The Little Foodie Pub on the Moors

An ethically conscious, foodie pub with rooms in the village of Horrabridge, Devon.

We are open Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 9am, and Sunday from 11am

Welcome to

The Leaping Salmon, Horrabridge

We’re a cosy, truly independent free house, set next to the beautiful River Walkham in Horrabridge. Our small, family-run team prioritises care and warmth for our community, respect for our environment and our ingredients, and a passion for making your visit special. 


We have a very simple ethos at The Leaping Salmon: we source as much as we can from as close as we can. Our aim is to offer interesting food, drink and accommodation on Dartmoor that is sustainable, ethically conscious, and good value for money. 

The historic building itself has been recently refurbished and tastefully decorated, making the most of what the building already had to offer, with inglenook fireplaces, stone walls, beamed ceilings, and lots of natural light. We have under-floor heating, disabled access, highchairs, a big car park, a tiered beer garden where you can watch the sunset over the village, and our very own vegetable garden and poly-tunnel where we grow as much of our own produce as possible. 


With deep window seats, cosy nooks and a welcoming open bar area, this is a place where memories are made and conversation flows. 


We’re a ten-minute walk from the open moors, so the pub is a popular base for dog walkers and families exploring the rivers and valleys of Dartmoor. Drake’s Trail, Cotehele, Burrator Reservoir and Buckland Abbey are all close by and well worth a visit. 

The Menu

Our food is made with love, considering food miles, availability, ethical production, as well as good honest flavour and texture. It’s food we love to eat and serve, that follows the seasons and harvests from our vegetable garden, and that of the farmers around us.
