About

The Thatched Inn is a charming historic pub tucked away in the picturesque village of Abbotsham, North Devon. With four centuries of local heritage, the inn offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both casual diners and special celebrations. Guests can enjoy hearty, home‑cooked dishes such as the 3‑course Christmas Carvery (£36.50 per person) and casual Sunday Carvery platters (£10.75 for a small plate, £15.50 for a large). The menu changes seasonally, featuring locally sourced produce and a range of specials. For private events, the inn provides The Silver Suite—a function room accommodating up to 120 guests, complete with a private bar, terrace, and garden. With dog‑friendly bar (though not the restaurant), free Wi‑Fi, and plenty of parking, the Thatched Inn is a favorite for family gatherings, couples’ dinners and community events. Bookings are best made by phone to secure your spot during busy periods such as Christmas. In addition to regular dining, the inn hosts weekly entertainment: quiz nights on the last Sunday of each month, jam nights on Tuesday evenings, wine and cheese tasting evenings, and festive Christmas parties. These events add a lively, local touch to the historic surroundings. The Thatched Inn prides itself on hospitality, courteous service, and a menu that supports the well‑being of its guests, offering gluten‑free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Whether you’re looking for a cozy place to unwind, a venue for a wedding or celebration, or a traditional English pub experience, The Thatched Inn delivers a memorable stay.
