The Leaping Salmon — Restaurant in West Devon

My wife found this pub as we are staying in Tavistock for our holiday. What a find it was. Set in a lovely village of Horrabridge this pub served up one of the best meals we have ever had. The staff upon arrival offered us either inside or outside seating we choose inside due to heat but the outside overlooking the pub looks great for next time. Our drink order was taken next and a good range of local ales and ciders to choose from along with a number of lovely wines. Then shown the meal which was on blackboard of all to see. Simple menu but with local produce and amazing cooking all looked and tasted great. I had the burger which came with large amount of chips and coleslaw along with smokey cheddar on top.

After all that meal we were unfortunately unable to have dessert to full but the options looked and sounded amazing.

Chef tried to take my feedback well but got slightly defensive stating I was the first person to dislike it in 3 years but couldn't help and think we were the only ones in the pub on a Saturday lunchtime over a bank holiday, maybe others are just voting with...

If you want a good nights sleep, DO NOT STOP HERE! I,m posting this after the gentlemen directly below my room, 1, in the pub kitchen, came in at 4am and decided to make as much noise as he could. At4:30 am after very load banging I had enough and went down stairs to see what all the banging was. He has a rolling pin out so I’m guessing he was opening walnuts?! Unbelevably, he had headphones on so didn’t have a clue how much noise he was making. When I told him he’d awoken me at 4am he seemed nonplussed and said he had work to do! Just what I needed after a hard days work and a long drive today. The guy needs to realise you don’t treat paying guests like this……..he...
