Originally a farmhouse in the 18th Century, the building was converted to a pub in the late 19th Century and is one of the few remaining true Cider Houses in the country. It is a past winner of CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year and home to, what is believed to be, the last remaining Cork Club in the country, a semi-charitable drinking institution it has been described as a poor man's Freemasonry. The furniture is hard wooden seating and tables.The bar front is made out of old barrels. There's a choice of 17 Ciders, plus guests, also Perries and a large variety of Fruit Wines. Bar snacks are available. The clientele is varied and the entertainment is conversation!! A must visit if you are in the area. Purchased by the current owner in February 2020. In 2021, selected as one of 32 pubs across the country to receive a CAMRA Golden 50 Award.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
SRI. One of only four cider houses left in the UK. Cider was once stillaged in the heart of the pub in giant hogsheads and customers wanting off-sales would use the little hatch now concealed behind doors right of the entrance. A counter was first installed in 1962 and the current layout dates from 1984 when the counter, with its curious bulging barrel-shaped slats, was moved to the present position.
This is a national treasure – one only four cider houses left in the UK. It’s a very ordinary-looking stuccoed building close to the town centre of Newton Abbot. It used to be owned by cider-makers Whiteways of Whimple and cider was stillaged in the heart of the pub in 54-gallon hogsheads as old photographs on the walls will show. Customers wanting off-sales service would use the little hatch, now concealed behind doors to the right of the main entrance: it can also clearly be seen internally. Then in 1962 came a new-fangled bar counter to create a bit more order and separation of customers from the storage area. This was on the right-hand side of the building. Then in 1984 a new owner, Richard Knibbs took over and the current layout was adopted. The counter of 1962 was moved and survives to this day with its extraordinary, bulgy barrel-shaped slats.
