The Tytherleigh Arms

Tucked into the countryside where Devon, Dorset and Somerset meet, The Tytherleigh Arms has been welcoming travellers for more than 500 years.

Since taking over in 2011, Mark and Rosie Starling have built a reputation for thoughtful hospitality and accomplished cooking, earning Best Pub at the Trencherman’s Awards 2026.

The setting is relaxed and characterful and just 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast. The kitchen is led by head chef Nick Topham, who draws on seasonal, local produce to create dishes that are carefully composed and full of flavour.

Starters include home-cured and smoked duck pastrami paired with a duck liver parfait tartlet, pickled apricot puree and olive oil soldiers. Main courses range from pan-roasted lamb rump with roasted radish, black garlic, wild garlic salsa verde, pommes anna and lamb jus to pan-fried bream fillet with Devon white crab, a fennel and spring onion salad, crispy potato rosti and sauce vierge.

Whether visiting for a long Sunday lunch, an à la carte dinner, a tasting menu or an overnight stay, expect the same attention to detail throughout.
