Property details
The Queen’s Head is a welcoming and characterful Grade II-listed pub, perfectly positioned on Castle Street in the heart of Tiverton, Devon. Dating back to around 1850, the building retains its period charm with sash windows, a slate roof, and roughcast construction. Situated opposite the historic Tiverton Castle, the pub is surrounded by the town’s winding historic streets, independent shops, and key amenities, including Tiverton Pannier Market and the local hospital. The pub is well-supported by a growing population, aided by recent housing and service developments. Tiverton itself is a thriving market town of around 20,000 residents, with strong commuter links to Exeter via Train at the Parkway station, just over a ten-minute walk away. The pub is also easily connected to surrounding towns and cities via the A361 and A396.
This is a single-bar operation with the servery directly opposite the main entrance, leading into a spacious, open-plan trading area. The ladies’ and gents’ toilets are located at the far end, accessible via a door to the attractive courtyard patio. Beside the bar, a doorway leads to the trade kitchen and stairs to the domestic accommodation, while the same-level cellar can be conveniently accessed from the courtyard.
Externally, the courtyard garden is well presented with tables, benches, and parasols, and also provides access to two skittle alleys and a rear gate to the road, where parking is available.
The private accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, an office, a living room, and a bathroom. All very well presented, cosy and comfortable.

Trading style
This thriving wet-led pub serves a well-curated range of keg beers, complemented by an extensive spirits selection to suit all tastes. A choice of tempting bar snacks adds to the offer, attracting both loyal regulars and passing trade. Occasional live music brings an extra buzz, while the dedicated darts area and pool table serve the active sports teams. Skittles, darts, and pool will ensure the pub remains a lively hub for social sport and friendly competition.
The landlords are seeking a licensee with the passion and know-how to run a warm, welcoming, and truly traditional wet-led pub in the heart of Devon. This charming venue is equally suited to first-time operators and seasoned professionals, but it calls for a genuine ‘mine host’, someone at the very heart of the community, while also offering a friendly welcome to visitors. The ideal licensee will deliver everything that makes a classic community pub thrive: a well-balanced drinks range, a lively and inclusive atmosphere, and a retail offer that draws people back time and again. From perfectly kept pints to irresistible bar snacks and creative back-bar food opportunities, you’ll have the scope to make the most of every asset this lovely pub has to offer.
