The Tally Ho in West Devon

Fabulous roast, great for a relaxed lunch with family and friends. We were really well looked after by the lovely Tally team.

Great Sunday roast, good beer With a good atmosphere. Dog friendly and pleasant staff. Food served quickly. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly

A hidden gem. The service is warm, welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The bar is fully stocked with amazing local ales, craft beers and ciders. Similarly, the menu offers a thoughtfully curated selection well-considered, ethically sourced and tasty dishes to suit all tastes and dietary requirements. Although the new landlords have only been operating here since July, the pub is already miles ahead of its nearby competitor (The George Inn) and it seems there are more exciting changes in store for the Tally Ho in the coming months. Throughout warmer seasons, they have a fantastic wood-fired pizza kitchen in the rear garden too.

We met friends for a steak dinner. Absolutely spot on. All 4 of us got exactly what we ordered. Good value too. The drinks menu is also top class, with a great selection of Ales in cask and keg. The variety of quality ciders and lagers is good too.

Amazing value breakfast while having a business meeting and was asked if I wanted ice in the tap water. Coffee came included too.

When our original hotel cancelled on us, we ended up in Hatherleigh for the night. Not wanting to eat in a large place, the Tally Ho was just up the hill so off we went. From opening the door to a cheery 'Hello!' to walking out later the whole experience was fantastic. This is an old pub, full of wood, 2 massive fire places, a bar to sit at and talk BS (they even have a plaque) and enjoy good beer and food. We were lucky to be there on a Wednesday - so 10 quid for a pint and a pie. What a deal! We were offered our choice of sides by the chef - who is passionate about her food - so went for new potatoes and roasties each. Both were served with a good portion of peas. The pies were great - huge pastry top, oh so tender meat, tasty gravy and just right. For a couple of Aussies who wanted to experience England, we just did. We'd be back the next night if we were staying longer but sadly were were off the next day. From what we gather, the pub was getting a new owner in mid-June 2024 so maybe it will get even better. Certainly it seems the menu will be given a change. If you are in the area and want some history I recommend it. 10/10 for me.

Fantastic old pub with a great atmosphere and warming fire, Current chef K is amazing and very accommodating, had a fantastic meal tonight and would highly recommend. Only down side is that there is no Lamb Shank on the menu, bring the IN seasonal cut at the moment and a sheep farming area it is a must for any local pub. Never the less a fantastic meal, top beer and friendly staff.

Op zondagmiddag onze eerste ervaring met een Britse Sunday Roast. Heerlijk gegeten aan een heel voordelige prijs. Topervaring!!!

A wonderful pub, with wonderful food, brilliant service, fabulous atmosphere and lovely staff. Everything about our visits to The Tally Ho has been excellent. To quote my family the "Tally Ho Burger is the best they've ever had!" When we are back in the area we will definitely be visiting again.

Exemplary meal served by friendly staff. During the “Eat out to Help out” period of lockdown, we visited The Tally Ho three times and each time was a real pleasure! The cuisine was beautifully cooked and delicious. Highly recommended.

After seeing 5* reviews, went there for a birthday meal. There was constant swearing from other people. It was awful, definitely would not recommend food either. Biggest waste of £50

In the centre of an out of the way town the Tally Ho is well worth the effort of making a detour. A real local pub offering a friendly welcome, a wide selection of drink -the best beer being their own brewed in their own brewery - how good is that. The food is to die for - one of the best steaks I have had and the sticky toffee pud is digustingly wonderful. Go on go there enjoy and forget all that sanctimonious rubbish about dieting.

Excellent service, attentive staff and good hot food.A wide range of vegetables and extra gravy. Unbeatable!

This lively market town pub has a great atmosphere serving good quality food with excellent portions and reasonable prices. The on site brewery produces really good beer

Great food, large Devon portions, lovely staff. Had a lovely meal with the family. Also could take leftovers home

Friendly little pub. Great selection of beers, including it's own. Nice ambiance. The Open Mike nights are excellent

Nice spot to grab a drink if you enjoy live music and a bit of a buzz on a Saturday night (it seems the whole village comes out!)

