One of those iconic Dartmoor pubs beloved by generations, the Elephant is a 16th-century inn where log burners sit in vast fireplaces, and jugs and glasses dangle from beams. The chefs use top-notch local ingredients to create quality pub-food classics, plus some surprises such as seared scallop, pea and mint risotto. It's 5 miles north of Tavistock.
The Sunday lunch is legendary, and a flower-framed beer garden adds to the appeal.
