walkhampton inn in West Devon

Had an evening meal here heard good things about it. The service was great altho I was disappointed with the food I had a burger off the specials board and the cheese burger fries in fairness the burger was ok missing the horse radish but it was ok the fries on the other hand where soggy and tasteless we ordered pudding after and I ordered apple crumble with custard and out came possibly the smallest jug of custard not even enough to cover the crumble most disappointed

Wow. What a pub. Great beer & awesome service and the food was the best we've had on this trip by far! Going to sneak in another trip if we can! Historic building worth noting too!

Stayed here for a long weekend and ate each night at the pub, excellent food, good value and friendly staff .. if your looking for real pub food and great ales and ciders this is the place for you

Awesome pub. We went there to watch the rugby and then stayed the night. The beer is excellent, the food was delicious and the breakfast the next morning was sublime. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Well worth staying there.

I have been coming back to stay here on business for the last 5 months.. The very fact I have been coming back and bringing colleagues to stay here also means that I LOVE this place 17th century charm meets fab chef with a talent for the best comfort food in town and very cosy rooms. Family run it has all the boxes ticked, friendly staff, dog friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome. Breakfast is a treat if you have a big appetite ahead of all the beautiful walks Dartmoor has to offer. Freshly made, local produce cooked to your liking there is a host of options available. Highly recommend for people with dogs as there is easy access to the outside for those middle of the night comfort breaks! I cant fault this gem and will be definitely coming back - Thankyou everyone at the Walkhampton for looking after me and my little dog over the last few moths!

Best place to eat in the Dartmoor area 💯

Really great pub. They always have an excellent selection of beers and ciders which change frequently, including some good alcohol free options. The food is really fantastic, great value compared to some other places locally and really good quality. The pies and burgers in particular are exceptional.

A decent pub with a lovely atmosphere. Visited here with 3 others for lunch. Warm welcome, excellent service. Good food and ale. I definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Best vegetable pie ever my son loved his steak one in fact went back a few days later recommended to friends and familyfor the same just as good!

Lovey steak week meal, food was excellent. Service really friendly. Specials were discussed. Great selection of drinks too. Proper country pub setting.

Had a lovely stay at the Walkhampton Inn. Food was fantastic and great value. We stayed - the twin room was a little snug, but for the price still good value. Beds were really comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic! Highly recommend the sausages, a highlight of a fantastic weekend.

Great village pub with friendly and helpful management and staff. Amazing food

Don’t be tempted by ‘pie week’. I arrived at 1830 on a Wednesday booking to see that 80% of their menu was unavailable and one of my table members had to take the next day off due to food poisoning. After ringing the establishment to report this back, I was met with a very unenthusiastic apology and general disinterest. Quite a shame

Very disappointing, the service was poor, from ordering our food it took over an hour before we received our meals whilst other customers who ordered after us got there’s first. Then we ordered the 4oz burger topped with bbq pulled chicken, this came out asa chicken burger, no onion rings which others had and the chicken burger and bun were burnt. We also had the coronation chicken pie, the pastry on this was also burnt so it couldn’t be finished. I had the suet pie which was fine apart from the peas were under cooked and cold. We just eat what we could as we’d already been there so long. Not once did any member of the waiting staff ask if our food was ok and after finishing we were left sat waiting and in end went to the bar to pay. Again we weren’t asked about the meal almost like they knew it wasn’t up to standard…. That said I’ve been here before when it’s been busier and couldn’t fault it. Such a shame.

Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere

Great place for lunch. Very busy even on a weekday. Friendly staff. Good upmarket pub menu. We had warm crusty rolls with delicious fillings plus chips and coleslaw - all excellent. Good selection of beers and an excellent selection of still ciders.

An overnight stay with friends. Excellent food drinks and comfortable accomodation. Would certainly use again

Great food and service excellent

Very busy. Food was hot and good amounts. Great value.

Fantastic food and staff! Thank you for another superb stay (our home from home!)

Can't comment on the rooms, but been a few times and really enjoyed it both times! Dirty fries are a top choice!

