"Open fires and exposed timbers set against touches of contemporary design help make this restored Grade II listed pub, set in a delightful hamlet, a charming place for replenishment and recuperation. The frequently changing menu makes good use of ingredients from their own farm; the local hogget makes for a delicious shepherd’s pie and look out for the Forager’s Tart for pud. Wonderful homemade syrups help create some refreshing aperitifs." - Michelin Inspector
We are in Devon on holiday. Previous guests at the cottage recommended this pub. It did not disappoint. The place itself is decorated to such a high quality, including the toilets!
The service was faultless, Becky served us so well, friendly and professional. The food tasted as good as it looked .. a few photos attached. Even the drinks were amazing, with their own on site made cordials! Our little dog (Ned) was also made to feel welcome. We went there to celebrate our 36th Wedding Anniversary and we had a lovely surprise when the kitchen did us such a thoughtful desert plate.. see photo. The whole experience has made it an extra special day for us. Thank you to Becky, the staff we met and to the brilliant chef and of course the team behind the scene.

A really lovely restaurant. We went for the tasting menu. The food was beautifully presented and cooked. A lot of the ingredients were from the restaurant’s farm. The timing of the service was just right, the staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The photos show just how exceptional it was.

This was our first visit to The Farmers Arms and what a lovely place. We moved to Devon just over a year ago and many of the friends we have met had recommended The Farmers Arms to us and now we know why.
We were greeted by Sophie and her open smile immediately welcomed us into the establishment. The fit and finish of the decor inside the pub was excellent and felt very up market. There was a nice selection of local ales behind the bar and a well chosen wine list.
The food was easily the best we have had in Devon and you can see there was a great attention to detail when creating the flavours for each dish. Knowing the ingredients were locally sourced is such a good thing helping to sustain the nearby farmers and producers.
We have already booked a return visit and I am absolutely sure we will be there many many more times.
Finally, each and every member of the staff we met were lovely, open, fully engaging and knowledgeable about their products and a pleasure to interact with. Thanks to each and every staff member at The Farmers Arms but a special mention must go out to Sophie and the head chef who designed the menu and put the wonderful food on the table in front of us.

Read that the sunday lunch here was good and we were not disappointed. This is the best Sunday lunch we have ever had. The food was out of this world, and the service was over and above. Very friendly atmosphere not only from the staff bit from the locals. When we visit Devon again, we will most definitely be booking again. I honestly cannot put in words how good this was!!

Fabulous, just fabulous!
We loved the Sunday lunch system, with the sharing plates. The food was simply delicious. We arrived feeling certain we'd booked via the online system, to discover that we'd failed in some respect, but the lovely people running this restaurant squeezed us in anyway. What a great place, we'll definitely go back! We've lots of people to introduce to this super place.

Fantastic lunch, mussels in tomato and fennel broth, homemade bread, hake, pork, monk fish fish finger sandwich - couldn’t be better. Delicious wine and beer. Lovely stylish interior and delightful, helpful staff. Definitely the highlight of our holiday.

The Farmers Arms is insanely good - genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. We had the chicken liver parfait, the scrumpet, shepherd’s pie and pork loin and I can’t stop thinking about how delicious everything was. Lovely service and drinks too. Hope to come back in future.

Stunning gastropub where you can enjoy first class pub classics or a more refined menu sourced entirely from their local farm. The chicken pie was particularly impressive but they lost marks for very sluggish service and a disappointing dessert. I would definitely recommend for a memorable meal. It was a small great value considering the quality

Delicious food in modern ambiente with proffesionell and quick service. More on the priecy side but definetly quality food and cookery.
