Quick info
About Fingle Bridge Inn
Fingle Bridge Inn sits directly beside the River Teign in Drewsteignton, with a stone hearth and wood ceiling beams inside. A nearby spot along the river draws swimmers, and footpaths for riverside walks lead off from the pub. Seating is set out both indoors and outside in the beer garden, with views over the water. The kitchen serves cream teas alongside its regular offering. The pub takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and it opens daily. Parking is available on site, though spaces fill up on busy days, and the roads leading in are narrow, so larger vehicles may find the approach tight.

Customer Review Summary
The riverside setting on the Teign gorge draws the most praise, with reviewers describing walks up to Castle Drogo and swims in the river before eating outside. Cream teas are called the best ever, and one reviewer enjoyed vegan corn fritters. Parking fills up on nice days and weekends, and one notes tight roads for a camper. One visitor went twice in a week's holiday.

“A fantastic location next to the river. Plenty of places to walk and even swim. Food was excellent and very reasonably price. The parking does fill up on a nice day”
- Sam Hollis
“Excellent location, especially further heatwave, went for a swim in the river and then to the pub, sat outside for something to eat. Would highly recommend going if you can. Will say roads are tight to get to the pub so if you have coach built camper it will be very tight but worth it.”
- Richard Allan
“Fantastic location on the Teign gorge with ample parking and picturesque footpaths wandering up to Castle Drogo. Following a reasonably priced coffee I enjoyed the vegan corn fritters with a view towards the bridge but there was also plenty of room inside and with many gluten free options. Definitely worth a visit, especially by foot.”
- Brenda Carpenter
“A beautiful place to visit. Avoid weekends as parking is quite limited, but we found weekdays OK. Cream teas in this place are THEE best ever! All staff we came across were so very friendly, helpful and polite. Went twice in our weeks holiday.... Worth it!”

“Such a gorgeous place to spend the day. Beautiful riverside walks through lush woodlands with signed paths to follow. Stunning location with a fantastic atmospheric pub (also on the River) where the food is fairly priced and plentiful. Perfect for families, dog walkers and hikers alike.”