Lovely little village pub, good food

Had a great lunch today. My pheasant masala was perfect better than any curry shop. The girls fish n chips were fantastic. Well done to all the staff

Excellent food. Exceptionally priced. Ate here three times during our stay. Very friendly and nice atmosphere. The pies were exceptional. The skin on fries were the best I've ever had. Chef needs to work on his ice creams though.

Recently stayed and had a great time. Food was consistently good pub food. A great selection of proper ales and ciders. Reasonably priced food and drink compared to the rip off prices here in Cornwall and i recommend the chilli dirty fries. An beautiful historic pub with a good beer garden with friendly staff just wished I lived closer.

Went for food and we were really disappointed. The chips were inedible as they were so overcooked, the pie was inedible as the pastry was rock hard and the mash was bland and powdery. When we went to pay we were ts we had to pay for it as there was nothing wrong with food, other than the pie being a bit overdone, but the inside was fine, Apparently this is how they serve their chips...burnt and potato-less! But apparently noone else complains about the chips, so that's ok!! Yum!! Enjoy folks!

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere! Really tasty food! We stayed for 2 nights with our dogs. Breakfast was epic - full English which fuelled our walk on dartmoor. Very close to Tavistock and dartmoor if you are bagging tors. The room was spacious with a really good shower. Staff are all friendly and accommodating. There are lots of board games and a dart board which we made use of. Large beer garden too if it’s sunny. Would recommend and we may come back as there are more tors to do in this area!

Staff really friendly and very accommodating. Food amazing . Lovely village pub great atmosphere. Will be recommending to friends and family xx

Lovely traditional pub with great food. We stayed in a family room for two nights. Lovely and light with lots of space for us and our two dogs. Very clean and staff were all very friendly and looked after us so well. Ideal for what we needed.

Went twice last week, for dinner and lunch. We all really enjoyed our meals and thought the prices were very reasonable for what we had. Staff were very friendly and we were really pleased we could take our dogs. Will definitely return.

Came here for lunch, had the steak & ale pie with chips & peas, chicken leak & ham pie and the faggots with mash. In my opinion, the best pie that I know of locally, filled with tender pieces of meat and all reasonably priced. Always a welcoming host, a good atmosphere, selection of real ales and good coffee at this traditional pub. Always had a lovely meal here since I've been coming in the last 6 months.

Came here a few weeks ago by myself with my puppy (who was made to feel very welcome) staff were friendly as was the landlord. Food was really nice, I had the pork and Brie burger and a portion of onion rings with a pint. Will be back!

We went for a meal with another family of four and between us we had our four children with us. The landlord spent the whole evening publicly berating and telling off the barmaid who was working very hard single-handedly to serve a very busy bar. On two occasions he was having a go at her when she was trying to serve us and she looked so embarrassed. She was actually doing NOTHING wrong and doing a great job when the shift was clearly under-staffed. Towards the end of the evening, the landlord sat down and started drinking heavily with his mates and playing a game at the table. He was shouting out and swearing (F***) constantly. To say we were horrified would be an understatement. When our friend went to order a drink from the bar, right beside where the landlord was sat, there was nobody to serve. The landlord carried out on drinking, playing, shouting and swearing with his mates instead of serving his customer. I’ve never witnessed such appalling behaviour from a landlord and certainly won’t be returning again!

Food was dreadful, had fish and chips, chips were not chips but fries and even then it was the dregs of the bottom of the fryer, all of it greasy and unpalatable. Had a couple of scoops of ice cream after to try and sweeten the grease taste. I think it had gone by it’s use by date, it definitely tasted strange! I did not eat it all, my partner then tried it & did not finish it either. The next day followed a high fever, chills, sweats & a very very upset stomach. Ruined our last two days of our holiday. Will never come here again. NOT recommended!

Really nice food. The chicken burger was actually chicken breast and not reformed meat. Only 4 stars as they put three of us on a table more suited to two and it was cramped. We asked to move to a bigger table which was also set for three but were denied.

Just been down to The Walkhampton Inn and had the best steak and ale pie EVER! Friendly, helpful, great choice and my husband was delighted to have some Lupo Juice from The Stannary Brewery in Tavistock. Just an amazing evening, food and drink. You really must try it!

