Devon has lots of lovely old pubs to visit for a quick lunch or a great evening meal out here are just a few of our favourites which have been researched extensively !
Frenchs' Cosmopolitan Bistro Restaurant Tel 01769 580 023
We recently came across this lovely bistro restaurant just down the road in Chumbleigh, Mid Devon and had a lovely evening meal. It was affordable and interesting food in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. They believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to enjoy good wholesome food that is more varied than the usual pub fare.
We highly recommend trying it.
