The Old Inn at Holton has won the south west region of the Great Pub Awards dining pub of the year competition, and has been mentioned in The Indepedent’s list of the top 50 gastropubs in Britain.
As well as the specials and an imaginative “fine dining” a la carte, the Old Inn has plenty of pub favourites and regular affordable choices – steak on Tuesday, simple suppers (two-courses for a set price) on Thursdays), a £5 fish and chips deal always on offer, and a Sunday main-course roast (beef, lamb or chicken) for £7.50.
The 16th century pub had an extensive renovation in 2009. Well worth a visit.
