The Tradesman's Arms in South Hams

Dropped by on recommendation after a long walk with the dogs at nearby Hembury Woods Beautiful location, overlooking the stunning Devon countryside, with a good size car park Really good lunch and main menu offering a good selection of homemade dishes Would definitely recommend the fish pie, stuffed full with cod, salmon and prawns in a delicious creamy sauce, with a cheesy mash top, one of the best I’ve ever tasted The ham, eggs and chips were knockout also, the ham being cooked to perfection on the premises, and served with proper chips, a couple of perfectly cooked eggs and garden peas, all decent sized portions Have found ourselves a new favourite for lunch, looking forward to our next visit already

Stopped here for lunch after a long walk, really lovely staff and great food and the view from the garden is awesome, would highly recommend

Great little place for an overnight stay. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, competitively priced, reasonable food menu, good breakfast and fabulous cider “Hunts Wobbler” which is a good still flat farmhouse cider.

We called in after a walk for a drink but then decided to have some food but we were told that the kitchen was closing soon but the lady behind the bar was very helpful and told us not to worry about rushing to decide what we want We ordered a cheese plowman's and a sandwich and sat back in the garden to enjoy the lovely views Our food arrived and wow the plowman's was the biggest I've ever seen The sandwich I had was lovely but secretly I want the plowman's maybe next time As for the prices for the size of the plates of food we received and the friendly staff I feel the whole lunch was excellent value for money I would highly recommend the trademans arms for great beer and food Enjoy 😁

What a lovely find, made to feel very welcome by landlord and staff, The Sunday Roast was excellent, sat in the conservatory with wonderful views, very relaxing . Made our whole day out perfect. Will definitely be going again and next time booking in for a long weekend . Thank you The Tradesman's Arms Michael & Julie

Ate dinner during my stay here and had a great meal with generous portion sizes and tasty ingredients. The price represented good value for money and I was provided with both friendly and fast service. Unfortunately I didn't have room for dessert, but the enticing options on the table next door made me wish I had!

Wanted a quick night away and the Tradesman arms was a great choice. Reasonably priced bed and breakfast. Room not huge but had everything you need and was clean. Good view from the window, am sure will be spectacular on a sunny day. Ate there in the evening too. A lovely welcome from Kev and Suzie. Food and drinks all reasonable price, food good pub grub and delicious. Pub was quiet but a good atmosphere was generated with a few locals at the bar. A good location to explore Dartmoor from.

Very warm welcome for both us as a couple and our dog! Felt at home immediately. Food decent pub grub, service excellent!

A fantastic place to eat with a great menu. Also a great pub...with a real pub vibe.. ¹¹¹¹is Accommodation is aa a of a reasonable price. I will be back....

Beautiful view, very helpful staff and a good lunch. If in a large car take care swinging into the car park - but if you've got this far, should be no problem! Scoriton or Scorriton? Locals disagree, and so do the signs at either end of the hamlet... Latter is usual online. Well worth a visit if exploring moor or Buckfastleigh area.

Brilliant b and b the hosts were very helpful and the room was very modern and clean. Would definitely go again

Great Pub and great Food! We had a Curry with chicken and rice, Indian style and ir was very good! but the absolut must eat: the chocolate brownie, just a dream! the staff is very nice, helpful and friendly.

Our third and fourth visits last week to this lovely authentic local. This is a proper pub, full of locals, visitors and their dogs. Good wholesome grub, tasty beer and friendly service. The burger was superb. Will be back next year. Thanks Kevin & Suzanne.

We enjoyed it very good lunch in this authentic village pub that provided not just well prepared food but plenty of choice. The service was really good and the environment was clean and comfortable. I have no doubt that I will visit again when in the area.

Stayed before. Again, an excellent visit. Superb food, drinks. Very friendly and welcoming. Our dog loved it and was very upset to leave (as we were)! Can’t wait to return. Will always be our first choice. Awesome. Thanks Kevin, Suzi and Saffie xx (K, J and Hagrid 😃)

Excellent pub grub, friendly staff and good service just what you expect from a decent pub - good work and keep it up!

We stayed whilst walking the Two Moors. Arriving early evening after a long days walking we sat in the lovely garden in the sunshine unwinding with a well deserved drink. Nice welcoming chats at the bar, dinner was delicious, our room was spotless and very comfortable, breakfast the next morning great too as were our packed lunches we were sent off with. All in all a perfect nights stay. Thank you!

