Step inside The Exeter Inn, a welcoming 16th-century thatched coaching inn nestled in the picturesque village of Chittlehamholt. Family-run and full of character, our thatched pub combines historic charm with great food, real ales, fine wines, and friendly service. Whether you’re joining us for a quiet pint by the fire, a hearty pub lunch, or one of our famous Devon cream teas, you’ll always find an hospitable welcome.

We serve home-cooked food every day, crafted from quality, locally sourced ingredients, with menus ranging from traditional pub favourites to dishes inspired by flavours from around the world. Our bar offers a rotating selection of guest ales, a carefully chosen wine list, and over 80 varieties of gin. Families, walkers, cyclists, and well-behaved dogs are all warmly welcomed.

Book ahead to guarantee your table, or simply drop by and soak up the relaxed, country atmosphere.
