Member Overview
Nestled in a charming village setting, this recently refurbished pub offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a unique blend of traditional and modern décor. Chef-owner Alex Pallatt has crafted a tapas-style menu alongside hearty pub classics, all cooked over an open fire hearth using the finest Devon-sourced ingredients. Every dish is seasonal and thoughtfully prepared to let the quality of the produce shine. Sunday lunches are a highlight, featuring a popular three-meat option as well as vegan and vegetarian alternatives, all served with up to seven freshly cooked, locally sourced vegetables. Guests can enjoy a spacious beer garden that serves as a sunny retreat for drinks and freshly prepared meals. The pub embraces a “welcome to all” policy—no dress code, families, dogs, and muddy boots are all greeted with warmth. Menus evolve with the seasons, offering a variety of exciting evening specials crafted from the best available ingredients. Monthly themed nights and the annual August bank holiday beer festival, featuring local drinks, street food, and live music, make this pub a vibrant hub of community and celebration.
