The Drum Inn

We stay in cockington village and call in to the Drum Inn for a drink after a long dog walk. The staff are always friendly and get to know their regulars. They are dog friendly and have a drinking area outside for dogs as well as a doggy station inside with treats, water and blankets.

Friday my husband and I got married at Cockington Court and we hired the dining room at The Drum Inn for around 40 people. We can’t tell you how happy we are with the staff here. They did just an amazing job catering for such a large party. Everyone loved the food. We brought our own decorations which was placed out beautifully for us when we arrived. Thank you again for everyone at The Drum Inn for helping make our day so special. We would definitely recommend to anyone getting married in Cockington to look at having their reception here.

Excellent service and food good in a cosy pub. Lamb skewer was rather fatty, and not really cooked enough because of this. However would definitely return.

We came here two years ago and loved it, so we had to come back again when we were in the area and the place was just as good if not better than we remembered. We came early evening and were seated straight away. The food was amazing, and the service was great too especially Emily who looked after us for the evening. Definitely recommend coming here!

Great Pub. We stopped in for lunch. Probably one of the best meals we have had in the UK (all 4 of us loved our choices) service was friendly and efficient. Beers were cold. Highly recommend if you are in the area

Like the Lidl/Aldi ad where they served the food and asked the guests to pay what they thought it was worth and then told them it was all from Aldi, or was it Lidl? Chips weren’t freshly cooked. Vegan burger was good. Nice place, pleasant staff, lovely location but food wasn’t good. Forgot to take photos of mains, apologies

I had a burger here and it wasn't great, which i would expect for this price (almost £20), it came very 'well done', dry and bit tasteless as they don't ask how you'd like it done. Only the bacon and bbq sauce were very good. On the other hand I really liked the atmosphere and staff were very friendly and polite.

Stunning pub in the middle of nowhere, with wonderful food, huge outdoor seating area to soak in the sun and a unique water station for dogs called ‘Scooby Brew’. The mains (beef rib bourguignon and slow-cooked pork belly) were very tasty and filling, but there was just enough room for a delicious mango & passion fruit pavlova dessert. The staff were friendly, accommodating and looked after us, absolutely no problem there. The pub really is a hidden gem with plenty of beautiful walks around, definitely worth exploring after a lovely meal!

Tucked away in a tiny village is thus Amazing inn with quaint ambiance and decor, decorated for the holidays, dogs allowed ! Super friendly staff and attentive. We all got the Sunday roast beef with the trimmings and it was so worth it . Only thing I would change are the roast potatoes they just were not quite " British style" gravy and Yorkshire pudding and meat and other veggies were great . Soon they will be all lit up for Christmas .

Went here twice in the summer of 2018. Once for lunch and once for the Sunday roast. This is quite a large pub, with a large terrace in a beautiful location. The food is better than at an average pub but also a bit more expensive. Think for lunch at prices of around £ 9 to £ 16 for a meal. There are 2 and 3 course menu options which are a good deal (at around £14 for 2 courses). Sunday roast is fairly priced at around £12 to £14 depending on your choice of meats. Also one of the few places where there is actually a choice of vegan & glutenfree products. A word of caution for people with a non-UK bank card: don't use the "open tab" system: this will cause trouble with your bank & payments.

Ruined my parents wedding function. Used dirty creased up table cloths. Served food on filthy dirty crockery. Messed up buffet menu. Poorly trained bar staff. Dirty dining area. 2 weeks later and after much communication between my parents and the management, nothing has been done to resolve the issue. Vouchers have been offered to go back to dine in same place that ruined their special day. Cant see them ever wanting to go back. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE FOR AN EVENT OF ANY KIND

Love this place so much, great selection of food that tastes excellent. Awesome variety of cask ales and other local favorites. Tons of comfy seating indoors and out, large front lawn with lots of dogs running around. Best pub in Torquay!
