The Palk Arms in Teignbridge

A lovely pub with friendly staff and good food, served swiftly and efficiently. We had been on a long uphill walk to get there, and were very glad to be able to sit at a window table and look at the wonderful view. Will definitely return when we are in the area again. There was a huge log fire in the other room which would be great to sit near on a cold winter day.

Had a fabulous meal at The Palk Arms last night, the food was superb and the staff were really friendly and welcoming, as always. We love it here and would definitely recommend! 5 stars all round!

Good selection of real ales, 60p pool good value, friendly staff. First good pub guide appearance 1987 (5th edition), also in camras latest 2024 edition of good beer guide. Excellent Northern view from rear across rolling hills and a biggish beer garden.

Nice "old style" country pub. Great views over the valley from eating area. Decent beers and ciders on draft, staff friendly and welcoming. We both had the steaks, very nice

Absolutely lovely food ,great service and staff ,highly recommended, excellent food nice real local food, the sausage basket meal was exceptionally good value for money

We had a Sunday roast and it was so disappointing. The meat was really dry, the roast potatoes were rock hard and tasted old, and the veg was bland. The Yorkshire pudding was fine. I did mention that the roast potatoes were uneditable but the waitress just said "oh are they" and took the plates away. Such a shame, the reviews from other people were so good, maybe they had something different to eat.

What a fabulous friendly welcoming pub. Loved it 😍

Worth the walk uphill. Would like to see some chairs as well as picnic tables

A devil to get to, but once there worth the visit. A lovely pint and friendly locals

Awesome people, awesome food, super friendly to everyone who walks through the door 😃😃😃

My husband and I visited the pub with our baby today following a walk at the reservoir. It was a relatively quiet day and we were able to have a table in the window over looking the beautiful view. The service was really friendly and we had some great food. Will definitely visit again and recommend to others.

This dog friendly pub serves a fantastic Sunday lunch. choice of roast meat plenty of seasonal vegetables roasties and accompanying sauces. Nice to have the cauliflower cheese in a separate dish. Staff are polite and friendly without being intrusive. Great views from the restaurant .

Nice country pub 🍻 with a amazing view .

Good steak's and excellent steak and kidney pudding 😊

Fantastic burger, great service a little hidden gem!

Amazing pasta dish and great friendly service.

Local pub went in for a beer cheesey chips and to watch the rugby.Really good welcome and service would highly recommend.

Small friendly 'local pub with stunning views over the Teign Valley at the back.

This pub is a great find despite being slightly off the beaten track. It is well-used by the village, walkers and cyclists alike who all get a warm and friendly welcome. There is a restaurant and the beer is very well kept. There is also a car par k nearby - as well as a camp site. Make sure you check out the views from the pub - outstanding!

Welcoming friendly village pub. Was a short walk from a nearby campsite so visited a couple of times. Good selections of beers, and enjoyed a really good Sunday roast at what I thought was a really decent price. Lovely views over Dartmoor from the rear of the pub.

Superb Sunday lunch as always. Mixed beef and pork, large or regular portions both excellent value and quality 👌

We came here as a family of 5 for food and drinks on our break to Newton Abbot. We entered and were taken to our table, asked if we wanted drinks and ordered food quite quickly. The drinks came out and food came out, the food was lovely, good portions, we all enjoyed it up to this point…. However once our food came out it was then as though we were invisible, nobody asked if everything was ok with our meals, if we wanted another drink. We sat there for half an hour with empty plates and empty glasses. Having decided that this was enough we all got up to leave and pay at the bar. We would’ve had desserts if we’d been offered, overall experience brought down by the poor overall service.

Lovely pub will go back to eat staff really lovely keep up the good work 👏

We spent a couple of evenings at The Palk Arms. Good mix of friendly locals and visitors, plus the staff were excellent. Three good local beers available and they were all in perfect condition. We ate on the second night and it was hearty, well-priced pub food. A real gem this pub, I’d encourage anyone to go off the beaten track to enjoy it! Pete.

Proper country pub. Good beer, food and friendly welcome. Parking can be tricky, but there is a village car park just up the hill.

Excellent Sunday lunch, a great selection of vegetables, roasts etc well presented.

