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.

Fabulous place, food is so well cooked. Lovely seasonal menu. Staff & landlord could not be more helpful. If in the area, just go. It’s worth it x

Thank you to all the team at The Hour Glass. We had a delicious post graduation supper, relaxed, delicious, great service (especially for 10 people) and a wonderful way to celebrate. Highly recommend.

Great pub, a hidden gem. We visit every time we are in Exeter, and it's always been the same great food and service. Cannot praise enough Outstanding!

Had a brilliant supper at the Hour Glass after our daughter graduated. The food was superb - as always - and the service second-to-none. It's so great to know somewhere where you can be confident that you will have an excellent time and meal.

Had a meal on Monday evening, and enjoyed the bustle of the room with fellow diners. We were welcomed, waited on well and had the menu explained as some interesting dishes. Our starters were excellent, as we're our mains- all cooked excellently and presented very well. We love eating at the Hour Glass and our meal was up to their high standards in a relaxing welcoming atmosphere.

The Hourglass is really delivering delightful food these days. The Rissotto was delicious and my duck was soft and beautifully cooked . It is a great place to meet friends, chat with locals and enjoy conversations with a varied mix of people. It really is an Exeter gem!

Excellent lunch at the Hourglass. Food was creative and well cooked, service and drinks both first rate and great value for money (the set lunch menu particularly so).
