Warren House Inn in West Devon

Lovely traditional pub . Had planned a meet up with friends and this was the suggestion. Google reviews were very mixed so I was unsure what to expect. Well, it was really super. Cosy pub, lovely staff, tasty food. Good value. It's not a gastro pub, it's just a traditional pub with a cosy atmosphere and food to refuel. And surrounded by ponies and sheep.

I went there with my elderley mother, just a small step to enter the bar. We didn't book, but we're shown to a table immediately by friendly bar staff Ordered scampi and chips, which came in a reasonable time. Cooked nicely and a fair size portion. Had one tea and one cappuccino with the meals cost £40

Top: There is also gluten-free food. Very good, with a nice atmosphere. Top price - performance.

Excellent location, on the way to Clappers bridge. Staff was friendly. Food was served freshly prepared, and quite quickly. Highly recommend to visit the place for the beer and food !

Stunning location but equally the warmth of your welcome is not just because of the continually burning fire (an interesting, historical tale unique to this fabulous pub). We ordered food and it did not disappoint, highly recommend. All the staff we met were warm, welcoming and good banter.

Lovely pub in the middle of Dartmoor with some wonderful views.

Stopped for lunch. Good range on menu plus specials board. Staff very friendly

Stopped here whilst on a hike. The location is amazingly positioned on the high moors. There is a good selection of three ales if that’s your thing I tried two and both were well served. We ordered two cheese burgers and a scampi and chips. The quality is very poor unfortunately, with the burger served in a bun that disintegrates and the chips were soft and if a poor frozen quality. I know the location is remote but basic offerings like this should be produced at an A1 level without excuse. That said, the location is incredible so would retry.

Good food, but the location is the thing.

A lovely old-fashioned pub in a fantastic location serving no-nonsense grub at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a pretentious 'gastro- pub' dishing up your meal on a slate or block of wood, then it's not for you! The food arrives on a plate. The Warren Inn is an old pub, exactly as all pubs used to be back in the day - no plush carpets, with non matching furniture and bit worn in places. But that's it's charm. A real throwback to how life was before we all became a bit too civilised.

Brilliant home cooked food nice cosy pub on the edge of dartmoor well priced

Great pub. Always has the fire going. Always has specials on the menu. Staff are always friendly and welcoming even though most customers are passing one timers. Iconic pub. (My brother knew where I was from this photo alone...)

Beautiful location on a fabulous sunny day. We have wanted to visit for years, finally made it today. Food poor and cost top dollar. Worst & plainest Ploughmans ever. Very plain scampi and horrible chips. Soooo disappointed ☹️ But at least we have been now, as I say beautiful location, friendly staff. Lovely old pub, unspoilt.

Good pub food, friendly service

Thanks so much for our takeaway as we had students out camping for Ten Tors. My ricotta lasagne and garlic bread was absolutely amazing!

This is a very historic pub with amazing views and great food. A must experience to your Dartmoor visit.

Beautiful location with friendly staff and the food was excellent, highly recommend a visit.

What a lovely place in the middle of nowhere! We had some lunch there, the food was nice, the service was amazing when it was so busy! The views are lovely!

A very atmospheric pub, the food is standard "pub grub" with a few standout specials that are worth going for. This place is a gem when it's blowing a hoolie outside and you grab a spot by the fire to warm up.

Busy and loud but lovely ☺ and very cold in Jan! Had a Sunday lunch with generous portions (Beef for around £16) Would have loved to try their amazing puddings but was too full! At 12:30 on a Sunday it was very crowded and a bit loud with all the young kids, but the staff were lovely, real fires were fantastic, food didn’t take long at all and aside from the queuing (constantly in the way of people coming and going) it just felt relaxed.

Excellent location. Very busy and parking pull up where you can. Clean. Didn't eat but food looked good. Outdoor tables for the summer but too cold on visit.

Roast beef was lovely! Potatoes were perfect! Rabbit pie was a hit and for a very wet and wild day it was a lovely place to be to enjoy good company and food

Lovely pub. Warm welcome both in greeting and heat! Great food. Not a huge menu but all (i presume) home cooked. Love the fact there is a section separate. States no dogs, children under 11 or wet clothes! We originally booked with 2 dogs but as the weather was typically grim we left them at home. Not the day for walking the moors sadly. So we moved to this quieter area which was great as we could chat better. Roast was scrumptious and all fresh veg n crispy potato's! Great choice of homemade puds which were a good size and bonus of a hot vegan pudding with vegan ice cream. We were not rushed at all and owner and staff chatty. Very welcoming and we will definitely be back.4 adults, 4 mains, 4 puds and 4 pints (soft drinks) £112! Can't moan at that.

