Topsham:
Riverside pub, by the Topsham Ferry, with a view across the estuary. Inside, it’s pretty traditional. Food is a big thing, but it doesn’t take over. In the summer, the car park is turned into more outdoor seating. Great beer, really good staff, and a lovely place to sit for a few hours.
Topsham:
This was a real find, thanks to my better half and CAMRA’s pub heritage books. A short walk from the station, it’s been in the same family for well over 100 years, and the interior is on CAMRAs national inventory, but after a quick look about we sat outside with a view over the river. Fantastic ale, great food (Ploughmans, sandwiches, pies) and lovely staff: it doesn’t get much better. A word of warning, this pub keeps traditional hours, so you need to time a visit.
