“The cooking is all reliably performed by chef/owner Duncan” (Walker) at this well-established and descriptively named establishment, on the edge of Dartmoor, which he runs with his partner Anthea Christmas. Duncan used to be in charge of the stoves at Gidleigh Park, whose long drive starts just down the lane from the property.

Limited but still stellar feedback this year for this cosy, er, old inn on the edge of Dartmoor run by ex-Gidleigh Park chef Duncan Walker & Anthea Christmas. A conventional two-course or three-course menu offers some tempting, fairly traditional dishes.

Ex-Gidleigh Park chef Duncan Walker continues to win stellar marks for his food at this appealingly cosy, low-key seventeenth century village inn, on the edge of Dartmoor, and run together with Anthea Christmas; if you stay over in one of the three comfortable rooms “breakfast is also excellent”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
