Walkhampton Inn

Although we never tried the food here at the Walkhampton Inn, I have to give it 5*. My wife, two young daughters and myself popped in for a drink at the end of October 2010, whilst going for a walk from Yelverton. We had already re-​booked our lunch at The Rock, Yelverton, so it was pointless sampling the food.
Walkhampton is a quintessential Devon Village, absolutely gorgeous. Next to the pub, there is a little stream and old stone bridge, where we took some photos, and had we not been pushed for time, would gladly have spent a few hours there.
As soon as we walked through the door, the aura, warmth and friendlieness of the place just jumped out at you. There were a great selection of local real ales on sale, and as I had never tasted any of those particular beers, the lovely barmaid (sorry I have forgotten your name, but you were wearing a Union Flag tee-​shirt, and very attractive) offered me a free sample to see which one I would buy.
I then got chatting to her, and one of the very friendly locals, and told them I was a Plymouth Argyle fan, and travelled across from Northern Ireland at least three times a year. The offer of a free sample, was just typical of English country people, especially Devon people, and it is little touches such as that, which go a long way. The log fire in the bar, was another warm, welcoming touch, to match the hospitality of the staff and locals.
Argyle aren’t doing so well as I write, but I hope to be over again before May, and will definately be back to the Walkhampton Inn, and will be spending more time, both in this fantastic pub and village. My two daughters, the youngest eleven months at the time, were made more than welcome. A true example of the Best Of British.

The Inn is in the tiny village of Walkhampton and it is very pretty and traditional. There is parking for several cars, but there is more parking nearby. This used to be a brilliant place for food, but then it was taken over (I am not sure how many times) and it has not been good since. I thought having fish and chips would be a safe bet, but they managed to ruin it. The fish was overcooked and the chips were not good either. They might improve, as long as people give feedback.
