Quick info
About The Highweek Village Inn
A function room at The Highweek Village Inn takes bookings for birthdays, christenings and wakes, with buffets arranged around guest numbers and food choices, so groups can plan an event around what they want to eat. The pub sits at 10 Highweek Village in Newton Abbot, with tables and chairs across more than one bar area and a large fireplace that holds a real fire. Food centres on a carvery, with a choice of several meats including gammon and a selection of vegetables alongside, red cabbage among them, and a Sunday roast also served. A range of beers is poured at the bar. Dogs are welcome, and the doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
The carvery dominates, and reviewers rank it well above the standard version: four meats with the usual accompaniments, a choice of six vegetables, and portions repeatedly called generous. One diner whose partner cooks professionally calls it the best either has had in years, another singles out the gammon, and the red cabbage draws its own praise. Close behind is the pub's use as a function space, with several describing a hired function room for birthdays and a christening, and a buffet arranged around their budget and food choices. Sunday roasts and the beer range also come up, along with the fireplace, dart board and pool table. Staff are described as friendly and welcoming across most accounts. One visitor arriving on a Sunday afternoon found the place very quiet and could only guess at the atmosphere when busy. The most concrete note comes from a reviewer who booked a wake at short notice and found the Inn accommodating on both food and shifting guest numbers.

“One of the best carveries around! Worth the visit... Also has a great range of beers.”
- Sharon Chapman
“We went there today and had a carvery. My partner is a chef and we both agreed it’s the best carvery either of of us has had in years! The portions were generous and the food cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.”
- Martyn Pope
“Went here on a Sunday afternoon. Was very quiet. I think there may be another bar out the back. Decent size with tables and chairs. Dart board and pool table. Has a large fireplace and I reckon a great atmosphere when busy”
- Christiane Dyer
“We had a wake there last week and I can't fault the place!! Obviously was short notice, but the Inn was highly accommodating when it came to food and numbers of people attending. …”
