Hi, I'm Jill Pendleton. A Dartmoor landlady for over twenty years. I also ran the local Tourist Informtion Centre. Let me tell you about Dartmoor accommodation Do take a look at my blog
Andy Martin, Dartmoor butcher is renowned for his barbecue catering. If you are planning an outdoor party,
I can recommend him. Each year at Chagford Show he caters for the masses and because of his good team
everyone gets served in record time. - Plus the pork cooked on site is really tasty. Check out the website.
Sara Mears of Chagford can easily cope with large numbers. She catered for a big wedding I covered in May 2011
and the whole eating event was a smooth operation. Plenty of food, no long queues. Happy faces all round.
She is based in Chagford, her mobile telphone number is 07901 955 122
The Kestor Inn at Manaton has a nice sized room for a sit down wedding reception for a smaller group, up to 40 guests.
They can take more for a buffet, if you are happy to spill out into the rest of the bar. I think this is a good budget
place in the Summer for wedding receptions, as children can play in the garden at the front of the pub, and I rate their food. As you see in the picture above, they already have the red roses pictures in place! An easy room to decorate and
I'm sure that Wendy will sort out a good menu for you. The smiley face above belongs to the friendly young waitress.
