Ashburton Arms - Menu

Good, tiny pub in beautiful Devon that has a unique selection of beer and some fun food days.

Don't let the pink paint job on the outside put you off this welcoming and lovely place. We had a great meal washed down with great beer good value and well worth the stop.

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and was welcoming, but when I inquired about the beer selection, they only had one option available. While the beer was decent, I prefer a wider variety to choose from. Due to this limited selection, we decided not to dine at the restaurant.

After spending the morning at Thurlston sands beach, we left Kingsbridge and came across the Ashburton Arms by accident. We were made very welcome in this dog friendly pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our two course Sunday lunch and our Golden Retriever was also treated by the owners. Worth visiting for traditional food hospitality.

Stayed for two nights recently. Concerned as there were very few people there. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was nice.Room however needs a complete update, bed was comfy but bathroom was very old and toilet made a horrible noise when flushing! Generally grubby looking, towels small and rough.Website makes it look much more appealing than it is.

We were away for a camping weekend in Slapton and unfortunately broke down on our 2nd day! Luckily right outside the Ashburton Arms and thank goodness. Can't thank Ray the landlord enough for his help, eventually 7 hours later the AA recovered us and our poorly campervan plus dog back home. Whilst there we sampled both beer and food, which were excellent, so although an unplanned stop, well worth a visit. We will return under better circumstances!

Friendly greeting on arrival, not very busy which initially caused me some concern as all other village pubs were rammed hence going here for dinner. Owner was helpful advising me about gluten free options though his comment that ‘everything is killed at 180 degrees in a fryer’ made me very nervous as obviously as a Coeliac of 12 years I know this is definitely not the case! However he was able to advise that they had a separate fryer for the non gluten items which was a bit more reassuring. I would say food quality was 3/5 it felt like frozen/ pre packaged food rather than all totally fresh but was ok for money. Positive was good choice of local ales which other pubs don’t have . Probably w...

Went to the Ashburton Arms after my wife read some favourable reviews on TripAdvisor...When we arrived and looked at the pub from the outside both of us were of the opinion that this might not have been the best decision for lunch (from an experience we had the other day at another pub in the area)Fortunately we were wrong. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming man who I assume was the owner. He was funny and engaged us in conversation pointing out the specials etc and contrary to reviews regarding his manner we found him amusing and witty. I guess it would depend on your sense of humour ;)The food was good quality. My wife had pork medallions, I had the sirloin steak and my son had th...

This restaurant is a terrible place to eat. We did not have a reservation and were seated at tables near the bar. We waited almost 20 minutes for our meals, which arrived lukewarm. The lady who served us seemed friendly, but the pub was scruffy and dated, with unprofessional staff. The chef, who appeared to be foreign, came out of the kitchen before our meal, swearing and complaining about his colleagues instead of focusing on our food. This may explain why our meals were cold and bland. As someone who has worked in catering for 17 years in similar and higher-rated establishments, I was appalled by this unprofessional behavior in front of customers. My order was loaded with cinnamon and star...
