The story
Tally Ho! Country Inn and Brewery in Hatherleigh builds its South West pub cooking around trusted regional farmers and butchers. The kitchen prepares straightforward dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients that highlight local agriculture. This dedication to provenance earned the establishment an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence in 2026. Diners encounter honest cooking where ingredient quality dictates every plate rather than complex technique.
The inn operates its own brewery alongside a carefully curated tap list featuring South West craft producers. Brewers at the property balance traditional methods with modern hop selections to create consistent draught offerings. Guests can choose from pale ales, milk stouts, and crisp pilsners sourced from nearby Devon and Sussex facilities. The beverage program complements the Devon pub fare by matching lighter draught options with the kitchen’s seasonal offerings.
Occupying a fifteenth century structure near the edge of Dartmoor, the building retains exposed timber beams and stone walls. Visitors often arrive along the Tarka Trail seeking a rest stop after long rides through the county. The quiet corridors encourage unhurried meals without demanding attention from guests. Natural light filters through leaded windows onto worn wooden tables used for decades.
