I can't comment on the rooms there as me and the wife were only there for dinner. But if the rooms are anything like food, then you'll have a really good stay as the food and service were top-tier and set the standers high. This was our first meal out. And I can now say it was the best one and the only one that got a tip.

Iv lived in Devon nearly 20 years and iv been to quite a few restaurants in my time but even tho I would reconend quite a few but that's before the pig and whistle wow is not enough for this place the friendliness the service is second to none the drinks collection is superb plenty to choose from but then the food it's on another level I used to be a chef many years ago working in London and home counties. I had really nice food in Devon but this is something special I can't big this place up enough and we can't wait to go back need to try more of there dishes just superb out of this world

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for a great Sunday Roast. Service was impeccable from all members of staff and the food was excellent. Generous portions and a good selection of beers, ciders and wines. Dog friendly, plenty of parking and a proper menu for kids (and even dogs!)

Although we live locally, this was the first time we had tried out the Pig and Whistle located just outside Totnes. We had a lovely Sunday lunch, we were a group of 6, 5 adults 1 child. We all agreed that the Sunday roast dinner was lovely, service was good and we had a nice time. We had the beef and lamb, roasts and yorkshire pudding were very nice. However we were initially a little disappointed with the very small bowl of vegetables brought to us , only really enough for two or three, certainly not five adults! But on requesting more vegetables , another bowl was brought swiftly. (Although we had to ask twice for the child's veg! But it was a very generous portion! ) It was a shame the vegetables were so sparse, and it was rather uncomfortable having to ask, as other wise it was very good.

Service was great, sadly the food didn't quite match. I asked for a med/rare steak and it came well done, for a £30 dish it was very disappointing. Also across all of our plates we had chips, these were slightly under, making them a little hard to eat. I ordered belly pork bites for a starter, and this dish was over done. Based on my first experience I can't say I would return which is a shame as it does have some great reviews.

Can't comment on the food as never actually got to have a meal. Booked a table for Sunday lunch. After waiting 45 mins just for menus and drinks orders to be taken, then waited another 30 mins and still no food order had been taken. Gave up and left they used our deposit to pay for the drinks didnt bother asking for the change as could see that would cause another wait. The table next to us had waited well over an hour after they ordered food and before that had been there an hour. I appreciate that they may of been understaffed however transparency to their customers on what actual wait times will be would of been helpful as we wasted over an hour with no food order taken just isn't good enough.

Very poor service food only just warm took over 1.5 hours to take the food order, still delivered incorrect meals, meats missing from meals, unable to take part card and part cash to complicated for there tiny brains to work out, on top of all of that the bar man was extremely rude, It’s a shame he couldn’t have put as much energy into the service as he did in trying to defend the very poor service. I won’t be returning any time soon.

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and were seated at the back of the restaurant, where the tables felt quite packed together. We ordered the carvery baguette, but unfortunately, the beef was tough and fatty, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the roast potatoes on the side were hot and tasty. The restaurant was busy, which we understand, but it was a shame that no one checked in to see how our food was. Based on this experience, we won’t be returning.

We have been going to the Pig & Whistle for years and have always enjoyed the food, So i took my Husband for a Valentines day lunch, I had a starter from the Valentines Menu my choice was the Hickory smoked bbq pork belly, and it was lovely, My Husband and i both had the Main meal of Fillet pork tenderloin that came with roast potato's Black pudding croquette butter kale with Cider and wholegrain sauce. The meal came and the Waitress said that the side dish of Veg is on it's way ,So we both waited , 5 minutes went past so i asked the Waitress are our Vegetables coming , And her reply was sorry but it doesn't come with a side of Veg , So we started our meal a little disgruntled only to find we had no black pudding croquettes ., I'm sure this was just a mistake when serving on the Chefs side.

We visited The Pig and Whistle with friends yesterday evening, Saturday 1 Feb, and had a great experience. The food and service were both excellent. We chose from the Specials menu -two of us had the Lamb Rump, one had the Duck and another had the chicken. All the food was excellent with plenty of fresh vegetables also provided. The two front of house staff members on duty were really pleasant, welcoming and efficient. Would thoroughly recommend this pub to all- we live within close proximity to the pub and probably visit about 3 times per year and have always had good experiences.

Popped in for lunch today with my partner and the dog. We received a warm welcome and chose our lunch from the specials menu. What can we say but wow! The food was amazing for £10 each.

