About Us

Standing on the village green in East Prawle, the Pig’s Nose Inn sits close to one of the most southerly points in Devon, a landscape shaped by farmland, sea air and the rugged cliffs of the South West Coast Path. For centuries this remote corner of the South Hams has attracted sailors, farmers, walkers and travellers, and the village pub has always been the place where people come together.

In more recent decades the Pig’s Nose became known for its lively atmosphere and its music hall, hosting an eclectic mix of artists and performances that brought visitors from far beyond the village.

Today the Pig’s Nose remains a village pub at heart — shaped by its history, its community and its remarkable setting on the edge of the Devon coast.

the music

Live music has been part of the Pig’s Nose story for decades.

The pub’s music hall has hosted an extraordinary range of artists over the years, from Atomic Kitten, Stanton Warriors, Lee Scratch Perry, Damon Albarn, The Animals and The Boomtown Rats, The Blockheads to name a few.

Regular live music nights continue to be a huge part of life at the pub, with everything from local bands to touring artists filling the room.

the kitchen

The kitchen at the Pig’s Nose is led by Head Chef Joss Webber, whose cooking centres on seasonal British ingredients sourced from Devon and the surrounding South West.

Menus change regularly throughout the year, reflecting what is best from local farms, fishermen and producers. Much of the preparation is done in-house, from breads and sauces to the smaller details that bring a dish together. The aim is food that feels generous and satisfying, rooted in the traditions of a good pub kitchen while showing an understanding for ingredients and flavour.

Set within the relaxed atmosphere of a village pub, the kitchen aims to offer seasonal cooking that is considered and well executed, but never pretentious.

The Pig’s Nose has been run by the Webber family for over 25 years.

Peter and Lesley Webber built the pub into the much-loved destination it is today, combining great hospitality with its now famous music nights.

Today the pub is run by their son Joss Webber and his partner, who oversees both the kitchen and the future direction of the Pig’s Nose while continuing the traditions that make the pub such a special place.
