Imperial Inn — Restaurant in South Hams

Food very good (takes time, but because fresh, so would just allow for that).

Particular staff member today not particularly friendly, but previous trips have been consistently warm in welcome, so can rite that off to a bad day for that person.

However, would advise being careful around disability and allergy issues.

Disability - asked for a straw (hoping & praying for an accessible one, not paper), but was told that they don't have any & demonstrably the staff member did not realise this was an accessibility issue.

Allergies - while they were good about 'please do not put peas on that meal due to allergy', they very kindly switched in some salad, again, the problem lay with drinks. Namely, a bitter lemon was ordered, but a light version substituted, which had both aspartame & another compound which the person in question is allergic to. Having already had a problem with the straw, we didn't like to complain again & swapped drinks among us.

All in all, great food, but do be aware you.may not be able to access straws & so be hyper-vigilant if you...

Updated 2025. This is still the best pub in Ivybridge. Nick and his team have a special place in my heart. I’ve celebrated and commiserated moments here and each time I’ve been made to feel welcome. This isn’t a pub but a part of the community I cannot thank you enough.

When you walk in you’re often welcomed and the staff are polite and remember your order, the wait times are low. Perfect place to socialise with others and a good Beer garden to match. Big tv screen is also for...

Went for the first time and it won't be the last. Met up with friends for some drinks and some pizzas and was pleasantly surprised. Great selection of beers, ciders, and other drinks. The pizzas were really nice and had tons of cheese (always great for pizza), the chips were really nice too. Great atmosphere, and a great sized pub garden, which bet is packed on a hot sunny day. There's parking out front for about 3 cars, otherwise you'll need to park in the main car park (pay and display) and walk. We were lucky to have got a space...
