The best restaurants in Whimple East Devon South West

We had to try the new Sunday lunch menu and we were not disappointed. Roast beef served with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, cheesy leeks and a proper Yorkshire - not one of those rock hard crispy things restaurants often serve. Followed up with the best freshly cooked Blueberry Bakewell and cream. The staff were friendly and attentive. Thanks very much

Staying in the local area we decided to meet up with other family members for an evening meal and catch-up. Knowing this pub does food from Wednesday through to Sunday lunchtime decided this would be a good place to visit. We booked and arrived just on opening time and was met with a very welcoming greeting by the bar person. Once we placed our order, in a very short space of time the starter course arrived, and on completion of this and table cleared, again the main meals arrived well presented and hot. The pricing was well within most budgets and with the specials board there is a good variety to choose from concidering the size of the village. Definitely on future visits this is a place on the list for food.

First time visiting for Sunday Lunch, after hearing lots about The New Fountain Inn from our friends. We both had the roast dinner it was delicious, cooked to perfection. The beef was tender and vegetables well seasoned, the gravy spot on. Their specials boards sounded mouth watering so many choices, we will definitely be back to try. We heard there was new head chef, he’s certainly made a difference, in this village. Service team were attentive and welcoming. We look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic friendly welcome. The young chap who took our order was very warm and smiley ..they had the wood burner on in the waiting room which was lovely. Wide selection of dishes. They were busy on the restaurant and the take away. We were travlleing in a motorhome and they said we could park overnight in the very large car park. Thank you! Definitely recommended the food was delicious. Follow us on YouTube

Ordered a takeaway online for delivery. We selected the 6.50pm delivery slot but the confirmation email changed it to 7.10pm. By 7.45pm nothing had turned up so rang them to be told would arrive soon. It eventually arrived at 8.10pm and it was pretty cold. We heated it up in the microwave and it was delicious. All they had to do was make sure that they could deliver on their own delivery slots. If something unexpected had arisen, they had our email and telephone number. Just tell us. Food was nice but your service lets you down.

We went on Saturday. They’d run out of pizzas. But saw fit to leave the bloody great sign outside the door advertising them. We had two sausage baps and a portion of cheesy chips! The wait was long. Which it was busy that was fine. When it come out the sausages were burnt and their cheesy chips were chips with cheese dumped on the top. This place used to be really nice stop for lunch. Will probrably give it a miss in the future
