We didn't stay here but had an evening meal.
It's a quaint little pub that ticks all my old codger boxes.
A good choice of ales and wine together with pleasant staff and a friendly atmosphere.
What's not to like?
Perhaps our meal, which was a bit of a mixed bag. I think their strength is the pizza judging by its popularity. The wife thoroughly enjoyed hers but my chilli con carne was a bit thin and lacked flavour. Not a deal breaker but then my dessert arrived. It was a banoffee 'thing', and all I could do was laugh. Skye, our lovely waitress, was so apologetic for bringing it out. You need to see the photo. Unfortunately it wouldn't give you much faith in the kitchen.
Despite this we had a pleasant time and the pooch enjoyed lying in front of the real fire.

Stumbled upon this little jewel quite by accident -got lost looking for the Eggesford pub with the train station and just got too hungry to keep looking ?
The food was top tier and our server was fantastic! I was very pleasantly surprised and will be back.

last summer while i was in the area working and had avery nice meal on two separate occasions and both nights the food was excellent (had the red lion burger 1st night and a meatfeast the next) both of which were absolutely delicious. Now i was down again before Christmas and had the meatfeast pizza and it was fantastic but on the second night i had the red lion burger ?? it was absolutely disgusting i can only assume you had a child cooking that night as it was greasy tasted totally different to the one I'd had before and they didn't seem to care either. Won't be calling back in again