Lovely cosy pub on the moors, wonderful warm atmosphere. The soup and cheesey chips hit the spot in an ice cold day .

Warren Inn is on the B road between Tavistock and Moretonhamstead. It’s a cosy inn with several dining areas. The views from outside are amazing. Food and drinks are very reasonable. Dog friendly

Just the nicest place to go for dinner. Lovely staff and atmosphere to go with the lovely food.

Following a walk in the vicinity, I entered the establishment and encountered three visibly stressed team members. The pub was relatively quiet, but all tables in the side rooms were reserved. My partner and three children occupied a large table by the fireplace while I proceeded to the bar to order drinks. During the transaction, a large man behind the bar abruptly stated that children were not permitted in that area. I attempted to explain that we had sought alternative seating without success. He then left the bar in a brusque manner, pushing past patrons to reach the reserved areas. He indicated a small table near the women's restroom as an alternative. Fortunately, another patron intervened and offered space at her table for my children. I would definitely not recommend.

The perfect high moors location for a pub with such history. However, unfortunately there are some very dated landlord rules which discriminate against children (as we were told that our child was not permitted in the bar area and we had to sit in a back room which had absolutely 0 atmosphere nor charm). Establishments which adopt such discriminatory rules should not be supported.

My favorite pub that I stopped at during my road travels. This place is awesome. Check them out!

An absolute treat. I’ve been past many times and always wondered if a pub in such a location can actually be any good. Boy is it! Everything a pub should be and nothing it shouldn’t be. Hard floors and tough furniture (most visitors will have been on the moor), but well kept ale and a really characterful menu. We all had pies; I had rabbit and it was superb. The fire in the public bar hasn’t gone out in over 170 years. Some comments here about bringing children in - I believe the decision to have a no child, no dog area is more pro-people wanting a quieter meal than anti-family. Makes perfect sense. Great welcome, great food, great beer, great location.

A lovely place to visit and the history is wonderful. A beautiful area on the moors.

Could do better.Pie with broken bits of dish 🙈

Drove out here especially for lunch as had read it was a dog friendly pub. Very dog friendly, the guy at the bar very welcoming, recommended the festive christmas beer and the rabbit pie, perfect combination 👍👏 Will definitely do a return visit next time we are in the south west. Thanks

A fantastic vegetarian roast! Atmosphere is wonderful, a must visit if on Dartmoor!

A well loved pub that has not become the tourist trap it could. Warm and welcoming in the winter.

I've always wanted to stop for lunch at this pub as we drive past it whenever we go through Dartmoor. We booked a couple of days in advance, which was good because it was heaving. Fantastic historical pub with unparalleled views. Food was brilliant, I had the rabbit pie, and there was a great selection of drinks. Good service and also dog friendly. We would certainly visit again.

First visit yesterday, met with a lovely warm welcome. Food was super, served quickly and a good price. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you.

Lovely pub. Great views of Dartmoor. Pub is in the middle of nowhere with nothing within a couple of miles each side. Good selection of drinks and interesting history about the place. Roast dinner was a little disappointing. Very crispy, hard to cut, dry roast potatoes, thin meat. Gravy just tasted like bisto and everything else tasted like it was supermarket frozen food. The fresh boiled veg was nice. Partner had rabbit pie, which was well filled and tasty. Chips weren't very tasty.

Lovely pub in a spectacular setting. It’s nothing fancy but still has a cosy feel and the staff are lovely. The food is standard pub stuff (pie and chips and sausage a mash), not amazing for veggie/vegan options but they were accommodating and helpful nevetheless. A lovely place to stop by for food and a drink with a view.

Great pub, really cosy and good food. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Dartmoor.

It's a great pub right in the middle of the Moors. Warm cosy, dog friendly and fabulous food. Great escape after a long walk around the surrounding moorlands.

I know this will be a plus for some, but for us the portion sizes are just ridiculously huge. Always feel guilty for wasting. I also want to go somewhere and experience different things like a starter or pudding but no room, or you waste more to fit it in. I hate wasting food or money. If someone has a huge appetite they can get a starter, side and pudding. I love coming here and bringing people here but we stay for a drink only most times.

Had a lovely roast dinner friendly staff that were happy to help , who ever said don’t put baby in the corner WRONG I sat on the lovely rocking chair loved it , and a long chat to Janet the owners wife .

