The Tuckers Arms in East Devon

Fantastic all round. Just don't pinch our seat by the fire.

Fabulous old thatched pub. Food was good and plentiful. The ale was a bit of a let down.

Great Sunday lunch served here by the friendly team, good value for the large portions of well cooked veg! Pub has classic character with fires blazing throughout.

Lovely old English pub hundreds of years old in a small village great food and service

Beautiful old country pub. Fantastic atmosphere and the locals were lovely. We had the Sunday Roast which was by far the best I have ever had. The staff and service was amazing, can not fault the place. We will be back again 😊

After reading mostly positive reviews we had high hopes for the pub. However, we were left disappointed. There is no atmosphere in the pub & we didn’t feel particularly welcomed. The waiting staff were polite & friendly enough. Unfortunately, the meal wasn’t great, not very flavoursome & the steak was very over-cooked. It was a bit of a let down after having high expectations.

This beautiful old pub is a hidden gem. I went with my mate for a couple of pints earlier this week on a damp & dreary eve; we made a roaring fire (the landlord allowed us to freely gather wood from his store), sat by it and drank some of the night away with tasty local ale & some Islay whisky. It's a bit like stepping back in time. I've also eaten here on quite a few occasions for Sunday lunch & I've never had a bad experience. It's also dog-friendly, which suits us just fine (we left our dog-lead at the pub a while back & they kept it safe for us to collect). Honestly, this old, quirky place is a dying breed of traditional English pubs and should be supported as much. Not only does it bestow a sense of community, it's a great place to sit near the fire, play board games, or eat local food if you so desire. Definitely recommended for an experience.

Avoid this place at all costs! Food is overpriced and bland. Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Toilets are disgusting and the garden is overgrown and unloved. On the day we went there was no local wine (yet the village’s vineyard and its owner are literally 200 yards down the road), no orange juice, no crisps and no nuts! What pub doesn’t have a ready supply of crisps and nuts?! Food hygiene rating purportedly has gone up from 2 to 4 but in all honesty, you’d never know and if it’s not 5, is it actually good at all? Oh, and the new landlord is very rude We’ve been visiting this pub for over 20 years and the previous landlord/lady had it running like a dream. The garden was beautifully maintained and the place was buzzing, particularly for Sunday lunches and those famous giant Yorkshire puddings. We were always welcomed with the best hospitality but I can’t see this place lasting much longer if none of the above aren’t improved. So sad to see it this way

Booked for a Sunday lunch with our sons who were down for a family birthday and we were not disappointed. Hadn't been for a year or two, but we were pleased to see that standards were as high as ever. Friendly staff, roaring fire and excellent food. We like a good selection of vegetables and that is what you get here with very generous portions of meat and a home-cooked Yorkshire! No 'Aunt Bessie's' here!!! They don't offer a starter on a Sunday and with the size of the main course you don't need it and we were too full to think about dessert. This is a local, family-run pub in a beautiful old building at the heart of a village and long may it continue to be so.

Sunday dinner Excellent dinner Very generous portions! Nice pint of Guinness Friendly staff And dog 🐕 Friendly Only five minutes from Andrewshayes campsite Back soon thanks

... But this is one of the best pubs I've ever been too. I wish this was my local. The Sunday lunch was a lovely hearty affair washed down with a delightful Jail Ale. Staff were very friendly. Both the interior and exterior are historically beautiful; a vintage black pub sign with gold lettering, antiques, photos of the past etc. Pubs like these are essentially museums too; reminding us of a simpler time when the pub was the heart of the community. This is a five star review but my only humble recommendation would be to have one or two more cask ales as when we arrived there were only two on offer. Then it really would be the best pub in the world!

Lunch with friends at our local Pub. Food was excellent, service attentive and friendly. Thanks Howard, Liz and Elizabeth. We’ll be back.

Lovely food and excellent service in this beautiful, traditional village pub. A little gem - preserved the character perfectly of this historic building.

Sadly if you read other reviews you will see the owner of this pub is aggressive and childish. Please take a few moments to read the many awful replies he has made to his customers. As to the meal, the steak was poor quality but the meal was cheap so I’d have not passed comment on it however the chips were clearly not cooked, as could easily be ascertained by tasting or cutting into them. A pity but as the meal issues wouldn’t have rated a negative review had the owner/landlord or whatever he thinks he is been civil. Your comments show you clearly for what you are, rude, aggressive and out of your depth. Any person looking at these reviews can easily see that. A pity for the rest of the staff who obviously try. Avoid eating/drinking here as any slight issue will be so badly handled as to ruin your night.

