Description: A beautiful Jacobean manor house deep in the Devon countryside, Lewtrenchard Manor offers luxury dining in a sublime setting. Dating back to the 1600s, the Manor has an interesting and varied history, a fact that can be seen in every nook and cranny throughout the hotel and dining rooms. One of the finest restaurants in the county, the Lewtrenchard Manor restaurant is overseen by Chef Patron Jason Hornbuckle who learned his trade under the watchful eyes of some of London���s most respected chefs in high quality city establishments. Here, Hornbuckle has enthusiastically created a menu that makes the most of the best Devonshire produce available while employing the methods and flavour combinations of chic modern European cuisine, earning the restaurant three AA Rosettes. Lively and relaxed, Lewtrenchard Manor is a superb place in which to indulge in the very best food and, indeed, delightful wines from the extensive cellar of old and new world labels.

Nice atmospheric place, in a wonderful setting. Inside it is a bit dark & dreary and tired looking. Food is well cooked but very tiny portions at a very high price. A restaurant that aims to impress.

This is high quality dining at its best. It sits well compared to Gidleigh, Endsleigh and the Arundel Arms. A short menu but very well presented, excellent local flovours abound. Well balanced and excellent value, 2 courses £19.50. We have been charged £18.5 for a single course at a pub before now. A walk in the grounds and the large... More

The good news is that the Murray family are back! James and Sue know how to run this hotel and they are giving excellent advice to their son Duncan and his wife. We had a superb lunch, exceptionally good value, and much better quality than their local competition. The amuse bouche was particularly tasty. Their new chef had not started... More

Came here for my mums 70th with a Travel Zoo voucher to the purple carrot restaurant. 7 courses of pure bliss! The food & whole experience was fantastic. We later saw chef Steve Barringer on master chef final. Fantastic experience in a lovely location.

Arrived at the Reception to be met at the door and ushered into the Manor environs to be seated for canapés and a drink. Our host gave a potted history since 1626 and took our drinks order. Taken into the restaurant and settled at a table close to the log fire, the menu presented a series of delicious course options... More

Having just got back from lunch here, I just had to write a review!! Stunning stunning stunning. Two courses of the best food I have had in a very long time. Incredible value at £15 for two courses as they are raising money for the local childrens hospice (envelopes left on the table for donations). The amuse bouche, the bread... More

A country-house hotel that makes non-resident diners feel really welcome. The set menu (£19 for 3 courses at lunch) offers only a few choices, but everything is superbly executed, and intensely flavoursome. It’s “off the beaten track” between Okehampton and Tavistock, but well worth a detour.

I even found lead shot in the partridge (on my plate) which shows you its local wild birds. It didnt spoil the food but added to the authenticity
