Old Exeter Inn

About

Temporarily closed Old Exeter was established in 1130 and has traded for almost 900 years. We're one of the world's oldest inns. Sir Walter Raleigh was arrested here on July 19 1603 for treason and taken to the Tower of London. His cousin, Sir Francis Drake was also a regular. We're England's Historic Pie House serving our handmade Pies and other comfort food every day. Private & Party bookings taken. With a maze of small rooms and corridors, you can enjoy our Bar & Snug, Confessional & Parlour and the Otter Tap Room, our hideaway where you can pour your own pints and play traditional pub games! Outside is our stunning walled Apothecary Garden (with cider bar & pizzeria). We're in 'Britain's Best Real Heritage Pubs' guide, also the 'Good Beer Guide' for 24 years. Real ales served straight from the barrel. 12 Craft beers on tap and a remarkable spirits list. Excellent wine menu.
