The Tom Cobley Tavern - West Devon

The Sunday Roast is a must, servings are so generous and tasty, love the fact that you get a big jug of gravy!! You definitely have to book. Can’t wait for our next visit, Roger and staff are so welcoming. Perfect!

Met with friends here for lunch who were down house hunting. Excellent place! Lovely food, lovely friendly landlord, good beer (I am told as not a beer drinker myself) a place not to be missed. A gem!

What a great experience having a joint 80th and 50th birthday at the Tom Cobley. Roger, the landlord and his team were superb in every way. Real ales were glorious and the amount of exceptional real ciders was astonishing. We all had dinner and all 10 of us polished everything off with gratitude and full bellies. Wonderful food served by friendly and attentive people in relaxing surroundings, can’t fault it. Bedrooms were clean, beautifully furnished and lacked for nothing. Our border collie was allowed to stay and she felt comfortable immediately. Breakfast was a final surprise. I expected a good breakfast but this was beyond expectations. I highly recommend a visit and will certainly be returning in the summer.

Fabulous, the landlord is such a character and we all had a brilliant time. Good selection of beers which also pleased my husband. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

A truly traditional tavern with truly traditional pub fare and truly traditional real ale and ciders. The very best of welcomes run by an exceptionally good humoured, friendly and hospitable landlord with his family. Just as a pub should be. Proper job! So good we called in 4 times during our 6 days in Devon over Christmas lunches and dinner all superb, but don 't expect gastrogrub: this is a genuine, honest pub serving quality food (landlord was a butcher so knows his meat! and the servings are generous. As the landlord said, We don 't do fancy! But they do do fantastic ham and eggs, and perfectly cooked steaks, and more. A wide choice of real ales and ciders are their speciality, and they take pride in keeping and serving them at their best. This tavern is full of character, and characters (present and past, as the legendary Tom Cobley set off to Widdecombe Fair from here . One in a million. It has rooms too, which we haven 't experienced but maybe next time .........