I love this Inn. The B&B is a reasonable price and the atmosphere is great. The landlord and landlady are very sociable people. The food is just wonderful and I have eaten here often. Would recommend

Great little pub, friendly staff, full of ambience. Great little suntrap of a beer garden. Micro brewery attached with local ale served. Excellent menu with lots of variety and a specials board. Enjoyed our meal very much and all very reasonably priced.

Enjoyed a super meal here when we stayed with friends overnight in Hatherleigh cycling our Coast to Coast.

Stayed for one night whilst cycling the Coast to Coast. Really friendly pub, staff are lovely and the rooms were clean, comfortable and well stocked. A really great find and would happily stay again. Food was lovely too

A good basic village pub with good food, good beer and friendly staff. Lovely village for a walk around.

What a fun and lovely pub dating back to the 16 th century. What can I say. The staff are all locals as are the customers, everyone is so friendly and on Friday nights it seems like half the town comes in to eat and have drinks. They have a early bird menu that is wonderful and inexpensive which the locals take advantage of. They brew their own beer which you can purchase though I prefer Guinness on draft. It’s a must if you go to the moors to visit.

We popped in for lunch on a Monday lunchtime. Pub full of character and history. Friendly bar staff and a really nice menu available. Food was hot, delicious and presented first class. Good reasonable prices too. Pot of tea served on a tray, lovely these days to see that, a cute miniature milk bottle adding to the touch. Thankyou we will come back for lunch again.

Good beer good food well worth visiting for a quiet drink or with a crowd for a meal. Highly recommended this pin.

Our second visit to this lovely pub...very welcoming and the same young lady behind the bar even remembered what I was drinking from our first visit a few weeks earlier ...warm log burner and the food is very good indeed,plenty of home made and local choice

We had a lovely hot meal here a few weeks ago,with friends. staff were very friendly and we were served very quickly. I am sure we will be going there again when we are in the area.

Visited the town recently when staying with a friend. The Tally Ho was warm and inviting and served excellent food !

We have been here several times over the years, and we always get a friendly welcome. The beer is excellent (micro brewery in the pub) and the food is very good, with a nice selection of varied meals. I had a great curry in the evening!

The Tally Ho is a brilliant local put - welcoming and informal with excellent food and a wonderful selection of beers and spirits - particularly the pineapple and ginger gin - lovely!

Good hospitality and a fusion of foods. Highly recommend Ady’s spicy curry with chilli mash on the side if you like it a bit fiery.

Hatherleigh village is well worth a look around don't be put off by the main road and sign to the abattoir. Not a fan of fast food and burgers... suppose the menu was a bit limited as why else would I end up picking the burger (I don't as a rule go for burgers...) BUT I will say that this is the second best burger I have had this year so highly recommend it (my cheffy son cooked me the best ever the other day)

We ate here one evening and the food was very good and reasonably priced. The pub was full of friendly youngsters giving the place a good feel.

Excellent food, great atmosphere. Kids are always welcome and the outdoor area is great. There’s always an event going on and the staff really make you feel welcome.

My partner and I have been to the Tally Ho on a number of occasions and have found the food to be of a good quality.

Not our first visit, though it has been a while, and this occasion was with friends for a lunch time meal. Mid-week, so not overly busy in this fairly traditional pub that still brews its own beer, which was on offer along with a couple of others from the 'bigger south-west boys'. Good selection of dishes available for lunch, and what particularly impressed us was the number of vegetarian options. The specials board was perhaps less of interest to vegetarians, or even pescatarians, as the fish had a sauce with bacon. That said, they were very accommodating and replaced the sauce with something more acceptable. Nice and warm interior with wood stove kept well going one end, service very good, and overall, fair value.

