The Pen Inn

This spacious, family-friendly pub on the edge of Newton Abbot is a charming choice for those looking for an enjoyable pint, a leisurely lunch or a relaxing evening meal.

Food is served all day from the varied, reasonably priced menu, which includes starter dishes such as homemade chicken and pork paté and seafood tagliatelle. For your main, you might opt for the chicken breast stuffed with cheese and chorizo, wrapped in bacon with a cheese sauce and served with salad and new potatoes, or perhaps beef lasagne or good-old ham, egg and chips. Be sure to bring the kids, as there's both indoor and outdoor seating and a large conservatory from which to watch over them as they explore the play area. There is also a 'little tums' menu dedicated to those with smaller appetites, an ample car park and Wi-Fi available for those who love to surf the net.

If visiting from Monday to Saturday, take advantage of the two-for-one offer on main meals (terms and conditions apply) whilst enjoying a pint of real ale. Then, prepare to exercise those brain cells with theweekly Sunday night quiz which kicks off at 7.30pm
