“Not as good as usual”
Review of The Cridford Inn

The Cridford Inn
Ranked #1 of 1 Restaurants in Trusham
Certificate of Excellence
Price range: S$10 - S$43
Description: The Cridford Inn - the oldest pub/inn in Devon and possibly the oldest in England dates back to 825AD. It had previously served as a nunnery and a farm, being originally inhabited by the early Britons/Celts, before the building was remodelled in 1081. In 1086 it was one of the nine small-holdings mentioned in the “Domesday Book” and by then belonged to the Abbey of Buckfast in the Manor of Trusham - a small village that’s nestled in the Teign Valley between Chudleigh, Newton Abbot and Exeter. With cob walls, a thatched roof and inglenook fireplaces, this traditional Devon Longhouse is approached by passing over a babbling brook, guarded by Willy Catchum and his faithful girl Teresa Green. Why not throw a coin in the lucky wishing well? This is a quintessential and quietly lovely English country Inn, offering the best locally sourced produce and interesting meals - from traditional pub food, to unmissable experiences, all prepared by skilled chefs who care passionately about food

Thank you for your review and feedback. Was it the choice of beer or quality that was poor? We really look after our beer and have a strict line cleaning process and are regularly complemented on how well kept it is. I’m sorry that we weren’t up to standard for you this time we will work harder.

Lovely old historic inn in a very secluded position, took some finding, but well worth it. Friendly locals and really nice food, we had a really nice night

Great place to go, reeeaally out of the way, and quiet. The food could do with some improvement. Service and atmosphere were very good.

Absolutely superb service. We came for lunch after one of the walks on their website. One of us had to do a work call and they couldn't have been more helpful finding a quiet area for him. The food was excellent and the service astoundingly good.
