The Crealock Arms, is tucked away down a narrow lane and could easily be missed except for the sign on the road pointing you in the right direction. As you drive through into the generous car park, the views on the left of the hills are really lovely. Due to the time of year we […]
Category: Places to eat lunch in Devon
We have tasted some of the best places to eat lunch in Devon and put them in this category to help your search.
The Culm Valley Inn, Culmstock
The Culm Valley Inn, Culmstock, is definitely one to try. Not far from the M5, positioned between Wellington and Tiverton just off the A38, Culmstock is positioned in beautiful countryside just on the Devon/Somerset border. The food in the Culm Valley Inn is very good, hearty pub food, but with a bistro twist. There were quite a few gluten free choices.

Johns’ of Instow
Johns’ of Instow has been a delicatessen for ages. Over the last twelve years, since we moved to Devon, we have watched it grow into a thriving business, including expanding to a location in Appledore as well. The shop in Appledore intelligently added a small cafe alongside its deli. This must have been very successful […]
The Hartland Quay Hotel, Hartland
Literally two seconds walk from the beach in Hartland Quay, is the Hartland Quay Hotel). The hotel has a bar to the side of it (Wreckers Retreat), which was once the stables, where it serves lunches and evening meals. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside it’s very much a traditional old […]
The Black Horse Inn, Torrington
I had heard a lot of good things about the food in The Black Horse Inn, Torrington, so on a beautiful Bank Holiday Monday in August what better way to spend the day than a walk over Torrington Common and down by the river, followed by a big feed in The Black Horse Inn. The […]
Fremington Quay Cafe, Fremington
I’m a big fan of Fremington Quay Cafe, Fremington, (click here for its website) and judging by how busy it was last week, so is half of North Devon! Situated on the Tarka Trail between Bideford and Barnstaple, Fremington Quay is a must stop for locals and tourists alike. The views are stunning. There are […]
Barricane Beach Cafe, Woolacombe
I have heard so many good stories about the home made Sri Lankan curry at The Barricane Beach Cafe, Woolacombe (click here for its Facebook page), that it became almost number one on my bucket list! Finally, whilst our fussy daughter was in rehearsals in the summer, we drove over to Woolacombe to try the […]
The Coffee Cabin, Appledore
What can we say about The Coffee Cabin, Appledore (click here for its Facebook page) – a little gem of a place. The coffee is superb! Voted in 2014 as one of the top restaurants to eat under £20 in The Sunday Times Top Restaurant list it truly deserves the award. The staff are friendly […]
Peter Tavy Inn, Dartmoor
The Peter Tavy Inn, Dartmoor is nestled in the small hamlet of Peter Tavy, is a typical old traditional village pub. Stone floors, low ceilings and a snug which was perfect for us to sit in and relax after our excursion across Dartmoor. The menu, listed on a chalk board by the bar, was reasonably […]
Pyne Arms, East Down
The Pyne Arms, East Down is a stunning old traditional pub with low ceilings, wooden beams and when we visited in October it had the obligatory roaring fire. Such a lovely homely and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered drinks and asked to see the menus when we arrived explaining that I would require a gluten free […]
