The Mitre Inn
Pub Witheridge

Fantastic food, excellent service , beers good too

Don’t pass this one gem by. We are down here staying locally and was looking for a local pub/restaurant and on Monday we found this gem of a place. Eaten there for the last two nights and the food was amazing and the steaks were out of this world. Perfect host, he looked after us and his staff were great. As I said, a gem and I can’t wait to come back again. Thanks for making us feel so welcome, Richard and Michelle 👌

​We were recommended the Mitre Inn while on holiday, and just a few days in, we can already tell this visit will be one of the highlights of our trip!​The hosts and staff were very welcoming. Everyone was so genuinely attentive, and friendly, creating a cozy, relaxed atmosphere and very dog friendly.​As for the food—wow! Easily one of the best roasts we’ve ever had. The meat was amazingly tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection, with really generous portions. Everything on the plate, from the potatoes to the veg and gravy, was pure comfort on a plate. If they served roasts throughout the week, we’d honestly be back every single day!​The landlord is wonderfully friendly too, and you can really tell how much care and pride he puts into sourcing fantastic food and a top-notch selection of drinks on tap.​We can’t recommend the Mitre Inn enough—a total delight from start to finish!

6 of us enjoyed a fantastic meal. The staff went beyond great service. Menu is good, flowers spectacular and the pub is full of interesting items.

We ate and drank in The Mitre during our stay in Witheridge (July 2026). The pub has a great menu, very friendly staff and is very dog friendly (dog menu and free dog treats). There is ample on street parking near by and several tables out the front in the sunshine. The pub is a freehold and served many local beers (plus Peroni). A great spot for food and or a drink.

We had a very enjoyable anniversary meal here. We were warmly welcomed and given our choice of where to sit. We decided to eat in the quiet snug room behind the bar and it was a lovely evening.The service and food was impeccable and we will certainly be back.

We went for a Sunday roast. It was fantastic!Fantastic food, fantastic service, friendly people not just staff but everyone. Very nice atmosphere, we’ll be going again very soon.

Un très bon accueil, le barman, très commerçant 👏🏼

Had a lovely one night stay here last week with my mum whilst walking the Two Moors Way. The family room was incredibly spacious, very comfortable and had an amazingly powerful fan which we needed with the heatwave! Tasty dinner in the bar, and Alex was very helpful with providing us with a delicious home made packed lunch (very reasonable) for the next day. Rachel was a wonderful host and looked after us very well over breakfast and staff on check in were also very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it! Thank you 🙂

Sunday roast was excellent, great atmosphere, great service very welcoming

Local for a week Popped in for a quick one on our first night of holiday. Served by Seb. Lovely bloke, clocked our SEN son and was very supportive of him. Had Sunday lunch, by heck that was an experience. So much food. An experience to behold. Must be tried to be believed.
The ale was excellent and it was tried every day!!!
Had lunch on our last day with friends and it was just excellent.
Seb is a good host and a visit is necessary if visiting Witheridge.

Stayed on my way walking Two Moors Way as couldn’t find any accommodation in Knowstone. Food very good, room very good. Offered pack lunch in lieu of breakfast as I was leaving early, which is a nice touch.Would recommend the ploughman’s lunch even if you’re not staying.

We were staying locally, and The Mitre Inn came highly recommended, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.My partner is gluten free, and she honestly said it was one of the best gluten free meals she’s had in a long time. It’s so refreshing to find somewhere that doesn’t just cater for dietary requirements, but does it exceptionally well. The food was fantastic, and the owners were incredibly welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we were looked after and that my partner could enjoy a lovely meal without any worries.The only downside is that we live so far away, because this would easily become our local. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Mitre Inn and will definitely return if we’re ever back in the area.

Outstanding!Everything about this place is fantastic, I would recommend anybody for food and or drinks. Fantastic service, amazing food and the beers not bad either.Don’t forget to give Doyle some love ❤️

Popped in for dinner very friendly barman ,we had lasagne and salad it was really good delicious. Very dog friendly a great experience thanks .

