A Hall & Woodhouse conversion of a quayside building into a food orientated pub.The quay on the Exe is known locally at Tuborg Quay once the danish lager was exported here in the 50's.There is a vast outside seating area next to a river lighter in a side tidal dock.
The pub interior has a low roof and some nooks and crannies,there are two dedicated dining areas although there is a drinking side snug with a collection of high tables.It's full of tourists ,mostly eating so I went outside to just drink.
Only Badger ale available on my trip with their Best Bitter,Fursty Ferret and Tanglefoot (decent ,NBSS 3.5) together with a few Badger kegs.
Too foodie for me,I wouldn't put this pub on a Topsham crawl list.

Old commercial inn catering for the tourist trade and serious ale drinkers alike. As the name suggests it is on the Exe estuary where passegers used to alight. Good food and good beers in a charming coastal village location. Well worth visiting.
