A COTTAGE STEEPED IN HISTORY

Dating back to the 17th century, The Thatched Tavern is a traditional, cosy, welcoming Torquay pub and restaurant with outstanding food and extensive wine and drinks menu. Located within the picturesque village of Maidencombe on the outskirts of Torquay The Thatched Tavern is a beautiful, low-ceilinged picture postcard thatched building steeped in history.

On cooler days settle in the bar and snug by the roaring log fire and in warmer months enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the landscaped gardens. Whether you are popping to the village pub to relax, meeting friends or family for lunch or dinner, or simply stopping off on a Sunday stroll you will be welcomed by our friendly team – we look forward to meeting you.

A FRIENDLY PLACE TO EAT, DRINK AND RELAX

We are a family run Torquay pub, baby and dog friendly with a fabulous bar, restaurant and gorgeous landscaped garden. We pride ourselves on offering an extensive wine and drinks menu, combined with fantastic locally sourced food makes the Thatched Tavern a friendly place to eat, drink and relax.

Dog walks and cosy pub days are perfect for the Thatched Tavern and Maidencombe beach is the perfect spot for winter strolls.

Our restaurant can accommodate up to 50 guests comfortably and with doors leading off to the beautiful gardens its the perfect setting to hosts weddings, parties and family get-togethers.

FOOD & DRINK

We believe in keeping it simple and that great ingredients are crucial. Serving ‘modern Devon’ food made primarily from locally-sourced seasonal ingredients we have strong relationships with producers to ensure the best possible produce for our guests.

Food is served from noon, so you can even stop by for lunch. Whether it’s a light bite, or a steak you’re after, our menu features all of the delicious pub classics that you’d expect including reworked English classics with creative and tasty touches. Daily specials allow the Chefs to take advantage of fresh fish, limited availability game and kitchen garden produce, as the seasons allow. Being family focused we understand the need to provide nutritious smaller meals for little ones. We believe that kids should be able to eat the same as the adults, so we offer most of our dishes at half the size for half the cost

We have a fantastic selection of local wines and beers – no matter what your tipple, there’ll be something for you; we serve smooth draught lagers, craft beers, ciders, wine, cocktails and soft drinks – the perfect Torquay Pub experience!