We ate here on Sunday night , only because we were staying at the George hotel and they only serve pizza Sunday evenings. We were pleasantly surprised, really good choice on the menu. All four of us had a good meal.

We have been coming here for years, as my Father did before me, so it must have had things going for it.

First time here but not the last. Delicious Sunday roast with tender meat, good choices. Plenty of veggies. Good variety. Very tasty and hot. Good value and hearty portions.

Lovely little village pub. Visiting area and walked in pub to be welcomed by a friendly face, Dave. He served my husband who was especially pleased with beer brewed on site. Our orders were taken and waitress informed us food will be a while, half an hour to be exact, we didn't mind and was glad we were told. Food arrived before half hour, piping hot and freshly cooked. Not microwaved. Between us we had spaghetti Bolognese, ham egg and chips, hunters chicken and steak peppercorn sauce. Food was delicious. We even got early bird deal even though it was Sunday. So smiles all round. We finished meal with pudding, chocolate brownie. And to make it even better kinder eggs served behind bar so had one of those for treat for daughter. A brilliant meal in a friendly local pub. Thank you for a good evening.

Friendly Staff, reasonable food, Rooms. Ive always been well looked after when visiting the Tally Ho. would thoroughly recommend it. Lots of beams and generally jolly good company.

Este pub varias veces a lo largo de los años.

Uno de los mejores almuerzos de domingo he!

This is a lovely, thriving pub with a really happy atmosphere. We popped in on a busy holiday weekend and were told to expect a long wait for food, but it came quickly in the end. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff were all excellent....

Domingo almuerzo fue genial como de costumbre. Muchas verduras, bien preparado y servido por un personal amable. Hay una buena selección de bebidas en el bar, incluyendo local.

Edificio antiguo, tradicional pub Devon. Buen ambiente, cervecería, precioso ale!

An excellent place to visit, friendly staff and great community knowledge. The food is excellent and there's a great choice, live entertainment most nights and weekends. Outside area for children as well.

Just been to the Tally Ho for a wonderful delicious meal with my partner. Food was delicious and served very speedily. But fresh and delicious. Extremely friendly helpful staff.Drinks and food reasonably priced. The pub in general and toilets very clean. Would recommend highly.

HIGHLY recommend this amazing B&B. Cosy rooms withwide variety menu and TJ cooks a breakfast for champions!Staff are all lovely; Kerry & Peter are brilliant. Spent 3 nights at the Tally Ho and the best B&B I've ever stayed in by far. (P.S ask for the mulled wine)

Great pub, good pub grub, reasonable drinks, friendly staff, and often hosts bands at the weekends. Very characterful British pub. My local, and I like going here for a drink or meal.

The Tally Ho is a genuine local pub. The quality of the food is good, the prices are very reasonable and quantities of most main dishes are large. The Sunday Roast is a veritable monster of a meal ! I like my food but I have to ask for the 'small' roast to fit it all in.The pub also brews its own excellent ale ... if you like the pale ale end of things, do at least sample the 'Ukulele Ale', its a very good ale.Staff are friendly and the locals are as nice a bunch of people as you are likely to meet in any pub. If you are looking for good food and beer at very reasonable prices in a genuinely local Devon pub, The Tally Ho is your place.

We arrived a lot later than planned (we were cycling the Tarka Trail and set off late and got lost!) and were greeted with a smile and a cold beer which was well received. Most of the staff were excellent and friendly, sadly not all, and we really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The room had character and this pub comes highly recommended.

We eat here frequently and the service, food and atmosphere is always top quality. Thank you team! We recommend to others and know that whenever we book we will have a good evening. Just a reliable local with a good menu and great service.

Eines der Beiden Restaurants. Kneipe, die auch von den Dorfbewohnern gut besucht wird. Leckeres Essen.

Not pretentious, good food, good beer brewed on-site and the regulars are a good bunch too. What more could you ask for?

