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.

Incredible Sunday Roast. Whether it was mine or my friends’ dishes all was nicely presented. The service was smooth despite a rather busy place. Booking is essential to make sure a table is available.

An old-school vintage pub full of charm. When we first walked in, we instantly loved the feel of the place. It had that traditional, cosy atmosphere with friendly bar staff and plenty of locals, which always gives a pub a good vibe. We headed out the back for a meal after being told the food was good. The menu looked promising, but what arrived on the plates absolutely blew us away. Every dish looked amazing and tasted even better. We all ordered different selections for each course and ended up trying each other’s because they were that good, honestly, we couldn’t decide which one was best. The whole meal was outstanding from start to finish. We would normally only have two courses, but the food was so good we ended up having all three. Absolutely top-notch and highly recommended.

I wanted to visit the hourglass as I hadn't been for a year or so and, as always, it provided a wonderful meal with delightful service in a lovely, intimate setting. They even called ahead of time to see if we wanted to join the pub quiz. Brilliant.
