A beautiful pub-restaurant the Lighter is situated right on the water, overlooking the Rive Exe estuary.

But what sets us apart?
Our Heritage. Hall and Woodhouse is one of the few remaining regional family brewers, brewing our award-winning Dorset ales and offering warm hospitality at our pubs for over 230 years.
Our Food. We use regional food partners, typically from family businesses like us, who provide us with quality ingredients that our team of talented chefs (not microwave technicians!) use to create fresh, unpretentious, seasonal dishes.

Our Hospitality. We employ nice people who think like us and enjoy the same things that we do; food & drink, and, perhaps more importantly take real pleasure in looking after people and making them happy.

Our Location. Situated right on the water, overlooking the Rive Exe estuary the Lighter is convenient for Exeter and the Dartmoor National Park. With beautiful views and cosy interiors the Lighter is the perfect base for exploring the lovely Devon town of Topsham.
