A hidden Gem 
I was really in 2 minds about reviewing this place....cos if too many people know about it the wait to get a sunday lunch booking will get even longer. There is no question that this place is also a passion for its owners and every time I go I get a genuinley warm perosnal welcome. The decor is just what you want from a village pub and the food is unpretentious and simply delicious. There are 2 restaurent options with differing menus. The bar menue and the Hayloft restaurent. either will not disappoint, The Sunday roast is not a stodgy pile a of food as it is in so many pubs but a cooked to order selection of seasonal vegitables and local meat that is just wonderful... please go and enjoy but dont tell too many people.

Top Carvery 
I agree with Rob..you cant beat this one for value for money. There are more and more carvery's around Torbay and they vary greatly in quality and value for money but for £3.50 you have to ask why they bother offering an alternative menu. In fact the only down side with the whole place is that so many peole know about it and there can sometimes be a queue! but when 2 people can get a great dinner and drinks for under a tenner you have to agree its worth the wait!

Review of The Drum

Limited choice for a veggie 
This place is situated a mile from the beach in Torquay but you could be in the middle of sherwood forrest.The Drum is situated on the edge of Cockington country park which means you can walk up a good appetite. The thatched building is charming and welcoming and the open fires are fantastic in winter. There is huge amounts of outside eating and drinking area, but if you are a vegitarian then your choices are limted. The food is genrally good but the Sunday roast can get a bit tired towards the end of the day!
