The Union Inn in Teignbridge

We love visiting The Union Inn when we stay at moretonhampstead x massive portions 👍

We visited this pub earlier this week. Very quiet being a lunchtime in the middle of the week, but a full menu was being served and we were made very welcome (including our dog). We had lamb chops and a proper home made steak and kidney pudding served with a variety of vegetables (mash, cauliflower cheese, carrots etc). All were excellent. On chatting with the very friendly staff we learned that the wide selection of pies on the menu plus the pudding and no doubt the majority of the menu were made on the premises. So no bought in catering stuff here, just honest to goodness home cooked food served in proper portions. If you are in the area don't hesitate to eat here, you will not regret it.

During summer holidays best to book. Great pies and good value.

Beautiful place staff was amazing 👏 🤩 so clean and polite 😍 it was the first time there, food was amazing 👏 one of the best food we have had will definitely 😀 going back and will be telling my friend 🧡

The best pie I think I've ever had in a pub and the wife ploughman's could have easily fed two grown men. Couldn't recommend the food highly enough

Good variety on the menu, really well cooked, huge portions, all at a very reasonable price. Staff were lovely too

Brilliant pub, lovely old building, very friendly. Portions are huge and great quality - we had starter and mains, couldn't fault either and couldn't finish main as was huge. Drinks good prices. Friend paid complements to the chef as pie was the best he'd ever tasted! Thoroughly recommend.

Frank at the Car Museum told us it was the best food in town and he was right. Great food and an excellent service, made to feel very welcome. My husband had the small roast, heaven knows how big the normal one would have been, and I had fish cakes which were delicious. Our only complaint was that we didn’t have enough room for dessert.

Good prices, great food. Well worth a visit. 😀

We were looking for somewhere to this lunch time . A man out side said the food was lovely. So we gave it a go As it was Sunday it was a carvery One of the best I have had for a long time . Definitely give this place a try .

Whilst heading up to the moors today we decided we might be hungry. So, as it was a Sunday, I googled places to eat in Moretonhampstead. The second place on the list was the Union Inn so I called up and spoke to a very friendly lady who booked us in. In arrival at the Union Inn it looked really small from outside, and the front bar also looked small with no sign of anyone eating! The friendly barman directed us down a hallway to the back of the pub and we were suddenly in what felt like the equivalent of a small village hall. Lots of people eating big Sunday carveries. Service was quick, the food was piping hot with generous helpings of meat & trimmings then you helped yourself to lots of choices of veg and gravy. The food was delicious & after clearing most of my giant plate I was too full for dessert. This is a charming tardis-like pub with good home cooked food & friendly service. We will definitely make a point of coming back. We didn’t try the rest of the menu but it looked good & was really reasonably priced.

We were just passing and saw the Carvery sign outside. Called in on the off chance we could get the said Sunday Carvery and was very pleased that we did. Greeted by The landlord (Dave, I think) Lovely, nothing to much trouble. Lovely carvery. Had a lovely chat and realised we knew people from years ago. The food was excellent, the service and friendliness from everyone was lovely. An all round lovely pub. Would be using it if it was my local. Will definitely be calling in again next time we're over that way.

Good pub. Nice feel to the place. Friendly staff and a fair selection of beers and drinks. Good pub food and happy servers. Parking is a little tricky, but you'll find somewhere to in town. Prices reasonable for pubs these days

Excellent meal served by friendly and welcoming team, even though the pub was very busy and they squeezed us in. Fabulous!

Food is lush, atmosphere was great as well

Thanks lovely ladies at The Union Inn. Welcomed with cheerfulness and great, efficient service. We nipped in for a lunchtime sandwich but the menu is so extensive we decided to choose main dishes. All really tasty and proper portions. Good prices. Steer clear of the posh places round the corner and come here instead. A real warm and friendly English pub. And the farm cider is perfect. X

Some of the best food you can get in town! Great price, quantities, food and service!