Hidden gem in lovely Devon countryside Close to several beaches all within 30minutes drive. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was first class. Could not fault it. Definitely will go back soon

Really nice place. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is really nice and very reasonably priced. Next time I'm down there, I'll definitely be back.

Last week eight of us visited the Tuckers Arms for an early evening drink to celebration a major birthday of four of our friends. It was early evening and didn’t appear very busy but on approaching the bar we were ignored for some minutes before the barman acknowledged us and said he would serve us after sorting drinks for restaurant customers. When he finally took our orders there was no apology for the wait and no greeting of any kind. There was only one real ale on but when the barman tried to pull a pint there was just air coming out and no beer. He called for help and the landlord came over and then returned after sorting the issue but again no apology or acknowledgement .Other members of our party wanted cider or blush wine but these were not available plus it was not possible to have a large wine as the pub only had medium wine glasses. Whilst the drinks orders were being dealt with we asked if we could move chairs around near the pubs back door entrance to the garden and were told it was not an issue. After a few minutes the landlord appeared and seemed very unhappy we had moved chairs. He slammed a chair down out of the way and continued to rant about the exit being blocked and when we explained the furniture was already in that position he said “ I’m the landlord and I am due some respect”. Our special evening was totally ruined by an unpleasant experience mainly caused by the landlord’s attitude . It’s a lovely old pub but these days people expect more than beams and history. There is much competition for customers these days and people will only go and spend money where they feel they are appreciated and their custom is valued which appears is not the case at the Tuckers Arms. We will go elsewhere from now on.

Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch. Everything was perfect from the fluffy yorkshires, delicious stuffing balls, yummy roasties , succulent meats together with the perfect medley of vegetables. The deserts were scrumptious too. Additionally your customer service was second to none . Right from when we were greeted to when we left. One of my friends visiting from London said she was really impressed with the standard of food & customer service. She eats in Michelin star places & she said The Tuckers Arms was just as good! We so wish we had discovered you before. We have been so disappointed with many restaurants in Devon as I explained. We were so pleased with everything. So thank you everyone for the perfect ending to our weekend. There's not enough room on this page to write more complements but I really could! 👏💜

Last wk a party of 8 of us visited the tuckers for a celebratory drink for 4 of our friends big birthdays . On arrival the barman did not acknowledge us at the bar for a few minutes when he said , I’ll be with you in a few minutes . So no welcome at all ! Meanwhile whilst I stayed at the bar along with 2 others the others in our party asked the barman if we could move a couple of chairs to a table by the back door to accommodate all 8 of us , he said that was fine .so 2 chairs were moved to the table . The barman eventually asked us what drinks we wanted , when asked for the 1 real ale available the barman couldn’t actually extract any beer from hand pump & had to call the landlord for assistance ! Meanwhile no cider available & when I asked for a large glass of blush wine the barman looked very puzzled looking at the bar then said , what’s that then !!! When I told him it was a wine he then said he hadn’t got any . I plumped for a large glass of rose wine but was then told that I couldn’t have that as there were only medium wine glasses available , quite unbelievable !!! The landlord eventually sorted the hand pump issue , not apologising at all for the delay & then proceeded to be very unpleasant when he demanded that we moved the chairs as he said they were blocking the emergency exit. When 2 of my friends said that the barman had said it was ok to move those chairs the landlord became verbally abusive & quite frankly unpleasant . He said ‘ I’m the landlord it’s my pub & im due some respect ‘ utterly unbelievable behaviour ! ! What was meant to be a special celebration was just ruined by an arrogant rude disrespectful person , namely the landlord ! If you want a warm welcome , nice ale & chilled wine , service with a smile , DON’T visit ‘The Tuckers’ Will we not be returning .

What can I say top location and a great service the food was second to none! An absolute pleasure and will return.

Brilliant country pub perfect for country folks and City bums… food was good and tasty and plenty of it and best of all they do fresh food for dogs and very tasty for both of us 🐶 it’s perfect for dog walking … keep London laws out of the Home Counties

Absolutely amazing roast dinner. Beautiful pub. Be aware of very low door frames

One of the best meals we've had in a long time! Absolutely fantastic - high quality food, LOTS of food (they do not scrimp 😂) and great drinks too. The staff were lovely and very accommodating to us. Just down the road is a gorgeous little river and bridge - so so scenic. The baby changing, however, is not easy and this needs to be thought about as I really struggled changing my 1 year old on a narrow bathroom floor. That said, it didn't take away from the truly lovely experience we had here and would come again and again and again because the food was so brilliant.

