HGThe Hour Glass InnBook

The kitchen & the cellar

Devon on a plate. Devon in a glass.

Short menu. Long thought. Everything cooked here, most of it grown or reared within an hour of the bar.

Devon Sunday roast — slow-roast sirloin with Yorkshire pudding and pewter tankard of ale
Sundays from 12. We stop serving when the beef runs out — usually around 4pm.

Pint of dark amber Exeter Brewery real ale on the pub bar

On the pumps

Real ale, kept properly.

Six handpumps, four permanents, one guest, one slot we save for whatever the brewery delivers that looks interesting. Mostly Devon, occasionally a wander over to Cornwall, never anything we wouldn't drink ourselves.
