About The Hour Glass Inn

The Hour Glass Inn is a traditional Exeter pub dating back to 1848 that’s close to the Quay and just five minutes from the city centre. It was rescued from closure by Exeter Brewery and a sympathetic refurb has retained its real character with original features including a wood-panelled dining room and an open fire. The menu is built around local, seasonal produce with Devon suppliers namechecked on the website. And complementing the accomplished cooking there’s an interesting selection of wines as well as the well-kept beers you would expect and a great range of whiskies. The Hour Glass Inn also runs a Quiz Night every Monday and a Vinyl Night once a month.

I had my birthday meal here with family and a Sunday Roast. Wonderful portions, the pork was delicious and all the veg was yummy; cabbage carrots and stuffing, cauliflower cheese, roasties and even brisket in the beef yorkshires. We were all very happy with our tasty meals, and with the lovely fire in the bar. We will be back. Thank you

We had such a lovely evening at The Hourglass celebrating a birthday with seven friends. The food was incredible, beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the service was fantastic. Thank you for looking after us so well and making the evening feel special. Five stars from us!

We didn’t know there was more than one dinning room so we were advised we would be downstairs. My husband uses a walking stick following spinal surgery so stairs are a problem. Luckily there is another entrance to the downstairs room which we were quickly shown so all resolved. Food was plentiful and extremely tasty, I particularly liked the Yorkshire pudding full of slow cooked brisket. We were so full after our lunch we weren’t able to to eat another course. We will definitely come again. Service excellent.

Booked a table of 6 for a Sunday evening. Giles rang me on the Friday to explain that they would only be serving small plates and sides and gave me the opportunity to cancel in case we had wanted main meals. Decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Cracking food, brilliant service and we all said we’d return. A really great find and we’ll be recommending to local friends. Thank you! And bonus points for actually being open and serving food on a Sunday evening!
