The pretty village of Halberton is located between the historic market towns of Cullompton and Tiverton, close to the neighbouring village of Sampford Peverell. The picturesque Grand Western Canal, only a few meters away is not only a source of customers but a place to enjoy during quieter moments. Deeply rooted in farming tradition, many of the surrounding farm’s date as far back as Doomsday. The village has a very strong sense of community with a resident population of circa 1800 people. The surrounding countryside provides a huge catchment of villages and small towns, with the Hickory Inn attracting visitors from this central Devon belt and beyond. The Hickory Inn is located 3.5 miles from junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway mainline railway station and 4 miles east of Tiverton. The City of Exeter is approximately 18 miles to the South West.

The property has been extended to the rear over the years and is laid out in a loose ‘L’ shaped formation.

The main feature of the property is undoubtedly the stunning vaulted restaurant situated to the rear of the property.

General Information
The Business
The Hickory Inn is an extremely well-established business, which benefits from a huge and growing catchment area with additional housing developments in Tiverton, Willand' Cullompton and Sampford Peverell.
Whilst the business operates as a food led establishment, there is still the opportunity to exploit wet sales through additional emphasis on the 'locals' market, which had been its focus as the Barge Inn pre 2014 and the New Inn in years gone by. The Hickory currently is operated as a grill and bar and prides itself on freshly prepared food, cooked with locally sourced products and a selection of North American style dishes on offer. The Hickory inn also caters for vegetarian and vegan diners too and the Sunday all you can eat buffet is particularly popular attracting customers from all over Devon each week.
The pub also has good wet trade with a wide range of Devon draft ales on offer together with lagers, ciders, spirits and an enticing wine list. The Hickory Inn also advertises a rolling agenda of events including live music, quiz nights, a weekly breakfast club etc. And is very much at the heart of the community and largely unopposed. The pub is dog friendly and welcomes children too.
The business is operated by a team of full time and part time staff. The Hickory Inn opens from 5-11pm Mondays - 12-11pm on Thursdays, 12-12pm on Fridays, 9.30-12pm on Saturdays and 12-9.30pm on Sundays.
Whilst the business is currently based around the Grill theme, this does not have to apply to a new owner, who would be free to stamp their own character on the business through any number of alternatives (e.g. Carvery, Bed and breakfast, Community hub, Traditional Country Inn. The Hickory Inn has a great community feel and is very well supported by the village, which will undoubtedly continue no matter what style of operation a new owner decides to adopt.