Great pub , large varied menu with excellent value for money meals. Large portion , good quality , well cooked & presented If we are in the area we would definitely visit again

Brilliant pub. Food excellent, beers good and staff friendly and all reasonably priced. Look forward to our yearly visit. Good locals pub x

Once again, a brilliant Community Lunch at the Union, where else can you get quality food & service for £9.50/head for 2 courses+coffee. This high quality of food, service and value for money is carried over day to day, where you get a vast menu running to 3 A4 pages. We have been visiting the Union regularly for almost 9 years now, and apart from one occasion when we had to wait a little longer than usual, we have never had a complaint. Well done, Sian, Dave & Staff. Wendy & Peter

We weren’t sure what to expect from the Union having read one or two average reviews on Trip Advisor. So we entered with fingers firmly crossed…… What we go was a really friendly welcome from lady behind the bar and a group of locals. Having already had a large lunch thought we’d not eat too much but the excellent menu tempted us to have a Hunters Chicken and Lamb Chops. Both came with chips, onion rings, tomato, and peas. So much for a small meal -both were huge and delicious and we managed to eat the lot! Next time we are in Moretonhamstead we will beat a path the the Union and maybe next time we’ll manage a pudding as well!

We went to the Union Inn following a ringing mini tour, chosing this venue owing to our good experience on several previous visits. As usual we received a warm welcome, the food was excellent, promptly served and the staff helpful and attentive. Unfortunately, as we were preparing to leave, one of our party, who has a heart condition became unwell. Two of our party who are nurses, responded to give her assistance when she collapsed. The landlady also alerted a fire and rescue first responder who was on the premises, and an ambulance requested. While Care was being provided, the landlady also supplied us with towels and a receiver for vomit and ensured dignity was maintained. Once recovered enough the landlady also assisted us to get our friend into a car, as no ambulance was available. Once I had arrived home, from the hospital, I realised that I had not paid my bill, so rang the Inn. The matter was quickly and easily resolved by making a card payment over the phone. We are most grateful for thu service way beyond expectation.

Excellent value for money. Have been several times. Never fails to amaze. Portions if anything are too large. Highly recommended.

One of the best Sunday roast carveries I’ve had so far. Only called in on the off chance….very impressed with the quality and taste and value for money.

Such great value and lovely inhouse service from a friendly helpful gentleman, I would highly recommend and hopefully we will get back as we are travelling through.

That's the best pie I think that I have ever had! Tremendous -all you could dream of and as the headlining act the pie was par excellence. The supporting acts, the chips, gravy and veggies also came to the party. Superb service and banter with the regulars too.

The variety on the menu is vast! Eaten there many times and keep going back. The quality of the food is great and incredible value with huge portion sizes. Well worth a visit.

The food was excellent and very reasonably priced, and a meal deal gives a sweet at half price. The Treacle tart was absolutely delicious best ever. We highly recommend this pub.

Another great lunch at this wonderful pub.

Nice carvery had today. Generous meat portions compared to a more generic carvery brand i could mention. :)

A proper pub serving very good food, I had a delicious and substantial Sunday roast. Pub is comfortable and nice atmosphere. The lady serving was very helpful to my partner who needed to know what was vegan on the menu

Great menu choice. My son and I had the mixed grill and my daughter the roast lamb. It came on a massive plate full so much food and very tasty couldn't eat it all. Host and staff very friendly. Will recommend to all. Will be going again next time I'm passing.

Another excellent meal at the Union Inn, very good value for money. Will certainly go there again and recommend to others

Food was excellent, pie of the day chicken plus veg and chips was excellent. Can't wait to get back again on pie day . Just hope the log fires lit🤞👍 Staff were also excellent 👍

Popped in as passing & ordered a Sunday roast ( they very kindly let us order, even though we ordered after 2.30pm) and I’m so glad we did! Best roast we’ve had for a long time. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious carvery be sure to book as we were lucky to be squeezed in.

We don't go out for meals, as we are always disappointed but decided to give The Union Inn a go and we weren't disappointed. Quick service, food hot, very tasty, ample serving plus the staff were very polite and accommodating. Would definitely go back when we visit Moretonhampstead in the future.