Lovely place Lovely food and lots of it

What a wonderful village pub. Great food amazingly delicious home made cooking at its finest. Highly recommended 👏

Stopped in on our coast to coast hike.Great food and very friendly staff.Helped us out while we took our dog to the local vets.So helpful and kind.Thank you The Mitre Inn 🤩

I am holidaying on my own just outside Witheridge main village and spotted “seafood night” was on….I asked via messenger if I could reserve a table for just 1 and pre order the dish (with a slight amendment i wanted to make to the main mea I wanted to prevent my disappointment on my behalf if they ran out.I had instant responses to my messages and was assured no problem to all I asked for.I was seated in the snug which was really lovely, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend

Cannot recommend highly enough We’d had a long day, journeying from Kent coast to start our holiday and we wanted somewhere close by to eat. An ordinary looking pub on a village main street. The food and service was, however, far from ordinary. Excellent food, totally delicious. We all had something different and yet chef managed to get all dishes out at the same time, piping hot. Service and atmosphere very welcoming In fact, we are going back for our last night dinner…. can’t wait

Atmosphere was very friendly. Landlord was a credit to the pub. Service was excellent, food was fantastic. The steak n ale pie was so full of steak, no room for the gravy. It came separately in its boat! Like all good pub pies should be. Big slice of homemade joy. Not a flakey lid on slop. This was pure pleasure!

Super Sunday Lunch The very best Sunday lunch! Perfect roast potatoes, great selection of veg. Deserts to die for.

Always love going to the Mitre. Food is brilliant. Loving the new fresh menu

Lovely lunch today , friendly locals and staff and plenty of GF options.Will defo return

This is a lovely pub to go to. The experience started with a very friendly greeting on arrival, the food was amazing and for those with dogs they are dog friendly and even have a dog menu. I would highly recommend this pub, we will definitely be going there again.

Superb valentines meal. Food amazing and staff exceptional.

Excellent food, lovely bottle of wine, very friendly & efficient service – what’s not to like. We really enjoyed it!

Sunday lunch Excellent 3 course Sunday lunch – meat and veggie options, well cooked and wide range of tasty veg. Friendly service. Recommended.

I was invited to a Sunday lunch in the village of Witheridge – Devon, such a great lovely village, very quiet, we had Sunday lunch in The Mitre Inn, walked in, greeted by lovely dog old golden retriever, he was very quiet and calm dog. Had nice pork roast with crackling and all the trimmings.

I went with my dear friend Sue for Sunday lunch. It was so nice to have homemade food. Molly was so lovely, they all were. Great place, great food and definitely on the books for return visits. Thank you 🙏

Amazing reception, very friendly and food exceptional

Kind Hosts, Quirky Charm, and Golden Retriever Cuddles What an absolute gem of a pub! From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel completely at home — truly some of the kindest people you could ever meet. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made the evening so special. The pub itself is full of character, with a quirky interior that makes every corner worth a look — the kind of place that feels both unique and completely comfortable at the same time. We enjoyed a relaxed evening of drinks, soaking up the atmosphere and chatting away while their two adorable golden retrievers wandered over for cuddles. They were the sweetest dogs and added so much charm to the evening! Everything about our visit was spot on — great drinks, lovely company, and that warm, content feeling you only get in the very best countryside pubs. Couldn’t recommend it more highly. If you’re ever in Devon, make sure you pop in — you’ll leave grinning (and probably wishing you could take the dogs home with you!).

Lovely staff, great drinks and beautiful food.

We had a most pleasant overnight stay here in a clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was very good and the staff were so friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed our evening meal. The steak and red wine pie was very popular!

Comfortable clean room on the two moors way. Nice beer and food.

An excellent and great value place to stay in Witheridge. The room was very comfortable and clean and exceptionally quiet. The Mitre Burger in the bar was delicious and clearly it is a popular spot in the village. A really good cooked breakfast too and great coffee! Thank you

Great classic pub decor with plenty of character. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and accommodating to dogs and babies. Would highly recommend this pub.

Had a lovely stay with our dog lovely cosy pub with a great selection of drinks are really top notch food staff where friendly and made us feel at home and made an amazing breakfast before we left would highly recommend

Beautiful roast dinner with an excellent and very friendly service. The portions were generous with an array of vegetables. One of the very best pub Sunday roasts I’ve eaten. Would highly recommend.

We ate on a mid-week evening, a party of five. Delicious cooking (incl fish and chips, and hake with mussels). Relaxed courteous service. Recommend strongly!

