In the heart of South Devon's rolling hillsides, The Butchers Arms is a cosy 500 year old traditional Pub, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Specialising in fine quality beers for all tastes, we welcome families and parties, and are able to cater for any event you might want to hold. We have a weekly quiz and meat-draw - click on the above link for the latest updates. As well as extensive grounds and a safe area for children, we also have a notoriously good restaurant for those special occasions. The Old Smithy is in a quiet corner away from the main pub, and has a particularly good value wine list, to compliment the excellent food.


You will receive a warm welcome no matter what the conditions outside, whether you come for a full dinner, private party, a cream tea, or a pint of your favourite ale by the fire. We have all the facilities you need to keep everyone entertained - kids are always welcome with adults.


Looking for a venue for a corporate event? A private party? Or just a really good meal in a quality restaurant with loads of character? The Butchers Arms has just the place...
The Old Smithy is a superb restaurant with a fine quality range of food cooked from mainly local ingredients by chefs Tony & Shaun, complimented by a wine list of outstanding value, and a selection of home-made desserts.

This restaurant is perfect for private functions or corporate events, seating 32 for a sit-down meal or 50 for a buffet.

We always use the highest standard of local produce that we can, such as free-range eggs from our own hens, and top quality meat.



As well as the great value food & drink, there is more to make this truly a family-friendly location. We have ample space to put a marquee if you think a wedding in this lovely village is what you fancy, or maybe just a game of football?!
There is a large beer garden with several barbeques, and there are also ponds with geese, ducks and chickens, as well as a number of exotic birds and guinea pigs.

For the children there is a large enclosed play area where they can make as much noise as they want, without disturbing everyone else!



We recommend that you telephone to book a table for food as our reputation for high quality food makes us a very busy establishment.

We are building a reputation as being one of the finest village pub locations in Devon. Our two chefs, Tony and Shaun, are among the finest in the area.


As a leisure side to the pub we have a very active golf society.
