Globe Inn

We had lunch at this nice Inn while on a ramble around the beautiful village of Chagford. I had a fab Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich (crispy bacon, thank God) with the best slaw I’ve had in a long time. My daughter had fish and chips — the fish was beer batter fried and huge! She loved it.
Very friendly staff, tiny garden in the back. They have a book exchange there so you can eat your lunch and exchange your book for another at the same time!

Chagford is a small town yet boasts four pubs in spitting distance of each other. On this occasion we tried the Globe, which is an imposing stone built edifice more or less opposite the church. Inside it is atmospherically gloomy, necessarily so as it has yet to succumb to the usual improvement of knocking through to make one big, characterless bar this is, to my mind, is a massive plus point. There are two bars, on our visit, an empty public bar and a more used lounge, complete with cosy little reading corner tucked in beside the small bar, complete with settee and bookshelf. Across the room is a large, probably original fire, as there also is in the other bar.
There is no car park although the cheap town centre car park is a short walk away and there is free dieabled parking opposite.
A small choice of real ales were perfectly fine and the food a good average pub fare. Service was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go there again although probably not until I have sampled the other pubs in beauitiful Chagford.