Excellent stop in Dartmoor. Great fish and chips and Apple crumble. Interesting historic setting.

stoped as we always do, barman not pleased to see us at all,was quite rude and we was the only ones in the pub, wont go again

Lovely food great service , very friendly

Popped in to ask if they would display a flyer for our Santa's on a bike Plymouth ride. Very helpful and friendly.

This is a proper pub in the most spectacular location. Great atmosphere, lots of interesting history and good food! A definite must visit 🍻

Good pub with nice ambience , food is garbage though . See my pic of a steak baguette , shame same pubs ruin themselves serving this .

Lovely place to stop off in the middle of Dartmoor

One ticked off my bucket list and Prince William’s the week before! I sat in his seat and ate the same excellent steak and ale pie as he did! Fascinating history of the pub displayed all around the log fires 🔥 including the one that never goes out. I could stand being snowed in here in the highest pub on Dartmoor reading my book “Professor Harry Parker and the Tunnels of Argonaut Bay” available on Amazon Kindle. A light hearted Victorian romp based around the creation of the Tunnels Beaches at Ilfracombe!

We first came here in 2018. Little did we knew my Late Father in Law, Keith Burling used to love this place as he used to live in Okehampton. After his funeral last week, we all came to Warren House Inn to remember him. We sat on the same bench he did a year ago. Coincidentally when we got there, the same bike was parked right next to the bench that my Father in Law sat a year ago. So that is exactly where we sat and remember him by. Warren House Inn gives the Best view of Dartmoor Park. It is at the centre of the Park, giving the visitors all the picturesque views. The food and the service absolutely top notch!!! I really recommend this pub. Thank you so much despite not knowing why we visited. ♥️

Super “proper” pub. Great atmosphere and good food choice. Service good and friendly and welcoming. Homemade soup delicious.

Lovely pub on a cold wet winters day

Recently visited this lovely pub on Dartmoor, it's a stunning pub in a beautiful area but we had an unfriendly welcome due to having a 4 year old child, the miserable bar man (think his name was Tony) sent us into the next room over which was quiet and dull. We were going to stay for food but didn't stay for long as we felt unwelcome, I'm sure with better staff this could be a place worth visiting

The staff made you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. There is a varied menu to suit everyone. The beef and ale pie was delicious. The food is reasonably priced. Our Springer Spaniel was thoroughly spoilt by the staff that I think he would of stayed! There are various rooms to suit everyone. One for families, plus dog free rooms. We would certainly visit next time we are in the area.

Fabulous Dartmoor pub. Great food, good beer. Highly recommended.

We love The Warren House Inn and always try to visit when up on Dartmoor, stunning views, car parking and great staff who are friendly and welcoming. Fantastic choice at the bar, we haven't eaten here but the food we saw being served looked delicious and home cooked. On our next walk we will definitely stop for food too. Thank you!

Excellent very special, absolutely beautiful spot looking forward to our next visit !!

A warm welcome and friendly service. This pub has real atmosphere and the food is delicious - with generous portions.

Truly one of the finest pubs in Britain. There's nothing more to be said. Sensational.

Overpriced food for what it is. Very basic, burger I had was raw with a generic three item salad. Small portion size for something that costs £15+ Plate had some sort of mayo/condiment smothered on the bottom (disgusting) Popped in to get our bearings as we didn't have signal to find we couldn't use their wifi. Best go somewhere else, won't be stopping there in the future.

The atmosphere is this place is fabulously authentic. Food and service is cozy. Will back 100%

It's worth going to this restaurant in Darkmoor. Great ambience, very nice staff and a fire that has been burning since 1845

Right in the middle of the moors great views great old pub friendly staff good food enjoyable atmosphere

Always a warm welcome and reasonably priced drinks.

Fantastic views at this Dartmoor pub. Great ale, well kept. Would have got 5 stars if ham and chips had an egg with it! Other meals we had were good tasty pub lunches.

Lovely place with lovely views and friendly staff

Lovely old Inn, with a lot of interesting history and photos dating way back. The food was brilliant! Especially the famous rabbit pie. Family run, friendly and very welcoming. Dog friendly too.

Really cozy warm Traditional Pub. Food was excellent 👌

Very cosy atmosphere, lovely service and friendly locals. Food did the job.

The Warren House Inn is a very atmospheric and welcoming place with a magical feel with a fire that is always burning. The food is of an exceptional standard and excellent value for money with friendly staff and a location that never fails to amaze.

Lovely place to have something to eat and drink. When we were there we saw sheep, ponies and cows walking very close by. Very nice!