The Tally Ho is a proper village pub. A small bar with lots of atmosphere and they have their own brewery at the back of the pub so if you want local ale in a local pub with lots of character and friendly staff then it's a good place to stop a while for the traditionalists.

The ride from Ilfracombe was 45 miles. The room was comfortable, staff were friendly, food was good and their own brewed beer was excellent!There was room in the barn for our tandem.Great breakfast!

Good food, good ale, interesting local people, lovely atmosphere, nice garden, friendly staff and landlord.

The Tally ho,public house and brewery at Hatherleigh,Devon, provided a lovely meal for five, in the bar of the pub, although they do have restaurant seating availible.The meal was a large serving with all the trimmings seperate vegetables,(which we enjoy ), served by lovely staff willing to help and advise,we would certainly reccommend this for Sunday lunch on ones own or with friends and family.

We were waiting to view a property so decided to have lunch. If successful in property search, this will definately be our local. Friendly staff, lovely food. Hatherleigh seems to have a real community feel.

Wir waren zweimal hier zum Abendessen, auf Empfehlung unserer Vermieterin. Das Pub ist immer gut besucht, Tischreservierung empfehlenswert. Es gibt eine Hausbrauerei. Die Küche liefert einfache Hausmannskost, wie man es in einem Pub erwartet. Es wird offenbar frisch zubereitet, die Wartezeiten können länger sein, aber es lohnt sich. Fisch und Chips und Burger waren von guter Qualität und sehr schmackhaft.

I have eaten here so many times and never had to complain about the service or standard of food. Believe me you will never leave this place with an empty stomach! Extremely friendly staff and locals. Good selection of beverages including their own brewed ale.Cost and welcoming with great grub.

Visited here several times for food and drinks, good and prompt service. The desserts offered are delicious especially the chocolate brownie and ice-cream. Good vegetarian selection too.

Great steak and nice welcoming pub, would recommend for food and drinks. Nice real ales also and log fires too so a nice cosy pub

Friendly pub frequented by locals that welcome everyone in for a drink. Good selection of home made food at reasonable prices. nice ales on tap.

went here after football this week great little pub great atmosphere friendly staff and great food and beverages.

Excellent food, good choice, reasonable prices.lovely atmosphere in old world type pub.Good meal deals, very helpful and friendly staff.

Met friends in this village and decided to eat here, not disappointed at all, great food, nice cosy fire, good beers and overall ambience was fantastic, loved it xx

Lovely home made food served by friendly local staff, just what you need from a country pub! Highly recommend the soup of the day- it's never been in a tin it a packet!

The Tally Ho is a traditional English pub from a bye-gone era, and a wonderfulo experience. It looks old and just the part, because it IS old and just the part. The genuine village pub in the middle of the village. Parking is touch tricky, because they did not have cars back then, but once you step inside...Great choice of beers and proper ciders (they brew their own beer!), and the most expansive menu of down-to-earth food, with a light modern touch for people worried about their waistlines. Great place, with original interior. Bring your camera!

Really nice food, with a great choice from the menu, as well as a specials board. The pub has its own Micro Brewery out the back which supplies the pub with beer (which is very nice indeed). Very friendly staff, will visit again soon.

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this great pub, when the other pub in the village stopped serving at 20:30. We found the landlord to be very accommodating, and the food was good traditional pub grub. Definitely worth a visit

10 of us stopped off for a meal and we all agreed what a great find it was.The pub was already busy but they managed to find room for our group (unlike the previous place we'd tried).A decent selection of real ales - I recommend the Ukulale - and a wide range of menu choices. Sunday and wednesday are also Curry night.Service was quick and the portion sizes were huge. Just what was needed after a day's walking.Highly recommended

A very welcoming pub in a nice village. Although busy they accommodated our party of 10 and made us feel welcome.A good range of local beers and a cosy local feel to the pub. The food menu offers a wide range of options - Sunday and Wednesday are Curry nights - and the portions offered are very generous. Prices are very reasonable too.Overall I would highly recommend this pub to anyone.

