Pub of the Month: The Union Inn, Moretonhampstead
A true Dartmoor gem with ale at its heart 🍺
Nestled in the historic heart of Moretonhampstead, The Union Inn is more than just a pub - it’s a piece of Dartmoor’s living heritage. The Union Inn premises are thought to date back to late medieval times - likely a medieval Hall House. Steeped in centuries of hospitality, it's lovingly run by Dave and Siân Colridge and their brilliant team.
Walk through its doors, and you’ll step into a timeless Devon welcome. From its original stable-turned-dining room to its cosy interior unchanged for half a century, The Union is where tradition meets comfort – and great beer is always on tap.
Proudly Pouring Dartmoor Ales
Behind the bar, you’ll find a familiar trio: Jail Ale, Dartmoor Legend, and Dartmoor Zero – a perfect pint for every palate. Whether you’re stopping in after a bracing walk on the moor or meeting friends for a long lunch, this is a pub where our beers truly belong.