We were staying in the village and we had two wonderful evening meals and enjoyed a good quiz night .The pork and apple cider pie was so good and the brownie was delicious .We were made to feel at home .Super dog friendly

Love this village pub. We came down from London to see our friend who has moved opposite recently and a good decent pub is a rare thing to us! We had a lovely meal and the portions were huge ! We rolled out of there very satisfied as it is great value for money! Very friendly staff.

Booked for Sunday lunch whilst staying at Finlake. We’ve been coming to the area for years and never been here before. The roasts were amazing, great atmosphere and a friendly welcome. We’ll most definitely be coming again and recommending to friends!

Sorry but Dreadful ! . Scruffy restaurant . We both had scampi and chips as not much choice . Came with about 10 dried up peas and soggy black out of date salad leaves . Very over priced

Best Sunday roast I’ve ever had! Proper Devonshire Sunday roast with all the trimmings 10/10 All the staff where so accommodating

One of our locals when we are in the area. Nice and warm pub with lots of games behind the bar to play with. Free playing jukebox with a good selection of tracks, pool table and a huge TV playing Sky Sports. Reasonable priced drinks.

Super good local with great selection of beers and decent pasties. We didn't eat but the main courses that came out looked wholesome and very generous in portion size. Terrific views out of the back too.

Stayed near the pub and visited several times. Great country pub, warm welcome from staff and customers for us and the dog. Free house with great local ales and ciders, really good food and very reasonable prices. Quiz night on Weds was great fun. We'll be back!

The staff were super friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. The food was amazing and I can't recommend enough

A decent pub with quite good food and drinks. The selection of beers/ciders wasn’t great, however. Overall a good place to have food/drinks if you are around the town but not worth a long drive to this place.

Friendly service fantastic food and beautiful scenery. Really lovely pub. Will visit again on our next visit to Hennock

Me and my family visited this lovely pup during our time camping at hennocks hideaway camp site. It's a 2 mins walk from there. Cons are that it is only open from 5pm and was disappointed it wasn't open at lunch times during the week. We had an evening meal here, very enjoyable but slightly pricey. They have a lovely pun garden. The view from the restaurant is beautiful!

Pleasant pub. Enjoyed a cider or two whilst playing dominoes.🙂

Great local pub with lovely food and a lovely welcome would definitely recommend

Great food and excellent selection of beers! Lovely setting in the garden with brilliant views!!

Really nice pub super service,and amazing views. You should go !

Great atmosphere and great service 🤩

Lovely Pub, great Views, good Food.

Lovely little pub, fantastic service and great food!

Lovely friendly staff, very hospitable and accommodating, food was fresh . Lovely little local pub. Took mother in law for her birthday and received a lovely dessert . The chocolate cake was amazing . The man who served us was very nice

A very friendly pub, conscious staff, good pub menu with plentiful servings and great service. I recommend.

This is our local and we couldn’t love it more, today was the first chance we managed to get childcare and go for an evening meal as a couple since moving to the area. Absolutely amazing food and brilliant real ale. I couldn’t recommend the pub more highly

Wonderful, reasonable priced, a good welcome. Lovely quiet beer garden.

This is our local so I’m probably a bit biased but anyway…….. We were delighted when Mike, the landlord, told us that he had a new chef arriving and last night decided to give it a go. The menu is exactly what you’d expect to find with something for everyone, plus a couple of specials. We opted for the whitebait and garlic mushrooms to start…… clear plates all round. Mains were the Palk burger with all the trimmings and the fish & shrimp curry special. The burger was as good as remembered and the ‘special’ was indeed special for all the right reasons. All this, a roaring log fire and glorious real ale…… even if it wasn’t our local, we’d be back!

A proper, unpretentious locals' village pub. So pleased for them that they have secured a chef and fully booked today. Cosy bar with log burner leading to a back room with log burner and pool table with dining area beyond. Wonderful countryside views and rear garden. Very good Sunday roast with lashings of veg and gravy. Amazingly good value. Doggy friendly. Very pleasant landlord and crew. Steep stairs to loos but otherwise easily accessible round the side of the pub. In the Good Beer Guide. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Good local pub with open fire. No food at the moment but they plan to start in March.