Having seen the reviews we thought we'd give this place a shot - and wow, it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere on a chilly, wet evening was super-cosy with roaring open fires. The service was spot on, the food delicious (massive portions!) and the range of decent local beers topped it off.

So glad we made the short detour on our journey to check out this lovely place for lunch! Couldn't fault it and highly recommend. All 6 of our party ordered different things and were all equally thrilled with our delicious, locally sourced food. Top quality and generous portions for a good price. Great location & atmosphere and superb, attentive team of staff. Best pub experience we have had in a while, thanks Tucker's arms!

Our first time here, but won’t be our last. We live only down the road, but never found the time to visit the Tuckers Arms until today. What a beautiful pub in beautiful countryside and amazing food. My wife and I, plus our 2 kids and a dear elderly friend came for Sunday lunch, and we weren’t disappointed. My wife being a coeliac, she has to lead a gluten free lifestyle, and to put her mind at rest, the chef came out to see her and make sure what she was getting was a totally gf meal. The portions were generous to say the least, and the food looked and tasted great! We can’t wait to go back. I think I’ve found my new local. Love it!

What a great find, beautiful country pub, friendly staff, fabulous food... Really is a little gem... Must be, we've be back 3 times in a fortnight...

Loved the pate,will be back for food soon.

Superb food. Great beer. Lovely setting. Not the easiest to get to but absolutely worth it. Quaint and very old. Lots of outside tables if the sun is shining (which it was today). Great service. Can’t recommend it enough. I had the skate and it was delicious.

We only gave 3 star location because it was a little out the way. However, we arrived to find a beautiful idyllic setting. Team Tucker were polite and attentive. The food was Simply The Best. Sadly, it was the last day of our holiday. How we wish we had found this place sooner. Excellent food, service and value for money. This place I'd Definitely a MUST Go To PUB

Lovely old pub in the heart of the Blackdown Hills. Rural and not too easy to get to, the building has great character, particularly the inglenook fireplace. Food was a little better than most, and plenty of it. Portions perhaps too big as neither of us could finish our meals.

Excellent freshly prepared lunchtime meals.

So normally Monday night is notorious as being (a well deserved) Chef’s night off, not at the Tuckers Arms, busy, buzzy, welcoming and excellent food with outstanding service.

Lovely location. Not particularly friendly staff. The man who may have the been landlord stood out as being especially unfriendly. Food was average. Sunday roast below average. Service average.

Stopped here by chance for some food to discover it was 2 for 1 steak night. Very nice food in a lovely old country pub. Well worth a visit.

Went there for mother's Day Sunday for the first time has on short break with family.one of the best rost dinner's I've had for a long time good selection of drinks and very good service would recommend to anyone down that way to give it a try

Lovely place to stay for the night. Food was delightful and generous portions. Pork Belly just perfect. Thank you 😊

Great 13th Century Inn . Beams and open fires . Beer , whisky and Skittles . Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are for sleeping in . The bed was comfortable and the shower as hot as. The linen and towels were fine and the heating was more than adequate. ( though it did make a clunking sound and the radiator on light could probably be seen by the ISS.) The food was A1.

Lovely place, great food and spotless service.

We occasionally drop in here and the place always delivers. And such a beautiful location. Real pub. Real Devon.

3 of us had lunch , my wife and I chose the ' winter warmer' which was roast pork and all the trimmings ( fantastic!) Followed by a very tasty apple crumble. Mum in law had a very good Ham ,egg and chips. The pub was warm and the service very friendly. Would highly recommend.

Looking for a real country pub, open fire, really good food, wine and great service? Then this little gem is for you!

Gorgeous, thatched roof, 12th century pub, friendly staff, great food and a good night's sleep!

Party of 11 adults for company Christmas dinner

Gorgeous food.Gorgeous building.Lovely location.Friendly staff.We had soup and warm rolls.

Amazing Sunday roast - huge portion sizes and plenty of options on the menu. Very friendly and attentive staff. Lovely location too!

Fantastic Sunday roast . Best for miles

Absolutely lovely pub with great food, mayor peons and great staff

Lovely little pub out the way of day to day hustle and bustle. Check in was easy and found the rooms clean and a good size for 2 people. Breakfast was really nice, great size portions - word of warning with the 2 pub dogs, they are adorable and will want to share your breakfast 😊 Check out was easy! Would come again!

