The Park Inn
Quick info
About The Park Inn
The Park Inn is a bar in Newton Abbot, at 15 Cole's Ln, arranged around a horseshoe-shaped bar. Pool and darts are available, and plenty of TVs show sports. The taps carry real ales and a choice of other beers. A meat draw adds a game alongside the pool and darts. Food is limited to snacks or sandwiches, so the focus stays on drinks and games. A large garden, much of it sheltered, gives groups a place to spend time away from the screens, and dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe a friendly, welcoming local pub where regulars chat easily with newcomers. One holiday visitor staying next door found the locals good to talk to, and another calls it a tight knit community pub with a very warm welcome. Close behind are the horseshoe shaped bar, popular pool and darts, and plenty of TVs for sport, along with a large garden that is partly sheltered and has heated lamps. Dogs are repeatedly welcomed, and one reviewer says all the staff love them. Opinions on beer differ: one praises good real ales and another says it is not a real ale pub. Food is limited to snacks and sandwiches, which one reviewer found tasty and reasonably priced. A few raise complaints. One first time visitor felt stared at and questioned by the landlord before the room warmed up, one says the place needs some TLC, and another saw a barmaid vaping behind the bar. One reviewer's first go at the meat draw ended in a win.

“Pretty good old-school feeling pub. Even one of the bottle blonde barmaids vapes behind the bar. Not quite ash in your pint but not far off.”
