The story

Modern British Dining at The Chagford Inn in Chagford, Devon

The Kitchen and Seasonal Cooking

Modern British cooking at The Chagford Inn follows the rhythm of the Devon landscape. Head chef Ollie draws on his training at Exeter College to craft a menu that shifts with daily deliveries from local growers and South Coast fishermen. The approach rewards patience rather than pretence. Two AA Rosettes reflect this steady commitment to seasonal ingredients and precise technique. Every plate relies on provenance before presentation.

History and Atmosphere

Standing on Mill Street for over two centuries, the building has worn several names before settling as The Chagford Inn in 2014. Ollie and Jordan took ownership in 2020 and now run the floor alongside their two children and Labrador dogs. The courtyard garden frames casual dining without sacrificing comfort. Staff members operate like an extended family, which keeps the pace relaxed and attentive.

Environmental Commitment and Drinks

Sustainability shapes nearly every operational choice behind the scenes. Electricity runs on a zero carbon tariff while a newly fitted voltage optimiser trims energy draw across the kitchen. Food waste moves through an on site hot composter and the drink list features exclusively independent breweries alongside locally distilled spirits. Guests can expect seasonal dishes executed with regional British craftsmanship in a space that treats both people and land with equal care.
