Great atmosphere and with a traditional pub feeling. Many photos on show and in albums of locals and the railway. Out of hours for food but will be back to savour.

The railway is a unique Devon country pub still with the heritage of the railway Inn it came from. Great food, beer and banter. No dogs unless outside as bar is very small

Friendly landlord who is keen to discuss the history of the pub, if you ask him about it. Lots of interesting photos. Great food & a fantastic range of cask ales. They only accept cash though, so please check before purchasing anything.

Great welcome friendly landlord and staff. Food was fabulous and good value. Super cask ale. One point to note when we were there (May 2023) it was cash only - no cards, so check if likely to be a problem.

A hidden gem and regular Good Beer Guide enrty. Don't expect finery as this pub is located adjacent to a working farm and used by farm workers and locals alike. Bert, the landlord, is a welcoming local with a broad accent. If you can't understand him there is a list of 'Bertisms' on the wall to help you! A must visit - if you can find it!

Couldnt write a review because we didnt even get to the bar before being asked to leave because we had dogs. What kind of Devon pub doesnt allow dogs? They do allow screaming kids be warned. Shame really because it looked like a nice pub wish that they had stated on their website.NO DOGS would have saved us a long drive

Never would I have expected to find a place like this in Dartmoor. Folklore is an incredible, unique Japanese fusion cafe/restaurant in Chagford, and we were so pleased to have found this place on Saturday. We had a refreshingly different choice for brunch, opting for a ramen, delicious sticky vegetable noodle dish, and gyoza to share. Service and coffee was bloody excellent too, and we loved the classic English country home interior. This place is one of a kind!

Came here back in May this year and had a fantastic lunch with a warm welcome and excellent service so decided to return for another birthday celebration as we were so impressed before. Regretfully this time round it was no where near the same. As we were a big group (8 of us) we had to pre-order the food - fair enough. On arrival there wasn't great welcome and it then took about 15 minutes before coming to take our drinks order. When serving our drinks and opening the wine, the poor waiter was distracted by another customer and didn't follow though in continuing to open the bottle (which the bottle opener was half way through) so we had to finish that. Then, the food was another half an hour or so after that meaning we had been there for about 45 minutes already - bearing mind this was pre-ordered and you are limited on how long you can have the table for. When the food arrived, it was absolutely embarrassing - the portion sizes were like that of a snack. This wasn't tapas, it was an insult. The sourdough bread is £5.10 per portion and all it is is literally 4/5 slices of very small baguette bread. The so called "small-plates" were indeed VERY small. Some dishes lacked seasoning and were also bland - different or new chef perhaps? So be very cautious when ordering your food - our bill was £326.00 and we left hungry and very disappointed. Before in May we were stuffed. I have also read other people's reviews saying similar things so please do take note. It's clear the staff are either new or need training - by all means they were not rude at all, but inexperienced. We did leave them a tip out of courtesy however and didn't want to cause a fuss and complain on the day. Sadly we will not be returning, which is a real shame. Wish they had kept the same flair as before.