Stopped off for lunch last Wednesday .A real find-a proper pub doing really good home made food and plenty of it.A cosy pub with a nice fire and friendly ,welcoming atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Would definitely go back when we are in the area again.

What a find!! Stopped off on route for a quick light lunch. Service and food excellent. The Bar Lady was so friendly and helpful. Menu extensive and food delicious. Came very quickly too. Roaring fire and so comfortable. Loos pristine. Will definitely go back when next in the area.

This is a superb traditional pub restaurant on Dartmoor. Service is good, friendly without being fussy. We had the Xmas pie and the steak and ale pie. Both were home cooked with shortcrust pastry. The accompaniment of vegetables together with mashed potato and chips were perfect. I would go out of my way to dine here again

Really nice pub food .friendly service good atmosphere.except the owner is arrogant and not really friendly we have been there quite a few times and get know acknowledgment not even a Hi from the owner nice to see you so will not be going back ever . the staff are really nice food is good, we know when we are not welcome by the owner ,

Had a work Christmas meal can't fault any of it,the beef was excellent defo go back

Probably the most traditional locals' pub in Moretonhampstead. Cosy public bar with coal fire. An excellent dark real ale at an acceptable 5.1%. Family owned proper freehouse. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

We have just had the most amazing lunch at The Union with our friends. It's our favourite meeting place. The pies are always outstanding, today we chose the Christmas turkey, sausage bacon and stuffing pie. It was fantastic. Full to the crust. The gravy was amazing too. The boys had steak and kidney pudding which again was fabulous. Needless to say we didn't have room for dessert this time. Never disappoints.

Great little town centre boozer doing good trade

Their food was super duper excellent with large portions. The prices of food and drinks are fantastic. I highly recommend it; far better than a five-star restaurant or hotel.👍❤

Just had a gorgeous meal here really fresh and home made. Lovely bar lady so friendly and sweet. Nice locals having a chat. Will be back. Made us feel we would love it to be our local.

I can't tell you how amazing the food was here and good value 😍 Friendly lovely land lady and generally good local pub atmosphere. Food home made the salad so fresh and best Stilton and cranberry pie ever! We will be back with friends. Magic!

All round fantastic food, service & atmosphere. Value for money. Highly recommended

Fantastic menu service and food

Lovely pub, very atmospheric in middle of small village Moreton. We had the Bubble n squeak with 2 eggs, bacon & beans ( which was lovely) & Emily had a roast beef which she loved, there was so much veg. Very nice pub, great food & service. Highly recommend.

Fabulous carvery lunch with very friendly staff! Will certainly be back...

Amazing food!! Value for money . Went out of our way to visit here …would definitely recommend!!!!

I am on crutches recovering from an operation. Friends took me for lunch at the Union. The lady behind the bar was wicked and good fun. It was a lovely atmosphere great staff great food and plenty of it. Well done🥳🥳

Had a dinner a couple of days ago and the food is very delicious! The environment is very warm and cozy, and based on the fact that it is in a village, you can see people treating each other like family inside the pub, which puts a smile in your face! Recommended if you want a good dinner with good prices or even just a drink! 👍

A rare find in this day and age of expensive gastro pubs - a traditional village pub with pub grub. We visited on a very busy Saturday night - we hadn't booked as we couldn't get through on the phone. We got a table but were immediately urged to order food quickly as they were busy, which I found off-putting as a welcome. The girl serving the food was very friendly, though. Pub was busy and noisy - a real locals pub. Enormous menu which included some home-made items like pies, but much of it was frozen then deep-fried things - I had scampi, my partner had fish cakes. Chips were typical oven chips, not home-made. But the prices were very reasonable - just over £30 for our food and a pint of local beer each. Would we return? Not sure, or maybe on a quieter evening, mainly due to the abrupt 'welcome' and the noise (loud guffawing men). I think the bar staff may just have been a bit stressed and worried about overloading the kitch staff as they were also doing takeaways which, of course, is good news for a pub in a day and age where pubs are shutting down at an alarming rate. We noted that the posher more expensive pub down the road looked very quiet and mainly empty! No parking, by the way, but the local pay and display car park is free after 6pm.

