This is a Wetherspoon pub, but is one of the best in Tiverton, so should be in anyone's guide. Access for the disabled is possible, though you need to come at the pub from the rear and not the front as there are steps down into the pub here on the banks of the river Exe. Once inside, you have some round tables and chairs in front of you before you hit the bar area to the right. This is not a long affair by some standards and could cause trouble getting served at peak periods as people stack up at the bar. The decor is typical Wetherspoon, though you should look out for the visible well in the bar area. You can step on the glass top, but don't look down!! As this is along thin pub, you can go quite a way into it to find seating all the way down its length. At the bottom there are booths and behind some pillars bench style seating and tables. From there you get a view to the river, though it's not the easiest to see. There are usually three guest ales on here and the obligatory local brew from Exmoor. All were served well and at a price you cant sniff at. Food is served all day and comes from regularly updated menus again at a price you'll like. Worth a stop in in the area. No accommodation here.

Additional Notes: I agree with everything in this review, although it should be noted that the 'well' is a great feature of this pub, often overlooked. Good friendly staff, nice food, the only real gripe is getting a drink on a Saturday night, be prepared to wait! Other people from Tiverton have also commented on this pub at therealtiverton

Prince Regent
Lowman Green

Tiverton
Devon
EX16 4LA.

This is an odd looking pub as it is very thin with a narrow bar area. However, they do a good local beer from Cotleigh plus an occasional guest. It is down from the main street on the way out of the town centre down Station Road. Worth a stop in just for the local beer.

Additional Notes: I stayed in the hotel above the prince regent pub, great place , very clean... and the people are superb.... they really are great people ... But I think I woke up to early for the breakfast to be made.... But I did have a breakfast the first morning, but after that no one was to be seen.... Next time I would like my breakfast please... That's not a complaint, because the place really deserve a thumbs up for its hard work that mad the place like that..... (Ryan Bez - 24/10/04)