Came here a few weeks back with a couple of friends for a pint . lovely little pub very friendly staff. Food looked great coming past we will no doubt be back again for food at some point! Motorcycle friendly.

Stayed a couple of nights to escape Cornwall and what a find. great home cooked food, reasonably priced and great service from all the staff. Had a few meals whilst there and can recommend the dirty fries, whitebait, cottage pie ... basically all good and...

Fabulous place, food was excellent, staff and owners were friendly and welcoming. The rooms are quirky and oldie worldy with creaky floorboards and great facilities. Relaxing atmosphere with a good choice of local ales and ciders which my husband and son particularly enjoyed. Would definitely...

Friendly, character pub with great homemade food. Generous portions locally sourced. Beer selection was amazing! Played table games with our granddaughters and had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time. Highly recommend the steak and ale pie with shortcrust pastry 😊

A lovely, cosy proper village pub with a convivial atmosphere. Excellent food and local ales with a warm, friendly welcome. Definitely would return in the future.

We are spoilt for choice with some amazing pubs in the Yelverton area. As an expat abroad though, my first port of call when I come home is The Walkhampton Inn. One of the main things that stands this pub out from others is the...

We live about half an hour away and have only recently come across the Walkhampton Inn, and what a find! Each visit has us singing the pub's praises on the drive home - warm welcome, really really good pub food, swift service and hardworking staff....

While in the midst of a major refit still managed to produce a first rate lunch for the four of us served with a smile in a relaxed atmoshere

Visited for an evening meal whilst in Dartmoor. The food was lovely and good value - loved the blue cheese burger. Friendly and efficient staff doing their best to look after everyone. Highly recommended.

Stopped by for a spot of lunch on my birthday today. Fantastic garden out the back, staff always incredibly friendly, service was quick and easy. Ales went down a treat in the sunshine.

Nice warm pub, hidden away in tiny village off the beaten track with difficult parking, but worth it. Good service. Good prices compared to other pubs locally. Crab salad was tasty, also halloumi fries.

We’ve been to the Walkhampton Inn twice in a couple of weeks. Choice of meals is really good . Both visits were delightful, food was amazing and filling, very reasonably priced. Staff really friendly and atmosphere is very quaint. Def recommend. Only downside is limited...

Beautiful pub food, the chips were amazing, we also stayed here, room clean and bed was comfortable! The breakfast in the morning was brilliant to, plenty of choice for the English breakfast, a good solid meal for the day. Staff were friendly and very helpful!

Booked table for 2 earlier same day. Even though pub was busy, this was not a problem!Excellent choice of lagers, ales and ciders.Meals were tasty, although I wish I’d gone for the Steak and Ale pie (my wife had that) - by all accounts, it was fab!Overall, a warm, welcoming pub/restaurant where the service and food were good. We’ll definitely be back!!

Visited to meet up with old friends. Excellt all round. Really friendly, helpful staff, couldn't fault them in any way at all Excellent range of decent ciders. As a coeliac, my meal of choice wasn't suitable but there were others that were, just me being fussy.All in all, a local pub run the way it should be. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Great ciders, yummy looking good. Will return very soon - just keep The General cider in stock please!

We stumbled upon this pub whilst visiting Dartmoor. So glad we did! The waitress was so friendly and welcoming. She mentioned they had some home made pies and we were sold. They were delicious, full of meat and the pastry was spot on. We’ve worked out the pub is 30 mins from us in Cornwall and even though it’s further than we’d normally drive for lunch we have to make an exception for this place. So, as the title of this review says, we’ll be back! Oh and the beer selections are great too which was an added bonus!

Fantastic little coaching inn serving real ales and the usual lagers. Lovely attentive friendly staff.A fellow reviewer said he had a burger and it was the best burger he had ever had, well let me tell you, I also had the burger which was one of the nicest burgers I have had, And I have sampled a lot!The wife had 2 starters as a main, whitebait and nachos which again was lovely.Well worth taking the time out to visit

Very nice inn in a small village but had a lovely meal. Staff were very nice and service was very good

Perfect setting, welcoming little village Inn, friendly staff , food is awesome ....... always a pleasure to stay here.