Wow what can I say other than I highly recommend the Tally Ho. A party of 6 adults and 2 children, food was outstanding all cooked fresh so much choice and flavour outstanding service and not over priced. Can't wait to go back good job I live in Hatherleigh.

We visited 'The Tally Ho' as we were staying in the area. We ordered our drinks and asked if they were still serving food, although the kitchen had closed for the afternoon they offered to cook us something off the 'Early Bird' Menu which is two meals for £10.00.I would highly recommend this pub for the friendly staff , the welcoming atmosphere and the lovely food. Well done!

Proper local pub with lots of character and characters ! Friendly staff , goo range of loal beers but also spotits etc

My husband and I were staying in Hatherleigh and after our meal we went for a walk and came across this pub which had a live bad. Very traditional pub with ales on tap. Frequented by a lot of locals - quite packed but a good atmosphere and the band played a variety of music - Great finish to a fab day

This is a cosy pub in the centre of the small market town. The bar is well patronised by locals and has a warm and homely feel about it. Good ales are available, and an extensive menu. Although there is a designated restaurant at the back we ate in the bar as it had more atmosphere (and we managed to get the only free table). The food, while nothing outstanding, was good pub food (we had the duck breast and home-made beef lasagne) and the service was friendly. For a warm and cosy pub on a cold January evening (the fire was alight and the bar area perfectly warm enough without coats!) this fitted our requirements perfectly. The only drawback is that it has no car park and street parking nearby can be difficult.

One very cold December evening the warmth and friendliness of an old Devonshire pub was sought .......but on this occasion it was not available. On arrival it was quite some time before we were noticed to enable us to order a drink. After another delay we were able to source a menu,again some time passed before we were allowed to order a meal. The meal when it was served was acceptable but certainly overpriced.We were so cold we were forced to move closer to a wood burning stove,the second. Stove was unlit ,maybe to save on heating bill. Most of the other diners we observed were all wearing their outdoor coats. When we opened up the stove to .let out more heat and so make our stay more comfortable,a member of staff immediately pushed passed us to close the stove ,implying it was against health and safety of leave the doors open. It was a very cold night and the customers were very obviously feeling the cold,on this occasion this pub was very DRAFTY and decidedly chilly certainly NOT. CUSTOMER FRIENDLY

Our Skittles group of 10 ladies thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Tally Ho last evening. The chicken with leek sauce I had was a bit disappointing but the rest of the ladies, ordering everything across the board, left very clean plates saying how nice theirs had been plus the desserts went down singing hymns. The bar and restaurant staff were all very pleasant, friendly and smiling and couldn't do enough for us so what with that and the great atmosphere we came away very satisfied.

Visited Hatherleigh whilst staying at Bude. It was a Monday & not a lot of places were open for food.We decided on the Tally Ho since it looked nice & as soon as we walked in we knew we were in the right placeIt has that oldey worldy charm including a real wood burning fire which is always a good signThe food choices were good & good pricesThey had a choice of 3 real ales ...Tribute, Otter & CavalierWe had the soup - cauliflower with stilton which was a very nice combination. The bread roll that came with it was warm & so we had a very nice lunch.The staff are all smartly presented wearing matching polo shirts & very friendlyThe Tally Ho is a lovely pub & if we were in the area we would visit again

we visited the tally ho and had a few drinks. the food looked great and we will be trying the food next time

Typical Olde Worlde Devon pub in Hatherleigh centre. Food was not bad, prices about right. Surroundings somewhat cramped and service slow. No pub car park, so either street parking or Market Car park a few hundred metres away,

We were staying at the George down the road, but came across this place - full of character and a lovely sun-trap beer garden. A quick half-hour stay turned into a 4 hour sunset view! Local beers were excellent.

