The Royal Oak Inn, Meavy, Devon - The perfect Dartmoor hideaway for drinking and dining

About the Royal Oak Inn

About the Royal Oak Inn

The Royal Oak Inn is a free house owned by Burrator Parish Council.  It is situated within the Dartmoor National Park, in an idyllic location next to the village green in Meavy.  The pub is a former 15th-century church house inn. It takes its name from the oak tree on the village green which is reputedly some 800 years old. This is one of the few remaining traditional pubs, with a flagstone floor, old beams and a large open fireplace.  Some of the seats are pews from the adjacent church. And the wood fire provides a warm welcome on those cold winter evenings.