Decent food and joined the quiz which was fun. Very welcoming place and lovely views. Gd value for money

Lovely hidden pub. Very quiet and lovely views. The food was fantastic, good solid pub food. Not over priced. The children’s meals were great too, my son loved his ham, (especially the) egg and chips. Would visit again.

We stayed in the area and ate here on 2 occasions, the food was fresh, well presented and no overpriced. The landlord and staff were fantastic and so so friendly. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

The meal was very nice. Were not too happy at having a dog in the restaurant as it wasn't a guide dog.

I would like to say Thank you for a very warm welcome and a great stay.The room was clean and comfortableGreat menu choice for an evening meal.Breakfast was faultless.Lovely friendly pub.We will be back, so glad we found you.Carole and Garry.

Exactly what you want, good quality meals, good selection of drinks, charming pub, friendly service.

We booked a last minute break to this area and have had evening meals here Sun - Tues.. all very good value and all delicious . Very pleasant and helpful staff .. the 2 ladies working Tues eve were especially lovely .

We were staying at a campsite nearby and popped to the tradesman for tea. Very friendly team, covid safe, and good was lovely .. thank you for having us .. we will be back !!

Absolutely fantastic week staying here. Warm, welcoming staff, superb food and beer. What more can I say. Absolutely glorious. 😃

Dropped in for a quick drink when passing - good beer and very friendly. Will consider staying here if we visit Dartmoor again.

After dropping our daughter off, we decided to stay at The tradesmans for a night, to catch up with some old friends if we were lucky. The owners Suzi and Kev couldn't have been more friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and the room we had was absolutely spotless and inviting. Top class bar staff ( Skye ) and 1st class food. Breakfast was amazing and all freshly cooked. We couldn't fault anything. Perfect place to stay.

Went for some snack food and a few drinks after a tough uphill cycle from R Dart Country Park. I found the staff unhelpful and disdainful to kids. Food orders closed at 2.30pm on a Saturday and that MEANT 2.30pm! Staff need to learn to smile more and be courteous.

Great menu with good range. Tasty dishes with amole portions. Excellent choice of real ales on offer, well-kept. The service is efficient and friendly and the pub has great ambience. There are lovely Dartmoor views in the conservatory dining area. Overall a great pub that offers excellent accommodation with friendly hosts - highly recommended

Thank you Sue and Kevin, enjoyed my stay immensely :-) Everything was perfect: my room, breakfast and dinner - can't fault anything :-) Special thanks to Sue for keeping my dog's water bowl filled with fresh water - she wouldn't drink out of the bowl kindly supplied in the pub, only from her own bowl!! I will be back... :D

The staff are friendly and welcoming, fantastic location. The food is delicious and the price range is amazing for what you get!

Absolute gem of a pub! Warm welcome and the food was amazing and great value! A bit off the beaten track but views to die for!

After a long day of walking we were very happy to arrive at the Tradesman's Arms. We were greeted warmly by Kevin who was very chatty and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and had a lovely view out over the fields. Some of the food at dinner was disappointing as it seemed to have been over-microwaved which had caused it to become rather leathery. Our main problem though was in the morning when we were served an adequate breakfast by a rather unfriendly, grumpy, monosyllabic woman. After we'd eaten I asked her where in the totally empty carpark would be best to leave our car overnight as we were continuing our walk along the Two Moors Way. She made it very plain that this was an unreasonable request and said she'd rather we didn't leave it. So we didn't. Instead we found a charming lady who kindly moved her car along so we could park outside her house in the village. It was a shame as it did leave us feeling unnecessarily annoyed and upset. I'm not sure she is a natural fit for being in the hospitality business!

My wife and I stayed at "The Tradesman's Arms", whilst on a walking holiday from Exeter to Dartmouth. We received a warm welcome (despite being muddy and sweaty after a 20Km walk). The room was spacious and clean, and the bar had a good selection of real ale. The restaurant serves just the kind of meals that one craves after a long day hiking; home-cooking, well-prepared, and in generous portions. Highly recommended!

Following a good couple of hours walking on the moor, we (family of 7 adults) booked a table at the Tradesmans Arms.

We received a warm welcome from Kevin, one of the owners, who showed us to our room and gave us all the useful info re breakfast, etc. He was very friendly and took a genuine interest in us which was nice.

