Otter Brewery’s First Pub is Now Open!

April 2, 2025

Otter Brewery has opened its first pub and restaurant in the heart of Exeter!

Located in Cathedral Close, ‘The Holt – Exeter’ promises wood fired pizzas, a wide range of Otter’s ales and lagers, as well as a signature seasonal menu brimming with local ingredients.

Patrick McCaig, Managing Director of Otter Brewery is excited for the opening:

“For many years we have been waiting for the right location to give us the best opportunity to bring something new, exciting and above all independent to the centre of Exeter.  ‘The Holt – Exeter’ is exactly what we have been searching for.  We can’t wait to open the doors and share our passion for locally produced beers and to deliver a menu that makes eating out, easy!” 

Set in a stunning medieval building, the new venue will offer diners a secluded garden seating area and striking courtyard which will be a popular draw during the summer months. Founded in 1990 from a farmhouse in the heart of Devon’s Blackdown Hills, Otter Brewery has grown to be one of the premier brewers in the South West. As a family run business with five generations of expertise, Otter Brewery uses only the finest of ingredients to create first class ales and lagers which are guaranteed to leave customers remembering their first sip of Otter for years to come.

So what are you waiting for, come down, enjoy great food and drinks and relax with an Otter!
