Old Inn - Menu

The restaurant has a lovely ambience, you feel you are sitting in their lounge, enhanced by their 2 lovely dogs. the welcome is laid back and lovely not stuffy at all

A rare combination of perfect style and hospitality. The attention to detail of decor and welcome were second to none. Bedroom was charming and comfortable. Despite all this the food is the crowning glory, just outstanding ! a very talented chef where no course disappointed. The breakfast was equally impressive . Highly recommended.

We come here every year for a family birthday celebration and have one of the dining rooms to ourselves which makes it special. The Inn is cosy but not fussy or pretentious. Warm welcome from the owners (and the 2 lovely dogs). Food is outstanding the 'plate of raspberries ' was, I think, the best dessert I have ever had. Dishes are created and served with care, skill and attention. Wish I lived nearer!

Whatever the occasion, to go to the Old Inn is a real treat. Both cosy and elegant, it has just the right amount of covers to create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and the food itself is a rare combination of bold yet comforting flavours, precisely and exquisitely executed quietly stunning. All in all, this is the perfect restaurant (with lovely rooms if needed not to mention an amazing breakfast) and just what you want from eating out that you don't get from other so called good restaurants. Spot on!

This restaurant never fails to amaze, the unpretentious setting and casual but attentive service before table and at table just adds to the experience. Often surprised by little gems delivered between courses. More surprised by the dishes being delivered by Duncan (Chef and co-owner) explanation of the dish a real gift from the creator. The foie gras amazing, the fish perfectly cooked. And the unassuming menu which just states a plate raspberries which is so understated it 's unbelievable! To the fondant and souffle that arrives. Stunning just stunning from start to finish.

After having had a terrific dinner here a number of years ago, I was keen to return to the Old Inn. Unfortunately this visit didn't live up to my expectations. There was a choice of a la carte or set menu. As we didn't fancy some of the courses that were part of the set menu, we opted for the a la carte. The amuses were nice and well presented, as were the lobster cannelloni and sweetbreads. The main course of Iberico pork was a disappointment: it was dry and tasted more like an ordinary pork chop than what I would expect of an Iberico pork main course. At £54 for 2 courses, I felt rather short changed.

Wow, what a great experience. The most perfect setting in a great location. The food was incredible and we got much more than we expected. The owner's dogs in the front room (the lounge) were so friendly and loved cuddles which made the experience feel extremely cosy, warm and homely. Me and my boyfriend both had great starters, mains and desserts with coffee afterwards accompanied by little surprise macarons and homemade biscuits. Great drinks, great service and amazing value for money. The best part of the experience however was how friendly the owners were and how happy they were to invite us into their home and business. Would definitely recommend and will be back again! Thanks for a gre...

The whole experience of staying and eating at the Old Inn is a treat. Top quality ingredients are prepared with great knowledge and presented without fuss or adornment, so the chef's skills are plain to see. A particular highlight was the quail leg, served alongside a roast quail breast starter and looking initially like a slightly unnecessary addition. But it had been perfectly braised for half an hour until the surface was caramelised and the meat tender and tasty. Portion sizes are good (and don't stint on the expensive ingredients, my main consisted largely of brill and lobster with just enough veg to complement) and the fixed price menu covers everything from canapes while you order to...

I was recommended to The Old Inn Drewstaington by a customer and friend who knows my love of good food. I was not disappointed. It’s run by a charming couple, Anthea welcomed us to the cosy country lounge with log fire, a pot of tea and delicious cakes cooked by Duncan. He worked with Sean Hill, (who in my opinion is the finest chef in Britain), and it shows. The meal that night was the best food I’ve eaten for a long time. The pre dinner taster of fresh foi gras was a reminder of similar I last tasted in France many years ago. The meal was perfection, with Duncan himself serving some of the courses. I could talk about the wonderfully theatrical blackberry soufflé, the friendly atmosphere, p...
