Rugglestone Inn
The Rugglestone Inn is a unique, unspoilt Dartmoor pub delightfully located in the picturesque village of Widecombe in the Moor.
Inside, there is a cosy bar with a wood burner and two further rooms, one of which has an open log fire, together creating a wonderful ‘home from home’ atmosphere. Outside is a large sheltered garden with picnic tables accessible via a small bridge over a delightful moorland stream and from where you can enjoy fabulous views. Children and dogs are welcome but we ask that dogs be kept on a lead.
Our home cooked menu of locally sourced produce is extensive and offers a broad range for all tastes. Examples might include filled jacket potatoes from £3.25 and fresh fish and meat dishes from £7.95.
Our bar is well stocked with real ales, farm cider and a comprehensive wine list. The real ales are served straight from the barrel and include a different guest beer every weekend.
