Hanlons Brewery produces high quality real ales and has a restaurant on site so you can try their beers as well as eating some gorgeous grub! It is approximately 5 miles from the Old Dairy, but a bus from the end of our road regularly goes past the entrance to the brewery, and there is a bus stop opposite so transport is virtually door to door.

A really lovely pub and micro brewery - the ales are first class - as well as some really high quality food served in a relaxing setting, right next to the railway (hence the name!) If you catch the train from Crediton, alert the guard that you want to get off at Newton St Cyres and check which carriage to be in - its a request only stop. Then its possible to catch the train back or walk into the village for the bus, or walk back - about 5.5 miles. Booking for a meal at the Beer Engine is essential - its that good!
