Once again we found ourselves close to the Somerset / Devon border (we spend a lot of time travelling up and down the Link Road!). As usual we thought we would combine our journey with a feed in a local hostelry. After a little bit of searching on line, we came across The Redwoods Inn, […]

The Drewe Arms, Broadhembury
After a fabulous walk, see Visit South Devon’s website https://www.visitsouthdevon.co.uk/explore-south-devon/broadhembury, we settled down for a big feed in The Drewe Arms. As we entered the pub we were greeted with a welcoming hello from the lady behind the bar. The inside looked very Italian-esque, which made sense as the landlady was Italian. It had a […]
The Black Dog Inn, Crediton
As it wasn’t a nice day when we visited Black Dog, our proposed long hike turned into a very short walk around the village to give the dog a little exercise before we headed into the Black Dog Inn. The pub is a typical, quirky British pub, with dark wood, a massive fire (which I […]
Poltimore Inn, North Molton
The Poltimore Inn, North Molton is a great pub for food, just on the outskirts of Exmoor.
The Grampus Inn, Lee Bay
The Grampus Inn, Lee Bay, is situated in an Area of Natural Beauty on the North Devon Coastline. We first went to The Grampus a few years ago purely by chance. Friends were down on holiday in Ilfracombe and we wanted somewhere with good food where we could meet up and have a nice meal […]
The Sidmouth Arms, Upottery
In the centre of the pretty village of Upottery in the Blackdown Hills, is The Sidmouth Arms. It is a nice welcoming pub and fairly busy for such a remote location. As always I had rung ahead and checked that they could cater for me as a coeliac – and was very happy with the […]
The Anchor Inn, Exebridge
I was looking for another Devon pub to while away the hours whilst our son was at a South West Music School’s workshop http://www.swms.org.uk/, when I found The Anchor Inn, just outside of Exmoor, on the South East tip. I called them on the Friday afternoon and was immediately put at ease by the lady […]
The Mill on the Exe, Exeter
On a cold and windy February Sunday, we had to drop our son off to a South West Music School workshop http://www.swms.org.uk/. We had taken a beautiful, if slow (I had broken a rib two weeks before in a fall and was feeling very pitiful and couldn’t move very easily!) walk along the River Exe. […]
The Crealock Arms, Littleham
The Crealock Arms, is tucked away down a narrow lane and could easily be missed except for the sign on the road pointing you in the right direction. As you drive through into the generous car park, the views on the left of the hills are really lovely. Due to the time of year we […]
Johns’ of Instow
Johns’ of Instow has been a delicatessen for ages. Over the last twelve years, since we moved to Devon, we have watched it grow into a thriving business, including expanding to a location in Appledore as well. The shop in Appledore intelligently added a small cafe alongside its deli. This must have been very successful […]