We stayed at the Tradesman's this weekend by accident. Our original booking for a 2 night stay was for another inn up the road (The Church House Inn, wrongly advertised as being in Postbridge) but when we arrived there, we found it had been shut for 2 years! It was still advertising on sites like booking.com and we had paid for our room over a month ago so you can imagine how we felt when we we arrived there in the early evening and found the place totally deserted. Luckily for us, someone guided us to the Tradesman's Arms and we took the last room available there that day. What a lucky break! I can't thank Kev and Suzzy at the Tradesman's enough for their kindness and support in all this. They were the best of hosts and run a fabulous friendly place. Our room was clean, comfortable and airy. The food was delicious and came in very generous portions. The setting is lovely-you can look over the Devon countryside from the dining room-and it is quiet. Very little traffic and the soothing sound of the cows in the surrounding fields. Good place for walkers (there were several there at the same time) and easy access to to Dartmoor and local sites like Buckfast Abbey. Excellent value for money as well. It now has a permanent place on my list of places to stay and I will certainly return. Big thanks to Kev and Suzzy for making our weekend a real pleasure rather than the disaster it might have been.

Very reasonably priced menu, served to a high standard and by friendly staff. A comprehensive menu with something for every taste and tempting daily specials.

Excellent food, very good value. The pub is a traditional country pub, next door to a farm. Very friendly staff.

We were out walking and saw this pub so we called in for a drink very friendly young lady behind the bar very clean and spacious, food looked good but we didn’t eat here .

We visited here on Wednesday night. Lovely staff, amazing food and good value for money. Very very friendly especially considering we have a lively 2 year old. But we were all well catered for.

A post Christmas sunday lunch for four. Three roasts and one salad! I was informed by my so called friends that I should have chosen the roast as the pork melted in your mouth and the roast potatoes were to die for!!

Very friendly and very good service. We ate there one evening and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. There was a good atmosphere and our table by the window gave us a stunning view. We also called in one late lunchtime, after a decent walk and apart from an excellent pint we shared a plate of excellent whitebait !

Well worth a visit, great food friendly staff and first class accommodation. All at reasonable prices.

This pub epitomises what a good local country pub should be. Very busy with happy people, dogs and children (all w ell behaved) . Service efficient and friendly. We had the blackboard roasts. (pork or beef) Mine was still pink (at my request) and extremely good. My friends' other choices were to quote them 'excellent' The puddings delicious. The roasts are priced at £7.50 what a bargain - puts a great many other pubs and restaurants in the shade.

We visited The Tradesman's Arms for dinner when staying at a local B&B.; The welcome we received on arrival could have been warmer, but we had no complaints about the quality of the food that was served up and, overall, we had a good evening.

This is a great, honest pub in a beautiful location. The service was excellent and friendly, not fussy - just what you want. Food was lovely and excellent value too.

The Tradesmans arms is set in a small village, so a drive for most people, but don't let this put you off it's well worth the journey. A group of 8 of us went and can't recommend it highly enough , we visited on Tuesday ( curry night ) as well as the normal menu which has something for everyone. The food was great and the staff very pleasant.

We had been meaning to visit this pub for a whlie having lived in the area for a couple of years. A shame we hadn't made the effort earlier as the pie night was excellent. Good, honest and full-portioned pub food, and excellent value including a pint. Service was very welcoming to both locals and tourists and it appeared to be popular with walkers. Am certainly planning to come back more regularly.

Excelente alojamiento de excelente comida y muy amable. Es nuestra 3ª visita y los nuevos propietarios (para nosotros) era muy acogedor. Llegamos con la ventana controladores en nuestro Jeep tras caer en la puerta y Kevin trajo a su kit de herramientas y en poco tiempo, y la ventana de socorro en general. Llegamos el sábado y nos fuimos en la mañana del martes muy de mala gana. Cuidado - ¡volveremos!

La mejor comida de pub que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Perfectamente cocinado y abundante. El personal es genial.

Great little pub in the middle of nowhere (Scorriton actually) providing good beer, good food and pleasant company. Traditional bar style with small restaurant area overlooking the valley and a pleasant beer garden. Ideal after a day walking the moors.

We stayed in the Dartmoor sheperds huts and this pub is approx 1/2 a mile away. The food was great and reasonably priced. Good beer and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend it for a visit.

had to send burger back as it was beyond raw......it returned minutes later having been scooped from bun cooked more and replaced!! after asking for a replacement and for it to be cooked through a replacement arrived...still raw in the middle. No apology. no discount. very poor. To add insult there wasn't a single prawn in the fish pie contrary to menu and the garlic bread was floppy and tasteless. Avoid if I were you. If you're in the area head for the Tavistock Inn Poundsgate or Rugglestone at Widecombe, both great pubs and great food and put this place to shame for the same price.

