The Luppitt Inn, Honiton

E TA left this review about The Luppitt Inn

A very special old farmhouse pub in a 17th Century house which has been in the same family for 5 generations. There was a brief hiatus after the current landlady’s grandmother died, but the pub reopened last year after after work to extend the bar inside the house. The location is impressive, not far from the A30 but it feels very rural and secluded, and there are fine views over the Devon countryside. There is no real car park or garden, and the pub sites on the corner of what appears to be a working farm yard. On entering it feels like walking into someone’s front room, which actually it is really. The bar counter has no gas pumps, just a pin of Otter Bitter which was fresh and most enjoyable. There was a small selection of cans and bottles, including cider. There are no electronic distractions, just a selection of puzzles and convivial chat including locals and staff. Seating is eclectic, dogs are welcomed. A local artist has placed several of her paintings around the walls to sell. No food is on offer and opening times are restricted to three evenings a week, but if it fits the itinerary, it’s well worth a visit. It’s on the CAMRA Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
