Can’t believe we’re writing this post when it’s so hot outside, but we’re launching our Christmas Menu!
With only 20 weeks to go until the big day, make sure you book in quick as the diary is already filling up
Our Christmas menu is available from Monday 2nd to Saturday 21st December – 2 and 3 course options available during our lunch and evening service
(pre orders required a week in advance, with a £10 per person non-refundable deposit)
Delighted to share that we have been shortlisted for the Sidmouth Herald’s 2024 Pub of the Year competition 
Just purchase a copy of this week’s Sidmouth Herald (7th of June issue) and you can use the voting coupon inside to vote for us!
Well It’s that time of year again!
Join us for this year’s Six Nations Rugby championship, where all the games will be shown live in the pub!
We are reintroducing our Rugby World Cup drinks deal.
So a pint of Otter Brewery Amber Fresh or Tarka Four, or a pint of Sandford Orchards Devon Red is just…..
£4 a pint whilst a match is in progress!
We’re thrilled to have been part of the Carnival Committee initiative to introduce two Tar Barrel spirits to help with fundraising. The gin and rum are made by Lyme Bay Winery and have been rebranded with the instantly recognisable Tar Barrels logo.
Gin!
The traditional dry gin has botanical flavours of juniper, floral, and citrus notes alongside intoxicating aromas of verbena and the freshness of orange peel, lemon, and lime.
Rum!
For rum lovers, the warming Lugger rum is spiced with a blend of nutmeg, cloves, orange peel and a hint of vanilla.
A tasting event is being run tonight (Friday November 24) at St Mary’s Church from 4pm to late.
Priced at £40 for rum and £38 for gin for a 70cl bottle, these fantastic fundraising spirits, plus the branded wines, can be purchased from the Tar Barrels Merchandise shop in Silver Street and the Volunteer Inn in Broad Street. Perfect for Christmas gifts…
Friday 20th October:
Proudly presenting the launch of the Carnival & Tar Barrels wine! Please join us.
