The Thatched Inn

The Thatched Inn The Thatched Inn is a traditional historic pub situated just outside of Bideford in the small village of Abbotsham.

As its name suggest the 15th century stone building has a thatched roof and was originally 3 stone cottages before being converted into a public house. The interior of this ancient inn is equally charming and full of character as many of the buildings original features remain. In the recently refurbished Bar and Restaurants gleaming brassware hangs from the walls and exposed beams to further compl

iment the atmosphere. Not surprisingly, a place this old, steeped in history also has a resident ghost; a former customer who use to meet his loved one at The Thatched Inn! The Thatched Inn has a well deserved reputation for excellent home cooked food at reasonable prices.

Our chefs were on fire this weekend! back‑to‑back functions and a Sunday lunch service that didn’t slow down for a second.
The waiting team matched that energy step for step, keeping the whole place running like a well‑oiled (and slightly smoky) machine.

If you’re looking for a venue for a big birthday, christening, baby shower, or any celebration, drop us an email and we’ll get you in touch with our functions coordinator.
Let’s make your event unforgettable.

Yes, believe it or not, Christmas is fast approaching! ☃️ And while we’re currently basking in heatwave number FOUR 🥵☀️, our chefs have most definitely not been lounging around in the sun. Far from it, they’ve been hard at work, deep in planning mode, dreaming up festive delights while the rest of us are just trying to stay cool! 🎄✨

So it gives us great pleasure to enclose our 2026 Christmas Menu and let you know exactly what’s on offer this year here at The Thatched Inn.

We love nothing more than celebrating Christmas the proper way — with plenty of hearty home-cooked food, local ale, and buckets full of festive cheer. Whether it’s a work do, family gathering or friends catching up, we’re the perfect place to get everyone together! 🎉

Our fabulous 3-course Christmas Carvery Menu is just £38.50 per person. We’ve got plenty of choice for vegetarians and children too, and if you have any special dietary requirements, just ask! We’re always happy to help 😊

📅 When: 27th November – 23rd December 2026 (inclusive)
Do get in early though — we’d hate for you to miss out!

A couple of little housekeeping points:

• Full payment will be needed 7 days before your booking

• Your pre-order just needs to be with us at least 48 hours before you arrive

To book or ask us anything, give the team a call on 01237 471321.

We might be sweating it out right now, but we’re already full of festive spirit and can’t wait to welcome you all later in the year. 😊
