We went for Sunday lunch 24th November. Without doubt the best roast lunch we have ever had. First there was a warm welcome at the bar. The meal was first class and plenty of it. Service was outstanding and friendly. I should have reviewed this in the past as all the meals are very good. Check before you arrivethat they are serving food as they only cook on so many days per week. That said there food is worth waiting for. Thank you all.

What a superb Sunday Lunch. Too many flavours to mention. The beef was tender and juicy. I couldn’t name a vegetable that was missing. The service was excellent and their attention to detail was spot-on. Returning for a repeat performance will not be an issue. I wish the new tenants in their quest to continue to secure, and enjoy, this excellent hostelry…. Thank you 😘

Walked in to a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere, a rarity in a lot of pubs these days! Service was good and very friendly, I had the steak which was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing onion rings to go with it! The portions were very generous indeed, maybe a little too generous on the chip front! 🤣 we had a lovely evening here - thank you!

Popped in to this traditional Inn for a late Sunday lunch after a morning in Tavistock, just a few miles away. Most tables were showing reserved signs so we were unsure we could be accomodated. We received a lovely warm welcome from the bar man who found us a brilliant table. I was relieved that they offered 'small plates' of the traditional Sunday roasts. Orders taken promptly and food delivered after only a few minutes wait. The selection of vegetables was impressive and they were perfectly cooked. Even an extra jug of gravy. HUGE Yorkshire pudding! Really one of the best Sunday roasts I've had in a long time. Attentive service with a smile from all staff and a surprisingly reasonable final bill. Highly recommended for food quality and cooking, service, value and atmosphere! After lunch we found a well equiped rural childrens play park very close by which was really helpful prior to the journey home. We will be sure to return!

This place is so lovely! The most welcoming staff, and a lovely atmosphere in the pub. We were only visiting the area, but it was clear that the locals were all having a lovely time, everyone was inclusive and we made a few friends. The food was lovely, proper home cooked grub (I grew up in the restaurant industry - this was good quality pub grub!) and the beers were good. We felt very looked after, and they made the dog mega comfy too.

food was really good, when we arrived there were 3 people serving, service was good to start with the waiter brought out the drinks and then the food (which was very good) and said he would be back for second drinks order but he seemed to disappear waited ages, ended upgoing to bar to order second round of drinks , we were going to order puddings but by the time we were offered dessert menu nobody now wanted anything. it was now just one person serving on the bar who was chatting to the people on the bar and no one serving the tables, we ended up not ordering anything else and left early. So good food not so good table service was our opinion.

Our lovely little family friendly local pub. Your greeted with a warm welcome from behind the bar and will be chatting to the locals before you even order your drinks. We only moved to the area in spring 2021 and never had a local pub, so to have such a welcoming place like this on our doorstep makes it even more of a gem. We call ourselves locals now but we were made to feel like that the day we first walked into bar.

This is a gorgeous little country pub with two lovely fireplaces and great decor. The food was good - steak cooked very well and my wife’s steak and ale pie was also a hit. It was a great shame this was all let down by a small group of “locals” who clearly thought they owned the place and were shouting, screaming and swearing at the bar. I’m pretty tolerant (you should see the people I work with)... but this was at 6pm, not nearing closing time. If I’d had a young family I would’ve really had an issue with it, luckily I haven’t any more or there may have been a problem. We still enjoyed it but it was let down by a few idiots... and that’s what they were. Shame really

Nine of us arrived at seven for our annual get-together. The table was laid, drinks quickly ordered and menus provided. Starters for some, more dinks for others and plenty of catching-up discussion. The main courses were very good...the seasonal veg received plenty of compliments and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Desserts were a problem...we all wanted to try them all!!! The chocolate fondant was a triumph. Compliments were passed to the chef and the other staff. We left content and will certainly return.

We noticed they had some great vegan options too and decided to give it a go, we are so glad we did. It’s such a beautiful pub inside, with such a lovely atmosphere. The decor is stunning with beautiful beams and a huge fireplace, the staff are extremely friendly and service was top notch! On top of all this, the food was absolutely delicious too, honestly one of the best pub style meals I’ve had, huge onion rings, beautifully cooked chips and a phenomenal burger! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

We happened to drive past The Whitchurch Inn earlier in the week and thought it looked nice to marked it down for a meal later in the week. I went with my husband, we are both vegetarian and added to that I am pregnant and fussy at the moment! The food was amazing!!! My husband had the mushroom and halloumi burger and I had the spinach and Leek linguine, we also had onion rings and garlic bread on the side. We were absolutely stuffed and very satisfied. Delicious food, one of the best meals I've had out in a long time. I was worried the linguine might be too rich, as I've had similar things before, but it was perfect. The garlic bread was delicious and the onion rings beautiful. I stole a chip from my husband and even that was perfect. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was great considering it was a Wednesday night in a small village out of season. The pub had a real olde worlde charm with beautiful beamed ceilings and a stunning fireplace. Would highly recommend if you are in the area!!

We own a holiday let near Tavy and use the Whitty as a local, although lately less so. Took some friends last week and have to say underwhelmed. Good old menu favourites such as the burger which was always a good fill, served on a board with lots of extras, has been replaced with the most boring plate of burger, plain bun and chips. Three of our party ordered this and were not impressed. Two of us had the belly pork, which was ok but the arty farty looking veg was virtually raw. The Chinese style sauce was clearly out of a bottle. Beer was still good, hence I’ve marked 3 stars, food I would rate as pretty poor. Bring back the old chef! Don’t try and compete with The Cornish in Tavy, I’d rather you served good value, pub grub.

We walked in and received an unwelcoming stare from 3 members of staff who were sat around talking as if we had just interrupted them. The young girl behind bar seemed polite. We asked if food was being served and our request was met with a huff from one of the ladies sat talking who informed us they weren’t going to do food tonight so will have to wait until an hour later. The looks given by the other two sat down weren’t inviting and made us feel uncomfortable. There was no atmosphere (no background music playing etc) just conversations between staff. We politely paid for a drink and left. Would not return and would not recommend.
