A traditional family-friendly pub

Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled at the heart of the Devonshire village of Exminster, just a few miles south of the city of Exeter!

Seriously good pub food

There’s nothing quite like the great British pub when it comes to food, and that’s what we’re all about. A place where proper pub classics meet indulgent flavours, and irresistible bar snacks pair perfectly with our drinks.

With traditional family favourites, small plates to keep the little ones happy and generous sharers to enjoy between friends, our menus are bursting with flavour and promises to satisfy any craving.
