A three course dinner for two with a bottle of wine at the Church House Inn in Harberton.
Built in circa 1450 and now under the direction of Head Chef and proprietor Tim Blanchard — previously at Michelin-starred St John's in London — the Church House Inn was recently voted by the Good Food Guide as the 16th best pub in the UK and Number 1 in Devon. It is also featured in the Michelin Guide.
Situated next to the village church, it's a wonderfully bucolic setting. Inside, the pub ticks all the soul-warming boxes: wooden beams, open fires, two pianos and even a pool table. The daily-changing menu is in the St. John style — British, produce-led and minimal-fuss — with dishes such as salt cod fritters or pork chop with braised savoy cabbage. Communal dining at their long tables is encouraged.
