The Devonshire Dumpling - Mid Devon

If you are hiking the Two Moors Way, this restaurant is a fantastic place to stop. They offer delicious evening meals and a self-serve buffet breakfast in the morning, perfect for starting your day of hiking. The rooms are very comfortable and come equipped with all the necessary amenities. I highly recommend this place.

After moving to Devon over 4 years ago, we have often driven past the Devonshire Dumpling without stopping. What a mistake that was! We finally decided to have dinner there on a Saturday evening and were delighted with the delicious and tasty meal we had. The menu had a great selection, Laura, the hostess, was very welcoming, and the service was spot on. Overall, it was a fantastic choice, the food was excellent, and definitely worth adding to your list of must-visit restaurants.

We went for Sunday lunch with a party of 6 people. The roast dinner (2 turkey, 1 lamb) was cooked beautifully and each meat had its own gravy, not just one type for everything. We also had 1 steak and mushroom pie, which was a generous portion, and 2 children's meals. The vegetables were nicely cooked and there was a good selection. The dessert menu had 5 choices, all of which were well presented and delicious. The staff were all excellent and the service was just right in terms of speed. If you're looking for well-cooked and nicely presented food at a reasonable price, this is the place to go.

Don't judge a book by its cover! We stayed and ate here two nights while walking The Devon Coast to Coast. Twice on arriving, the door was opened and we were greeted by Laura, the owner. You couldn't meet a nicer, friendly person, always smiling and so, so efficient, she was virtually on her own at dinner, still happily serving drinks, taking orders and delivering food. The food itself is very good with an interesting menu too. Our bedroom was spacious, comfortable and nicely furnished. Would we stay/dine here again? Definately!

A train trip away on the Tarka Line. We found the Devonshire Dumpling to be a very homely pub with great staff and good choice of menu, reasonably priced. Delicious home cooked food. Highly recommended, we'll be back.
