| If you want to know what a proper country pub should be like. This is the place to see. Hard to find along narrow country lanes. A small faded sign of a red lion on the road side leads into the farm yard. A larger sign above the door, that opens into the hallway. On the right is the main bar. With a little corner seat and table. Across the hallway is a second room. The Landlady will come out of her living room to serve you and happily chat. She will also explain the puzzles left here. I managed to solve two. But I think they were the easy ones! captaineric - 23 Apr 2013 09:58 |
| Just go there. Now. Before it is too late. Sample a piece of living history, and the Landlady’s impeccable Devonian accent. JoWard25 - 30 Jan 2013 01:17 |
| Not the easiest place to find in the dark being hidden down country lanes. There is a faded inn sign (showing a Red Lion) but no real indication that you are here as the pub is on the edge of a farm yard. There is one room containing a single table with four chairs - this is covered in wooden and metal puzzles belonging to a local who changes them from time to time (he owns thousands). A back room may be available at busy times (if there is such a thing - the 90 year old landlady informed us that it was quiet most days although there were often a few more in on Mondays as some of the other pubs in the area close on that evening). Only one beer - Otter - served from a polycask at only �2.50. Apart from beer there are just a few bottles of drink for sale. This pub is probably unique now - a bar on a working farm. The landlady's living room is the other side of the bar and she will leave this to come and serve (and chat) to you. Absolutely no pretentions, and very much worth the time hunting it down. A fantastic pub only open from 7-10:30 Monday to Saturday. anotherpintplease - 28 Sep 2012 06:58 |
| This place should be bought by the National Trust so that it never ever changes, it's a lovely pub, friendly people and great beer - well worth a visit. tso617 - 3 Sep 2008 16:20 |
| I moved to Luppitt 5 weeks ago and this is now my local. It's not your city or a touristy pub so steer clear if that's your thing. It's more a turn of the century C19 small village inn that has remained unchanged - thank heavens too - because it's the friendliest pub I've ever had the pleasure of frequenting, the landlady (Mary Wright) and regulars are very welcoming - contrary to what our American vistors posted earlier. There are a selection of puzzles to keep you occupied and believe me they will keep you occupied so you'll need to keep an eye on the time because they are enthralling; and they do change over the weeks so there's always something new to test your wits against. So pop in and say hello and come and experience probably one of the last surviving pubs of it's kind. Will. WaitorseBoyz - 3 Sep 2008 16:12 |
