The Cridford Inn...

It is believed that the main site of the now, Cridford Inn, dates back to 1086 and was probably one of the nine small-holdings mentioned in the “Domesday Book” of that time, which belonged to the Abbey of Buckfast in the Manor of Trusham.

Vanilla Pod Restaurant

When you take the mouth-watering tour of the menus for The Vanilla Pod, you will see there is something for everyone. For the person wanting a quick snack or something more filling in the middle of the day we have the luncheon menu. This has a wide choice of food, ideal for those wanting a bite whilst shopping or on a day out. If you call the restaurant before you come giving an approximate eating time then the chef will have your food ready upon your arrival.

The evening menus reflect the more relaxed atmosphere. However if you want to arrange for a pre theatre dinner - perhaps for that special occasion - then again advise the chef before your arrival of your choice of food and arrival time, and again it will be prepared to coincide with your needs.

"The highlight was the potato gratin served with the steak and the crumble was a delight."

Alain Roux

For that relaxed, nowhere to go in a hurry evening, then the menu will no doubt stimulate your taste buds. The starters, will make your mouth water...the pate, the Chicken liver parfait or the Brie parcel...No,...perhaps the Scallops or the Thai Crab Cakes...It's just so hard to make up your mind!! For the main, will it be The pork tenderloin, or perhaps the seared rib eye steak, no the venison, or maybe a little of the duck, Perhaps you fancy a nautical experience - the locally caught fresh fish option board makes the decision no easier. Be sure to ask to see it. Eventually the decision is made, sit back and indulge in excellence.
