Rugglestone Inn
An old stone pub just outside Widecombe, with a stream running through the garden and homemade pies that walkers love.
This traditional stone-built Dartmoor pub sits on a lane just outside the village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor. A stream runs through its garden, and The Times once named it one of Britain's best pub gardens. The menu is written on a blackboard in the corridor, and dishes are cooked to order. The signature is the homemade pies, including fish pie, beef and Stilton pie and beef and ale pie, along with battered fish and chips and deep-fried Brie starters, all very generous portions. Beer and cider are served straight from the cask, from local producers. The pub is small with few seats, so booking is advised, and food can be slow to arrive. There is free parking.
