Our Bar & Restaurant

Our traditional Ivybridge pub offers a wide range of local ales and ciders, plus a selection of wines, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes. There’s no better pub in Ivybridge to visit for a tipple, great company and cosy surroundings!

You can cosy up by the fire in winter or enjoy the warmer weather in our large beer garden which is available for a quick snack or a glass of wine. 

What’s more, we hold special barbecue events throughout the Summer, with tasty food, great music and a laid-back atmosphere, so you can while away the afternoon in style!

Our large restaurant can seat up to 40 diners and we have plenty of extra seating in the bar area. 

We cook delicious, traditional dishes seven days a week, using fresh, local ingredients to produce fabulous breakfasts, hearty dinners and of course we also offer a delicious Sunday Roast.

Reviews From Happy Customers

Nice and Friendly

"love the place - meals really good and a very happy place, central for travelling around South Devon, staff and customers were really chatty and friendly. Not far from beaches and plenty of things to do round about."

Christine S.

Fabulous Food

"6 friends on way to Cornwall for the weekend, from Wales. Very hungry landed on the doorstep at 8.56pm. And they said they could feed us, how grateful we were. The food was lovely all served together hot and tasty. The staff were fantastic. Thank you again girls. It was Thursday 27th June. "

Great Value Nosh!

"Have eaten here more times than I can remember, and apart from one time we have always had good food. This occasion was no different.
The chef suggested I might like to try the steak and ale pie and I was glad I did.
It was huge, yes he was "looking after" us , but it was one of the best pies I've ever had."

Bring A Big Appetite

"A large group of friends had lunch in the restaurant. We all had very good meals with very friendly helpful staff. We had selected from the menu when we booked and we were all pleased with our choices. The portions of both starters and mains were very generous as were the deserts several of which were shared. All the dishes were well cooked and very tasty. We will be back I am sure."
