Union inn in Teignbridge

Came in here yesterday for drinks for my birthday... Decent little place.. Decent larger... And friendly staff... Very Good...

Only popped in for a drink, though the menu and food seen was tempting but wrong time for us. Staff were welcoming. The inside is spacious but a little. As the sun was shining (for once) we sat outside and people watched. Very pleasant.

Visited this lovely pub on a Sunday afternoon and was thoroughly impressed on the experience. The Union Inn is situated in a lovely secluded village. From an extremely warm welcome from Jamie who was an absolute delight throughout our experience of this lovely pub, making sure we were content the whole time. The food and drinks were fair priced, as you can see from the photos the food was as delicious as it looked. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice friendly bit of pub grub.

Come back Tania. Only been left a week. Went into today Sunday lunchtime very dissapointed NO GUINNESS. So left really annoying.

Terrible food. I ordered roast beef sandwich which was supposedly meant to come with Monterey Jack cheese and horseradish mayo and toasted but i ended up getting couple slices if the driest beef in bread not toasted and no mayo or cheese. Honestly was choking trying to swallow it. I got overcharged by £8 on my card and when i went back they refunded me with change instead🤣. My Texan ‘Fries’ which was meant to come with beef chilli and cheese ended up coming with just a slab of beans and tomato salsa in the middle with no cheese and the server had to bring me a dish of cheese to put on top and the so called fries were thick chips. Disgusting disgusting food absolutely robbery.

we have just enjoyed a 5 night stay at the Union Inn on a golf break. A big thanks to management (lovely popular couple) and to staff and regulars for making our stay so pleasurable. The 4 rooms are discreetly at the top of the premises with a well designed seperate entrance. Rooms were spacious clean smart and functional and we are still in disbelief at £35 per night including a breakfast offering that would shame a lot of hotels. yes this a a favourable review but 100% genuine and fully deserved. We will be using the Union Inn again and again in the future

I stayed at the Union with 3 friends on a golf trip to Devon. The rooms are basic but clean and have everything you need including tea and coffee making. Jake and Tanya are great hists and the breakfast is amazing. The pub does high quality food all day and is in a great location. I can't recommend this B&B enough. We will be back next year

Dropped in for lunch today, limited menu so I had the bubble and Squeak with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce with Poached eggs. And it was very good, recommended.

Very spicy mixing options here, friendly staff. Great local spot for all the family to come to. Nice outdoor seating

So good to be able to lunch here again. Same lovely food at good prices. Very friendly welcome. Inside has been redecorated too. Will definitely eat here again next time we are in Newton Abbot.

Wonderful at the Union Back in December Buffet and Live music big crowd down from Exeter and a Hen Party from Chudleigh very busy but you didn’t have long to wait at the bar as the staff were amazing Hopefully will soon be back in the Union in a Friday night.

Had a brilliant night at the union Jeffery The Elvis impersenator and his lovely wife Jude made me feel really welcome at the kareoke fantastic night as the music blard out and the people danced

I'm very happy with food and drinks at the union inn I'm gonna come back in near future me and my partner as the cost and staff are brilliant I would say to everybody in area to check out the pub because I enjoyed my self it was karaoke last night and was the best time i had in a long time Jack and tania brilliant managers and this place is going places

We had not visited the Union for quite a while as we live a few miles away. However we found ourselves in Newton Abbot and decided to visit the Union, we were well impressed, positive changes had been made. New owners and a new bar manager, they kept the chef. The Roast Lunch was absolutely excellent.

Came in for some food with my son had a really good time staff and managment made me and my boy feel real welcome and always made sure our visit was going good will highly recommend to anyone definitely coming back

Me and my 6 year old boy always stay here. He loves it there. The food is good the staff are brilliant really nice people. The rooms the hole place is very clean and tidy. If you go to devon i definitely recommend that you stay here like i said me and my boy love it there

Ate with friends, meals were served warm not hot, jacket potato was cold and hard inside, long wait for service for drinks.

I went to the Union Inn in Newton Abbot on 27 November, where I ordered a small cod and chips. It was reasonably busy, as it is on Wednesdays because of market day. Time was getting near for my bus, so they asked me if they could put it in plastic tubs for me to takeaway. They even gave me the cutlery. When I got on the bus and ate it, the taste of the fish is top quality - fresh fish like the freshness of the fish you would smell in any fish market. I will definitely recommend it. Perhaps a little pricey, but we'll worth it.

