The Diggers Rest

The Diggers Rest The Digger's Rest is a traditional thatched village pub in the middle of the pretty east Devon villa
(266)

Boasting a warm, relaxing atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink with friends, and something from the delicious home-cooked menu available throughout the day. We are particularly proud of our food which is freshly prepared and locally sourced. The menu changes to reflect seasonal availability and there is a Specials Board where we can offer rarer treats. We’re family friendly, includin

g the four-legged members, and can promise that whatever the reason for your visit, Dan, Arwen and the team will make you feel welcome and at home. A disabled access ramp is available - please ask at the bar or ring ahead.
