Have been to Rugglestone several times, beautiful location mostly and food is good. But the rudeness of the old woman serving behind the bar doesn't not deserve repeat custom in future. I have never been somewhere where customer service has been so bad. The actual food servers were fine, just an absolutely awful individual serving drinks ruins the pub.

Relates to the pub only: rude, non-existent customer service, observed that the staff spoke to the locals very differently to the visitors. No simple please or thank you at the bar. Such a shame, a stunningly beautiful pub that I've wanted to visit for years, but was made to feel wholly unwelcome.

Lovely location, good service, plenty of seating in the garden, dog friendly. Stopped in for lunch and a few drinks. Food was pretty good, hot baguettes were very nice and good value for money. The Rugglestone platter was nice but there wasn't enough bread and there was only one pickled onion which felt abit stingy. Overall pretty good

A beautiful pub in the heart of Dartmoor. The staff are very friendly and the food is very nice too. It?s a small place, so you need to book ideally.

Sadly, this place has gone downhill. Living on the moor, I visited with my husband this week for his Birthday. One of the most iconic pubs on Darmoor but astonished they don't serve Dartmoor beers. The choice of beers was poor and the fish pie was clearly made with frozen fish pie mix. What a shame that there's no reason for us to visit again. Hopefully they will improve their food and drink offerings. Used to be a great pub.

The food was mostly disappointing. Completely unseasoned. Particularly the vegetarian fajitas. Just soggy and slimy. Fish and chips was ok, the soup ok too. The tiny bar were everyone had to queue,no matter if you want to order drink or food or just need ketchup it's unbelievable. One person only manning it. Incredible. The place is nice and they have Estrella Pilsen. That's a plus

We only ate here. Perhaps a bit unlucky we dined in a room and were alone so bit lacking in atmosphere. There was availability in other rooms so not sure why it happened. But the service was good and tempura prawns were absolutely fantastic. A busy pub for locals and tourists alike.

Possibly the best pub in Dartmoor. Amazing ales served straight from the cask behind the bar. Always a good selection with Dartmoor beers and some lovely blonde ales (I can't remember what they were).
Food lovely as ever. Steak and ale pie with chips and veg always a winner. Breaded Camenbert and the whitebait was a great starter. Prices have gone up 2 or 3 quid for a main meal since last time I went, but that's understandable given the rising costs of running a business.

Great little pub in the centre of Dartmoor, lovely food and beers and good service. Arrive early at lunch, as it does get very busy. We sat in the garden, which has a pretty stream running through it. We had the scampi and steak pie and enjoyed both, though the vegetables with the pie were undercooked.

Well what can I say but this place is wonderful, we arrived in our campervan
free park up with a meal. The food was absolutely delicious & very reasonable. There is an out side toilet open all night.
The staff are absolutely lovely & very helpful.
The views are stunning im coming back asap. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great pub classic Dartmoor location. Good for families and couples alike, but the drink locals can be a bit of a handful! But give as good as you get and you'll be fine!
Good selection of local beers and ciders. Nice to use the outside space when you can.

Did a 1-night campervan stopover, which was great. Lovely location, good and reasonably priced food. Would stay again, thank you.