Used to vidit this place often when visiting family. Food was always lovely and homecooked. Unfortuatley this is not the case any more. Bland at best. Such a shame.

New regime, so we decided to give it a visit, chatted to locals, holiday makers and residents, all talking to each other and us, what better welcome could any customer wish for? Friendly and informative staff.

Went to the union today as they have new owners and a tasty new menu, took a while to decide.

Have visited on many occasions. The most recent was just a drink stop. However on many previous visits have enjoyed a wonderful breakfast bap.

We popped in after a shopping and was really pleased, as great food and reasonably priced. It is a typical pub with pool table, dart board and music TV which added to the atmosphere of a great British Pub, we really enjoyed our visit and we certainly will visit again

Nice, quiet , very friendly pub. Meals are cooked fresh and roasts are lovely. Good choice on the menu at reasonable price.

I love this pub. Great food and lovely bar staff. Always up for a laugh and the live bands every Saturday are brilliant. Cant recommend enough.

We're regulars on a Sunday ... have been for quite a while. Always a warm welcome and never a problem with anything .... we have a little table put aside and it's always there, ready. Staff are lovely and the food's fine. Reasonably priced and a nice selection. A bit unusual too - bubble and squeak with a choice of things to go with it - or the omelette makes a change from Sunday Roast .... always nice.

Had an evening out with the wife, sister-in-law & brother-in-law. Felt really uncomfortable like a fight could kick off at any moment and it smelled like the drains needed unblocking. We won’t be going back in a hurry.

I went there with a friend for a snack we had sandwiches the bread was fresh and was well presented with a side salad was very impressed with it and would go back again. The staff were friendly.

We had a great roast dinner here today! It was piping hot as well which was good & very efficient service & a nice welcome we had too! We would definitely recommend a visit.

had a great meal here and they do a roast every day should you want one. efficient and friendly service would recommend.

Popped in for quick lunch. Was busy with mainly oaps presumably for the roast dinner which did look nice. Tomatoe soup was so full of chilli I couldn't finish it. Wasn't crusty bread but two thick slightly stale slices of bread which I ate cause we were starving. Hubbies curry was ok but nothing special. Beer was like water too. Barman hardly spoke and had no personality. Decided not to moan but just leave and ate elsewhere.

Dinner time visit before the Races. Town was packed but found spaces available in what I would a character Town pub. Superb variety of freshly made pub grub at very reasonable prices. Good sized portions. Pub frequented by a lot of Over sixties which is always a good sign of a popular good value venue. Décor dated but doesn't take away the overall real pub charm.. Staff pleasant and attentive. Real ale on tap and had my favourite Dartmoor Jail. Result

Visited this lovely, friendly pub on August 3rd. Had a light lunch because we were going out in the evening for a birthday meal. Portions on the 'light bites" menu were quite large and beautifully cooked. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely be back although we live quite a few miles away. In my first review I made a mistake and gave a 1* but I would actually give it 10*!

All food cooked on premises. Service good but premises are a bit crowded. Booking advisable as it is very well used by Local people

We decided to go to this place for Sunday lunch. What a find. I did read the reviews before I went and I agree about the décor, but the food was out of this world. It was good all round home cooking. It wasn`t fancy, just good cooking. It was hot and it was lovely. We cannot prise it enough. The staff were friendly. It was quite when we went but we don`t worry about that. The prices were very good. We even had a pudding. We will be going back. Great.

We visited when Shovel-Head were playing and it was loud but not too loud. They served alcopops and I had a WKD. It had a nice atmosphere and felt like a nice place to stay for a few drinks. Close to the centre and lots of other bars too.

There are a lot of pubs in Newton Abbott and on a Monday night a lot of them are very quiet / closed / empty but this place had a bit of life to it. Friendly staff, decent beer but deafening music and large screen tvs, harsh lighting might not appeal to all

Really lovely pub food, nice choice of meals from breakfast to lunch. Friendly staff and very good value.

Went here not knowing what to expect. The food was fabulous, down to earth, nothing fancy. Loved it.

