accourding to the local paper the landlord is planning to start brewing his own beers only wish i still lived in the area not devon!

The Beer Engine, Newton St Cyres
One of the finest pubs i have ever been to, homemade beer and homemade food what can be better than that?! the piston bitter is to die for only wish it was nearer to my house! Try it you wont be disappointed

Friendly landlord and excellent local ales including a constant from teignworthy which is rather good being my favourite brewery!!

Recently refitted the downstairs bar, still looks the same to me though! although ale pumps have been disposed of and the beer is now served directly from the barrell. good times!!

Hall and woodhouse pub. visited a few days ago. it doesnt get much better than sitting in the sun looking at the stunning view with a pint of glorious tanglefoot

as far as a spoons go this must be the best of the lot. big garden which means that during beer festivals they have a marquee with the barrells giving a lot more choice that is availible at other spoons. Apart from beer festivals i rarely visit, often find the beer is too cold although the odd interesting guest ale is sometimes availible

good place for an afternoon beer while watching the world go past. never had a bad pint in there, not surprising when you see what percentage of the peoplein there are drinking ale

The Great Western Hotel, Exeter
7 ales on when i visited last with yellowhammer, branoc, london pride and best of all port stout being regulars, friendly locals and service, worth a visit

This is the ultimate unspoilt pub. Always good conversation, the locals even talk to you, even if you are a grubby exeter student!. Thankfully no lagers are served, just a real beer menu with tasting notes. The beer is always perfect never too warm, a danger all to present these days!. Styles rarely seen these days such as stouts porters and milds are often availible and served all served with good cheers from a well informed family based staff, always happy to help you with your beer choice. Attracts customers of all walks of life which creates a good talkative atmosphere just like all pubs should have.
