The price outside showed Sunday Lunch £4.95, but inside it was £6.95 for small and £8.50 for normal size. The staff were excellent, sorry I couldn't say the same for the main course, fisrtly the yorkshire pudding was too large and empty and overcooked, you couldn't cut it very well. The roast beef was a bit stringy and tough, also... More

Such a shame that you did not share your views with us whilst you were here so that we would have had the opportunity to rectify any mistakes. We are unaware of any signs offering Sunday Lunch for the price you mention. We asked you about your meal and you said that everything was fine. On a positive note we... More

My parents have recently moved to the holsworthy area and were having trouble finding places to go out and eat where they would be able to take their dog with them. A friend who'd visited the area on holiday told me the Rydon Inn was dog friendly so I suggested it the next time I was visiting. The food was... More

We arrived with reasonable expectations, but this place was freezing! When you are dining, and not working (as the staff forget) the first basic is that it is warm! The second is that 'dog friendly' means exactly that - but, here it means there are two tables you can sit at, so freezing cold, our choice in front of the... More

I am very sorry that you left without saying how you felt. Sarah told you that your dogs are allowed by the fire but you wanted to take them into a restricted area. If you had said that you were cold I would have put an electric heater next to you. I consider 22C to be comfortable. I am sorry... More

We arrived on a stormy night and the staff were delightful. The food was excellent traditional pub food. The Steak and ale pie was very good with a yummy shortcrust pastry. My husband had fish with minted mushy peas which were delicious. My only regret is that I did not have enough room for the yummy desserts. Would definitely return. More

We again visited the Rydon Inn and had an excellent meal as we have come to expect. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and it has the added bonus that our dogs are made as welcome as we are - all this means that it is an essential part of our regular holidays in the Holsworthy area.

Our family of 4 adults took dinner here and I have to say that it was without doubt the best meal that we have experienced for a long time. We were greeted on arrival in a most welcoming manner and supplied with our preprandial drinks before being ushered to our table. Our first courses arrived very quickly after ordering. The... More