Very friendly welcome & prompt efficient service. Beers were good & the food was superb, very impressed.

Excellent food, excellent service, highly recommend nothing is too much trouble, great value for money. Good selection of real ales.

My wife and I had a two night stay, this is a lovely little Inn, the staff and owners were very friendly and welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble, they serve proper pub food with a good selection and generous portions. They have only opened as a b & b this year and it is a work in progress, so I can only imagine that the finished product will be outstanding, we will definitely stay again.

We stayed at this B&B for 6 nights. Accommodation was very comfortable and the food excellent. Lots of choice, generous portions and always hot (when meant to be!) A friendly place to be, mainly frequented by locals, with a buzzy atmosphere. Staff were attentive in the nicest way. We ate here 4 out of 6 nights because it was so good!

We rented a house in Walkhampton ,used the pub on a few occasions for a drink and ate on our last night. Food is very good, the pies are exceptional.Staff are polite. ,interested and accommodating at all times. Good selection of beers ,COVID safe with a very efficient waiter service

Really well looked after for a couple of beers! Good beers at that!! Nice beer garden with WI-FI code produced on request, nothing was too much! Thanks guys!

Our first venture for lunch post the latest lockdown. We chose the very busy Walkhampton Inn. Despite how busy it was we were welcomed as soon as we arrived and shown a table by the very attentive staff. Whilst it was a very sunny day there was a strong easterly wind. Our request to move tables was swiftly accommodated. The staff (despite being as busy as they were), repeatedly called at our table to check that all was okay and that we had all that we required. There was a good selection of real ales and lagers. The atmosphere was great with a mix of ages in the pub garden and all the tables full. I alone had a starter (Whitebait). Our mains consisted of two steaks and a Fish and Chips. The food was plentiful and of excellent quality. I requested a rare steak and it was perfect. The chips (triple cooked) were super ("best Ive had for a long time " quoted Mother in Law). Make sure that you are hungry should you go as the portions are generous. The set up was very 'Covid compliant' with distancing, checking in etc. Overall a great experience. My only disappointment was having to leave. Excellent value for money with a starter, three main meals and drinks at less than £70.

After asking friends on Facebook for a recommendation for a dog friendly pub on the moors, we eventually decided to try out The Walkhampton Inn for our first time! Wow... we certainly weren’t disappointed. This place was fabulous! The service was quick and friendly, the food was amazing, and the environment was colourful and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you :) Paul, Nina, Sofia and Wilma the dog.

I've been meaning to leave a review as we have enjoyed quite a few takeaways from the wonderful Walkhampton Inn during various lockdowns. Ordering by phone is easy. Very pleasant staff and landlord. Delicious food. We thoroughly recommend the fish and chips. If picking up food take a face mask. There is ample hand sanitizer provided and good social distancing.

Fabulous landlord , doing up this really nice old pub. Garden is great with lots of tables and chairs , takeaway menu including absolutely delicious pies during lockdown . Have eaten here two or three times , bit out of the way, but worth searching for . Pub was shut for three years and now coming back to life - deserves to do very well !!

We had take away delivery to a friend's house. Normally take away can take the edge off fantastic cooking but not this time. I must say hats off to a wonderful chef. The pies and the burgers are world class. I'm serious. If you are nearby actually no matter how far away you are. Make the trip. Super pub.

We stumbled across this pub but found that it had a really charming and friendly local pub atmosphere which we really miss and such a relief to rediscover. The staff were absolutely wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Beer was a Bit gassy but the pork dinner was nice little bit of a wait. But nice village pub with scenic views of the village

I visited for dinner whilst in the area in business. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. I had baked Camembert as a starter and then home made pork and mustard pie as a main along with an excellent ale. The portions were very good and I could not have fitted in a dessert.I noticed in one review that they complained that their meal was served in takeaway boxes, however this was not the case for me. Everything was served excellently including the coffee.The WiFi was good, and thank you to the bar man for noticing I was struggling to get a signal.The only downside was the rather annoying, boring, loud student on a nearby table of 6 who continued to spout off about how clever he was, and how much he knew, or probably doesn’t know.....I trust that he took note of the high quality of food and service provided by the staff, and managed to compliment them when he left.Well recommended - so long as Mr Knowitalll isn’t there!

