The Village Inn — Restaurant in South Hams

A really lovely pub/restaurant with lots of space with areas to relax around an open fire or sit at the bar and have a quiet pint. Big range of beers on tap with plenty of non alcoholic drinks including Salcombe new London light non alcoholic gin in three different flavours.

First evening I had the fish in chips which was cooked in a very light and crispy batter and the fish was perfectly steamed inside the batter. Lovely homemade tartare and curry sauce for dipping the perfectly cooked chips in, Crumble for afters was delicious with a lovely crumble topping. Hats off to the chef!!!

Toilets clean and tidy.

Expensive food that is average at best. We visited for a Sunday roast and it didn't impress us, roasts costing £18+ with very little quality on the plate, meager portions, poorly presented and lacking some of the elements you would expect. We were told the Yorkshire puddings weren't available because they didn't meet their standards, nothing else they served met my standards so who knows how bad they were. I had the pork and I would expect crackling, some sort of apple sauce variant on the plate, some stuffing and more than 2 slices. Also the roast potatoes were anemic and the veg lacking in seasoning. Dessert wise I thought the flavours were nice but portions were tiny for the circa £9 a dish. I thought the staff were great, I enjoyed the beer and I liked the look of the place. I think if the food is brought up to standard then it'll be a...
