Balanced and appealing dishes, without pretension…
With a 2 Rosette award from the AA and GOLD status from Food Drink Devon and Taste of the West, our classically British menu encompasses modern twists, fine dining tastes and Dartmoor’s best produce. The Mill End restaurant is a highlight for both new and returning guests with its seasonally changing menus, beautifully presented dishes and excellent value for money. Our multi-award-winning restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Dartmoor. See a sample menu here.
The Perfect Place to eat on Dartmoor
Our Dartmoor restaurant is open to residents and non-residents daily for lunch and dinner. We strongly advise you to book a table for dinner in advance, particularly on weekends. To book, simply get in touch with us through email or call us on 01647 432282. We accept online bookings and table reservations up to 80 days in advance, but please note that on rare occasions bookings may be subject to cancellation if made outside of 7 days of the reservation.
As a dog-friendly hotel in Devon, two of our small lounges are also pet-friendly for dining – just give us a call ahead of time so we make sure we save a spot for your four-legged friends. We are also renowned for our fabulous Devon Cream Teas and Classic Dartmoor Afternoon Tea, best enjoyed in our lounge in front of the log fire or, in warmer weather, in one of our country gardens.
The sublime quality of our food is the result of Devon itself. Our award-winning Dartmoor restaurant relies on an extensive range of high-quality local produce every day to ensure dishes are of the freshest and highest quality for our guests. A full list of our suppliers can be found on our menus when dining.
The team in the kitchen, led by head chef William Broom, is committed to using all the local area can offer, from fabulous and varied cheeses to wonderful beef and stunning game. Additionally, all of our seafood is freshly caught off of the Cornish and Devon Coastlines. Weekly, Chef and our team evolve classic palates into perfectly plated delights. So even if you’ve visited the Mill End restaurant just a few weeks prior, they are ready to blow you away again.

Chef’s Message
As Head Chef at Mill End, it will be my great pleasure to welcome you to our restaurant – whether you are staying with us or just visiting for dinner, a spot of lunch, or a traditional Devon Cream Tea. Our passion lies in simplicity – great seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, cooked with care and presented with flair. With a background in fine dining, my aim is to achieve balanced and appealing dishes, without pretentiousness. We aim to home-produce as much as possible – for the best quality, and to reduce “food miles”. Our delicious cakes, traditional Devon scones, breads, soups, sauces and accompaniments are produced in our own kitchens – and we use herbs from our gardens when in season. Even our bottled water is produced in-house, using a sophisticated seven-stage filtration and purification system.
