A traditional and quiet back-street inn, established around 1770, that lies just off the centre of this picturesque town, a short walk from the seafront. An old-style wood paneled bar with an open fire attracts a strong local trade, and leads to a dedicated dining area serving good food. Three changing beers are normally available. Dogs, but not children, are welcome indoors. Hosts the King of Chit - a traditional competition - and the Black Rod fishing contest.

Accessibility access - Fully accessible including the toilet by WChair.

Information for this venue is provided by the Exeter & East Devon Branch of CAMRA
