Ten Tors Inn

The Ten Tors Inn on Exeter Road in Kingsteignton has been run by Tom since October 2018, and the pub has been steadily improved under his ownership since - regulars talk about it as a different place to how it was before the change of hands. The farmhouse carvery is served daily and built around fresh roasted vegetables - reviewers regularly single out the veg and the gravy as much as the meat - alongside fresh fish dishes and a brunch menu running Wednesday to Saturday mornings.

It's a friendly, vibrant pub that handles large parties well even when fully booked, with food service running lunchtime and evening through the week and Sunday afternoons. Opening hours stretch late on Fridays and Saturdays, when the bar runs until midnight, and staff are consistently praised for going out of their way to fit people in even at short notice.
