I have been looking for somewhere like this for ages! I often visit friends in Devon from my home in Hertfordshire and wanted a nice spot for a lunch stop around the halfway mark. This fits the bill perfectly.
Location wise it’s just 2 minutes from the A303 halfway into the journey.
The pub has real character, the staff were friendly and there was a good vibe in the place. I had the Sunday Roast and it was excellent, perfectly cooked, tasty and generous.
Wow! Probably one of the best Pub lunches I’ve had. Great menu perfectly executed.
Very busy, squeezed us in at the last minute. Very good and friendly service.
Best Scallop starter I can remember. 3 of us, all had something different. All very good.
Will be going back very soon to try something else. Seemed like they had a very good team working well together. Very well decorated, quite quirky. A lot of thought and care has obviously gone into it.
My compliments to all those involved. Everyone should try it if you like good food.
Very well stocked bar, nothing too much trouble.

The 17th July was our wedding anniversary and as our daughter was here from Australia I was looking for somewhere special to have dinner out. We had passed The Old Inn a multitude of time and always said that we would eat there and never did until yesterday. Why didn't we go there before yesterday. The food was exceptional, the chef was a delight, my wife and daughter settled for a roast beef dinner, my wife before we were there did not have an appetite but once she had started, a mixture of the really friendly staff and the ambiance made her forget that she never had an appetite and she finished the excellent meal. The beef was cooked to perfection and not overcooked like so many pubs that we have frequented, our daughter too was really impressed. Me I went for the Roast Lamb Rump with all the trimmings which absolutely delicious. The staff were so attentive we forgot the time and I surprisingly washed down my dinner with a well kept Otter beer (3 to be precise) and Ali and Maria washed there's down with 2 half's of Henry Weston cider, again well kept. This Inn is located in a quiet village. I cannot praise the staff enough, thank you for a memorable dinner.
Efficient staff and the food was stunning. Stopped on route to Heathrow from Devon. Kids were satisfied which isn't always easy! I particularly enjoyed the truffle hollandaise served with the steak. Thanks again! ❤️
Spontaneous lunch on a long journey! What a pleasant find. The server was friendly, thoughtful and polite, the locals were helpful and it feels as though they have thought of everything where ever you go in the building.
The food was delicious and catering for gluten free was an easy and smooth transaction, that was thoroughly appreciated!
I feel this will be a regular for us from now on. Thank you very much guys.
A lovely country pub, really tasty food. It has been up for sale I think about 3 times since I moved here 5 years ago so I wonder if they do struggle for business. Recommend a visit

This is such a lovely pub! Staff are very welcoming and friendly and the chef/owner is always jolly and chatty! They serve great food and now serving fresh pizzas from their outside pizza oven, I haven't had the chance to time one yet but they look amazing. We stop in regular for drinks and have never had a bad experience.
Lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere and great locals. Been in this pub many times and always thoroughly satisfied with the service. The food is amazing! Especially love the pizzas they’ve started doing in their recently installed pizza oven. Would definitely recommend anyone driving past to stop in for a meal or even just a quick pint.
Have been here twice and have not been disappointed. A friendly pub with resteraunt in the centre of the village. We have had great service from welcoming and friendly staff. The food is just excellent is well prepared and varied, ingredients are sourced locally and sufficient. The Old Inn has won a number of awards recently that has meant an increase in business that has resulted in greater difficulty in getting a table - particularly in the bar so book early.
The food was excellent. Four of us went. Only two of us had starters, but we all had a main and dessert. Add a few drinks and we only paid £101. Amazing value. The missing star was because only one girl was servicing the restaurant and was working like a Trojan. Two and a half hours from entering to paying was quite a long time. That poor girl needed help. If she gets it, that place will be brilliant.
