About The Stag Inn

Sophie and Matt took over The Stag in December 07. It was in a rather sad state, but they saw the potential for it. So they decided to take on this big project and with a combination of hard work and determination they have been able to restore it to its former glory.

It is now not only the oldest recorded public house in Devon – dating from 1197 – it is also a superb destination pub.

The Stag has a tremendous amount of atmosphere thanks in part to it’s great age and the fact that it is a true ‘tunnel’ pub – the passageway that horses used to be led through to the stables. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all.

Sophie's family own and run a nearby organic farm, West Yeo, and a great deal of the produce that goes into Matt's kitchen comes from that source. Organic beef, organic lamb, organic chickens, organic pork and more.
