Whimple pub with great food and drinks

A Warm Welcome From David

The Thirsty Farmer is proudly run by David, who took on the pub in 2024 with a clear goal—to create a welcoming spot for locals and visitors to enjoy great food, quality drinks, and a friendly atmosphere. Having successfully turned around pubs before, he was keen to bring his experience to The Thirsty Farmer and make it a place the community could be proud of.

Being from the local area, David knows what makes a great British pub. Whether you’re relaxing by the log burners, enjoying a game of pool, or making the most of the beer garden, this Whimple pub is a place to unwind and enjoy good company.

With a varied menu, regular events, and a warm Devonshire welcome, David and the team look forward to seeing you soon!

But great food and drink are just the beginning. Expect a warm Devonshire welcome and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes every visit special. Join us at The Thirsty Farmer for a dining experience where flavour, hospitality, and good company come together.

Dog Friendly Pub

We LOVE dogs and love it when your four legged friends visit. They’re guaranteed a fuss and a treat. We can offer them fresh water and treats are available at the bar.

All we ask is that you keep your pooch on a lead at all times.
