WELCOME TO THE CRIDFORD INN

POSSIBLY THE OLDEST...CERTAINLY THE MOST CHARMING!

GLOWING REVIEWS

“Perfect hidden gem tucked away. Staff were friendly and the place had a real historic feel about it.”

Darrell Mee

“Idyllic old devon gastro-pub. Superb food, olde-worlde atmosphere and accommodating staff. Lovely!”

Dave Crispin

“This lovely and classic country pub has a lovely restaurant section with some adventurous menu items and a healthy dose of local farm to table type meal offerings. For us veggies there was a very lush sounding cauliflower steak. Unfortunately we only had time to sample the truffle chips this visit, but the kitchen smells were divine. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions about the food we had [with me being an awkward planty based person these days]”

Gruffy Wright

“Fully lived up to its well-earned reputation. Excellent food, beers and staff.”

Steve Munday

“Wow, what a find! We had dinner Friday night which was amazing so we came back for Sunday lunch too. Service was excellent, Chloe looked after us both nights and we couldn’t ask for more. Amazing service. The food was brilliant, it’s the sort of high quality ingredients and great cooking you’d expect in a high end city restaurant. They have a small menu which is cooked to perfection.”

“What a fantastic historic building. Well worth a visit and stay. The food is delicious. You can tell how nice it is by the fact that we had to wait to get a parking place late Sunday afternoon as it was so busy.”

Andy Jones

“A delightful restaurant with 4 rooms for accommodation. The food is very good, especially the fish and chips which is outstanding. But there are many other excellent large and small plates to choose from. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.”

What a lovely place to go, the new owners are absolutely delightful , Ness and Paul and they cannot do enough for you , the food is great too , I can especially recommend the Turbot absolutely scrummy . I hear they are doing Christmas lunch too if I’d not already paid a deposit elsewhere I’d be booking ! . Well done guys at last The Cridford feels loved and it’s clean too ! .

What a great find! A lovely old inn, serving good beer, an unusual but tasty ginger cider and really good home cooked food. Well worth going out of your way to visit this place.

Fantastic family Sunday lunch. We ate here today as two families. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend this place

We just enjoyed the most incredible vegan Thai takeaway from The Cridford Inn (even my carnivorous husband loved it). I am blown away by the quality of food we have eaten. Every single mouthful was delicious and this is hands down the best takeaway I have had since going vegan nearly 2 years ago. What a treat to end a fairly rubbish week. Thank you!!

Another fabulous roast from The Cridford Inn today - Thank you. So incredibly tasty as always. I think one of the positives of the pandemic is that take-away roast has become "a thing"! Looking forward to when we can dine in the pub again but until then we intend to enjoy our takeaways in style!!

The oldest pub/inn in Devon and possibly the oldest in England dates back to 825AD.

It had previously served as a nunnery and a farm, being originally inhabited by the early Britons/Celts, before the building was remodelled in 1081. In 1086 it was one of the nine small-holdings mentioned in the “Domesday Book” and by then belonged to the Abbey of Buckfast in the Manor of Trusham - a small village that’s nestled in the Teign Valley between Chudleigh, Newton Abbot and Exeter.

With cob walls, a thatched roof and inglenook fireplaces, this traditional Devon Longhouse is approached by passing over a babbling brook, guarded by Willy Catchum and his faithful girl Teresa Green. Why not throw a coin in the lucky wishing well?

This is a quintessential and quietly lovely English country Inn, offering the best locally sourced produce and interesting meals - from traditional pub food, to unmissable experiences, all prepared by skilled chefs who care passionately about food.

Trusham is located on the western side of the Haldon Hills, above the river Teign, which forms the Dartmoor National Park boundary and is just over half-a-mile away. The village is accessed via minor roads which are predominately single track with passing places. The A38 passes within 2 miles at Chudleigh. The centre of the village has the O S grid reference SX 854 821 and for sat nav users the postcode is TQ13 0NR.
