The Burrator Inn

The Burrator Inn is in perfect location for cyclists and walkers and visitors to the moors and reservoir. The food is average along with the prices. The lunchtime menu is good value for money and the fish and chips are recommended! There is ample parking with a good play area and picnic tables to eat outside, even though it is on the main road, it is safe for children.

The Inn has changed hands a few times and is currently looking much better than it previously did. Along with this, the food has improved. It has something for everyone, caters for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The portions can be a little on the small side, especially if you are having any meal deal. The location is good for exploring dartmoor and it has plenty of parking. The ladies toilets could be improved (lights that worked above the cubicles for starters). Overall, pretty good.

I have eaten in this pub/​restaurant lots of times. If they aren’t too busy they will knock up a vegan stir-​fry which isn’t on the menu! Just wish the portions for the veggie meals were larger — they are small compared to the large plate of fish/​gammon, peas and chips which my relatives have. We have also stayed here in one of the four-​poster bedrooms which was a lovely treat and breakfasts are provided of course. It’s a useful stopping off point to explore this beautiful part of Dartmoor and South Devon. Very near to Burrator Reservoir which is a lovely place to walk around. UPDATE DECEMBER 2008: Having had another meal there this month, I have now heard from the landlord, a very helpful man who is committed to customer service, and he has assured me that many changes are being made to further improve the restaurant. I look forward to eating there again next year and writing a new review then.
