Where to start...? Having read seemingly positive reviews about the food at The Post Inn, my partner and I were looking forward to having dinner at the establishment. Whilst OK with it being slightly rowdy as it was a Friday night, we were truly disappointed with the service and food that we received. For starters, upon entering the 'Dining Room', it specifically says 'No dogs in the dining room'. Having eyed up the pub's Boxer Dog in the bar, I felt reassured it wouldn't be entering the eating area. However, shortly into sitting at the table, sure enough, the dog was begging at our neighbour's feet for offerings. The friendly bartender attempted to remove the dog, but it repeatedly returned, coming later to our own table whilst eating. For anyone anxious of dogs, this is a serious red flag, let alone anyone with an allergy to animals. Onto the food! My partner's cod was vastly overcooked. He could've used the piece of cod as a door wedge if he wanted to. The chips were about the only saving grace, but at £15.95, we both expected much more. My burger was rubbery, as if bought at the local shop in the frozen section, and the 'gluten free bun' (which was good to be offered) was even harder. We later gave some to the dog in the hope it might be satisfied and go away. Whilst eating, the 'chef' also asked 'how is everything?' and walked away before we even had time to answer. Overall a very disappointing experience. Won't be returning, and definitely didn't feel like tipping! Best part was our drinks, the only thing I didn't mind paying for. The rest felt like an injustice.

After eating many Sunday carvery's here I booked my wife's 40th birthday for a Friday meal for 13 of us. They informed us of their new menu and we pre-ordered the food, and also ordered a birthday cake. The food was exquisite, the service was excellent and they completely exceeded my expectations with the red velvet cake. Also, I should add that our daughter is coeliac so we regularly eat here as they're so good with allergies. Thank you!

We have eaten here once before, and it was good enough for us to come back the next time we were in the area! I was recently diagnosed with coeliac disease, and the staff went above and beyond with explaining what I could have that was GF, and even went into the possibilities of which items may have cross contamination, and which items definitely wouldn’t. The food was 10/10, and the staff were brilliant. We will absolutely be returning the next time we are in West Country!!

We greatly enjoyed our late lunch at the Bulleid Buffet within the attractive and interesting location of the restored Okehampton Station. The food was tasty and the staff happily accommodated our trio of meat-eating, vegetarian and gluten-intolerant eaters whilst finding time for conversation about all our histories in the area.
