The Cherub Inn, Dartmouth

We have been holidaying in the Devon area for years and we decided to take a 2 week break in the south hams area (totnes) for a change. We are huge pub goers and have taken in almost 3 or 4 a day, eating at many of them. We came to the cherub for lunch early on in our break and had been itching to go back, but we like to visit places only once a holiday. This time was different. We took our friends there for a meal on saturday night (12th dec). What a place! My wife had lemon sole and couldnt stop talking about how well it was cooked. My friends were saying this place has new owners. We sought to seek them out and were greated by 2 of the youngest owner/managers i've seen. I told them what a wonderful pub they have and that I will be letting BITE website know. We sat and had a drink with the chef/manager afterwards and couldnt believe how unaware he was as to how good his food was and seemed a little short of confidence. I never got his or his wifes name but if you ever get to see this, WELL DONE you made our holiday, and thank your staff for making us so welcome.

The Nobody Inn, Doddiscombsleigh

how over rated is this place? Yes you may have more whiskeys than the whole of scotland put together but the basics of running a pub should be achived 1st. Living on previous reputation alone will not last long. Ham, Egg and Chips. Pub grub but done right its the perfect pub lunch. Hard over cooked eggs, Re-fried frozen chips and poor ham. Im no chef but I can achive slightly better. My Beer was good but not worth traveling through the back of beyond for it. I found this place via eat out in teignbridge mag. Its amazing what a glossy add can tart up.
