Visited the Tea Room - friendly welcome in a cosy room towards the back of the Inn. Lovely toasted tea cakes and drinks. There's a wide variety of food and drinks available, as their kitchen serves the pub as well.Wheelchair accessibility: This could be awkward getting to the Tea room, but in warmer weather, the garden would be pleasant.
The Big Skill
First time I went in today. It will definitely not be the last. What a lovely friendly place: such great service. I didn't think places like this still existed.

It's a great place to have a cozy pint or two and attracts people with the same sentiment.Most like to chat and it feels how a good pubs used to be in days of yore

Real gem in Honiton with a family that's owned for over 40 years. Worth a visit ?

Honiton's Answer to Platform 9¾. The Vine Inn Pub and Tearooms may be found at the end of Vine Passage. It's Honiton's equivalent to Platform 9¾ in Harry Potter. At one end is the bustling High Street of our special little Town, and at the other is the peaceful Oasis of the Vine Inn's Garden and it's Warm & Friendly Inn and Tearoom. The Vine is homely and unpretentious and renowned for its Home Cooked Lunches and local Otter Ales served from barrels behind the bar. Most folk prefer to sit in the Pub area and order from the Bar, rather than in the more Spartan Tearoom itself. Oddly, they don't serve Bacon or Sausage Sandwiches which would probably increase their business, so our preferred Breakfast/Brunch order is their Cheese on Toast, which is delicious and so very moreish. Tip - If you order a pot of Tea, always ask for a jug of Hot Water as well. The only negative is their good but overpriced Deserts at £7.25. The entrance to Vine Passage is between the Specsavers Shop and Desire Jewellers, but please keep it to yourself!

We arrived at the wrong time for food, but the people are lovely and the walk to get to it gives Mediterranean vibes with the potted plants. Would go again, my dog loved it.

Wonderful friendly atmosphere. There was a great deal of banter with the staff and regular customers. The meals my daughter and I chose were beautifully presented, hot and extremely delicious. My two dogs were offered treats as well. An altogether excellent experience. We look forward to a return visit.

Out of the way you need to search for it, down through a corridor, food very good especially soup service first
Impromptu visit with a group of friends, very welcoming and friendly. Had a lovely light lunch.
Hidden down an alley of the main street .Small outside sitng area which is a peaceful sun trap away from the street noise
Been to the tea room at The Vine several times. Always excellent. Beautiful garden tucked away from the high street. Photo was taken during September
Very welcoming friendly staff great
