The dream of opening up a Pub/Restaurant in the country has come true, in the shape of the picturesque village of Trusham. We originally opened up The Vanilla Pod Restaurant in Torquay in September 2003. The restaurant had become popular with the local community, tourists and people from further a field. With our experience and reputation we have a new challenge calling us in the form of the Cridford Inn.

Excellence of cuisine and an interesting wine cellar is the aim of this new temple to gourmet cooking.  Ian the owner and Head Chef has been in the catering industry since leaving college, and has won many awards for his cuisine. Private parties can be catered for, we specialise in after meeting lunches or dinners for business professional teams, weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.

For that relaxed, nowhere to go in a hurry evening, then the menu will no doubt stimulate your taste buds. The starters alone , will make your mouth water... 

No visit to the Vanilla Pod is complete without tasting one of Ian's award winning desserts.  I know many have given up on desserts in an attempt to keep the pounds away, however, this will be the visit where you will throw all caution to the wind and just 'indulge'.  Of course for those without a sweet tooth (I do sympathise) there is local Westcountry cheese & biscuits.

Relaxing Accomodation 

There are also four en suite rooms for residential accommodation available. The charm and character of this historic building has been blended with The Vanilla Pod contemporary approach to modern furnishings to create the perfect location for a relaxing break. Read More...
