The Globe Inn, Sampford Peverell

Used to be a great pub but now seems to trade on high volume, medium cost , low quality and value. After a very average meal in the uninspiring gardens a girl came outside to wipe out the ashtrays and used the same cloth without even rinsing it to wipe the glass topped tables! The gents toilets had bogeys stuck to the walls - i would recommend a walk across the road to the Merrimead but that doesn't seem to be much better. What a shame for the residents of Sampford Peverell

The Merrimeade, Sampford Peverell

went to this pub for a drink after a long and very pleasant walk alongside the nearby tiverton canal. interior is very drab and needs attention but beers were good met some friends in the lovely gardens (which were full of kids and their tattooed parents) and they said the food was good. shame the rest is a bit of a dump.

The Royal Inn, Horsebridge

A pub in a beautiful location but a little disappointing internally - called for a Sunday lunch on the way to Cornwall and had one of the best sirloin steaks ever - no Sunday roasts available - I went to the bar to give thanks for the good food and pay and was met by a stressed and not very friendly bar girl, despite the pub being near empty. What a shame - this could be an absolute gem of a pub with the right attitude and presentation.
Many thanks to the chef and butcher for a superb meal
