A laid-back spot on Chagford's high street that leans local rather than branded — Devon-sourced food and beer, and a genuinely relaxed attitude to children and dogs alike. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus outdoor seating for when little ones need air, and nobody here seems bothered by a bit of noise. Lunch is where it shines: the braised beef gets particular praise, with one parent noting their husband "wanted to lick the plate clean." Breakfast is strong on both quality and quantity. Around £100 for two including drinks and a shared starter, so it's a treat rather than a weekly stop. The catch is parking — there's none at the inn and Chagford's restricted zones make it genuinely tricky, so allow time to find a space nearby.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