In current environment usual menu has been replaced by more limited options, and all food served in takeaway containers, even when eating on site. I understand the covid restrictions make it much more difficult for businesses, but other places are managing with plates and cutlery. Pub refresh also remains a bit of a work in progress. On the positive side, staff were brilliant.

We stopped in for lunch after a walk around Burrator. The pies were delicious. The beer garden was very pleasant. But most of all we had dietary requirement, one person with a gluten intolerance and another with a lactose intolerance, they were brilliant! Many gluten free options and their knowledge of what was lactose free was impressive. The young blond haired girl that served our group was excellent.We will definitely call in again.

Stayed one night and room clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and welcoming. Dinner was very nice home made pie and had excellent breakfast. Would certainly stay again

Fun engaging pleasant staff, quaint pub and idyllic location, relaxing and beautifully renovated rooms too! Been coming here for about 26 years and it remains a lovely little place that always has great food and well kept beer. Challenging times with Covid but you did great and enabled my wife and my elderly parents to share valuable time together - priceless! Thank you all! Nikki, Dylan and Mokey the Goldendoodle.

My boyfriend and I had a delightful stay in this cosy, British pub. We could not fault the staff who were welcoming, helpful and very warming. They went above and beyond making sure we were settled and had everything we needed. The food was out of this world, we both had the steak and ale pie and it was delicious - well packed with meat, plenty of gravy and chips/mash. The breakfast was also highly rated by both of us. The room was spacious, a really comfy bed and unreal large shower. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. We will definitely be back one day!

Stayed the night in b/b very good food and drink spot on . The locals in the bar made the night telling tales and singing .

Stopped for lunch after a walk in Dartmoor. The food was great, fresh and home made. We sat outdoors in the beer garden which was lovely. Very attentive bar staff.

We booked for 2 nights but felt unable to stay after one. The place is not finished. Building and decorating stuff everywhere. Bare light (wires visible) in bathroom. No locks on toilet doors, including public loos. One light switch hanging off the wall. Glasses used by builders-- or someone-- lying around in guest areas. Fecal stains from previous guests in the en suite toilet. Mould on the walls. Damp bubbling the paintwork. Spiders' webs and live spiders in the corners. Out of date marmalade stored on the stairs ("No, we wouldn't serve it") alongside a jar of theatrical list chemicals. I felt invisible in the bar-- "table service only" seeming to be the same as "table service possible". Bar staff stuck bare fingers in used glasses to carry them (in pandemic) and then served food and drinks without washing or sanitising hands. Enjoy everyone else's saliva seemed to be the order of the day. Food was over-seasoned and over-cooked. Toilet was dirty in ensuite when we arrived and the "unisex" (ie the gents) had no loo paper or soap. For women, this means drip-dry before dinner. This, as I say, was a pub having paying guests and serving food and drink at a time of emerging from pandemic restrictions. I did not feel particularly safe eating there. I cannot think that any positive review is an honest one.

Great little country pub in a pretty little village. We were recommended this pub and boy the food was good. They have a great beer garden, tables very well spread out. When we visited, they were clearly having some building works done, but it didn't effect out meal. Though the outside tables were well spread out and were cleaned between customers, the staff were not using any face PPE. Our only criticism is that the food came out in takeaway boxes and wooden cutlery... Still very tasty!

Stayed overnight after visiting The Garden House not far away. Having reopened three years ago the pub seems to be thriving. Accommodation is being refurbished and we stayed in one of the (very comfortable) finished rooms. The takeaway menu was available to eat in on a Sunday evening and we had a scrumptious homemade pie and a tasty burger. The young team were cheerful, enthusiastic and efficient. A definite find and well-worth the detour. Oh, and a good range of ales of the real variety. Fab!

