Win a Gourmet Getaway at the Chagford Inn on Dartmoor!

The Food Lifestyle team first visited The Chagford Inn on Dartmoor a year ago, expecting comforting pub classics in a cosy countryside setting. What we discovered instead was something far more memorable — a kitchen delivering refined, confident cooking that far exceeded expectations.

A standout dish of Dartmoor rabbit with cannellini beans, kale and pickled garlic arrived as beautifully executed restaurant fare: expertly rolled saddle, a crisp croquette of dark meat and a deeply flavoured rabbit reduction resting on a bed of creamy beans. It was thoughtful, balanced and technically impressive. Dessert proved equally unforgettable — a crumble-topped choux bun split and filled with vanilla cream, pink forced rhubarb and vanilla ice cream, a creation that still lives rent-free in our collective culinary memory.
