Only a limited carvery available, no vegetarian option or specials available despite menus on full view. Food okay but lacking in care. Third visit and maybe the last. Better than a chain pub but not much.

The first impression when you walk in is......"a good example of a typical Devonshire pub". Yeh, nice, good atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Good landlord. The food arrived very quickly . A very generous, delicious portion of pie, Chips and peas and piping hot.

We visited the Blagdon Inn on a lovely sunny saturday evening and the staff were very welcoming and seated us straight away. I had the fish and chips which was absolutely delicious, the batter was so crispy and light and the fish was great. My boyfriend had the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly for him.

We had been told that the Blagdon were now doing a carvery so thought we would pop along and try it. We went on Wednesday and we were really impressed. The staff were really friendly and attentive too. We will be going back again soon. Thank you

As you drive out of Paignton toward Totnes you come upon a sign for the Blagdon Inn take the opportunity to drive in and have a meal. The road in takes you through a caravan park but do not let this put you off as you are about to find a little gem. It nestles in a dip with plenty... More

This was the first visit since they changed from table service to carvery. Table service was more enjoyable. It has altered the atmosphere and will continue until at least the end of the summer holidays. Please go back to table service.

Booked a table for 6 quite late on a Wednesday afternoon to be told it was a Carvery. Not a huge issue but if I am honest I did not realise that there would be no other choice but maybe I should have guessed. Site is easy to find with lots of free parking. Once inside it is a bit... More

Really nice food and good service. Plenty of free car parking space and very easy to find on the Paignton to Totnes Road. Toilets clean and good beer. Good variation of wine.

Popped in for a carvery last week after it was recommended to me by a friend and I have to say it was fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive and the young man behind the bar (I think he may have been the manager) bent over backwards to make sure everything was as good as it could be, he... More

Whether you are popping in for a pint or staying for a full slap-up feed this is a great oasis in the otherwise dreary selection of pubs in the area. Despite the ugly setting in the middle of a campsite it is well worth the visit. pub quizzes on Tuesday, great carvery on other nights and some of the most... More
