About Us

Nestled in the heart of Devon, our pub is a slice of history and a celebration of excellence. Twice-voted Britain’s Best Pub and winner of the prestigious Great British Pub Awards, we are proud to be regarded as the best pub in Devon, and perhaps even the West Country as a whole.

Surrounded by natural beauty, our large, pretty garden basks in the summer sunshine, offering the perfect spot for a leisurely drink or al fresco dining. For larger gatherings, our spacious, heated outdoor marquee is ideal for parties and special occasions, no matter the weather.

Step inside, and you'll find the warm embrace of two roaring log fires during the winter months, creating a cosy haven. A separate restaurant area provides an intimate setting for celebrations, and our family-friendly, dog-welcoming atmosphere ensures everyone feels at home.

Housed in a charming thatched Devon Longhouse that dates back to 1320, we are proud to be the second-oldest pub in Britain. A stay in one of our luxury boutique bedrooms promises a quintessential countryside escape at any time of year.

Our menu is a feast for the senses, featuring seasonal, Brixham-landed fish and Red Ruby Devon beef from our own herd. Pair your meal with a fantastic selection of fine wines, local ciders, and beers, including favourites like Luscombe drinks and Sharpham wines. For a touch of indulgence, our cocktail offerings are sure to impress.

Whether you’re looking for history, hospitality, or a truly exceptional dining experience, our pub has something for everyone.
