Welcome to The Holt, Honiton

As one of the best places to eat in this historic market town, everything from the home smoked prawns to a delicious fresh malt ice cream is produced under the watchful eye of Head Chef Angus McCaig. Menus changes every six to eight weeks and showcase a plethora of local suppliers. Drop in for a leisurely lunch, some exciting tapas or just to catch up with friends.

The other major draw here is that The Holt stocks the delicious range of the five Otter beers. Made just eight miles away at Luppitt, Otter Bitter, Head, Ale, Bright, and most recently Amber, are completely natural products all made using water from the head springs of the River Otter. We believe premium beer should deliver taste and flavour without compromise and also be a great accompaniment to food.

Brewing has been in the family for three generations and The Holt is an extension of the McCaig’s family philosophy of providing a distinctive and sustainable taste of Devon. The last six months have been a very exciting time for The Holt; gaining entry into the 2009 Michelin and Alastair Sawday guides, reaching the final of the Devon Food Awards and being named 'Best Gastropub in the South West' just before Christmas.