Cozy place with good food. Exciting to walk among wild horses that came close.

It's just a lovely, friendly place Dogs are very welcome. Food lovely and a good price. Staff so happy. Views amazing

very busy the day we visited,great views over moors.

The food here use to be absolutely amazing, especially the lamb shank and mash potatoe, sadly the last time we visited, it seemed they cook on mass and the quality is not what it use to be. We use to make a special journey just to eat here, not now. Big shame as it’s a lovely stop off, with incredible views and of course the cosy fire place.

We found the inn very pleasant .My husband had the beef & Ale pie ,which he loved.I had a ploughman's which was nice too.The landlord was very funny made us smile & took the time to sit at our table & tell us tales about the inn from days gone by .very amusing, we will return

What a lovely warm welcoming historical pub, the food was lovely, service was great, like a step back in time, so nice we went back the next day, The views were fantastic.

On the main Dartmoor road. Ok in the summer, or when the sun is shining. Beer quite expensive, but average for the tourist trail.

A lovely stop over before heading up to Bellever forest or the great Tors of a Bellever. A picturesque scenery facing the valley and hills. If you want to have a warm hot chocolate or coffee to boost up your mood, then this is definitely the place to be. The bartender is very nice and friendly to all customers, and wouldn't hesitate to start a lovely conversation.

Nice location for a beer or two. Didn't have food, but the beer was good. Permanent fire going. Friendy inn keeper.

Lovely pub, and the views don’t get much better than this! We popped in as a party of 13 (sorry to the owners) and had a lovely meal and drinks after a short but very taxing walk! The staff handled our small army very well and we all enjoyed our lunch very much!

Great Dartmoor pub. Food was amazing and can't recommend the Rabbit pie enough. Staff were friendly. Pub side gets very busy with a constant flow of people. Great views from outside where you can sit if you like if the weather is good.

Well organised public house for adults children and dogs. Food was superb.

Disappointing. The landlord was grumpy. The waiter sullen and vaping between serving tables. Food was dated and tasteless.

Friendly staff, cool history, great location!

Classic, middle of nowhere pub...shame we missed out on food as we arrived in between food serving times.

Absolutely beautiful pub, I've come here a good few times over the years. The food is great, people are lovely, the view is breathtaking whatever the weather and the atmosphere of the interior is cosy.

Stopped here for a meal with family and managed to get 2 benches opposite this beautiful inn. Staff were polite, helpful and happy to answer some questions we had about the inn's history. Food was amazing, we didn't have to wait to long, which is always good when you have kids that are hungry! Definitely will be back next time we are down this way, views are gorgeous!

Top establishment allways delivers top food and beer 🍺 👌 😋

Lovely traditional Dartmoor Inn. Great food, I had the Warreners Pie, first class. Great friendly service too. This was a fantastic stop mid-hike across Dartmoor

Had a lovely afternoon at the Warren House Inn. Service was great, though it was very busy for pub in middle of Dartmoor. I had rabbit 🐇 pie unfortunately the veg was over cooked as were the chips, oh why do you have chips with a rabbit pie ,the food was overprice for the quality. Overall a nice day but need a menu review.

Fantastic views , great service and lovely food. Will be back.

Excellent fish cakes to start and rabbit pie for main washed down with a delicious pint of Otter ale mmm yummy

Amazing little pub in the middle of nowhere. We got a warm welcome, great ale, great food. The rabbit pie was especially good, with locally sourced rabbit. They warn you that shots can be found in the rabbit and to be careful, so that’s how fresh the rabbit is. The man behind the bar is friendly and will tell you the story behind the fire that has been burning for 200 years. Would 300% go again. View outside is amazing as well.

Very friendly atmosphere and staff, food 🍲 was delicious 😋 always best for rabbit pie and the beer just right

You pay £3 for a coffee, but you drink it in the middle of a spectacular landscape, with horses, cows and lambs in perfect harmony.

This is a gem of a pub/restaurant nestled on the top of the road, overlooking a fantastic countryside, the Moors. It is a bit cold this time of the year, but worth the detour. Tables outside. Inside you have different rooms. Lucky if you get the table by the fire place. Very cozy. Their specially is rabbit pie, with bacon. Added to that we had the chicken with leaks, equally tasty. And the ale pie was meaty and we all loved the flavors. Speaking with the staff, all home made. Recommended

A welcome break after a long hike! Must be the best pub garden anywhere with stunning views across the moors and grazing ponies right next to you.
