint of the devon dumpling was very nice and the food was great. Perfect pub.

We went to this lovely pub on a very busy evening and the service and food was excellent. Ribs great. Friendly helpful staff

This dog-friendly pub in the heart of Bere Ferrers had a thriving atmosphere when we visited. The food was delicious and there was a wide-variety of options for vegetarians. The menu was well-priced and Sarah was very attentive throughout our visit. I cannot recommend this...

I can’t recommend this pub highly enough. From the minute we entered we were made to feel so welcome by Sarah, nothing was to much trouble. Food is excellent, we had chicken wings, ribs, pork bites, amazing coleslaw for lunch. We went back the next...

Teds outrageously delicious barbecue ribs with his homemade insanely scrumptious barbecue sauce - will transport you directly to Tennessee ~ whilst Sarah’s warm and gracious care, of not just all her delighted guests, but supporting her community too. You will love the warmest welcome ~...