We went for an early breakfast before a weekend away and all four of us were pleasently surprised by the amount and even more the quality of the food and the service. Whilst there we saw a flyer advertising Christmas Lunches so decided to book up and see how it matched up to the breakfast. On the day of our lunch we arrived a little early for drinks and to check the atmosphere of the place. Brilliant!! Shown to our table the food followed promptly and was very very good. I can only recommend on my experience and those of my party but give it a try.

Popped into this little pub for the first time looking for somewhere for lunch seemed very busy nice sign as the day was a Monday so we gave it a try there was three of us all had a roast dinner it was great staff very friendly in the area again will definitely head for our lunch

Popped in at lunchtime for a snack and a break from shopping. Had excellent Tomato Soup for £3.50

My Auntie and Uncle vist the union weekly and invited us to join them. I was reluctant because I am gluten and dairy free. We had a warm welcome and I was told that it was no problem they had gluten free gravy and would...

This won't win any prizes for decor or cordon blue but serves a really tasty roast with plenty of vegetables, meat a little sparse but tasty gravy and all at a very good price. Gets quite busy and has a good choice of traditional fare on the menu plus a small specials board. The pub is very basic although they make a tremendous effort with the floral displays outside. Service was very quick and friendly with good choice of large pots of sauces to go with your meal. Landlord keeps a good cellar too, beer was just right.

If you are looking for nice décor a trendy new age pub don't stop here .If you want a decent pint good friendly service and proper pub grub at excellent prices this is the place for you .

On our first visit I Newton Abbot we searched for somewhere for lunch, unsure where to try we stumbled across...

Went to newton Abbot for the first time with my husband we seen this pub passing so took a chance...

Looks wise the Union is probably a lot more appealing than most pubs in Newton Abbot in terms of the furnish, it's a lot more modern. However the atmosphere is pretty stale, no music. It's more like a cafe. The few locals at the bar also look depressed and unwelcoming.

Habitaciones limpias y sencillas. El desayuno es excelente. Todo por un precio muy bueno. Fantástica ubicación, justo en donde los bares y restaurantes.

Excellent pub grub and good value for money. Would definitely recommend the Union to anyone who loves going to a traditional pub that hasn't gone down the food only route at the expense of the drinkers.

excellent value carvery. Rang at 1pm on a bank holiday Sunday to see if they could accommodate 14 and was told to come in at 2pm, A lovely generous helping of meat with a good range of vegetables to accompany it.Excellent Tribute bitter to complement it

Quality establishment with brilliant staff offering fantastic value for money in both the food side and bed and breakfast. Brilliant selection of real ales and spirits. Top notch like entertainment with live bands every Saturday night. And karaoke Fridays. Bit of every thing for every one of all ages.

We was visiting Newton abbot for the 1st time today. Walked past this pub thought it looked nice so called in, after viewing the menu which had a good choice and very reasonably priced we decided on all day breakfasts must say it was lovely would return and recommend.

I visited the Union Inn on a Sunday lunchtime and ordered the medium lamb roast - it was absolutely gorgeous - I had 6 different vegetables, all beautifully cooked and a good old fashioned meaty gravy - none of this tasteless, watery "jus" masquerading as gravy that restaurants dish up these days

After Wetherspoons changed their menu and stopped serving Sunday Lunches, we had to find a good local replacement. The Union Inn serves a cracker, a choice of meats in 3 meal sizes, mine, a medium had 3 good slices of beef, a Yorkshire pudding, 7 vegetables and gorgeous gravy. All served piping hot, with a smile and NO washing up.

Went for lunch, with our dog. Great pub food, check out the specials board. Food was hot and delicious. Just off the top of the main shopping area, so convenient. Call in, it is worth a visit.

Lovely roast lunch. Very reasonable price. Delicious dessert. Very friendly atmosphere. I recomend this pub.

Dropped on a Sunday morning for breakfast. If you want a freshly cooked full English at good value this place takes some beating.

lovely food lovely people and lovely atmosphere, used by locals always a good thing, I live nearby and didn't realise how good it was for home cooked food etc, good choice of beers and definitely worth a visit or two

Have visited this town centre pub many times for lunch. They do breakfasts from 830 to 1130 and the lunch menu operates from 1130 to 1400. The pub has great character as a town centre pub and a nice atmosphere. There is a fixed menu and a different daily specials board. The food is excellent and some meals have a choice of large or small portions. The meals are very good value for money. They also have a good selection of great guest real ales and they are kept in excellent condition-they must have an experienced cellar man. There are about 25 tables and it is a advisable to book on Market day Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.

