We would like to personally welcome everyone to the new website for The Atmospheric Railway Inn!

Our ethos is to source the best of local ingredients, whether through our food or drinks, to demonstrate what the West Country has to offer. We then prepare these in a loving uncomplicated way for you to enjoy. Thus ensuring we are kinder to the environment and keeping our food miles as low as possible. For example, our beef is from Dartmoor, fish caught on local day boats, bread from Kenn, gin from Teignmouth and rum from Exeter!!!

Brilliant food. Lovely and friendly staff. Right along the train line so can watch them go past while your waiting. Would 100 percent recommend going. My only flaw would be that we happened to go on a day where they were having some supply issues so had quite a few things missing from the menu. Other than that it was great.

From start to finish we were very pleased with the experience, all the staff were pleasant and knowledgeable, there's plenty of choices and many specials on chalk boards, they have a pie night on Tuesdays and steak nights on Thursdays also do a Sunday roast. We had a soup and prawn cocktail for starters, then both had ribeyed steaks for mains which was cooked to perfection.

It was a Monday and really quite at 6pm but we pitched up unannounced for my birthday meal, we were treated wonderfully, staff very welcoming and friendly. We had starters odlf soup and prawn cocktail, then both had Ribeye steak, cooked to perfection for us (medium), it was so tender we didn't need the steak knife. .....car park is very tight but I did manage to park my 7 seater Ford Galaxy,.....we will return when back in the area. Do give it a try.

I booked a 40th birthday party for my partner and have to say this venue was amazing. They provided so much help getting everything together as we were travelling from Liverpool for the event. The owners Clare/John and all the staff were professional and friendly providing everyone a warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere. The food I ordered was delicious and went down a treat with everyone at the party. The venue made sure the continually topped up the exquisite buffet. Overall the party was a massive success thanks to the venue and the staff. I would defiantly recommend as a party venue and for the catering whether it’s for an event, a meal out or just a drink in a friendly and fun venue. I can’t thank this venue enough for all they did at such a reasonable price, they went above and beyond to make the party perfect and we will defiantly be returning regularly when we visit.
