The Chagford Inn — Restaurant in West Devon

We have visited Chagford many times, but this was our first stay at the Chagford Inn. It won't be our last!

We opted for one of the smaller double rooms. It was very clean and well appointed with fresh coffee etc. The bathroom was a little on the small side, but not enough to be inconvenient. The room was excellent value for money.

3 draft ales on hand pumps, all very well kept and served at the perfect temperature. A good selection of Scotch, but we didn't sample it.

But the star of the show was the food. The Chagford Inn specialises in beef, and they do so with conviction! When a beautiful looking cote de boeuf arrived at another table, we quickly ordered one. Beautiful Dexter beef cooked to perfection. The second night we had fillet, with fantastically flavoured shin. Beef heart was new to both of us, but we were pleasantly surprised at how tender and flavourful it was. Breakfast was also great. High quality ingredients make such a difference, and they were in abundance.

John was an excellent host, and I can't praise his staff highly enough. It really was the perfect visit, and I'm already looking forward to the next.

UPDATE - We visited again with some friends a couple of months ago. Everything was as we'd experienced before and we had...

The four of us had a lunch to die for yesterday and we have eaten at some great plcaes , home and abroad, going for the qualitu of the food and not the bling! Well the atmosphere was great, the gentleman and lady in charge and serving were just lovely - explaining all about the Baxter beef - do try it - wow - melts in your mouth the way they do it - and the puddings!!!! Just excellent. I gather the mulled wine was perfect - I was driving and never drink alcohol - from the three ladies with me - yup I get spoiled in my family! - and the wine list good. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Beats many more expensive places I have been to. Keep up the Good Work and thank you all!! Have a great New Year in one of our favourite places on Dartmoor - God's Kingdom! - we shall be back, please.

Best pub food I've had in a long time!

Lovely relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. What more could you want.

I came her with my siblings after a recommendation from my sister who had a been a few weeks prior and highly rated it. We had a three course meal which did not disappoint! Started with the beetroot and goats cheese which tasted fresh and delicious. Then the beef shin pie which looked on the smaller side but it was packed with flavour and actually more than enough. The chocolate delice pudding was to die for! Full of flavour and chocolate yum! The sugary pecans were a bonus. The presentation of the food was that out of masterchef which made the food even more delectable.

If you're a foody I'd highly recommend eating here. The price is slightly higher but they use local ingredients which is cooked to the highest standard, so happy to pay a bit more for quality produce.

I'll live locally so will definitely be back soon. Thanks for a...
