When The Bull Inn in the Rotherfold closed in October 2017, a number of its long serving customers found a long term foster home with Kathy, Rob and Jo at The Bay Horse Inn, the pub with a garden at the very top of the town.
The Bull Inn re-opened in December 2019 and though it is an outstanding restaurant with lodging rooms its ambience was such that it didn't appeal to the former Bull Inn afficionados who have now taken up residence at The Bay Horse on a more permanent basis. And why not? the hosts are welcoming (there were a few glitches but these were largely straightened out). The beers and ciders are local and outstandingly well kept. I like The Pandit Ale, a local brew, but I am a letdown on the cider as I drink the Suffolk sparkling draught cider made by Spalls, I thinks it''s refreshing but also I am not enough of a real man to drink the local cider.
The Bay Horse and the The Bull have now re-opened following their closure during these months of special measures caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Bull Inn is providing excellent food again, yet so many in the Totnes area particularly at the top end of the town will be relieved and delighted that The Bay Horse Inn, the traditional, well kept, old fashioned, welcoming pub opens again at 4.30pm today. Any hiatus in human social activity changes the dynamic but The Bay Horse Inn is a pub with a lot of good will supporting it.

| The Bay Horse Inn, this morning |
Personal matters do not allow to return at the moment but on my birthday in October I am sure to present myself. I may even learn to knit.
All the best to Kathy, Rob, Jo and all the staff. Long may you canter.
