The
Old Smithy Inn
reopened at Easter 2004 much to the relief of a very thirsty village! Real
ales are from Sharp's brewery and include Anvil ale, a brew specially selected
for The Old Smithy. Chefs Lee and Chris prepare a variety of interesting dishes
made using quality locally sourced ingredients. Chrissy and Lee have set about
restoring some character to this lovely thatched pub by using local artist's
and photographer's work to decorate the walls and reintroducing roaring log
fires.
The Old Smithy Inn is delighted to have won second place in the pub section of the North Devon Marketing Bureau's Food and Drink Awards 2006.
