The Devonport Inn

Where to begin where to end and where to take a breather in the middle.
The Devonport Inn, Excellent Food, Good Ales, Good Staff, Excellent Views… Not in Devonport confusingly.
The village this Pub is nestled in is so picturesque when combined with good weather you’d happily wonder whats the point of going abroad.
Kingsand is not massively accesible, but once you’re there with places like the Devonport there you don’t need to go anywhere.
Sat looking over the beach you can happily sit outside to eat or drink and easily take 20 paces to feel the sand between your toes, at night the view doesn’t dissapoint either looking.
The Devonport is a Free house and so can get in whatever beer it fancies, however I will temper this with the four pubs in the village do appear to quite like having Skinners on Tap and then a couple of others to keep the variety going.
The place is run by Dawn and Jerome, Dawn manages the front of house as a friendly and helpful Landlady, while Jerome makes magic happen in the kitchen.
The Food from sauces to pies, chutneys to cheesecake Jerome makes it all himself, and if you’re a fan of supporting local business’ then with the Devonport you get a double whammy as Jerome makes it his business to supply his kitchen with produce as close by as possible (from getting rhubarb in the local gardens to going to sea with the fisherman who live in the village), the only things he doesnt make are his bread and pasties, but they come from the bakery just round the corner.
Does this attention to detail come at a price? I don’t think so, the quality surpasses the price (I’ve got to recommend the Rib Eye steak, which comes with chips done in beef dripping… sooo tasty) and I would happily say their food is of the same quality as top restuarants Citys like London and Manchester where you’d easily be paying double if not more.
Pints workout about £2.50 lovely lovely, the wine is not cheap plonkand that is shown on the price, again like the food you’re paying for quality (I had an amazing Rioja which I’m kicking myself for not noting the name of), I didn’t get round to spirits so not sure how they workout.
Something that I must mention as it is a personal love of mine. The Devonport has no TV’s. It’s a pub… that’s a pub, it relies of its drinks and food not what «Football» is on to get people in.
If you find yourself in this little village, you’d be a fool not to visit the Devonport
