Popped in, during a long walk across the moors, to refuel with a pint and snack. Ended up sharing a cracking steak baguette with my mate, as we didn't want to fill up too much before finishing the yomp! Quiet location 👌 Great service 👌 Nice food from the open grill! 🔥 Reasonably priced shelter from the harsh moorland weather. 🤙

Beautiful place and restaurant. The only issue is, when choosing a piece of steak, we were told that the only way chef would cook it, is the only way chef would eat it. Which meant rare. I don’t like rare, and my husband hates it. We came to a compromise. Unfortunately when served, it wasn’t rare, it was raw. This cost £100! I just wish that I had been served food that I enjoyed eating. Unfortunately I won’t return. We have supported this establishment and the chef, but we felt that we just weren’t listened to. Indeed we were told next time the chef would only cook to his desire for each cut. It’s a bit of a liberty, especially when you try to support local. Maybe listen to your customers.

Went to Dartmoore Inn on recommendation from a waiter in another hotel 🤫 it was beyond our expectation i had scallops as a main they were to die for my husband had sirloin steak best he has ever had he said As I didn't get on with my starter the chef came and asked if there was a problem I said no just wasn't to my taste he said as I didn't enjoy it no charge but it was my choice!!! That was so kind Nothing too much trouble Definitely recommend

Had lunch in the Merrivale inn today, absolutely fabulous. Very warm welcome, lovely mixed menu, I had fish Jen had steak pie. It's lovely to see new blood making a go, very best of luck to you all, will definitely be back

👌 Yet again another fabulous steak cooked on the fire in front of us. Chef Frankly and his partner Lowri and their very professional team make the dining experience exceptional. We all had superb, succulent and very tasty Steaks that were cooked to perfection, served with a lovely fresh salad in a separate bowl, and ‘real’ chips made with ‘real’ potatoes, which were amazing. Peppercorn sauce is included too. Everything was served piping hot and none of us could fault it in anyway at all. I would highly recommend visiting and eating here at the moment. Franky and his team are exceptional, we have visited the other Pubs when Franky has been the chef there and we have always been VERY impressed, hence following him to his current position at Dartmoor Inn Merrivale (NOT to be confused with Dartmoor Inn at Lydford).

Whilst wishing to write a review on the Dartmoor Inn, there's not much that I can say that hasn't already been written by people far more qualified than I. This place had amazing reviews a couple of years ago and I tried to get there (work frustrated that). When I found an opportunity, it had closed and the Chef had left. He is now back. I attended last evening with my wife and son (on his birthday. They didn't know where they were going. We were warmly welcomed and had great customer service from 'The off'. My son seems to eat his own weight every day and was mesmerised by the array of steak cuts on display in the display/cooled cabinet. His eyes lit up at the Tomahawk steak (for two), but much as I love him, It was that big that I knew I wouldn't do it justice but he would. I couldn't cope with the thought of him eating two thirds of it! so we had 2 Ribeyes. Both just amazing. The steaks are from Philip Warren (which for those who know, tells its own story). My son (who is an expert on these things), said it was the best steak he has had. This is a great place with a superb Chef and great staff. I look forward to our next visit.

We had a roast today and everything about this roast was phenomenal! The meat cooked on the grill was cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tasty, tender and melt in the mouth. The veg selection was perfect too, especially the cauliflower cheese, it was so cheesy and delicious! Best roast ever!

Arrived at 7pm, ordered cocktails from the menu, told they have no mint, so ordered espresso martini, arrived in 30 seconds warm, queried this to be told they had no ice! Asked If it was out of a can, told 'no' but didn't hear a shaker, despite sitting very close to the bar. They re-made the drinks colder this time, acceptable, but not great. Ordered scallops £12 for 2 no bigger than 1p, tasty but small. Also, watched a waitress clear and relay a table without wiping it, holding forks by the prongs. I could see food and grease from the previous customers still on the table from where I was sitting. Not the evening out we expected. We also had to use the torches on our phones to read the menu as the area where we were seated was very dark. Having previously visited The Ship Inn, where we felt standards were quite high, this evening at the Dartmoor Inn was very disappointing. Poor service, poor hygiene and tiny portions. Sadly won't be visiting again.

I can't say enough how about great this place is. Beautiful location, the best steak I have ever had in my life, cooked in front of us on a real fire, and to perfection. Even the homemade chutney and peppercorn sauce was divine. I'll definitely be back to one of the best steak houses in the southwest. It's worth noting they also have firepits outside as well where they also cook. Just the best place and a great hidden gem

Food was proper tasty good quality, would comment on the sides however they never arrived. After requesting a spoon for the soup which was missed but these thing happen, our mains came out and the sides never followed. The food we did have was really good though, just let down by the service. Traveled just over two hours on the basis of a reccomendation, so slightly disheartened at the overall experience. Anniversary meal as well !!!!