Brilliant pub with friendly tentative staff and the food and drink was excellent! The Sunday lunch was the best we have had for a long time, the meats were good quality and cooked to perfection and came with a good selection of veg, all finished off with homemade deserts!! We also stayed the night as we did a wine tour in the afternoon and the rooms were comfortable and clean! My only suggestion would be to put in some black out blinds as we were awake rather early due to the sun but we didn’t mind that too much! Breakfast was again delicious-you can really tell the owners have good quality suppliers. As we are fairly local (Exeter) we will certainly be returning soon, thanks for a wonderful stay!

Had a fancastic evening meal at The Tuckers Arms with visiting family. We all throughly enjoyed our meals. The staff were welcoming and very helpful and catered for our dietary needs. The pub was traditional and cosy with so much character. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Dalwood is a quintessential English village: pretty and charming. The countryside is easy to get out into for walks. Pub is the same, thatched and how everyone expects a pub to be. Friendly and helpful staff. Meals were very good, but no wine list ("two red, two white" ) But it is a pub, and not a hotel (it may have been our mistake to expect otherwise). Our room was quite small and the only window was in the ceiling, no bedside tables for spectacles, water glasses, phone etc,and nothing to sit on other than the bed. The bathroom was rather tired and worn.

First attempt to visit was thwarted by local road closures. Second attempt at the start and finish of a circular walk. Good choice of drinks and food will visit again when we are back in the area.

Set in the beautiful Devon village of Dalwood, the Tuckers Arms is our favorite as you can always be assured of great service, excellent food and a lovely, relaxing ambiance

Very busy and some food overcooked

I was on a short overnight business trip, and The Tuckers Arms was a perfect place to relax. I stayed over in one of the rooms, which was immaculate. The food in the restaurant was superb, as was the friendly hospitality of the staff, had a great chat with Howard the landlord while sitting near the open fire with a drink. I would certainly recommend a visit if you're ever in the area.

Absolutely fabulous traditional roast lunch! Swilled down with 2 pints of otter ale! Great food, great company great pub. Go guys!

Excellent! So many vegetables what a choice and also different meats!

The food was delicious and the service very good. I would definitely recommend this pub. We all enjoyed our meals.

We attended The Tucker's Arms first year anniversary on Saturday night, Hog Roast, great beer and entertainment in the form of the most hilarious Pig Racing your will ever see from Byngs Game show and live music straight after. We stayed in the recently refurbished rooms too, very comfortable and excellent pillows. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of items. Well recommended. We will certainly be returning.

Ate twice on hols , be back next year . Excellent

Great little pub, didn’t stay for food but had good beer, good service and a great beer garden. Staff and atmosphere were welcoming and the price is reasonable.

Arrived at 13:59 today to an empty pub. We asked if we could quickly order some food. He said No, he’d been waiting for customers for 2 hours and he had better things to do! He was abrupt and rude. We could have stopped for a drink only but decided that due to the frosty reception we received we would leave immediately & never return

Pub looks great, love the log fire and bits. Wasn't a fan of the beers I just stuck to Guinness. The food was nice but the portions were way to big! My one portion of chips could've fed a family. Our waitress was amazing though.

Dine there with a friend, at this beautiful country inn. Warm friendly greeting, great food, I had the chowder starter, tuckers special burger. Sadly no room at all for desert. Great portion sizes and prices right. All round great dining experience! Definitely be going back on my next trip!

Visited Tucker's after a long gap, we were delighted to find that the Sunday Lunch Roast etc. is as good as ever. Well done to the Staff

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Very good food and lots of it but took a while to come. They were busy so that was possibly the reason.

Very disappointed. Our 39th wedding anniversary, sadly they couldn't do starters or give us a wine list. I understand it is under new management but it was more than obvious they were not ready to provide a full service. We were not the only customers a little shocked. Without a starter we opted to share a main course of Lobster that would be a light starter, sadly they were unable to accommodate us in fact they couldn't even tell us what wine they had. I do wish them every success just find it sad that we were looking forward to the evening especially as the place was recommended. I will say the staff were very polite just a shame the whole experience was not what it should of been.

Went for Sunday lunch as a family and it was very nice. It was very tasty with plenty of side vegetables to share, would recommended

Lovely variety of food and welcoming staff.