Lovely, inexpensive food. Well-kept beer. Attentive staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Great atmosphere Great pint

Our stay at the mitre in was amazing. The staff are fabulous and make you feel at home. We stayed because we were going to a local funeral . The wake also was at the Mitre Inn and they pulled out all the stops for the family and friends who were there. The food was better than most restaurants and really cared about any special food requirements. We would highly recommend a stay there

Perfect place to stay, have a meal or just a drink. Stayed here for two nights. Just a fantastic place to stay. Great interior and rooms. Everyone was really welcoming and helpful. Great meals in the evening and a really good breakfast. The snug is the perfect place for a small group to hang out and the bar had great selection of tunes playing.

We walked here from Coleford. The weather was getting very warm on our two moors walk and we looked like we would arrive after the pub closed for the afternoon. We phoned ahead and the chap agreed to hang around until we arrived. He was true to his word (a total and utter star) and the night’s stay was really good. There was a great choice of gluten free options for both evening dinner and breakfast.

Great service, good food From the first warm, friendly response on the phone, the Mitre was a great place to visit. A ramp was made available for my partner in a wheelchair,cand appropriate seating in the bar.
Service was good, atmosphere welcoming, and food delicious. Would happily recommend.

6 of us stayed the night at this beautiful Inn . The evening menu was absolutely wonderful, real homed made food. Everyone had something different and all agreed it was fab. Breakfast was top notch too. The pub is very homely and welcoming.

Friendly and typical country pub. Lovely atmosphere and great service.

A fabulous Sunday lunch We stopped off at The Mitre Inn as we happened to be passing. Hadn’t booked a table and they were obviously very busy (Sunday lunchtime) but they were very accommodating and offered us a table in the snug. We enjoyed the most delicious Sunday roast, nicely presented, very generous dish of vegetables and lovely Yorkshire pudding. Even though we were full we couldn’t resist a pudding! I had the cheesecake which was lush and my husband had the warm apple cake- he said it was so light and was the best apple cake he’s ever had. Compliments to the chef. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and it was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

We were at the Mitre Inn for a family meal whilst on holiday in Exmoor. We received a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff, who were also very attentive throughout. The food itself was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!

Sunday Lunch A friendly welcome and a lovely fire in the bar. Delicious Sunday lunch which was hot and had real flavour. There was a variety of 5 different vegetables and the roast potatoes were crispy and soft in the middle. We had a variety of meats and they were all tender. The portions were generous. My vegetarian friend said it was the best nut roast she’d ever had! The desserts were just as good as the main meal.

Nice room, good breakfast. We enjoyed our stay

Went to have lunch here with my wife and 2 kids. It was absolutely lovely. The service was outstanding, and the food I have nothing else to say it was amazing. The owners are lovely people and made sure my kids, wife and myself feel accompanied with open arms. I would highly recommended this place will be going back very soon. Don’t miss out l!!!

Had a really good Sunday lunch here. Proper job! Beautifully prepared vegetables and plenty of perfectly cooked beef & lamb. Generous portions but not overwhelming. Lovely sitting in the bar area with the wooodburning fire too !

Lunch with friends. Excellent Sunday lunch and fantastic service. The pub is full of character and is beautiful. If we are in the area I would not hesitate to go back.

Lovely lunch We visited on New Year’s day for lunch (we had reserved a table). We had a friendly welcome, the staff were very accommodating and there was a great choice of food, which was amazing – it well presented and tasty.

Met up with our friends again this year at the Mitre inn for a two night stay absolutely fantastic Andy,Barbara and all the staff are brilliant, the food is home cooked and delicious and the real ales are very well kept thank you all for another brilliant time.Paul, Mike, Steve, Kath, June, Qwen.

Amazing Just spent another two nights at the Mitre where we meet up with our friends Andy, Barbara and all the staff are true professionals the food is lovely and all home cooked the steak I had was cooked to perfection and the Xmas lunch was amazing thank you all for a lovely time.

Warm and friendly! Stayed there on a sunday night whilst visiting a friend in the area, everything was brilliant, all the staff were so friendly and could not have been more friendly, the room was very clean and well appointed.
i ate in the the very cosy bar and had the handmade game pie, was exceptional, washed down with 2 pints of very well kept local ale.
I cannot fault the Mitre, will definitely be back, Thank you.

Lunch in Restaurant The manage to fit us in at midday, most tables were reserved. The roast beef was very tasty and locally sourced. Service was excellent. Staff polite, friendly and very helpful with my fat free diet. My friend had the lamb. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
