Steve, Juliet and all the staff warmly welcome you to The Old Inn, a traditional family run Country Inn. Situated in the heart of the beautiful South Hams, halfway between Totnes and Kingsbridge, we provide good quality food using fresh locally sourced produce all cooked to order. We are open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner every day which can be consumed either inside or in the beer garden.

And if you are looking for overnight accommodation we provide bed and breakfast in one of our two well-appointed ensuite rooms. The pub was originally built in the 14th century, and in its current form in 1874 after a fire destroyed the building. Juliet and Steve are bringing it into the 20th century whilst keeping the traditional character.
Services
The Old Inn prides itself in its comprehensive menu of traditional and modern dishes, cooked with fresh ingredients, from Juliet's Steak, Mushroom and Ale pie, Beer Battered Cod and Chips alongside Thai style Salmon Fishcakes, fresh cut sandwiches and baguettes. There is a selection of three well-kept ales with Otter Amber taking a permanent position on the bar.
Planning a Celebration? Using our Church Street Lounge/function room, the Old Inn at Halwell specialises in small to medium sized functions tailored to your budget and needs. We have the facilities - including Free Wi-Fi - to accommodate all types of birthday parties, wedding receptions, anniversaries, breakfast meetings, training days and out of office meetings.
The Old Inn is surrounded by the stunning South Hams countryside and is only a stone's throw from the South Devon Coast, which stretches from Torbay to Plymouth and includes the beautiful beaches of Blackpool Sands, Slapton, Torcross, Bantham and Bigbury Bay. We are just a short drive from the historic market towns of Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.

Had an amazing time at the old inn. We went for a freinds birthday and was made very welcome. We walked to the pub and got soaked to the bone on the way there. The lady there made sure we got warm and dry. We had a lovely lunchtime meal, the waitress was also freind and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

Very reasonably priced Sunday lunch.
Choice of real ales and ciders as well as common lagers.
Friendly bar maid a real joy and the landlord and lady equally friendly .
Perfect we are defiantly going to pay return visit .
Not open monday Tuesday worth noting if in the area.
Otherwise book if eating as very popular very justifiably so .

After reading reviews we decided to go here as they catered for gluten free. We were not disappointed. The menu for vegetarian/gluten free was excellent as well as a normal menu. The food was really tasty and the staff were very accommodating. Excellent customer service and would highly recommend.

We stayed at Woodlands Family Theme park for the week and stopped here for my birthday meal.
It was absolutely amazing.
The food was fantastic.
The service was amazing.
The owners and waiting staff took time to stop and talk to us.
We met the pub dogs who were an absolute delight and they showed off their tricks to rhe children and were given a surprise from Sadie the Dog to bring home.
We stay at woodlands every year or so and will ensure to visit the Old Inn everything.
Thank you for an amazing evening of entertainment. The children are busy using your beer mats to try and teach our Lab

Great friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Menu is currently limited due covid but what there is excellent. Just keep eye in opening and serving times as not always open all day. plenty space indoors and out. Well worth visiting.
Oh and the bar spaniel may do a few tricks for you as well.

We were on a family holiday at a local theme park and went for a meal for my wife's birthday.
So glad we picked here, staff were fantastic, very friendly from booking on the phone all the way through.
Proper home cooked food, i had the lasagne special as recommended by the waitress, it was superb.
We all had a great evening, it was a lovely end to our holidays.
Little added bonus of 2 pub doggies one of which had a great party trick with a beer mat !!
Absolutely will be back here one day.

Absolutely fantastic service, two separate trips weeks apart. Me and my partner are both local to kingsbridge and although not local to the village, we were made to feel welcome and like a part of the family. Even remembered the drinks we had the first trip. A lovely local and very friendly atmosphere, staff were very accommodating and food was phenomenal 20/10 would recommend stopping even for a quick bite to eat. Nothing was too much trouble and very friendly service
