Kate, Dan, Viv and their team welcome all arrivals to The Drewe Arms in Broadhembury warmly, like old friends. After your initial delight in the ancient medieval building, you walk into a quirky, tasteful interior: sisal flooring and antique beams abound.

Passing diners intent on their meals, chatting sociably, you walk to the bar and discover a wonderful selection of ales - five pumps offering an ever changing feast of hops – plus ciders and lagers both on tap and bottled, backed up by a splendid choice of soft drinks and a wine cellar to delight in.

Whether you choose to settle in by the woodburning stove, which casts a gentle warm bonhomie to all or, if the weather is kind, out into the expansive garden where the patio and grassed areas sport chunky tables and benches, you are sure to find a spot to relax and enjoy the occasion.

Excellently placed just 5 minutes from the A30 at Honiton, 5 minutes from the M5, Junction 28 Cullompton, and only 30 minutes form the centre of Exeter, The Drewe Arms will take you back to a time we remember with happy nostalgia – traditionally family run, offering classic pub style food supported by a daily changing selection of specials to whet your appetite.

Nestled in the foot of the Blackdown Hills, the area is a magnet for walkers and the team welcome all: well behaved children and dogs included! Open 7 days a week from midday to 11pm (Sundays midday until 10.30pm), food is served weekdays from 12noon-3pm and 6-9pm, with food available all day on weekends
