Description

The Bar has welcomed many visitors over the past four hundred years, evolving just a little over time while retaining its charm. It’s a dog-friendly space, as long as your furry friend is as friendly as our other guests. If you’re feeling chilly, step inside and relax by our large woodburners, lit every evening during winter to keep everyone warm and cozy. It’s not uncommon for guests to get so comfortable they drift off to sleep – though we won’t name names! For dining, you can choose between our Smithy Restaurant or the Bar Area. As we are a small pub, we recommend booking in advance to secure your table and enjoy your meal without any wait.

My good lady, elderly parents, and I visited this pub based on recommendations from friends, and we were not disappointed. It is a small and welcoming remote country pub that is definitely worth finding. The staff and locals were very friendly and the Sunday lunch was fantastic. Special mention to the young lady who served us, as she took good care of us. The homemade desserts, including a variety of ice creams, were delicious. On our drive home, we were already planning our next visit.

I have been frequenting this pub for the past few months and I must say it is a fantastic traditional rural pub. The owners are traditional and the staff are all friendly. It's great to see that such charming country pubs still exist. Additionally, there is a nearby glamping site called Deer Barn Glamping in Hockworthy, which is a great place to stay just a 15-minute walk away.

Last Friday night, four of us dined at this restaurant near our accommodation. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The menu offered numerous options for everyone, all of which were homemade and generously portioned. The atmosphere was lively with many locals enjoying themselves. This pub exudes traditional charm and is definitely worth a visit for a meal. I highly recommend making a reservation here.

The food is fantastic and massive portions, so go there hungry. Friendly relaxed service, good beer, reasonably priced.

Food was excellent, home made. Service was good. We stayed in holiday home next door and ate here twice, would definitely recommend if you are in the area!
