The London Inn — Restaurant in West Devon

Located in the quiet village centre, just a minute’s drive (or 5 minute walk) off the main drag between Yelverton and Tavistock. Car park at rear, accessible before crossing the bridge next to the pub. Entrances at rear and front. Typical looking old-world village pub with outdoor seating and a few larger tables inside, so ideal for walkers, cyclists etc. First visit (pub in Yelverton gridlocked with cars so here we were). Staff kindly let us in early (chilly and wet weather) to keep warm but we strolled around the attractive village anyway. Sidenote: The other pub was shut, there’s a Spar and a chippy and the river looked splendid after the heavy rain. Community Christmas trees added some cheer.

Back to the pub out of the rain: Quiet inside, no music, a few other customers, lower level area closed. Bit tired in the furnishings dept but historic building nonetheless. Toilets so-so. Friendly staff offered a tasting of the cider AND a bonus of the last glassful from the box (it was a Lilley’s still, 6.0% - v good) Beer offer was usual DoomJail so picked the still cider. I could imagine this as a proper beer-led establishment at some point. Probably not the footfall or demographic though.

It’s the food that truly shone. Simple, non-pretentious and delicious. Sausage (meaty), mash (buttery), peas (loads) and a proper boat of hot gravy. Mate’s burger, chips and onion rings also well received and everything was cleared. Good portions all served hot and with a friendly smile. I’d be happy to have this as a local.

Bravo....

We dropped in on Tues 26th Sept for a few pint's and a meal after reading decent reviews and were looking forward to a pleasant evening in a pub we had not visited before. The place was quiet with three blokes standing at the bar. A elderly couple eating, and another couple drinking.

The beer was excellent so thought we will have a few drinks and then eat. Asked the lady at the bar for a menu and sat down to study it. Then the foul language started from one of the blokes at the bar. Not only was he f-ing and blinding loudly but was also coming out with the c word on a regular basis. My husband returned the menu to the bar informing the lady we would not be staying to listen to language like this all evening. The bar lady had a word with the bloke about his language so we decided to stay. Within minutes he started again so we drank up and left.

The bar staff seemed unable or unwilling to curb this blokes foul mouth. Perhaps this type off behavior is exceptable in this pub. Will not be visiting again when...

If you want a friendly village pub, with great staff and landlord then look no further than the London Inn, we so far have has a great meal and a cosy night drinking. They welcome dogs like they are family, and we are looking forward to having a Sunday roast on our last day visiting Horrabridge. So if you are passing just pop in you won't be disappointed with the hospitality or food, just note best book for food in advance.

Well just had Sunday lunch, and 👏 great roast beef and pork, good sized portion and nice and hot, accomadated our pouches with a doggy portion each, and to say it didn't touch the sides says the same as us great food and great staff and...
