   WELL worth the 1 hour plus drive from Plymouth! A wonderful out of the way place, through amazing Devon country lanes with awesome views. The food, wine and cold beer was excellent! The BEST fish n chips and burger. Staff very friendly (as were the locals) efficient and professional. Just wished we could have stayed for the music gig. We will be back!!

   Delicious creative food. Fantastic atmosphere with live band. Everyone super friendly. Prompt service despite the place being rammed. Had a fantastic evening. Wished we lived closer.

   Had a wonderful meal at the Pigs Nose today with the family. Great food, excellent service and live band to boot. Have already booked for Easter Sunday lunch.

   Lovely, family run country pub with serving The Best Sunday lunches, crispiest roast potatoes, large Yorkshire puds and tasty gravy! Rustic and traditional in essence. The best place to go if you want to take a step away from every day life, and enjoy good food, drink and a friendly atmosphere. A little off the beaten track, bit oh, so worth it!

   What a wonderful review — thank you so much! We’re so proud to be a family-run pub, and it means the world to hear you enjoyed your Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. We love that you described us as a proper escape — that’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we aim to create. If you’ve got a spare minute, we’d be so grateful if you shared your kind words on TripAdvisor too — it really helps others find their way to us, even if we are a little off the beaten track! Hope to see you again soon.

   A jolly and unusual pub! Food pretty good and pleasant staff. Rather noisy. We had to wait a long time for food to arrive which was not so good for a group with hungry children. If we had been told would be a long wait we would have ordered nibbles! Staters looked very good and could be offered as main course size

   Thanks so much for your honest review — we're really glad you enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and that our team made you feel welcome. We're sorry to hear about the wait, especially with hungry little ones — that’s definitely something we’ll take on board. We always aim to give guests a heads-up during busy periods, and we’ll make sure we’re better at that going forward. Really appreciate the suggestion about offering starters in main course size too — that’s a great idea. If you ever fancy giving us another go, we’d love to welcome you back (and we’ll have the nibbles ready next time!).

   A recent favourable newspaper review of The Pig’s Nose prompted this visit and the hour long journey was worth it. Unassuming but with really lovely service, smashing food and great ambiance. How many traditional pubs serve soda bread with anchovy butter and delicious fried padron peppers? It is more than a traditional pub. It was busy as traditional pubs often are,but in a good way although I do wonder how it copes in the holiday season?

   Thank you so much for making the trip — we’re really glad the review tempted you down to see us, and even more glad it was worth the journey! We love being rooted in tradition but also surprising people with something a bit different, so it's lovely to hear you enjoyed the soda bread, anchovy butter and padron peppers — they’re fast becoming favourites. We do get lively in the holiday season, but we’ve got a great team who know how to handle the bustle (and keep the anchovy butter flowing!). If you’ve got a moment, we’d be so grateful if you could share your kind words on TripAdvisor too — it really helps spread the word. Hope to see you again soon!
