The Cavalier Inn, Torrington

A super friendly Pub ! I had a warm welcom from the new landlord and landlady , Justin and Sandie.
The food was hearty, home cooked, and wholesome ( especially their renowned carvery....cheap,tasty, and there was loads of it !). The a la carte menu was simple....yet easy to choose from and seemed to have all my favourite dishes there ( so i was happy!)

The Chef can also be seen flitting in and out of the kitchen , a mad bald Irishman named ken who isnt shy aboutchatting and sharing a joke and bit o blarney with the punters. I must say, it was nice to see a pub chef who has enough confidence in his creations to speak to diners personally.
the waiting staff too were very polite and attentive.

Back to the bar....a lovely warm westcountry atmosphere in a building with loads of history and atmosphere , friendly locals, and top notch real ale ( try the "OTTER ALE" its great !