My friend and I both opted for the £10 small plate lunch, with a starter at an additional £3.95. The whitebait starter was acceptable, though clearly frozen and reheated, not freshly cooked. The roast main course portion size was fine for a small plate lunch costing £10, but that was all that was fine. Everything on the plate appeared to have been pre-cooked and heated in the microwave. The slices of reheated lamb were tasteless; there was what I assume was supposed to be a Yorkshire pudding which was flat and soggy; if the roast potatoes had ever been crisp it was a long time ago; there was a stuffing ball that was dry and tasteless. The accompanying portion of carrots, broccoli and a mush that might have been swede were poorly cooked and uninspiring. The real problem though was the service. We arrived about 15 minutes before lunch service was due to begin, ordered a coffee which was served promptly and with a smile by a waitress who promised us menus shortly. From that point on things took a downturn. Over the next half hour three other tables were occupied, all received menus, we continued to wait. When the waiter took the order of the last table to arrive I asked if we could have menus. He clearly wasn't happy to be asked but did supply them. We again had to wait an unreasonable length of time, and then ask for our order to be taken. The attitude of the waiter throughout the was sullen verging on rude. I would strongly recommend that anyone wanting a pleasant lunch find somewhere else to go.

Well you know this is coming . No central heating on in main bar and the room we were seated in .log burner was on in main bar area which was not enough to heat the room to the right which we were seated in and was very cold . Asked if the heating could be put on and told they did not have access to it and did not know how to turn it on. Plus i did see the thermostat was on ZERO, so they moved us a couple of tables away were a stand alone electric fire could be plugged in which is not only dangerous but illegal regarding health and safety issues. I did bring all this to the attention of the waitress who was well aware of the heating issues . The tables were sticky and the carpet in the room we sat in is filthy and need cleaning and the windows need cleaning . The manager would not come out as he was cooking and i can only say the food we had was average and after a long wait 10%was deduced from our bill to get rid of us. Most people were sitting with coats or jackets on which is not acceptable when you are charging good prices and expect customers to be cold when eating. Im sure your response will be interesting !! Photos taken of the electric fire and carpets .

Another great find on holiday. Warm welcome and quickly seated. Drinks arrived quickly and have been waited in hand and foot. Food: 10/10 and some serious freshly cooked food. Calamari - amazing Scallops - amazing Gammon, eggs, baked pineapple - best Iv ever had (thank you to the barman/weighter) who even went to find out how thick the gammon would be! Pork, pots, crackling - just out of this world Deserts - couldn’t fit it in All staff were amazing and we even popped back for a drink the next day to soak up this great atmosphere. 10/10 for sure and deserves to be on Michelins star or at least on the Michelin star guide.

Had a lovely meal here this lunchtime, HOWEVER the management here are awfully rude to their staff. The poor young girl behind the bar was being spoken down to by her boss, which clearly made her feel very uncomfortable. Not only this, the whole of the restaurant were watching this making everyone feel very uncomfortable! Nice place to eat don't get me wrong, but lessons in basic staff management and communication need to be learnt very quickly. The staff all seem to be changing very quickly, and maybe this is the reason why? I would love to hear the thoughts of The Pig and Whistle on this?

Visited here for Sunday Lunch, good quality food let down by the meanest portion of vegetables I have seen for a table of 4 - it would have just been OK for two, and even then less than generous; we asked for another potion but that only gave each of us two slices of carrot! Not good value at £16-17 pound for a main course.

They sure know how to do Sunday lunch here ! This traditional olde worlde country pub has a warm cosy atmosphere, and the staff are equally warm and friendly. Our starters of goats cheese, beetroot and salad with balsamic dressing were beautifully presented and highly delicious. We each ordered the turkey roast, which helpfully comes in two sizes - a great idea ! I must say, despite ordering the “small” size, our meals arrived in mighty generous portions, which we both struggled to finish… but it was so good, finish we did! (Heaven knows how big the large portions are !) The meals came with mountains of side vegetables and lashings of gravy. It was all beautifully cooked and seasoned. If you ever have the chance to visit this delightful pub - go ! We shall be back as soon as we can visit the area again.

We visited as we were staying in the local area. We have a nearly 2 year old so going out for dinner isn’t something we do much but as we were on holiday we wanted to try and go out together. And we were so glad we did! We didn’t book but we had a very warm welcome and were shown to a table straight away. The food was absolutely delicious, great portion sizes and a varied Little Piglets menu for our little piglet. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We also met the chef at the end who was very kind to our daughter. Such a lovely little pub, we came home and wrote this review straight away as we are keen to support local businesses and give them the shout out they deserve! We will definitely be back one day, thanks so much :)

Proper pub, well maintained, cosy yet warm and inviting atmosphere. Service friendly and prompt. Food was absolutely delicious. I had steak and kidney pie and chips. My wife had roast pork and mash potato. Proper hearty filling meal at a very reasonable price. Any commuters going to or from Totnes, and everyone else, I'd totally recommend this lovely traditional put. Definitely coming back again!