Popped into the Union Inn for a Gin and tonic. And it was superb, all the trimmings. Full of locals but as a woman on her own, I felt very comfortable. Great decor and atmosphere, will be back.

a kind lady of newton abbot told me about this place when I asked her where the best eateries are saying the food is great and are reasonable prices we enjoyed the food and will be back again to try more so glad to find this special place the staff were great ...

I always visit this pub for breakfast if I have an early appointment any where.The staff are very friendly and will cook what ever you want.I always have the vegetarian breakfast it is cooked to order so always fresh and piping hot and very tasty with plenty of it on the plate.They do other breakfasts too. A full English, A Big Breakfast, An American Breakfast, Breakfast Baps, Cereals, Toast and Scrambled Eggs On Toast so plenty to choose from to settle any breakfast platet.The price for my breakfast that also has a slice of bread and butter with a cup of tea with it costs £5.85 so a very well priced breakfast.I have not yet been in for lunch or dinner but hopefully I might be able to visit there for any of those two in the future.A lovely little pub that offers tv flat screen viewing plus I would think live football matches on so a lovely place to visit if you are hungry or thirsty.

Visited the pub for a drink , although at the time only locals in there propping up the bar , nice pool table bar lady said darts teams also & two tvs with sports channels , nice pub

New Year's Day lunchtime (a Sunday). We'd called to reserve a table and it was ready for us on arrival. The previous night (New Years Eve ... a Saturday night) must have been manic there...I could hardly hear the staff member who took my phone call due to the incredible background noise. But by Sunday midday they were all back to normal and no debris or evidence of unconscious revellers :-)Plenty of choice on the menus and boards. We went for the large Sunday Roast. Came up quickly, brought by pleasant and efficient young lady. Cracking meals...nothing to complain about at all. Plenty meat and good selection of fresh veg. Hot plates. Very reasonably priced too. Beautifully cooked and presented. The afters are £1.99 !! I had one and it was perfectly OK.It's a local's pub and is neither posh & sophisticated nor down at heel... it just has a nice friendly balanced atmosphere and we felt perfectly OK. Parking's OK - plenty spaces just opposite and free on Sundays. It looks clean and tidy and is handy for the town if that's what you want. Even the music wasn't too loud... and was decent too. Darts board in evidence, plus pool table and a couple of screens but lots of tables to eat at and a traditional bar to lean on if that's what suits you.Am slightly sorry that we've lived in the area for a long time and never been there before. Will definitely return. Thank you.

My partner and I stayed as a last minute plan as we were in the local area. Breakfast staff were rude and miserable, the room was freezing cold, no shower and a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Will not stay again!

We came in on a Saturday afternoon looking for food but the barmaid explained they didn't serve food after 2pm or 4pm on Sundays but recommended us to try the Rio Grande or the olive even offered to ring and see if they had spaces for the evening. We decided to stay for a drink lovely range of real ales, lagers and ciders my friend was in her element with the amount of gins. We sat at the bar with the locals everyone made us feel very welcome, the young lady behind the bar was very attentive even though she was busy wrapping Cutlery, getting the pub ready for the evening and having to get food ready for the men that play football she made sure we had everything we needed a smile on everyone's face, seemed very popular with the locals. We really appreciated the young lady's service and how pleasant she was. However the only downside was the grumpy barman didn't seem to have time or the effort to serve. Didn't quite catch the young girls name! Will be going back especially for a well recommended roast dinner!

Had a lovely, traditional pub lunch at this very pleasant and friendly local inn. Food was plentiful and well presented and staff were friendly, with lots of chat and banter with regulars and a friendly word and smile for everyone. West Country Sausages were excellent, as was the Butterflied Chicken with a choice of sauces. I chose Peppercorn sauce and was pleasantly surprised to be given a gravy boat full. Popular with locals and we'll definitely return. Not plush, but warm and friendly. Recommended.