Dined there several times.. traveling from buckfastleigh..never disappointed

Me and my mate stopped here for a meal while on a 3 day hike, the food and the service was incredible. I'd definitely visit again

Such a great pub and such great food. Joan and Jeanette ....we LOVE you!!!

Great food at reasonable prices, served really quickly. Fantastic.

Great value tasty food as always. Huge portions and we love the homemade pies.

Pub tres sympathique avec une ambiance familiale tout comme les plats qui étaient d'ailleurs tres bon et copieux. Serveuses sympathiques et service efficace. Carte présentant une panoplie de plat de toutes sortes.

Cracking Sunday roast at very good prices. Nice polite staff. Definitely recommend.

First class wholesome food to satisfy a hearty appetite served in a nice country pub environment. The mixed grill was ginormous

ALWAYS good food at good prices

Outstanding meal and hospitality. Large portions and speedy service. All home cooked.

The food is really good, the portions are large and the price kept low, great value. Land lady friendly and the place I like to eat the most on holiday, they have not bumped up the prices like so many others in the area. You need to book as quite small and very busy with holiday makers. Shame about 1 opinionated female local patron on Thursday who appears to hate tourists, otherwise great.

Really impressive food menu. Great variety and good pricing.

Stumbled on this place on the way home from a holiday. Will be visiting again, amazing all round.

I am so jealous of the residents living in Moretonhampstead. If this was my local i would use it all the time.

Great place to eat, the food is fantastic or have a drink or two, Dave (chief) and all the staff are brilliant.

The worst restaurant in town. We were in Moretonhampstead for several days. We have been to this pub three times. Have been served extremely badly and unfriendly three times. The ambiance is okay, but they don't want tourists in this place. 

Lovely evening at the union inn, landlord and staff make you feel very welcome and are very accommodating.. food portions are very generous.. suggestion would be not to eat much before eating at the union inn as you most definitely won’t leave feeling hungry!! Will definitely be eating here again!!

I have eaten here many times over the last 15 years, the pub has remained in the same hands for many years. The food is always of good quality and reasonably priced, on the last visit there were 3 good cask ales on hand pub always in good condition. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic food and service. Variety of the menu was incredible. Food was very fresh and tasty. I had chicken and mushroom pie which was first class. Vegetable were to died for. Definitely one of the best in the area. Don’t miss this one.

Good food, great prices, freindly staff.

Another wonderful meal on 25th June. Gammon dish lovellll

Called in today after a run over the moors just as lunches were finishing. However staff were very accommodating and took our order. The mixed grill was one of the best I have ever had. Lovely friendly atmosphere and dog friendly too. Will definitely return.

What a pub! Initially I was a bit skeptical because of the extensive menu, I was worried it was all going to be microwaved food but boy was I wrong. All the food appeared to be cooked fresh and the portions were amazing, very good value for money. There were several dishes that I was very impressed by; firstly the home made pies. They're pretty big and stuffed with meat, I've never had a pie so full. Being handmade on site and with a large variety of pies to choose from you couldn't go wrong. I had the venison, red current and port pie. My 89 year old Nan had the fish pie and she said it was the best she'd ever had. Again absolutely stuffed with chunks of fish and large prawns. Finally the ploughman's, now we didn't have this ourselves but we saw others that did and it looked like a dish fit for a king with the size of it! All the other food we had was excellent but those dishes really impressed me. Well worth going to for a good meal with excellent service and value for money.

Smashing country pub and the best suet pie I've ever had well done and many thanks

Unassuming pub from outside with faded menu. Decided to give it a go. 4 page menu, finally decided on jacket spud, ploughman's for my wife. Good sized portions, excellent quality, staff lovely! If on holiday, find out what the locals know, some of the best quality and value for money food you'll ever have!

