The Grove Inn certainly deserves its reputation for being an excellent pub. We enjoyed a delicious meal here, my husband ate beef wellington (fillet stake, done rare) and myself a vegetarian wellington (goats cheese, courgette, tomato sauce, perfect pastry). To go with out mains were dauphinois potatoes and a delicious selection of season veg. We followed this with hot chocolate pudding and home made treacle tart, both of which were fantastic. Add to this a pleasant and un-rushed ambiance, nice staff and wonderful real ales and you have a definite winner!

I was encouraged to make the detour here by friends and they were not wrong. The drive to the pretty village was worth it, let alone the superb hospitality that we received. It was nice to be in such a friendly welcoming pub where everyone was relaxed and chatty. It was also wonderful to find somewhere where we could have Sunday lunch and take the dog (unfortunately for her there were no leftovers as it was all too good!) The ordered all three courses because they sounded delicious and were under £13 for all three! As a vegetarian it is very difficult to find a decent Sunday lunch but here I had a starter of grilled goat's cheese salad and then an amazing veggie Wellington with all the trimmings. My partner raved about his home-made pate and the ruby red Devon beef and Exmoor Ale Yorkshire pudding. We both couldn't resist having Chef Deborah's signature hot chocolate pudding and it was delicious. I only wish I lived near this pub so I could go all the time.

This is a wonderful country pub where one can have a very good meal, well served and with a good choice for gourmets.
