The Church House, Harberton

A new landlord amd landlady took over this pub early in November 2005. The pub has been run down in recent years, but today - 17th Nov (just over a week since they took over!) it has completely changed with high quality food (the landlord is a qualified chef). Instead of the few couples the total number of people for lunch touched 50. Word had spread very quickly and judging by the compliments that owners and staff received, will continue to do so. Apart from the excellent fare, there is a choice of 3 good ales beers, lagers, Sam's draught cider, wines and malt whiskies. Not to be missed.

The Maltsters Arms, Tuckenhay

We dined and drunk in the Maltsters Arms whilst Keith Floyd was in residence and since. The food has never been better than with the current owners and is fresh, so expect a wait - there is no fast or frozen food here. The owners are most welcoming and their long experience in the trade shows through. They do not tolerate nuisance customers, screaming brats etc, thereby ensuring that it is a pleasant and restful place to eat. The main tables overlook the river Dart, but as there is a bar in the room children cannot legally be allowed on these tables. There is a cosy childrens area with a real log fire in the winter. Narrow lanes lead to this pub, but it's well worth the effort. Excelent range of ales and wines.
