The best by far.
You have got to come and try our Sunday Lunch at the Bearslake Inn, near Okehampton
You have to come and try the Black River Inn in Black Torrington. We have recently been shortlisted as one of 15 in the country in the Knorr Great British Sunday Dinner 2019. We think we offer something a little different in our sharer board, and believe in cooking everything here-without a microwave!