Very buzzing pub on darts and book club night

Good traditional pub in Dartmoor

Visited Hennock last weekend for a trip away with my partner and pooch. We stayod on a farm up the road and this was our local. Visited all three nights we were there and met lots of very friendly people. We even managed to win on the meat bingo.

The Palk is a great little pub. Mike and Dan will always make you welcome. Good beer, great views!

We were camping at Hennock Hideaways and ate at the Palk Arms on Tuesday evening. It was an excellent meal. I had the ham, eggs, chips and peas which was truly amazing - extremely generous portions with thick sliced ham off the bone. In all, it was a lovely evening in a very pleasant village pub (with top quality beer too) and the owners were very welcoming, attentive and friendly. It's also a 2 minute walk from the campsite - we will be back! Thank you.

Warm welcome, good food, very reasonable, super views and good ale.

Food 5 stars, service 5 stars.. location incredible

Top notch Sunday roast with lovely pint of gundog

Anniversary meal and drinks later with friends. Service was very good, meal was excellent. No complaints , really great evening out.

Yum! The Portuguese sardines were absolutely delicious - done to perfection. The fish, chips and mushy peas were amazing. And as for Angie's brownie, well......😋 Added bonus was to be there on quiz night which was great fun. Warm welcome from the team and the locals. Very relaxed, enjoyable evening.

The food is amazing 💕 we live in the village so ideal walking distance for us. Back again tomorrow 😍Highly recommend this beautiful little haven

Excellent home cooked food, friendly staff and good selection of drinks.

I don’t usually do reviews but this had to be done. Visited the Palk last night and had the most amazing meal in a very long time. Staff were amazing and many thanks to Gus the chef for making the most amazing fish dish for...

Lovely pub lunch yesterday thanks to Mike and his staff, we will be back.

We wandered to the park arms for dinner whilst staying at Stickwick Manor. The poor landlord was a tad stressed as none of his staff had turned up and we were a group of 12. However, what we saw was the locals and the tourists...

This review has taken me a week to get around to writing. I have been trying to think of something inspirational but alas, these meager scribblings will have to suffice. I, along with friends, family and my dog Hovis, have been regular summer visitors to...

Four of us had a really delightful Sunday lunch here on 18/7. Generous portions of well cooked, really tasty food. Really friendly and welcoming landlord and staff. Now on our list of places for a regular visit for Sunday lunch

Well I have lived locally all my life and have never been here until last night, food was amazing best I've had in a long time! Brilliant service we will definitely be back!

Excellent food and more imaginative than most. Portuguese chef has transformed the menu. Highly recommended.

Nice and cozy place and above all great food. It is amazing to see how the people from the village love Gus the chef and specially his food. And yes, food is amazing. 5 stars. To be back soon.

Very cozy place with amazing food. Dishes from Chef Gus are amazing. To come back soon.

Excellent food, relaxed friendly but efficient service. Great atmosphere and very welcoming. Thank you

A lovely Devon pub with incredible panoramic views. We visited twice during our stay and loved both trips. A fantastic menu with regularly changing specials. They had a great selection of drinks and we loved that the locals selected the house wines. Super friendly staff,...

After a scarey drive to the pub thanks to sat nav friendly local told me a better way back. Food was amazing staff friendly and we all had an amazing evening

Been to this pub many times and always received a warm and pleasant welcome from both the staff and the locals. This time, however, there was a new chef. I now am obliged to add that the Portuguese chef is fantastic as well. The 'Palk...

Amazing lunch at the Palk arms today. The peri peri chicken, chicken curry, steak and ale pie and the whitebait were all superb as was the sticky toffee pudding and clotted cream. Service with a smile, great cider and ale in a magnificent, old traditional pub off the beaten track.

What a fabulous, traditional Devon pub! The pub food was superb English fare, with a few Portuguese dishes thrown in (including a great peri-peri chicken), the welcome warm, the view stunning as well as great beer and cider. Well worth the journey down some small,...

Yet again another couple of lovely visits. Service and staff great as always. Food very good value for money and vey tasty. Will certainly be back. Time and time again.

