Member Overview
Award‑Winning Gastropub Celebrating Devon Produce on Dartmoor
The Chagford Inn is an acclaimed food‑led pub with rooms located in the historic stannary town of Chagford, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. With a history spanning over 200 years, the pub has evolved into one of Devon’s most respected gastropubs, recognised nationally for its seasonal, produce‑driven menus and warm, genuine hospitality.
A Pub with a Proud Dartmoor Heritage
Sitting just off Chagford’s main square, The Chagford Inn has long been part of local life. Known previously as The Bakers Arms and Buller’s Arms, it has carried its current name since 2014 and has been owner‑run by Ollie and Jordan since 2020. The pair live on site with their family, reinforcing the inn’s strong community roots and welcoming atmosphere.
Inside, the pub balances tradition and modern comfort, with exposed beams, fireside corners and a relaxed bar space that feels equally suited to muddy‑boot Dartmoor walkers and destination diners.
Food‑Led Gastropub Dining
At the heart of The Chagford Inn is an ever‑changing, seasonal menu built around the best produce Devon has to offer. The kitchen works closely with local farmers, growers, gardeners and fishermen, ensuring ingredients are fresh, traceable and at their best.
Menus typically include:
- A seasonal à la carte menu, showcasing refined but approachable dishes
- A pub classics menu, offering elevated versions of familiar favourites
- Strong vegetarian and vegan options
- Dishes that reflect nose‑to‑tail and low‑waste cooking, including in‑house butchery
Pasta and bread are made on site, and meat is pasture‑fed, free‑range or wild wherever possible.
