The 13th-century Inn takes its name from Sherriff's famous play The Journey's End, which he started writing while staying here. While good food is served, the main emphasis is on being a proper pub and there are up to four real fires in winter. Up to four Devon beers on gravity behind the bar are available in summer, and three in winter. Beers from Bays, Exeter, Hanlons, New Lion, Platform 5, Roam, South Hams, Summerskills and Teignworthy appear regularly. Beer festivals are held in early March and at the end of September. The dining room is now the games room. The car park is 200m away opposite All Hallows Church. The pub was listed as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) on 19/5/14 by South Hams District Council.
Please note that this pub is not open on Mondays (or on Tuesdays in winter).

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
A fascinating pub, though by no means as old as the ‘A.D.1300 ‘painted outside would have us believe; Historic England date it as 18th and 19th century. It was created out of four cottages with extensions between the wars and again in the 1980s. The entrance corridor (modern panelling) leads to the dining room on the right and on the left an intimate small snug with '2' over the doorway; this has stable-door service, part stone-flagged flooring and a little old panelling. Beyond, the main bar is an inter-war creation with panelling and a fireplace typical of the time plus a wide hatch to the servery where casks are stillaged.
A fascinating old village pub – although not as old as the ‘A.D. 1300’ outside might have us believe! It has been ceated out of four cottages with an interwar extension and a further in the 1980s. The entrance is through a short, tapering corridor with modern panelling: on the right the room numbered ‘1’ is now just used for storage. The real delights begin on the left with Nelson’s Bar, a small snug, partly floored with stone flags and with a stable door hatch to the servery. Off this, down stairs beyond a pair of studded doors, a snug with loose furniture opens up. The Lounge Bar is at the heart of the pub was added in the interwar years. It has fielded paneling to the walls and a wide hatch to the server where casks are stillaged. Beyond is the airy conservatory extension of the 1980s.
