About The Oak at Dewlish
The Oak at Dewlish looks more like a small country manor than a pub. Inside is warm and welcoming, the bar has
a traditional log-burning stove. The handsome bar is made of oak, and is surrounding with solid oak flooring. This cosy
inn provides the perfect relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy a fine drink or an excellent home-cooked meal.
There are always two or three real ales on tap at this Free House, together with a good range of lagers, ciders, wines, spirits,
soft drinks, teas and coffees. Local produce forms the basis for our excellent dishes that we offer, which include
traditional favourites and more modern dishes. In fine weather meals can be enjoyed on our patio or in the
attractive beer garden.
At the heart of the community, The Oak at Dewlish is justly popular with the local villagers and visitors alike.
