user reviews of Union Inn, Newton Abbot

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Some very nice beers on offer.
Exe Valley It's Phil's Ale, Hunters Easy Street Blues, Butcombe Original, 6X, and the not so nice Doombar.
Very good choice of food at ridiculous low prices - ever.
Just about gets the pub atmosphere.

Very attractive flower arrangement outside.
Good choice of real ales (4/5).
I had a very nice pint of Doombar.
Sunday lunch time and every table had a "Reserved" sign on it.
So our group had to stand at the bar making it difficult for other customers to get served.
For that reason we didn't stop for a second (or third) pint.
Shame !
Maybe drinkers (non eaters) should have there own drinking area like the smokers !

Large, single room pub with entrances either side of the bar which, unusually faces inwards to the back wall. Five pumps - four in operation on my visit - serving Doom Bar, Tribute, Teignworthy Beachcomber and O'Hanlons Port Stout. I tried the Port Stout which was good.
On my midday visit, 90% of the clientele were of the elderly persuasion and all of them were eating (a coachload of tourists perhaps?).
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just didn't have the right atmosphere that I look for in a pub. However, I will try it again next time I'm in the area

I was there last week and it seemed to have a good quantity of local drinkers present. The beer quality was very good and prices were nothing like the horror story experienced by one contributor-in fact, I thought they were quite cheap. I will certainly go there again.

I recently had breakfast here before doing a tour around Tucker's Maltings.Substantial and reasonable price for what is a tourist town.

After the tour went back for a quick Bass while waiting for the Cider Bar to open.

I may be wrong but I have the impression this is a restaurant that sells beer rather than a pub.

Extremely quiet pub on a late Friday afternoon. Indeed we were the only people here for a while. The two guest real ales were Cotleigh Honey Buzzard and Archers February Flavour. The place lacked a bit of atmosphere as it was so quiet.

never paid �2.50 for half of 4.4% bitter from the local brewery before. a nice little pub but I can't afford to go there!
