The Thatched Inn

About

The Thatched Inn is a traditional 17th‑century family‑run pub nestled in the picturesque town of Ilfracombe, North Devon. It offers a warm, cosy atmosphere with a rotating selection of real ales, fine wines, and delicious locally sourced food. The menu features classic pub fare such as a legendary Sunday roast (with Exmoor beef, pork loin, chicken or vegetarian options) and seasonal seafood Sundays during the summer months. Outside, a spacious garden overlooks the valley and Bristol Channel, providing a perfect spot for al fresco dining, especially during sunny summer days. The pub welcomes guests looking for a relaxed, authentic experience — from hearty stews to freshly made pizza‑style dishes served on the ‘Gypsy Terrace’. Dogs are welcome in the beer garden but not inside, and the pub has received accolades such as Muddy Stilettos’ Best Destination Pub in Devon 2017 and a Cask Masque Certificate of Excellence for quality real ales.
