We’ve been in it for 25 years!

The Old Exeter Inn has been in the book every year for a quarter of a century. That’s something to drink to!

CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide is the definitive beer drinker’s bible – 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, compiled by volunteers, honest and unbiased. We’re proud to be among them.

CAMRA does vital work for pubs and the industry. Pubs are closing at a rate never seen before. The landscape of Britain will change forever if things don’t alter quickly. We’d encourage you to become a member. Click here for more information.

Change your hearts or you will lose your inns and you will deserve to have lost them. But when you have lost your inns, drown your empty selves for you will have lost the last of England

– Hilaire Beloc

Straight from the Barrel