We enjoyed an evening meal here, whilst staying at the Mitchelcroft B&B. Some of our walking party stayed at the Tradesman's arms too. Very welcoming host.

Took my family here for Easter Sunday lunch. The roast was honestly one of the best pub roasts I've had and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who were friendly and helpful throughout.Cracking pub in a beautiful location - well worth a visit.

The outsid needs a bit of tender loving care but the interior has been nicely updated. The girl on duty gave no welcoming smile. We asked if they did sandwiches as it was a Sunday lunchtime. The girl gave us the menu and said they did do sandwiches as well as Sunday roast. There were no sandwiches on the menu!We ordered 2 starters. The crab fish cakes with chilli sauce were nice but very small. The bread with the soup had either been put in the microwave for too long or was stale as the crusts were very hard.

Ate here twice during our stay nearby.Food was OK and beer was good.Staff friendly and helpful especially with dietary allergies.

We came for Sunday lunch after a walk on the moor. Both staff and other customers were welcoming, the food was good (not the sort of gourmet meal you get in lots of gastropubs these days, but to be fair it was about a third of the price). Views over the hills from our table, and a short walk back to our rental cottage. Perfect!

Stayed in the area for three days and were anticipating dining at this pub on all three evenings because of the favourable reviews. However after our first evening and encountering a very disappointing meal we decided to make alternative arrangements.The 'home made' steak and ale pie was pretty tasteless and the steak in the pie was tough and chewy not I'm afraid a good eating experience. This was served with the usual pile of frozen chips and boiled vegetables. My experience didn't replicate some of the good experiences that have been written about by previous reviewers. Regrettably we did not make a return visit to this place but the pub is fine to call into for a drink after a walk on the moor.

Go on a Thursday for a dinner and entry in the pub quiz. Good beer and friendly and efficient service-AND dog friendly

It was mine and my wife's engagement anniversary so I thought I would take the wife to a different pub for a meal. We had heard good reviews of the Tradsmans so decided to go there last night. On Mondays it's steak night and we were not disappointed the steak was amazing cooked to perfection, a warm welcoming country pub with good wholesome country food.

Well, like every week Teresa and I are out and about visiting restaurants all over the country on our travels. This time it was the turn of the Tradesman Arms in Scoriton. What a disappointment this was. After reading the reviews I assumed it would be special, it wasn't. We both had a Rump Steak and it was very poor and the frozen chips didn't impress, and the onion rings were also out the freezer. What a strange place as behind the bar there is a video playing of the local dogs whom frequent the place and frankly, there was as many dogs as people. Now that's fine but having a dog at your table looking for scraps is not my idea of an evening out. They even have treats on the bar for the dogs. Don't get me wrong, I love animals but in a restaurant area of a pub, ghastly. Cheap it was, cheerful it wasn't.

We were staying at the wonderful Michellcroft B&B just down the road, so we were glad to be able to walk to this nice pub for our dinner. I had the shepherd's pie and it was delicious and so plentiful I could not finish it. I would recommend this pub for a good evening meal with delightful views over Dartmoor.

My daughter and I arrived tired and hungry at the Tradesman's Arms, as darkness fell, after getting lost on Dartmoor while doing the Two Moors Way hike. We checked in with the inn keeper, Kevin, a very friendly gentleman. The inn was warm and inviting. After a celebratory pint, having survived Dartmoor, and making it to our next destination, we made our way upstair to check into our room, shower, and return for food, glorious food! The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were the same. The view out our window was pure country---cows, fields, large green trees, and mooing frequently. Just LOVED it! We had a delicious meal, and I especially remember my steak and ale pie---light and flaky crust, tender beef, delicious vegetables. Always chips! The server, who has lived in the area for years, was funny and kind, and helped us with a short cut up and over a high ridge. We made our way to bed, falling blissfully into a soft, large bed and slept like logs, awakening to morning moos! After another amazing British breakfast---eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, toast and tea---we had to put on our hiking boots, hoist our backpacks, and head back to work. Our marvelous experience at the Tradesman's Arms gave us encouragement to keep moving forward.