Tucked away on the edge of Darrtmoor this is a real English pub dating back many centuries, fvrequented by friendly locals and visitors alike. Food is available too. Interesting history or both the pub and the locale (there's an information board across the road!). Call...

We went to this pub on our trip to the West Country, and felt welcome: friendly staff, amazing food, and a fire pit, what else do you need? We had a massive fish pie, and a veggie curry, both worth trying!

Sat at the back of the restaurant which left us with a fantastic view over the rolling hills Excellent welcome from staff and they have Hazy Dazy cider on tap - my favourite! Food menu was simple but when the food arrived it was tasty...

Proper Devon pub! Good beer, great staff and a cracking atmosphere.

Must confess we chose the Palk Arms because it serves her favourite Hazy Dazy! We all received a great welcome ( labrador puppy included) when we went 17 May. Sadly we were too early for the new menu but we enjoyed our chilli and burgers...

Lovely village pub and close to the A38 is a bonus. Good range of pub food and a range of local beer make it a good place to visit on a day out to the country.

So yes I'm a local and yes I love The Palk Arms under Mike and Sadie Rowland. However, during lockdown things did not stand still! A new kitchen, a new business partner - the lovely Dan Sennit, a refurb inside and out, and NEW PORTUGUESE CHEF- Guss, all bring a freshness and excitement to wonderful pubs drinking and dining experience.The menu has many of the traditional dishes you would expect on a pub menu - steak and ale pie, fish & chips, burgers & steaks, all beautifully cooked and presented. However, Guss has also included some of his own Portuguese favourites, Peri peri chicken, meat croquettes, whitebait and Portuguese steak with beer sauce, again all cooked with mouth watering finesse.We had lunch this week. My veggie husband had creamed garlic mushrooms and a vegetable curry, both delicious with good quality ingredients. I opted for calamari, which was the best ever baby squid not those bland rings that you so often get. With scampi as a main, I couldn't face desert....this time.I'm told the menu will evolve, that this is just the start and I can't wait to see what appears. The food is all cooked fresh to order so relax and enjoy the priceless views of the Teign Valley while you enjoy the ales, ciders or whatever might be your tipple, Its a beautiful place to be.

Lovely little pub, always come here when we camp. Dog and children friendly. Staff are lovely, great beer garden out the back with 2 massive rabbits, my son loves feeding them. See you at the weekend!!!

You are welcomed by the most friendly staff, who couldn’t do more to help you! Food and drink was great and brought out in a timely manner! Would highly recommend the pizza and loaded fires along with the Hazy cider! 🤪

We had a fabulous Sunday Lunch at the Palk Arms yesterday! Food was delicious and the chocolate brownie was to die for!!! The beer was lush too! The garden was well set up with plenty of space between tables, with the best views! Highly recommended

Love the Palk, the garden is open, with the most amazing views, and they are welcoming to everyone from first timers to every nighters. The beer selection is local, and the food is great. What more could you ask for?

We went to the Palk Arms on the first evening it could open after lockdown. There's a new menu; we were a ravenously hungry party of 6 and chose burgers and pizzas. The pizzas were wonderful and home made. The burgers were absolutely delicious. This is a great pub, run by the owners with well-earned pride - very welcoming, with an energetic and cheerful team who made sure everyone had a great evening.

This is a very warm and friendly gem of a place with great food and great staff. We highly recommend

Lovely Staff in here, if you are in the area, definitely drop a visit. Opening times are a bit funny....

The perfect example of a friendly local Devon pub. Can't wait unti they are able to do food again.

Good selection of drinks and good food .. it has a wood burner in the main bar area .. very cosy ..

What's not to love and the view down the valley is awesome

Super friendly pub on Dartmoor. Beer garden in the summer, wood burners in the winter. Great choice of draft beer and cider. Stunning views over the Teign valley.

We were camping at Hannock Hideaways just up the road from this place in August just as the rain had hit - it was empty apart from a few drinkers, which is a shame as the view from the back of the pub looking across the valley was fab. We had 4 pints and 2 scampi and chips for £30 and the dog seemed happy to be out of the wet tent so not bad.
