Pub, Restaurant and Woodfired pizza – Now Open!
As proud partners of Devon’s Otter Brewery, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our new pub & restaurant in the heart of Exeter’s historic Cathedral Square. Building on the exceptional reputation of The Holt-Honiton (established in 2005) we are bringing our passion for hospitality and locally sourced ingredients to the city. Set in a stunning medieval building with plenty of extra outdoor summer seating in an extensive secluded garden, our new venue features a wood-fired pizza oven alongside our signature seasonal dishes. We look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our menu and relax with an Otter!
