The Barrel of Beer, Seaton

We visited this pub twice on holiday. Inside it has a standard pub feel to it, with beams and brass. It was quiet with few customers. The real ales are served from what look like handpumps, but are switches, as the beer pours automatically when the pump is in the open position. Otter Bitter was in good condition at £3.00. Port Ale and Devon Glory also available.

A terraced, cottage like pub, with white render and green paintwork. The interior is open plan, part of which is given over to a dining area. The decor is white walls and artex, with black beams and there are lots of nice local pictures and brass memorabilia. Traditional look, with pew seats. They do food, but it isnt cheap, i didn't eat. Service was ok, the clientele older, but it was quiet overall. Beer; usual tap stuff, with Otter Bitter, Eve Valley England Glory, Devon Summer and Devon Heaven on handpull. The Heaven was almost MILDy, just served a little too cold. I would return again - a good selection of beer and nice surroundings