Old Inn that looks old but they are welcoming and accommodating. Fair lunch on a restricted menu with covid safety in place. Very popular for a Thursday lunch time. Had been recommended several times from Sidmouth to honiton

Very good food, service. Covid precautions good

The meals here are absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I had the Beetroot Pancake Stack, my partner had the Cajun Seabass and we had the Chocolate Orange Brulie and Peach Cobbler. It was so tasty we wished we could of gone back and ate there another night but sadly it was fully booked. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly.Highly recommend a visit.

Quaint pub in pretty village. Nice welcome and lots of seating outside. Main courses were good, steak was a little tough. Desserts never appeared. We waited for over 30 minutes before anyone came back to us after giving us the menu....and then they asked if we wanted a few more minutes....we abandoned the desserts. I really don't mind waiting but staff seemed more bothered about getting people in than serving customers. Lots of cobwebs.

We went to this restaurant first night of our holiday and what a great start it was! I had the pork belly starter and snapper fish and both were beautiful. The burger was one the best burgers i have seen ordered out! Would highly recommend.

The menu was short but a good selection, the service was prompt and helpful and the food and drink lovely.

Stayed here for a little getaway with my partner and 18 month old. Service is brilliant and the food is exemplary. Breakfast, lunch and dinner divine and the service is second to none. Attentive and kind. Cannot sell this place enough, and praise the staff from cleanliness to service and being made to feel welcome and wanted. Amazing!!

There were 5 of us visiting for lunch having booked a table tin advance. There was a massive menu with something for everyone, meat, fish and veggie. I had fresh grilled sea bass fillets which were beautifully cooked and very tasty followed by home made peach crumble with fruit sorbet. The service was very welcoming, attentive and professional and I thought the prices quite reasonable considering the top quality food. It was very pleasant to sit there and not too noisy and I would definitely return

Ate her twice over the weekend in their outside beer garden ( due to COVID-19) the staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was delightful. We enjoyed both visits.

We ordered a takeaway Sunday roast, which didn’t disappoint. It was easy to place the order and the staff were very friendly. The roast was delicious and the portions were very generous. We loved the massive Yorkshire puddings!

Cosy pub with great food and service

This was our first visit to the Tuckers Arms and it was incredible. From the moment we walked through the door, the amazingly attentive staff were there for every part of our experience.The food was INCREDIBLE! And when I mean incredible, I eat out on a weekly basis, and this was the best food I have had in years! Yes....years! I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is in the area, the place, the staff, the service and the food was all 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely pub. Great food. Very helpful and friendly staff.

I consider my family extremely lucky to live nearby this amazing pub. Family run, the Tuckers Arms and its staff - known locally as Team Tuckers - is a very special place. The beautiful thatched building in our delightful village alone is gorgeous in itself. The food, whatever you choose, is always amazing and it’s run by the nicest and friendliest people you could imagine. Tracey, Craig and family are a big part of village life and give the warmest of welcomes to locals and tourists alike. If you’re after something special, the Tuckers Arms is the right choice.

Superb steak with excellent trimmings at a fair price. Excellent Turkey dish with trimmings. A real pleasure to eat there, withy nice staff and surroundings.

Great place. Known it for over ten years. They cater for high end restaurant clientelle but haven't forgotten the locals. The pub provides a social centre for both the farming and 'incomers' community. Part of the way of life in a lovely village.

We visited in September and were given a table outside (we had the dog, and were positioned under a strong patio heater. The food was delicious and very filling ( we had bread, two starters and four mains between four of us). The waiting staff were very attentive and made for a very enjoyable evening. Would recommend - make sure you book though as it gets busy!

Excellent food and impeccable staff service under the strange circumstances of Covid. We will not hesitate to visit again when lockdown ends, thank you.

We ate here at the end of October 2020. Lovely pub, warm welcome. Felt they were adhering to guidance regarding COVID well, we actually had our own area/snug to eat in. Staff were very friendly and professional. I had the Goan fish curry and my husband had the blade of beef, both delicious. Slight mix up with the bill at the end but quickly rectified once pointed out.

A fantastic Gastro pub!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is warm and cosy just like the staff! You have to try the steak & ale pie!! Yuuuuummmyyy!!

