New Dish Alert 🐟

Straight from the Cornish coast to your plate. Chargrilled Cornish sardines, sweet cherry tomato salsa on toast, finished with a red onion chutney.

Sourced from Cornish waters and cooked simply over the flame, this one’s all about letting proper West Country produce do the talking.

Served with our homemade beef fat butter, a balsamic & chive oil dip and olives, it’s the perfect way to begin your meal or enjoy with friends over a drink.

A big thank you to Happy Belly Bakery for supplying such amazing bread and helping us keep it local.

A gentle reminder for anyone exploring Dartmoor with us

We love sharing this wild, open landscape, but it only stays this beautiful if we all look after it. Please don’t light BBQs or campfires on the moor. Dry grass, gorse and peat catch fire fast and a single spark can destroy habitats that take decades to recover.

Smoking near the moorland grasses carries the same risk, so please be mindful. Stay away from vegetation.

This is also home to grazing livestock, ground nesting birds and the local families and farmers who live alongside it. A little consideration goes a long way in keeping Dartmoor wild for everyone who comes after us.

Let’s enjoy it responsibly 💚

Some people come for the food.

Some come for the drink.

Chargrilled baby gem, lightly kissed by the fire, served with house ranch sauce and crisp beef fat croutons.

Created to accompany our fire cooked menu, but worthy of the spotlight in its own right.

A true English classic, done properly.

Nothing says summer quite like English strawberries, fresh cream and homemade meringue.

Our take on the classic Eton Mess is made using only the finest English strawberries, layered with silky whipped cream, crisp homemade meringue and finished with a vibrant strawberry coulis and fresh mint.

Simple, fresh and utterly delicious… chef’s kiss. 👨‍🍳💋

The perfect way to finish your meal at the Dartmoor Inn.

Already the star of the starters…

Our hand-chopped beef tartare has quickly become a firm favourite and it’s easy to see why.

Prepared fresh to order with the finest quality grass fed beef, carefully seasoned and finished with a rich egg yolk, served alongside toasted sourdough, butter and pickled accompaniments.

Simple, a true classic and done properly.

If you haven’t tried it yet, this is your sign. ✨
