The Horse

I had the meatball 'bada bing' calzonne. It was fine, but didn't quite live up to the hype of "...the best pizza this side of Rome". Portions were generous, and the food was nicely presented. Perfectly reasonable dinner, but I have had better. Service was perfectly pleasant, just not the fastest, given the place wasn't full.

The food served here is top notch and I would recommend the chicken meatball pasta dish over the pizza (which I also tried on another occasion). The other dishes aside from the promoted pizza are excellent in flavour. Unsure why pizza is promoted so much on the menu when Berto’s next door is better for pizza. Mix of friendly and not so friendly staff. Go for the other stuff on the menu, it really is fantastic!

If you ever wondered why the star system of Michelin was in place, it is to indicate what kind of restaurants are worth the roadtrip. This Pub run by a lovely family is very good, me and my family visited the establishment in the picturesque town of Moretonhampstead on a Friday afternoon and where pleasantly surprised from the first get go. The pub is alive and not super loud without music blasting out of the speakers. The design inside made me feel very welcome and the fact that they had a very local gin on the backbar even more. The menu for lunch was really good devided and very well priced. I choose the Rueben sandwich due to a past experience I encountered with one in Katz Deli New York. From the home smoked pastrami to the pleasantly sauerkraut and the crispy bread this was a sure winner and a defining reason for me to make that journey back to this lovely pub in the hills of Dartmoor. Thank you for the lovely service and the best Rueben I ate outside of New York city.

This is a great pub, which also does fantastic food. The front bar is friendly, relaxed, and a traditional British pub. There is also a more modern but still nice restaurant to the rear. The menu is a varied a la carte as well as an amazing range of handmade pizzas, and a separate lunch menu. The range of drinks is good, and staff are friendly and attentive.
