Old Exeter Inn, Newton Abbot

paulof horsham left this review about Old Exeter Inn

The Old Exeter Inn is, as the name suggests an ancient and traditional pub, with all the features you'd expect: multiple rooms, flagstones floors, dark wood everywhere, low lighting and a few low beams, ale from the cask and a pub bore at the bar, wittering away at anyone who'll listen as well as those with no choice.

Food is predominantly pies, with a top-end price of £16.95, though sadly not with a top-end size. Just one ale from the 3 casks was on for my visit, but the Yellowhammer was first rate. Jaipur was an unexpected feature amongst the kegs.

Well worth investigating and exploring - the manager is rightfully enthusiastic about the gem he has on his hands, but I'd hope that the tiresome bloke expounding at the bar will be absent for your visit.
