Quick info
About London Inn
London Inn is a pub on The Grn in Shaldon, Teignmouth, a seaside village setting that looks out over both the village green and the local bowling green. The kitchen serves a Sunday roast with a choice of beef, turkey or pork, plated with cauliflower cheese. Fish and chips is made with haddock, and a specials board runs alongside the main menu, with baked plaice as a catch of the day. At the bar, draught beers sit next to ciders, and the list includes Jail ale (Jailor). Dogs are welcome, so walkers can stop in with their pets after time on the green.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the food, with fish and chips drawing the loudest praise, one comparing it to a Rick Stein's and others singling out the haddock and the chips. Close behind is the roast dinner, where the sirloin, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and roast potatoes get specific mention. Other dishes named include slow cooked belly pork, baked plaice, a mushroom and leek risotto, the creme brulee and a Tomahawk steak, which one diner's coeliac son enjoyed knowing it was safe for him. The beer gets steady attention too, particularly the Jail ale, alongside the choice of ciders and draught beers. Staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and a long-time Shaldon visitor calls it a local independent pub with genuine food. The few cautions are minor: one reviewer didn't realise there were specials on the board as well as the menu, and found the two seating areas unclear, with some tables much nicer than others. One visiting couple found no taxi available until late, and a member of staff and customers at the bar offered to get them back.