A popular and fairly pleasant pub at one end of the town with outside seating if you fancy it. Had the most expensive Guiness for a long time - £4.00 pint. Nice as it was I will go elsewhere in future .

Just managed to get in, in time for lunch,. They stop serving at 2pm, the meal was quite nice, staff were nice and polite

A town centre pub which, despite a small kitchen, consistently provides top notch, piping hot lunchtime meals at very reasonable prices. Daily roasts, including lamb, in four sizes to suit every appetite. Great gravy and roast potatoes with a good range of other vegetables. Puddings at £1.99 are generously sized. As a busy pub there are occasions where service may be a little delayed. Nothing to walk out for though and the serving staff are quite attentive.The menu is varied and quite extensive for a small place. Daily specials are posted and usually include a fish option.

Sunday roast are good value for money with a range of sizes for different appetites. Has sections of pub which look original and on Sunday advise you call and book as can be busy. Pub looks a little used but standard of food is hot and plates come out with little space to spare. Can be a delay in service but worth the wait . Staff friendly and willing to help.

Couldn't fault anything. A great pub, clean comfortable rooms and a knock out breakfast. Unbeatable value at £30 per person.

brilliant range of gin to drink with good pool table . Music was appropriate for the time of day and atmosphere

Been to this pub before for breakfast so decided to go into it for breakfast this time around as I needed to do some shopping afterwards. So after having my early appointment it was a good place to eat.The man behind the bar greeted me warmly and I told him what I wanted. He brought my tea over and my breakfast.I had the vegetarian breakfast and I had a nice lot of food. It was hot and very tasty. The cup of tea I had was very nice too. They do a big breakfast plus an american style on too plus a waffle breakfast you also can have toast with jams etc plus cereal so there is something for everyone with good staff and lovely food it is a great way to kick start your day.

a great pub to eat in. The meal I had was a pork roast dinner, there wasn't a spare bit of room on that plate for anything, and it was absolutely delicious, everything cooked perfectly true home cooking. the service second to " 0 "

I had roast pork. It was OK. Nothing special but edible. Average to good. There was no crackling and the roast potatoes could have been more crispy on the outside and more fluffy in the middle but I am quite picky about my Sunday roast.

Have been coming here for many years and the roast dinner is an institution when ever we visit Newton Abbot and once again we were not disappointed. The turkey was excellent and it was accompanied by no less than eight vegetables - all fresh and cooked to perfection and again was not disappointed. Friendly staff and great value for money.

What a lovely, friendly pub. Very central. Staff are really friendly. Clean and tidy. Normal prices. Food smelled great and was coming out piping hot. All round good

My wife and I thought we would try one of my home -town pubs for a change. no travelling for a change. A long time since I visited the Union Inn , still has the same nice friendly atmosphere. Wednesday is market day in Newton Abbot and has been for many years so worth a visit. Nice lunch time drop - in and handy to the main town. Good and varied selection of meals offered and reasonably priced. Quite busy at lunch time which is always a good sign.Lamb roast was quite nice and good selection of vegetables. Service was quite quick and the meal arrived hot which is a plus. Maybe not five star but good sound value and worth a visit.

One of the best roast dinner I've had locally. Well worth a visit as everything is fresh and a choice of 3 sizes

We had a beautiful full English breakfast here, It was well presented and tasted lovely, the union inn itself is a lovely intimate pub and we really enjoyed visiting well worth a visit if you are in the area.

We called in with the intention of just having a drink and a snack, but soon changed our minds when we saw the food served at the next table! We then studied the menu again which was nothing fancy but good basic dishes that we all associate with the good British pub! We chose the roast lamb. The roast dinner had a choice of 3 roast meats beef, lamb pork. It is also available in 3 sizes standard large and super the prices started at a little over £5.00 I opted for standard and my husband the large! Very well cooked roast potatoe, Yorkshire puds, swede. Peas cauli carrots and broccoli and lots of gravy and mint sauce.friendly staff delicious food and a nice G&T a perfect lunch.

After 4 beautiful weeks in england with only good experiences: the union inn was the place with the poorest service, unfriendly and arrogant owner - after 2 beers he didnt allow us to plug in our mobile phone for charching ... only if we would pay "extra". Never again.

First time in this pub, lovely friendly atmosphere, and the Sunday roast was to die for, will definitely be returning in the near future.

