A wonderful place just outside Dartmoore. We were able to relax by a fire with decent local beer…read morebefore having a lunch that felt very British and very Cornish. Salmon with cockles and seaweed bernaise, guinea fowl, deviled kidneys, crab risotto. Almost a Dickensian list but at the same time truly modern. This is British food at its best. Best of all though was the childrens menu. Our active little toddler was very happy with the ham hock pizza. We're used to toddler pizzas being thick with sweet tomato sauce and showered in plastic cheese. This was balanced and considered.

The Trout and Tipple Pub, is located on Parkwood road, just a minute away from Tavistock town…read morecentre. The pub is independantly managed, and sells a good range of real beers and ciders. The pub has regular mini beer festivals throughout the year. The pub serves food lunch times and evening, all food is freshly prepared and the pub will only use the finest of ingredients, at the front of the menu is a list of local suppliers. The pub has a seperate dining room, a games area, open fires in the main bar area. The pub welcomes dogs and children. I would highly recommend the Jail Ale, which is brewed on Princetown, on Dartmoor.

Yes, it's cliche, but order their fish and chips and you won't be disappointed. The pub owner and his sons are some of the nicest people you could hope to meet and made us feel at home. We ended up sitting at the bar, playing "Brain Benders," and having fabulous conversation. We will be back every time we are in Devon. This place is worth going out of the way for.

The Whitchurch Inn is near to Tavistock in the Village of Whitchurch. It only has parking for 3…read morecars, but there is more parking available on the opposite side of the road. It is not very big, so you need to book in advance. It is very much worth a visit. I have eaten here many times and it has always been fantastic. The service is very warm and welcoming. There is a brilliant choice of food on the menu, so something for everyone. They always have a good choice of vegetarian food too. I can thoroughly recommend the inn.

Don't miss this remote Inn in beautiful Dartmoor…read more The food is wonderful -- I had a pea and mint risotto that was delicious and beautifully presented. My husband had Bangers & Mash with crispy onions and my teenage children had yummy burgers. They have two lovely gardens and the Inn itself is16th Century with thick stone walls, slate floors and a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Children are welcome in the dining areas and the garden as well as friendly dogs. If you like Sticky Toffee Pudding -- my absolute favourite pudding -- then get it here. It's brilliant and served with a dollop of clotted cream on the side for a few more calories if you need them!

A very local pub, hosting half the village, it seems, most nights. People sit with their locally brewed beers and friendly dogs on the quayside. The food is pretty good. There is a pool table inside too. Calstock is a pretty village on the Devon-Cornwall border, easily accessible from Plymouth.

Came in here the other day. Nice cozy pub but pretty uninviting. Staff wasn't very welcoming so…read morefrom the beginning I felt a bit awkward. Also, the other patrons were definitely regulars and monopolised half the bar as well as the music which was obnoxious and a bit inappropriate. Personally, I want a pub to feel welcoming and homey. A place where I can sit and relax for hours, however after one drink I wanted to leave. I will say that there was some decent real ale and at a fair price. Hopefully if I try again it will be a bit nicer. Too bad, this place had potential!