Very friendly welcoming pub, pretty busy with good food. Beer garden and bike friendly

Really cosy and full of locals including three dogs. Loved it! Staff were lovely. Food was comforting.

Lovely food, plenty of choice on the menu, good portion sizes and value for money. Highly recommend the roast beef. Service was a little bit slow but it hasn’t put me off returning.

Amazing food, great little venue, portion sizes are hearty. Friendly staff , would defo go again when passing .

Fantastic service - more restaurant-style than pub. Food was really good and reasonably priced.

The Union in MoretonHampstead is our favourite place to eat. With an extensive menu and very good prices you will never be disappointed. The staff are wonderful and nothing is to much trouble. Booking is advised Highly recommended

Excellent food at affordable prices. The Union Inn serves classic pub food and tasty snacks in a classic country pub.

Visited Moretonhampstead many times over the last 20 years but only eaten here several times in the last year. Warm and welcoming staff, friendly locals, good choice of drinks and extremely good food. Traditional pub grub which is sadly missing from many pubs, but not this one. I wish we'd gone there years ago. 😊

Food great and fantastic value. Mine host Dave needs a personality transplant.

A great find in Mortonhampsted. The food was great, inexpensive, big portions and tasty (and we can eat a lot!). Really recommend the pie was really good and the puddings too. Definitely recommend this place.

Stopped here on a wet Saturday lunch time in April. So glad we did. If you want traditional local country pub with an extensive traditional menu then this is the pub for you. Assuming it was the landlady that served us, what a lovely lady. The food was WOW!! I had the fish and chip platter which was fantastic, not at all greasy, nice light batter on the fish. AMAZING curry sauce!! Hubby had the steak and kidney suet pudding with chips and veg and it looked great. Best suet pudding he'd had. Very good prices! We will be back soon for Sunday lunch. Bar had a good selection of drinks too. Well worth the 90 minute round trip from Plymouth. Thanks for a great lunch.

Took my wife to the union Inn and we both agreed that the meal we had was excellent

I'd give it 6 out of 5 if I could. Really friendly staff, lovely bar area, although we are at the back in the converted barn. The food was amazing, we had the small roast, fortunately! Not sure if we could have handled the standard. We then shared a generous portion of chocolate fudge cake, which came with pouring chocolate & ice cream, although other options were available. This was great food at really good prices. Also a great pint of Exeter brewery Avocet & a lovely pint of Jail ale. We've been wanting to meet our friends here for a while as they've said how good it was, wish we had done it sooner. Just be aware, the car park is not in use, but there are 2 public car parks nearby, cost £1 for the day on a Sunday.

As always we are made to feel very welcome.

Magnificent food-reasonable and there is an immense variety of meals to choose from. Very generous portions and the servers are nice! Cozy atmosphere, would definitely recommend!

A Staggeringly good pub. Very friendly staff. Huge portion sizes, I had the Roast Beef, there was loads of it and it was delicious, yorkshire puddings, pig in blanket, potatoes, parsnip, lots of vegetables, stuffing. Very well cooked, very delicious. I then had Chocolate Brownie with honeycomb Ice cream. The portion size was large and it was absolutely delicious! Great food and a huge selection, the menu is 4 pages. I highly recommend, one of the best pubs I've ever been in, and the best meal I've had for a long while. The value was also crazily good, for 3 people being absolutely stuffed with thoroughly good food cost less than £60 including drinks.

Our favourite Dartmoor pub. Cosy, historic and beautifully kept. The food is of a very high standard too. Would especially recommend the Sunday roast, a generous selection of vegetables with a delicious gravy and perfectly done beef - other meats and a vegetarian option are...

Didn't visit the restaurant itself but called up and ordered fish and chips to be collected. It was really tasty, chips lovely and both of them and fish not greasy or overcooked, perfect. thank you

Lovely welcoming pub, good menu with classic pub food and reasonably priced. Can't fault and will definitely return regularly
