AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY PUB and RESTAURANT

A village pub in the heart of the glorious Devon countryside

The Good Food Guide's 100 Best Dining Pubs in Britain 2025. Awarded two Golds at the Food Drink Devon Awards 2025/26 with a Hospitality Pub Gold Award and a Hospitality Takeaway Gold Award and winner of Best Takeaway 2025/26. Winner of the Muddy Stilettos Best Destination Pub in Devon in 2023.

 

Set in beautiful Devon countryside, this multi-roomed 19th century (1860) free-house is easily accessible (2mins walk) from Yeoford Station on The Tarka Line connecting Exeter to Barnstaple. Locally brewed Devon ales, including our own label Muddy Duck ale, local Devon lagers, Sandford Cider and an eclectic list of over 40 wines, plus 20 sold by the glass. We also have our own wine label: Dry White, Fruity Red and Rosé. Add soft drinks and spirits, an interesting selection of local gins, freshly brewed coffee and tea, practically on tap, there's something for everyone. Outside is our under cover Duck Shed, beer garden and children's play area.

LOCALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS

Our menu is bursting with fresh and unusual treats and bar nibbles 

We serve a different menu for lunch and dinner, but always fish, steak, and a salad, with a vegetarian and vegan option. Our signature dish is Creedy Carver Confit Duck Leg Cassoulet. Puddings are utterly tempting with Sticky Toffee Pudding, a Chocolate Brownie, Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Parfait or our cheese board. There's a children's menu and bar and kitchen nibbles are available throughout the day. Just let our staff know if there are any special dietary needs.
