Competition Description
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.
With dinner complete, the second surprise of the evening quite literally fell from the sky. An unexpected and dramatic snowfall swept across the moor, leaving us delightfully stranded for the night. Thankfully, the inn’s welcoming proprietors — chef Ollie Vernon and front-of-house Jordan Ralph — kindly offered us one of the pub’s two beautifully refurbished guestrooms, allowing us to experience the inn in its entirety.
Recently renovated to complement the pub’s stylish interior makeover, the rooms are every bit as appealing as the dishes coming from the kitchen — warm, characterful and thoughtfully designed for a restful stay.
The following morning began with a hearty Dartmoor breakfast, setting us up perfectly for the snowy journey home. Now, one lucky winner and their guest will have the opportunity to enjoy the full Chagford Inn experience for themselves at this award-winning Dartmoor destination.