We also like others stayed elsewhere in hatherleigh and did not want gastro menu.. we popped up the road to this rustic pub and we were delighted with the friendly landlord and staff, atmosphere, they couldn't do enough to help when a few choices from the menu were sold out. The food was excellent, generous portions, esp the veg. Good selections of desserts too. Fair prices to what you get.

Popular with locals and visitors for both food and drink. We did not eat, but judging by the number of people who were, it looks OK.

My wife and I stayed at another local pub but were not happy about the drinks selection, so we dropped into the Tally Ho for a drink. Thankfully there was a friendly welcome, good atmosphere and local cider from Winkleigh. Basically a good village pub.Can't say anything about the food, except Peanut and Lion Bar Cheesecake!! May not be fine dining but sure sounded good to me. :)

brilliant little pub food was great and cheap would go back again. it was like going back in time. Staff very good and always talked to you.

Went with family for an evening meal. We won't be rushing back, food was ok, not bad enough to complain. I'd have thought with all the competition (3 pubs inc this one and a restaurant) in Hatherleigh they might try a bit harder.

The Sunday roast is one of the best in Devon well cooked and presented,generous portions,and piping hot,I have also on occasions had the hot Burmese chicken curry which i believe is the landlord Ady's nan's recipe which is fantastic,all the staff are friendly and helpful.The premises has a great beer garden for the warm summer evenings (if we get any).

thought we would try a meal here but to be honest very disappointed, you could eat it but not great ,not that enjoyable experience

Lovely place to spend a few hours, full of character and history, good beer, good food, friendly staff, what more could you want. Within 10 minutes of leaving had a phone call to say I'd left my glasses behind, now that's what I call service.

Popped in last night which was Carnival night in Hatherleigh the beer was in very good condition unfortunately they had removed all the tables due to the amount of people out for the Carnival, so we couldn't try what looked like a tasty menu. I shall report back when we eat there and supply the correct picture of the pub. Because the picture it shows here is NOT the Tally Ho in Hatherleigh

We only went for drinks while stating at The George over the road but much preferred the atmosphere in the bar here....my partener said the beer was first class and I was pleasantly surprised by the wine. Wish we hadn't eaten all ready as the food looked lovely too.

Had a meal here whilst staying at the George as it was recommended by a local. The steak was fantastic really good as was the salad which I ordered with it, my partner had chicken which he said was delicious. The atmosphere in the pub was great, very busy and very popular although we sat in the restaurant in a small room at the back. Cannot fault, the food cannot fault the staff very friendly, very pleasant

After reading the reviews here we paid a visit to this place and was looking forward to it. When we reached it we found that the garden is not as pretty as one would think. Going into the pub I expected it to be dark as most country pub's are. The tables was sticky and the place was inundated with wasps so much we had to move the back room which looked like a junk room. After two of us ordered the belly pork we jokingly said "knowing our luck there would be only one available" guess what after 10-15 minutes the guy came out and said they only had one left. Seriously cant the chef get his stock right. The guy said we do a good burger but I said I wouldn't eat a burger so I ordered the beef lasagne. Guess what came out. Yep the burger so my brother had it and I had the pork belly. The veg looked as if had been nuked in a microwave but the square fries was nice. The belly pork was edible but not for that price and I could have done better at home myself so I was not impressed. The rest of my group had meals which was OK and the guy did not charge us for the burger. But in all I was not impressed with the whole experience and to be honest this pub should have a 2 star

Amazing atmosphere, good beers and food, a genuine old style country pub, with a good feel about it.

lovely food, husband got stuck into the jail ale!!! Staff very friendly, as were the locals! recommend the curries.

Nice unpretentious pub with good atmosphere, full of locals enjoying themselves. Friendly knowledgeable staff, quick service. Quite interesting menu and v.good value with big platefuls coming out of the kitchen. We couldn't finish our scampi and chips and salad as there was so much of it. IMHO far better food than is served at The George hotel over the road, where we stayed.
