A rare chance to take on a beautifully refurbished, character-filled pub in the heart of rural Devon.

The Three Little Pigs is a thriving, community-focused pub set on Crediton’s picturesque market square. With strong year‑round trade, a loyal local following, and a reputation as the town’s go‑to rugby venue, this is the perfect opportunity for a bold operator who wants to make their mark in a vibrant market town.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• A natural leader who inspires both teams and guests
• An excellent communicator and confident event planner
• Passionate about hospitality, pubs and people
• Experienced in similar pub or hospitality settings
• Skilled at driving sales through events, quality service and community engagement

About the Pub

The Three Little Pigs sits proudly in the centre of Crediton, a historic mid‑Devon market town with excellent links to Exeter and the M5. The town enjoys a strong local trade, regular festivals, two monthly farmers markets, and steady footfall from visitors heading to Dartmoor, Exmoor, and the surrounding countryside.

Key features include:

• Two distinct bar areas around a U‑shaped bar
• A restaurant/function room with its own bar
• A unique interior full of eclectic bric‑a‑brac
• Outdoor seating for 18 at the front overlooking the market square
• Additional 20 covers to the rear, including a covered, heated area

Private Accommodation

This is a true lifestyle opportunity, supported by extensive, well‑maintained private accommodation:

• Four bedrooms
• Kitchen
• Lounge
• Office
• Two bathrooms
• Two large outbuildings for storage

This is the ideal pub for an operator who thrives at the centre of a community — someone who loves building relationships, hosting events, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re driven, people‑focused, and ready to bring energy to a standout Devon pub, The Three Little Pigs offers the perfect platform.
