| Barrel O'Beer
A warm welcome awaits you from the
Hunt family. Whether on holiday, a weekend break, living locally or
just
out for a drive, we believe that people deserve that bit more than just
a
pub. We pride ourselves on our traditional values of hospitality and
customer
care. Making the most of the beautiful countryside we’re set in, we use
local seafood, Devon meat and local game (when available). Our chef,
who
worked in high-class hotels and Michelin Star restaurants around the
world,
gives our regularly changing menu a taste of the Mediterranean and a
hint
of world cooking. We only use the best ingredients available and try to
look after our customers in a way which represents how we ourselves
would
like to be treated, with an emphasis on details, which will make your
visit
to the Barrel memorable for all the right reasons.
