Locale pubs
is a CAMRA initiative that promotes pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale. The scheme builds on a growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of "green" issues.
Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale:
Public Houses, as stocking local real ales can increase pub visits
Consumers, who enjoy greater beer choice and diversity
Local brewers, who gain from increased sales
The local economy, because more money is spent and retained locally
The environment, due to fewer "Beer Miles", resulting in less road congestion and pollution
Tourism, due to an increased sense of local identity and pride!
For further information, or if you are a local publican wishing to join the scheme, please contact our
Beer Scoring and Locale Coordinator, Phil (Billy) Kidd,

The oldest pub in Ashburton, built in 1130 to house the workers of St. Andrews Church (opposite the inn) and has remained an inn since that date although it was originally known as the Church House Inn.

Raleigh was arrested at the Exeter Inn and imprisoned in the Tower of London on 19th July 1603, accused of plotting against the king. There are seated drinking areas either side of the entrance hallway in the main bar, which is L-shaped, rustic and wood-panelled. There are smaller seated areas at the rear.

The Rugglestone Inn is a unique, unspoilt Dartmoor inn delightfully located in the picturesque village of Widecombe in the Moor. Originally a cottage, the Grade II listed building was converted to an inn back in 1823 and named after a local logan stone. It is surrounded by peaceful moorland, adjacent to a pretty stream and just a few minutes walk from the centre of the village. Inside, there is a cosy bar with a wood burner and two further rooms, one of which has an open log fire, together creating a wonderful ‘home from home’ atmosphere. Outside is a large sheltered garden with picnic tables accessible via a small bridge over a delightful moorland stream and from where you can enjoy fabulous views. Children and dogs are welcome but we ask that dogs be kept on a lead. A wide selection of home-cooked food is available. Local farm cider is sold, with the house beer from Teignworthy. The pub’s car park is just down the road. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2012, 2017 and it consistently appears in the GBG. The real ales are on gravity dispense. It was voted Country Pub of the Year and overall runner-up for 2022 by the local CAMRA branch.