Went on a damp rainy day, looking for somewhere dog friendly, no problem. We were welcomed in by the staff. We had intended just to have a drink and warm up. When we read the menu we knew we had to have a meal. I had the steak and kidney pudding, what a good choice, it was excellent. The place looks drab from the outside, but do not be deceived. Will go again.

I'm absolutely astonished to stumble across by accident "the best Inn" in town (Newton Abbot) After having extreme difficulty, and struggling to find a decent, welcoming Public house/hotel/B+B I strongly recommend and can not stress enough to anybody thats looking for suitable accommodatioN or who are just simply looking to enjoy themselves. Go and have a chat to Carl the Manager or any of the members of staff that I found wonderfully friendly, pleasant, accommodating, considerate, thoughtful, cooperative, benevolent, and i can go on lots more....! The food was absolutely outstanding, well presented,and served with a smile. My room was clean,presentable and relaxing, and the entertainment at the weekend was great also. Fantastic mini break... Thank you for all your efforts guys keep up the hard work..!

Had a breakfast at the Union the best breakfast I have ever had it was as much as I could eat In the old type of Inn but up to date and very clean very friendly staff will Definitely go there again

We visited this friendly little pub today after not being able to get into The Horse and Hounds. So glad we have found it. The food was really good, fresh vegetables, Nothing overcooked, tender meat, the portion was really generous. All served piping hit and with a smile. The place was full which says a lot for the quality and value of the food. We just managed to squeeze in a spotted dick and custard ! Meal for two with a drink each for just over £20.00. I can see this may become a regular haunt.

Booked a meal for my son's 18th , the service, food and prices were spot on .My son (who has a very large appetite) went for the full rack of ribseven he couldn't, finish it. We will be back.

I had some relatives stay in the b&b recently not the greatest of experiences to have when you are down to visit! Heating was switched off during the night so they were freezing, window in the room was jammed slightly open which they couldn't shut. This put a dampner on the short break. You walk out in to the bar from upstairs, so just some advice for the locals glaring at strangers when they come down isn't a good look next you see someone you don't know maybe a nice smile instead as that would be far more welcoming...

I always stop for lunch here when I visit Newton Abbot as it does the most brilliant roast dinners. I always have a small roast lamb and it's plenty big enough for me. The pub is busy and has a good vibe, it is also popular with the older generation who know good home cooking when they taste it.

Visited with friends who live locally who recommended the Steak and Kidney Pudding which is one of the Union Inn's specialities. It was truly great.....the only problem was that I got the last helping and my host had to make do with the same meat and a pastry cover. Good beer and pleasant service too. Highly recommended!

Went there for an all day breakfast. Staff very friendly & helpful & food very good! Couldn't eat it all!Will definitely return

Had a lovely lunch there today with lady friends of a certain age! We were very well treated with friendly service. Pub grub excellent at a very reasonable price and they do a very acceptable bottle of rose. Also several tables out the front on the pedestrianised street so we could sit outside in the sun. Would recommend when in Newton Abbot.

went to the union today, lovely roast dinner, but have to say the homemade bakewell tart is to die for, top Mark's to the chef,

A few months ago our daughters 'flew the nest' and Sunday lunch seemed a lot of effort for two......we came across the Union Inn and haven't looked back! The quality of their Sunday lunch is unbeatable. It is all freshly cooked and fantastic value with at least four or five different vegetables. There is also a wide and full menu with a separate 'Specials' board. Newton Abbot's best kept secret!

We live in Newton Abbot and have used this Inn for food on a number of occasions and are always impressed with the quality of the food and the variety on offer. The breakfast menu has a number of options , so if A full English is not your cup of tea ( excuse the pun ) your sure to find something to suit your appetite .The lunch time roast is a firm favourite with us, with good portions and great quality food, we have never been let down when eating here, and look forward to many more visits in the future.

Over the years there has been a very mixed bag of chefs etc here. We took a flier and booked a table because we had a free wine voucher. Wow, it was great. The food was superb and at a reasonable price.

This isn't the first time I have visited the union inn, and everyone time I've left I have been extremely impressed. The roast dinners are so fresh and a wide variety of seasonal vegetables. The most recent time I come in with my wife for breakfast and it was the best I had ever tasted.
