The Malt Scoop Inn is a traditional inn dating back to the 1800s. It can be found in the village of Merton in Devon and has long been serving quality food and drink to locals and visitors to the area. The pub has a friendly atmosphere and regularly hosts events including an open mic night, comedy evenings and a pub quiz. Diners have the choice of eating in The Malt Scoop dining room, in a cosy nook by a roaring fire or, in summer, heading out to eat al fresco in the beer garden.
The food at The Malt Scoop Inn Merton is made with locally sourced ingredients and offers both classic British and international flavours. Diners can expect to find dishes like home cooked honey roast ham served with egg and chips, a homemade beef madras curry served with rice and naan bread, River Exe mussels in a creamy white wine and garlic sauce or a simple salmon steak served with new potatoes and salad. There are lighter bites for lunch, a range of tasty desserts and a specials board which changes regularly.
The Malt Scoop Inn is located on the A386 in Merton's small village centre and there's a large car park opposite. Visitors will find Great Torrington just 10 minutes' drive away and Okehampton around 20 minutes' drive away. There's plenty to do in the local area. Merton is well-placed for those heading out on country walks in the Devon countryside and it's just a mile to the Tarka Trail, a popular cycling route.
