A friendly local pub in the heart of Topsham

Gary and Caroline welcome you to Drakes, a cosy and friendly local pub in the riverside town of Topsham, Devon. We have a selection of Real Ales and a well-stocked wine list.

Formerly the Western Union Hotel, Drakes has a long history and famous connections; George Gale, its owner in the 1880s, married Thomas Hardy's cousin Tryphena Sparks.

Now a popular modern pub in the heart of Topsham, Drakes maintains a traditional high standard of service.