I recently spent a weekend with friends camping nearby, the staff were so friendly and accommodating when I asked for a table for 11 of us, 15 mins later we were sat. The food was incredible, good home cooked fresh local food, with huge portions. I highly recommend the Bailey's cheesecake, it was to die for!! Overall...fantastic service, amazing food and an amazing time was had!!

Good pub grub, very friendly but also relaxed, delicious cider that doesn't get more local made in the valley you look across! Good walkers pub too.

Generous portions. Very good quality food well cooked to order. No specials available at lunchtimes but the menu offers a wide choice to suit all needs. The shepherds Pie was full of chunks of beef covered in Mash with a separate dish of 3 veg. Very nice puddings and I recommend the apple crumble. Fresh clotted cream, double cream, custard or Ice cream is offered with all sweets. Reasonable value for the money. Good Devon cider was also available.

We stayed overnight at the Tradesman's during our cycling weekend around Devon/Dartmoor. Basic pub, like they haven't quite finished decorating it. Basic, clean rooms - did the job for us but no frills. Good fish and chips, but the "special" pork and cider pie was unappetising. Good selection of excellent beers. Landlord and staff very friendly and welcoming - he is a Southend supporter, which bonded him to us Barrow fans determined to cycle to another new ground (Plainmoor, Torquay).

Hidden away on the edge of the Moors, this is a lovely pub with a conservatory which gives fantastic views of a valley with Moor in the distance. Just perfect for a Sunday Roast which we very much enjoyed followed by an evening walk through the lanes.

The pub is in a lovely spot in a quiet village. We had a table looking out over beautiful views across the valley at the back of the restaurant area. We luckily coincided with 'steak night', and each had a perfectly cooked and very tender steak with great chips and trimmings. With a small glass of red wine, this is offered for a miraculous £11.95. We also ate here the next evening, choosing a la carte this time. My shepherd's pie was nice, with proper diced lamb. Accompanying veg could have been a bit more interesting, but again the cost was very reasonable.The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and staff helpful and efficient. A reliable, enjoyable spot for good traditional pub food.

Visited this friendly pub on a Tuesday evening. It was steak night. Absolutely delicious. We ordered 2 steaks, a glass of wine and a beer. The bill was a little over £20. Remarkable value. More to the point is that this pub is in a lovely location with views over the beautiful Holne valley. Stunning and peaceful location. I felt that the staff really wanted to please and the food certainly did.

We were staying round the corner from here so visited 2 nights in a row. The staff were friendly and the service was really good. The food was delicious and portions sizes were generous. Couldn't ask for any more from a pub!!

Stayed here while doing part of the Two Moors Way. We arrived mid-afternoon and were made welcome and shown to our room.The situation of the hotel is brilliant - quiet and with great views.Breakfast the next day was fairly standard stuff, but very well-cooked.Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A nice country pub which serves good food at reasonable prices.Staff friendly - and service efficient.

Just returned from a four night stay at the tradesman good sized room with great view room1.food and beer were excellent very friendly hosts very dog friendly a good location for both moors and Coast.believe the owners have not been there long good luck to them will return next time we are in the area. Jay and sue stb's tia and wilson.

Booked this for lunch on the way down to Devon, purely on Tripadvisor recommendations. Although not the most prepossessing from the outside, more than made up for by the welcome and the food. Liked the homemade chutney so much that we wanted to buy some! Alas not for sale.

I hope that pressure to update doesn't result in the loss of any of the features which make this place so interesting and enjoyable. The food has no pretentions but is tasty hearty generous and great value. The beers are well kept and the selection does not bow to ephemeral fancy. The owners/staff are entirely welcoming and helpful. The layout is not for dainty sitting with a half of shandy rather to having a good few jars with mates and family. Please don't change it.

knew this pub as visited few years back , lovely Saturday afternoon walk from buckfast abbey, fab warm welcome pub, food just excellent, proper moorland pub with home made good tasty food, excellent value and service

A lovely old style moorland pub,They do a very good sunday lunch,with large servings , and not a bad price ,

Came here in April 2015 pub decor a little tired but a nice friendly atmosphere. Tables a little shabby but service was good.Meals were excellent,food was served on really hot plates which makes a difference If you're nearby it's worth a try.