What a beautiful little hidden country pub! Visited here as a couple recently, booked in as we heard it was advisable due to current pandemic. Food was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Started of with a Cornish larger, we had rump steak and hake for mains, cannot fault it was delicious. My partner is a huge steak eater & it was cooked to perfection. The garlic bread is a must, so different and tasty. We finished with creme brûlée (my first one ever) and pancakes, apart from having such stuffed bellies the food was amazing. Price was excellent & worth every penny. Staff was friendly & accommodating. Definitely worth a visit!

The service was very friendly and nothing was too much. The chef even sourced some BBQ sauce for our little one. The food came out quick, hot and tasty. The pies were amazing and the fish was fresh and yummy. Highly recommend.

Went there Saturday night with my friend, food was quickly served and tasted delicious. Service was lovely too and everyone really did their best considering there's so much rubbish going on in the world right now. Staff were so upbeat and atmosphere was really nice. Don't have anything bad to say at all - will definitely be visiting again! Thank you so much Tuckers Arms for such a nice evening!

If you read my previous review, you'd notice that there was a slight glitch in the service I received, which was something I hadn't expected.I tried to make the owners aware of the issue, via email and direct message via Tripadvisor, but to no avail, so ended up resorting to snail mail. I received a superb response from Tracey McGowan, who went far above and beyond any reasonable expectation to resolve my issue.To that end, my wife and I returned for Sunday lunch and had one of the best Sunday Roasts in a long time. It was lovely to see a slow cooked beef and a rare beef option on the menu and, for my taste buds, the only thing I could possibly ask for is that they do a slow roast Brisket, as that's my favourite.Great to see a super pub quickly return to top form... not that they dropped very far and we will be back soon.

I discovered the Tuckers Arms on Trip Advisor as was looking for somewhere to eat on a Monday evening. What a great find! Amazing historic pub with loads of character. Our table was right next to the Inglenook fireplace which was lovely. Very good choice of food and superb service made for a lovely evening. So impressed, we went back to explore the countryside around Dalwood the next day which was lovely. Highly recommended!

We booked the restaurant for an evening meal on Sunday whilst we were staying in the area. We were met at the door and the current covid arrangements for dining were explained and the restaurant are NHS track and trace compliant with a QR code on each table. It is an typical country Inn with a thatched roof and parking is OK but limited on the front car park, but you can park on the road.The staff were excellent and explained the menu, we both chose the beef Sunday roast and I have to say it was easily the best pub Sunday roast I've had. Meat was tender and great selection of vegetables, portions were good and we were both stuffed but did manage a pudding which again was excellent.Overall a lovely place and great food, with excellent staff and highly recommended.

We went for lunch as a family. Given the COVID circumstances we thought the welcomer and service were very good. The menu looked interesting, and we had been primed that fish was a speciality. One of us had a very nice meal, but I had a very disappointing dish in which the flavours clashed horribly and the fish was very over cooked. We would give it a second chance though because of the setting and the friendly staff.

THE best roast I have ever eaten! I went with my son on the last night of our walking weekend and were looking at the menu when the lovely waitress said they had a roast beef on offer which we both chose. I had a the crab and prawn starter which was excellent. But then the roast turned up and it was simply delicious with a large selection of veg all which tasted equally delicious especially the cauliflower cheese. My son had a desert and chose the cherry jam and almond sponge pudding with vanilla ice cream. The whole meal was absolutely fantastic. Great service and good ales. Can not recommend this place enough. The whole meal came to £61 with the roast costing £15 each. It is a rare find and I would recommend people go out of their way to find this lovely pub. In terms of Covid they were fully compliant with scanning your app on your phone with QR code.

A little disappointed in the choice on the menu staff were very pleasant and attentiveness but disappointed with the over all meal pork belly more fat than meat and veg a mix of frozen and fresh and meals that dont stand out not some thing I would rave about. Nice to sit outside with slight heating but the chairs and table made it a very uncomfortable meal to eat. Value of meal was ok but dont expect your change to be returned to make it your own dicission to tip as that choice was made by staff with not receiving back the difference of 6.90 it was just taken so for us it's a 6 out of 10 on this visit not likely to recommend to others

Stayed in Axminster for a week and ate here twice during our stay. Pre booked our table. In a party of 4 adults, all have lovely food on both visits, all had different meals on both occasions. I have a diary intolerance and they had a vegan cheese cake and ice cream on the menu which is definitely worth a 6 hour drive for alone. Orange marmalade served with a chocolate creme brûlée desert was delicious if only the chef would sell in a jar! Child friendly too with a choice of food for children on request. Would highly recommend a visit here. We will be going back!
