Food Quality
Pros:
"5 awesome Beef and Ale pies led to 5 clean plates, washed down with a great selection of local beer."
"Really enjoyed the beef and ale pie and a pint of Moor Ale."
"Every meal was fantastic, my partner had the fish and chips, a huge portion and very tasty."
"Had a very nice Steak and Stilton Pie for lunch, my wife had Thai fish cakes, very tasty, very filling, no room for desert."
"Easily the best place I've ever eaten. I had the vegetarian lasagne which came with garlic bread (enough to warrant a return visit by itself!)."
"The Steak & Stilton Pie is truly the best I've ever had: beautiful tender trimmed meat - and plenty of it."
"The steak and stilton pie was to die for. The buttery pastry melted in my mouth and the steak in stilton was so tender it fell apart."
Cons:
"We ate there as well and that was disappointing."
"It was a very cheap mass produced pasty with thick heavy pastry and containing just a homogenised mush."
"Food was average and cold, not at all worth the price."
"However steak and ale pie dish we had was quite bland and too bigger portion for our stomachs."
"However, we felt the food was mediocre and overpriced."
"The fishcakes were small and bland (and we have small appetites) and generally unexciting, the fish and chips was sad looking - really thick batter with a tiny fillet of cod inside."
"The portions were large, but very mass catering like."
Service
Pros:
"Friendly, efficient staff, great food and a very decent selection of local ales."
"Brilliant friendly staff we turned up late after they had finished cooking hungry with 2 kids and they asked the kitchen and they stayed to cook for us."
"Attentive bar staff and waiting staff go the extra mile."
"Service was amazing, food and drink top class."
"Great service taking into consideration of the busy period."
"The bar staff and their service was excellent and above and beyond."
"Service was impeccable, down to earth and very friendly."
Cons:
"After waiting nearly 30 minutes to get a drink and order our food, we then waited just over 1.5 hours for the food to come."
"Owner was extremely rude and unhelpful, which ruined a nice day."
"Service is fairly quick but on this particular visit we found one staff member quite unfriendly."
"Sadly didn't get round to ordering the food as we were met with a very rude response by the lady behind the bar."
"Rude staff and average quality of food."
"However the older man who took our order was rude, sarcastic and obnoxious."
"We felt like the staff were trying to hurry us along the whole night."
Ambience
Pros:
"For those looking for the feeling of a real country pub."
"Entertainment is provided by the ducks and chickens who wander randomly around the garden and enjoy a paddle in the stream."
"The building looks like it's straight out of the 1800s (in a good way) and the surroundings of Widecome On The Moore really make it feel really special."
"Sit outside in the garden and listen to the ducks and other poultry - one of them has a particularly hilarious quack which we found especially amusing."
"Lovely old pub, on the heart of the Moor."
"The setting is beautiful - old building at the bottom of the valley with a little stream flowing a long the side of the building."
"Lovely ambience in the beer garden where chewbacca chicken and its troop roaming around, its cute."
Cons:
"Didn't on the whole like the atmosphere or patrons will avoid in future."
"Pretty pub but I can't understand why any pub would want to host a hunt let alone the particularly nasty South Devon Hunt."
"We were seated next to a noisy family while there were plenty of seats in another room."
"If you like your food served in a Zoo then this is the place for you."
"The quirky system of reading the menu off blackboards on a crowded corridor was a little bit testing."
Facilities
Pros:
"Dog friendly and plenty of outdoor tables to enjoy your meal al-fresco with your canine friend."
"Not much seating indoors, so book a table in the winter. Don't be put off in the summer by rain - the sun shades on the outside tables are both large and waterproof."
"There is a car park across the road, which is free for a change."
"There's a large car park and camp site close by."
"Lovely pub with a big garden."
"A real taste of a local pub where you can takeaway the local beer and cider in a 4 pint milk carton!"
"Great little cottage with everything you need and next to the picture perfect inn with fantastic food!"
