The Talaton Inn is a well-known and well established Freehouse situated in a beautiful part of East Devon. The property was acquired by the current owners (brother and sister) in 2002 and after 2 very successful decades is now offered for sale to enable them to look towards retirement. The Talaton Inn is operated as a traditional village Public House, serving a wide range of beers, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks, in addition to very popular and affordable pub food. The daily menu includes a changing specials board and the Talaton has a wide-reaching reputation for its Sunday lunch. The business benefits from year-round regular trade from the village community and other surrounding villages and is well supported by various clubs and societies who meet on a regular basis. The pub also hosts many skittles matches throughout the year. Historically the business traded with takings approaching £300,000 however in recent years, the vendors have taken the decision to trade on reduced hours. Turnover for the financial year ended 5th April 2022 was £151,805 however under new ownership the business could undoubtedly return to the historic levels of trade.
The business trades Wednesday to Sunday lunchtimes 12.00 noon through to 3.00pm and Wednesday to Saturday evenings 7.00pm through to 11.00pm, opening at the slightly earlier time of 6.00pm in the summer months.
