“Village pub with log fires and farmhouse style bedrooms for b&b. It has a family style restaurant and large function room, which has its own bar. Outside there is an attractive beer garden.” Nothing wrong with that, but Lifton, where the Fox & Grapes is situated, is on the border of Dartmoor National Park – which is enough to get the red flags waving as we have constantly said on this site, so-called ‘national parks’ all over England (and in Devon in particular) are extensively hunted or shot over. Many pubs/hotels don’t see a problem with that, which is presumably why the ‘Fox’ hosted a ‘Car Treasure Hunt’ fundraiser for the Lamerton Hunt in October 2024. The rather Mystery Inc/Scooby Gang graphic used to promote the event was just begging for some ‘Tally Ho’ style speech bubbles and a hunting horn…
