The Yarcombe Inn

Our "local" is a traditional village pub serving good beer, nice wines and great pub food.  You are assured of a warm welcome by Lyndsay and Alan.  Their style is relaxed and informal but they run their pub with a professional touch that makes it exactly right as a village local.  Sadly we don't get to spend too much time in the pub...but maybe on reflection that's not such a bad thing!  But we often pop in for a lemonade when time allows.

Yarcombe is also fortunate to be surrounded by other little villages each with their pub, each with its own style and atmosphere, nearby you will find:

The Flintlock Inn at Marsh.   The menu at The Flintlock is always interesting with dishes that are well thought out and great value for money.  More a dining pub than a drinking pub The Flintlock has a relaxed atmosphere in a cosy setting.

The Kings Arms at Stockland combines the traditional feel of a village pub with public bar and skittle alley with a great menu and fantastic wine list.  The service there is always friendly and with the choice to dine in one of three different areas you can have anything from a quick bar meal to the full monty!

The Howley Tavern at Howley is the nearest pub to Yarcombe and as well as serving food has a great pub-y feel to it.  With pool table and TV in the lounge it is the place to go to meet us Yarcomb-ites and our neighbours over a pint.

A bit further afield and definitely worth a visit is The Blagdon Inn at Blagdon Hill.  This is one of the best appointed pubs in the area and has a great menu, great wine and really great staff.  It's the pub we go to if we can sneak out for a lunch!
