Bucking Fastard left this review about Poachers Inn

At the top end of the village,this dedicated ale house is old school but in a good way.Entrance around the side with a friendly Boxer awaiting ,there are a few wooden benches here but a large beer garden exists , unvisited by me on a very hot day.The interior has some old beams and a small servery for those drinking outside,before a large room which wraps around the curved bar,with a raised side section with small dining style furniture.
The main room has a mix of furniture,a worn sofa and comfy chairs below the large fireplace,small stools and some upright chairs elsewhere,a bit of a jumble but homely.The screen will show rugby but the main focus here is ale,on my trip Branscombe Vale Branoc (NBSS Good),Salcombe Lifesaver,Exeter Tomahawk,South Hams Wild Blonde together with several handpumped ciders.
The pub is a GBG regular ,deservedly so,and will feature ale from around the region mainly Locale.A friendly welcome and very relaxed atmosphere would always draw a visit whenever in Ide.

Quinno _ left this review about Poachers Inn

A traditional village pub. Still retains small discrete areas and is cosy with carpet and rugs, though it was a bit cold despite the radiator being on. Plenty of people in, a number of whom were watching the rugby on the telly and there was a lively atmosphere. Note the tie rack above the bar and a collection of foreign notes pinned on the beams. Apparently there’s a pretty good garden with an impressive view but it was too dark and soggy to go exploring. Dog-friendly. Six ales on, all local. We tried the Exeter Best and Branscombe Vale Branoc which were a both a little cold but in good order. A nice place worth seeking out. 8.5

A fine village pub with two rooms. Main bar has an area set aside for eating from the good value menu and also has a real fire (not lit during a recent visit).
A good selection of Real Ale from local brewers plus Fog on the Tyne served by the friendly landlord make this a good place to visit.
Car park at the rear of the pub whichalso boasts a large beer garden.