The food was good, but the interior of the pub rather plain and in need of some tlc, eg there is little sitting area, except at the dining tables. There were two wall lights above the fireplace and only one was working. On a cold, windy, wet evening the pub did not have a welcoming environment that one usually associates with country pubs. If you want basic pub food you will not be disappointed. The Friday fish was excellent,

Visited to dine without having booked, but this proved no problem though it might have been a bit more of a risk later on in the evening. The menu was varied, well presented - British pub food in style. Service was good and very friendly. The meals we were served were generous and skilfully prepared. We left relaxed and replete - what more can one ask. Thank you!

宿の近くでした。イギリス田舎の雰囲気が良い、食事も良い。チャウダーと、ラムの煮込み、ステーキ食べました。ローカルビール、サイダーあります。種類豊富。夜は道が暗いので、懐中電灯を持って行くと良いです。

Visited here in September 2015 while on holiday in Buckfastleigh. The food was brilliant, we visited on 'Pie night' and our table of 3 ordered the beef and Stilton, the pork and cider and the chicken and mushroom, all were very delicious and were huge portions! We also had a 2 huge sides of veg. For pudding we ordered the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream...amazing! Understand that the clotted cream is made by the farm next door, and it tasted wonderful. The whole meal was met with universal praise and my mother who was visiting from NZ (ex pat Brit) especially loved the pudding and still talks about it! The man on front of house was very friendly and attentive. Overall a great little pub tucked away down a country lane.

Es gibt Specials, jeden Wochentag ein anderes Angebot und auch vegetarische und vegane Gerichte werden angeboten.

Despite there being no table available for Sunday lunch the staff said to take a seat and they'd sort it out, we ow;ld be fed at some point. We did as suggested and so pleased we did. Lovely roast lamb with excellent service, felt really well looked after. Pub full of friendly locals and the young guys running this very busy pub were so welcoming.

we stayed at the pub for 3 night and we had dinner all nights, all food are fresh, tasty and you must made a reservation because is very popular.

Good quality food in large quantities and offer of food and wine together excellent value. Wonderful position with great views over Armored from the conservatory.

Good, value for money food. A varied menu with dishes cooked well. We have now been several times and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Off the beaten track and tucked away in a small hamlet a couple of miles out of Buckfastleigh, this traditional old pub is well worth a visit for its food alone. The decor is plain and a little dated in places, but the service was excellent and the food exceeded our expectations. Shame we found it on the last night of our stay!

To list this pub as being in Buckfastleigh is a tad misleading since it is a few miles out of this town, in the hamlet of Scoriton (sometimes spelled Scorriton if your sat nav can't find it) and the lanes hereabouts are narrow and winding.Although we had been advised to book, we decided to just turn up, at 7 pm on a Wednesday. The place was clearly busy with two large tables reserved. We were given an honest appraisal of our options: a slightly out-on-a-limb table between two dining areas or wait 20 minutes for a table to become free in the restaurant. Being in no hurry, we opted to wait. In 20 minutes we were shown to our table. The young waiter was obviously a bit "green" and new to the job but he was expertly marshalled by the acting "front of house" who turned out to be the head chef at other times. I had fears of waiting ages to have our order taken and then be served, but I worried in vain. Prompt service with a genuine eagerness to please.I had probably the best pub curry I have ever had (Wednesday is a pie and curry specials night although full menu also available). The lamb tikka Marsala was a very mild sauce but I had several massive chunks are very tender lamb in it, with rice, naan bread and two large poppadoms.Overall the menu is a typical array of pub food but excellent portion size and good quality throughout and very good value for money.

Well worth a short detour off the A38 to break a journey to/from holiday, or for more leisurely dining in a nice old pub. the extension is somewhat lacking in atmosphere compared to the original, but the service and food are very good.

Lovely old traditional pub serving good food at value for money prices. Friendly staff who really make you feel at home.We will come again!

Had very enjoyable meals at very reasonable prices. The menu was very varied and catered for all tastes

Visiting friends in the area, decided to try this lovely village pub. Meal excellent, prices good, atmosphere lovely and welcoming. We stayed for the quiz night held on a Thursday evening with the proceeds going to Air Ambulance. It was a great evening with laughter and fun. We didn't feel strangers or like tourists, we were made to feel part of the village . Thank you. We are coming again soon.

We stayed at the Tradesmen's Arms and found the service and food to be basic but good. Friendly service, fantastic view.

really good food and staff are great. steak was like butter to cut and melted in your mouth. they do b&b as well

This is an honest pub, offering no frills food at reasonable prices and more than adequate portions. Friendly bar staff and the fact that it was full of local regulars says alot. beer and wine well kept. Would visit again if in the area.
