The best restaurants serving British food in Lydford West Devon South West

Stopped over at Powdermills Pottery on our way home from Cornwall. What a wonderful place this is: we had hot Chocolate , coffe and a delicious root soup (no scones on the winter menu) and an insightful chat next to a crackling wood stove fire and came away with a beautiful piece of Joss' pottery and the firm plan to come back for one of her pottery courses (this was not a result of hard selling but pure enthusiasm on our side :-)

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.

Disappointing 'cod' (?) and chips takeaway. Couldn't eat the fish-it was discoloured (not white) and didn't taste right. It is so disappointing to spend our hard earned money on food that seems to be below standard. If poor weather affects the normal supply of fish then this should be pointed out at the time of sale and priced accordingly.

Popped in this pub today as our usual spot was fully booked, Ordered our food it didnt seem busy only a few tables in there and most of them were already eating, waited over an hour for our food, which was just burgers and chips, the burger was lovely but the chips were hard and cold, Cosy little pub but it was absolutely freezing inside, came out with numb cold toes never been in a pub and been so cold. Lady behind the bar seemed friendly and very busy as she was serving drinks and running out food.

We booked a table for Valentine's evening but our van broke down. We called the pub and explained and they were extremely understanding. We eventually managed to get there fifteen minutes before the kitchen shut and received wonderful service. The food was excellent (we both had steak) and the staff were all lovely. We will definitely be back next time we're in Princetown. Highly recommended.

We came for Saturday lunch after a beautiful walk to Wistman's Woods. Staff were very friendly and efficient and even though it was busy and we hadn't reserved we received a table in the restaurant. The menu was varied and the food was wonderful. This accompanied by their locally brewed Ale made our lunch memorable. We came back in the afternoon after another long walk and enjoyed their lovely scones and tea and took a souvenir pack of their Ales On Sunday we returned and even though their Sunday roasts were fully booked we managed to get a seat and enjoyed the light lunch menu, consisting of homemade sausage roll, quiche and a very delicious soup. Compliments to the chef!

Highly recommend this traditional family run pub. The Landlady is the hardest working person I have ever met and always with a smile on her face. She made us so welcome as did the locals. Lots of locals (good sign) and excellent menu. Not too fussy - just good traditional pub food. I had the sausages & mash with onion gravy with freshly cooked vegetables. Great desserts. We stayed overnight on a Devon Coast to Coast bike ride. My room in the main building was clean, fresh sheets and a bath!!! Essential on a bike riding trip! Views from the pub are stunning when the sun is shining. There is a caravan park out the back. There is cottage accommodation as well which is basic. I encourage you to visit and support them.

Lovely and cosy sat by the fire with our dog after a wet windy walk. Xmas decs up but could have done with some quiet Xmas songs or nice music on in the background. Went for the lunch rolls on the menu and all sounded soo nice, so hard to choose. When they arrived they came on a normal side plate, in an over toasted small bun with v minimal filling and nothing else with it ie small sprinkle of chips, crisps or salad garnish. In our opinion over priced & basic but on a plus very tasty.
