The Drewe Arms

This is a favourite pub of mine, it has been for over 30 years.Time has not been so kind especially over Covid period. It was shut over a period of time but so glad to see it back open. The place does need some love, I should imagine it can do very well like The Bell in Chittlehampton with some help.Dont shun the place off my review, please dont let that put you off. Go and try for yourself. These village pubs dont do do well when the weather is lovely as visitors tend to flock to the coast.Hopefully the owners will support the landlord to speed up maintenance and get this delightful old girl with a tap room, no bar as such back where she should be.in case not guessed were a yearly visitor ane back always look forward to a visit, well be back again before we depart.please use these pubs they have a lot to offer, part of our history.

Ham salad - VERY disappointing- u could see through the “wet” ham. Hunters chicken excellent. Very accommodating people. Didn’t like to bring attention to my meal. Would go back as were local but not have a ham salad or sandwich- bread was bog standard white yuk bread.

Fantastic that the community has bought this. All the very best.

Very warm welcome! It's been a pub since the 1600's! And there are stories to go with it! My boy's loved hearing them! They've not stopped telling their mates about our visit!Good luck to the new landlord btw!

Lunch - good pub grub served with a smile and with good ales. Nothing pretentious here, just a real local pub.Evening Open Mic night. ...A great welcome for us as two holidaying buskers. Unusually for some mic nights, there were no prima donnas - just genuine and talented musos covering many styles. A really appreciative audience and musicians who'd stayed for the whole evening - not just doing their bit and leaving. An excellent night in a proper pub - thank you.

Nice little pub but still closed,It's being taken over by a few groups of people

I came upon this pub by pure chance on a trip to study Edwin lutyens architectural masterpiece Castle Drogo. This pub was the cherry on the top of the cake. About 400 years old and unspoilt interior an absolute gem serving top quality cask conditioned real ale. Perhaps it's because it's Off the Beaten Track that this pub has managed to survive so well. Any lovers of Real Ale and historic pubs needs to visit this place. Definitely in my top 10 favourite pubs in England.

The pub is closed and up for sale sadly. Looks nice from the outside and right next to the church.

Good authentic pub, good beers, food looked good too. A warm welcome, first class service. Shame we weren't there for long. Lovely history inside about the oldest Landlady. I recommend stopping for a drink. Beautastic!