We visited the Pig & Whistle on the last evening of our Devon tour. We wished we'd gone sooner so we could go again! The aesthetic is cosy and rustic. We were welcomed by the very friendly staff who laid a table for the three of us plus 2 dogs - including complimentary dog biscuits! My husband had Prawn and smoked salmon cocktail, which was packed with fish with a beautiful tangy cocktail sauce. He ordered the Whistler chicken, which was a beautiful dish with a side of steaming hot veg and dauphinoise potatoes. I had the mushrooms with bacon lardons, which was beautiful. This was followed by the blackened cajun chicken, served with salad leaves, homemade coleslaw and chips. It was a really tasty dish and the best chips I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and nicely seasoned. They were so much better then the hard, dry chips, or triple cooked over done chips a lot of pubs do. My daughter had tempura prawns she said were beautifully light and tasted great. She had the steak and ale pie to follow and said the flavour was rich and comforting. She also loved her chips. The service was quick and helpful, I wish this was our local gastro pub! Please open one in Scotland :-).

Such a shame because the Sunday roast was really nice but massively let down with the service and rude staff. When the roast came out we asked if we could have some more vegetables as we were only given 1 piece of broccoli each and 2 little chopped up carrot pieces and 2 spoonfuls of cauliflower cheese between 4 of us which we were told by a very rude member of staff that this was enough for 4 people. We waited 20 minutes for more vegetables to come out and by that time our food was cold. When our food came out my partner and brother ordered a beer each to enjoy with there meal which never turned up. We were never asked how our food was and then it took over 20 minutes for the bill to come.

Located on a busy main road, we ate here in early July. After making a table booking, we arrived to be told rather abruptly that we were late...not exactly busy so wasn't as if our table could have been taken. The staff then had an issue seating us due to the fact we had our dog with us - despite being advertised as a dog friendly establishment. Food was OK - nothing special, but staff not exactly welcoming and won't be returning due to this.

The service from Manager Deborah was exceptional, she is a huge asset to the team and ensures each diners experience is the best quality it could be. The atmosphere was relaxed and exactly the way a meal out should be. The food came within reasonable time for the quality and business of the restaurant.

The only downside is it's on a main road which can get busy at times and a bit noisy if you're outside. Don't let that put you off, that's just me. A great place to meet, eat and drink, thanks.

The staff were aggressive, disorganised and unpleasant. We waited for more than an hour for food, without any apology or communication, even when we sought information about it.

It was Father’s Day and the place was full to the brim. We had a somewhat ‘hemmed in’ table in the corner next to a party of 12. Which was a bit of a struggle, 2 of us had to move to get 1 out, the food arrived after an hour and a half wait and by this point we’re all getting pretty hangry! However … considering this was probably one of the busiest days of year, when the food finally did come out, I’d like to say it was very good, we all had a roast (they offer a choice of either large or small) Pork Turkey Lamb or Beef or vegetarian, the beef was the best I’ve had in years, the Pork was pretty good too. The veg was okay, they forgot the leek n cheese sauce but brought it when we reminded them and I’m glad they did cause that was delicious. Due to the lateness of our food, they were very happy to consider a discount at the end in way of an apology. I don’t very often write reviews but I am today because what started as a bad experience was turned into a decent meal out and I wanted to say thank you for letting us leave with a feeling of content!! The staff all worked very hard and I’m pretty sure that they’ll all be exhausted after this busy day. 😌. We will go back and I will recommend because I’d like to try more of their menu and delicious food for sure, just next time when it’s less busy. Ps the Garlic mushroom starter was superb

Staff friendly and very welcoming. We had Sunday Roast. Highly recommended. Travelled from Plymouth and was worth it.

Decent old pub located on the Totnes to Newton Abbot road. Reasonable amount of parking spaces. Really friendly, smiley staff who weren't at all intrusive during our time spent eating. My food portions didn't look huge when served, but after eating a starter and a main I didn't have room for a dessert. That said, my partner's Ploughman's was massive and I 'had to help her out with it'. Nice varied menu and interesting specials board. I wouldn't say the food quite justified a five star rating, but if it was available I'd have scored it as a four point five.

£10.90 for a glass of pretty ordinary red wine!!! are they just having a laugh or is it plain greed? Had not dined there for some time: the food was average, somewhat overpriced but the staff were friendly - we certainly will not be returning to this roadside pub.

Excellent small pub with lovely food. We understand the pub is currently under change of owner/management. We hope the chef stays as the food was excellent and the staff very helpful and attentive. Dog friendly too.