Went for a couple of pints & a pub lunch, very impressed. Much improved beer garden, very nice beer & good food, service very friendly as well.

We had a takeaway from the Walkhampton Inn for Father's Day yesterday (our first since lockdown began) and by golly it was good. The steak and kidney pudding was superb, the oxtail and black pudding pie was divine, the chips were excellent and it was all washed down with a lovely porter. The staff were pleasant and helpful and maintained social distance. This pub is a gem and is trying really hard to provide a good service under coronavirus restrictions. It deserves our support – and if last night was anything to go by I guarantee you will enjoy the benefits of supporting it.

Just had fish and chips delivered from the Walkhampton inn! Amazing! Thank you so much for brightening up our Friday night, we will definitely be ordering again. can’t wait to come and enjoy a pint and some good food in your pub when things get back to normal. Cheers guys!

Looking for a pub to warm up on a Drizzly Tuesday afternoon and this place was open and had a well deserved reputation for beer and had a open fire burningReally friendly owner who obviously has a love of beer and who appeared to have a great enthusiasm for his families pub , beer ,cider and spiritsLooking at the wall of posters they have food theme nights and he talked of the pubs Easter Beer Festival for which he is having some special beers brewed Definately want to return

Had a great night, the food was very good and the quiz was hard. Really good atmosphere and a proper pub feel

Turned up and there was a mix up with our booking which was dealt with efficiently and with no fuss. Thank you.2 small fish and chips and 2 pies were ordered.The fish and chips were really good. Fish tasted fresh and batter was crispy and not greasy. Portion size was perfect.The 2 pies were short crust all round (not a stew with a lid) and were cleared off the plates with enthusiasm. They were proper pies! Chips were skin on and tasted nice.Staff were knowledgeable and friendly.Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great pub, cosy and friendly. Food is very tasty (the pies are amazing!) and plentiful and a good selection of drinks at the bar. Dogs very welcome, we have visited a few times and it never disappoints. Parking limited at the pub due to its centre of the village location but parking is available around the village itself. A definite recommend if you are visiting the beauty of Dartmoor.

Have visited this place about 5 or 6 times now being impressed with the food each and every time, unfortunately the service has let the overall experience down with a rude member of staff manning the bar with an obnoxious attitude and poor behaviour, I suspect down to a mix of poor training and an unhappiness with the job, it is a shame as the food is great but sadly let down by this factor, the last time I visited I was greeted with a very unfriendly welcome combined with an unfriendly goodbye.

Dropped in here for Sunday lunch after a wonderful walk at Burrator. Hospitality was amazing , food excellent (Steak and Ale pie to die for ). Cosy and warm with a very friendly atmosphere .

Love it here. The new proprietors are really friendly. The food at lunchtime today was amazing. The log burner kept us all cosy. The atmosphere was lovely.

A lovely warm friendly local pub. We felt very welcomed and the service was good. Typical pub fare and nice selection of local gin and beers. Nice open fire. A pub that deserves a visit - even if it’s just to take part in the ice cream challenge!

That's why the Walkhampton Inn was busy on a Monday night despite the weather.

Seventeen of us visited this inn for a delicious Christmas meal. The service was friendly and efficient and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Five of us called into this pub last night. It was very quiet but we were given a warm welcome and were very impressed. We used to visit the pub years ago and were sorry when it closed. It deserves to flourish and we shall certainly call again.

We stayed at the walkhampton inn on Saturday night (son on his way to a course) The food was excellent the service was excellent. There were a couple of minor problems with the room these were acknowledged by the owner. I would definitely return

After a period of closure I had not been to this nice old pub for some years. I was greeted by the enthusiastic landlord and enjoyed some excellent fish and chips and some Cornish beer.

My partner and I have recently moved to this area and have visited regularly, on our own, as well as bringing family and friends. We have been made welcome, and have found the service to be top rate.

Visited the pub as we were staying in the area. Dog friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. Food was excellent and good value. I had the steak and blue cheese suet pudding and my wife had sausage with bubble and squeak. Both good home cooked food. Pity it was the last night of our holiday otherwise we would have visited again
