Dining at The Royal
Nestled in the heart of the countryside, The Royal invites you to savor hearty, home-cooked meals, prepared using local ingredients. Our menu celebrates the best of Devon and Cornwall, featuring seasonal produce from nearby farms and time-honored recipes that warm the soul.
The Royal, a 15th-century pub in Horsebridge, West Devon, sits on the Tamar Trail in the scenic Tamar Valley, near the historic Horsebridge built in 1437. Originally a nunnery, this charming country pub features beamed ceilings, open log fires, and a welcoming atmosphere. It offers traditional home-cooked cuisine using locally sourced produce, including fresh fish, venison, and pheasant, alongside real ales and a Sunday roast.
With a beer garden, ample parking, and sheltered outdoor seating, it’s a cozy spot for locals and visitors alike.
