Welcome to the Highwayman’s Haunt, a thirteenth century inn nestling in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside with its rolling hills, farmhouses and stately homes – a view that has hardly changed over the centuries.

We have a play area and a lovely garden for children to enjoy whilst parents relax on our large sunny patio area.Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!

First time visit, very impressed with decor and ambiance as soon as I walked in the door. Sat on lovely sofas chatting to my friend while we perused the menu. Food was lovely, plenty. Then back to sofas to finish our drink and chat. Very relaxed atmosphere. Will defiantly be back and have already recommended it to friends and family.

We have dined at this hotel on numerous occasions and each time the service and quality of the food has been excellent. We will obviously use this Hotel again and again and recommend it to others. What a gem.

Food was ok but service was quite slow & poor. Very young and un trained staff were serving us. We had to keep calling them over for drinks or other items. They were pleasant enough but clearly very new and inexperienced. I am sure with better training they would be fine.

Much improved in all respects since our last visit in the summer of 2017. New owners? new chef? Food was superb, lovely and hot well presented and friendly service. Good value for money. Back on our list of regular places to eat.

I would absolutely recommend this little gem of a pub to anyone. You'll need to drive to get to it and we went out our way following our last visit. This pub didn't disappoint again. The Sunday carvery is fantastic. The chef is very passionate about his food and talks about the meat he has cooked and will carve. The beef was from a breed he's not cooked with before and took the time to come over to our table for our feedback. We are planning our next visit in the summer and will be driving from South West to chudleigh just for the food.

We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery.

I have used the Highwaymans a lot as I live nearby , and I have to say having changed hands recently it was the best meal we have had for a long time, friendly staff , good ambiance, and most importantly they allow dogs in the restaurant which for a dog walker it's lovely to be in the warm rather than having to eat outside, highly recommend this place .

First visit - with friends. Lovely meal. So many things we would have liked, but had to ration ourselves - so will definitely be visiting again soon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice surroundings and ambience. I would have been happy to stay and sit on one of the sofas with a pot of tea and a book! Would definitely recommend to friends. In fact our friends were talking about coming back in the week with relatives - so they may have even been today...
