The Dartmoor Inn
A family-run pub on the A386 at Lydford, listed in the Michelin Guide, with a menu that changes daily with the seasons.
Set on the A386 road in the village of Lydford, on the western edge of the moor, this rustic pub has been run by head chef Jay Barker-Jones and his family since 2019. Its old-fashioned decor creates a warm and welcoming feel. The Michelin Guide praises its simple pub menu, which makes good use of local produce and changes often. Typical dishes include venison loin with venison leg ragù and pork belly with braised pig's cheek, and there is a dedicated vegan menu. Prices are mid-range. It has parking and a terrace, and rooms are available upstairs. It has very high ratings on Tripadvisor, so booking ahead at weekends is advised.
