Prime Minister Visits the Drewe Arms

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and Mel Stride at the Drewe Arms

It was fantastic to welcome the Prime Minister to the Drewe Arms here in Central Devon.

The Drewe Arms is a community pub with a fascinating back story, and is only in operation today because of the hard work and dedication of local volunteers.

When the Drewe Arms closed in 2022, a group of locals came together to form a community benefit society in the hope of purchasing the pub.  

The mission was a success and over 600 people became shareholders, raising enough money for the pub to be bought and refurbished. 

I visited last month to see the new and improved Drewe Arms in all its glory and was so impressed that I invited the Prime Minister to drop in for a pint and a catch up with the team.

You can read more about the Drewe Arms Community Pub’s fantastic story on their website: https://www.drewearms.org/

Please do consider stopping by for Ploughman’s and a pint of local ale if you’re in the Drewsteignton area!
