Poachers Pocket

There are fewer things in life more reliable than a John Harrington Sunday roast dinner. There are fewer things in life more reliable than a John Harrington Sunday roast dinner. Our first visit to this lovely pub in a quiet location,but well worth the drive just for a Harrington roast. Friendly helpful staff and good drink selection. Great food and very reasonable price. We will be back soon for the slow cooked belly pork.

I went there with my family tonight for the first time since the new owner took over, and as we’d been there many times before i did notice that the menu had become much more limited with more unique meals. As a picky eater I found it difficult to choose what to have - hence the four stars - as I also wasn’t presented with a children’s menu (I’m not even sure if they had one) which would have much simpler foods that i would like. I also noticed that there was not many options for vegetarians, there was maybe one or two. Apart from the authentic, yet small choice of meals they had to offer, the waitresses were lovely and made us feel welcome, the owner was lovely too and even sat down and had a chat with us when he wasn’t busy, and the service was very quick and well carried out. I just think that older/wiser folk would enjoy this pub more as it doesn’t offer typical pub grub, and could be appealing to those looking for a fancier place to eat, that has reasonable prices, and has fairly large portions. I recommend this pub to any family with older teenagers or above, or couples who have no children at all, mainly for the fact that the meal options are limited, and not suitable for picky eaters. But other than that, it is a good pub!

Myself, partner and parents went there last night and were impressed with the menu.All freshly cooked and well presented with decent portions .Only downfall was there was no starters but as the landlord pointed out he was in the kitchen by himself so can't blame him and I see they were advertising for staff so I'm sure the starters offering will change.All round happy and came away nicely filled.

My wife and I spent 3 days staying at the old stables b&b in Chelynch, the poachers pocket is very close. We had an evening meal there each night. The meals were excellent and very good prices, the service was also excellent, we were so lucky to find this little gem, we recommend it, the pork steaks were to die for as was the seafood platter, thank you 🙏
