Old Exeter Inn

06/09/2026

Order a pie at the Old Exeter Inn and you may find yourself being asked one of our favourite questions…

“Would you like a sausage with that?”

Because apparently a large handmade shortcrust pie, mash or beef-dripping chips, Yorkshire pudding, crackling, fresh vegetables and port gravy can still benefit from the addition of a rather splendid Regency Banger. 😄

And who are we to argue?

After nearly nine centuries, we know a thing or two about a proper feed.

Pie? Absolutely.
Sausage with it? Yes please!

FRESH ON THE PUMP 🖤

Black Gates 4.1% Nitro Stout, straight from Bristol Beer Factory, now pouring at The Old Exeter Inn, Ashburton.

Every pint puts money back into an independent Bristol brewery — and backs your local landlord too. Delivered direct, we cut out the middleman so pubs get the best price, and pass the saving on to you.

📍 Pull up a stool and get one in.

A proper pint with a story behind it. 🍺

The Rev. James — a rich, warming Welsh dark amber ale, brewed from a recipe dating back to 1885.

Malty, mellow, a hint of toffee and a clean finish.

Now pouring at Old Exeter Inn.

Happy International Dog Day

At England’s Historic Pie House, we believe history — and time spent relaxing — is always better shared, especially with your four-legged friends.

VIPs (Very Important Pooches) are always welcome here:
• A special dog beer barrel (fresh H₂O) waiting in the garden
• Treats at the bar for our furry companions
• Cosy corners and a secret garden perfect for wagging tails

Because life’s too short not to share pies, pints, and history with your best friend.
