Old Union Inn

The Old Union Inn, also known as The Union Inn, is a traditional village pub and restaurant located at Stibb Cross in North Devon, United Kingdom. It sits at a crossroads that is said to be the meeting point of routes from Barnstaple and Bideford to the north, Torrington to the east, and Holsworthy to the west, giving it a passing trade from travellers as well as a local customer base. The pub is run by Clare and Matthew Andrews, who present it as a welcoming, home-cooked food destination with a wide range of beverages, including many locally produced drinks. The pub offers a classic village-pub experience: a large privately owned car park, a beer garden for summer months, two dart boards, and a separate dining area. It hosts local teams and clubs, including two darts teams and a Euchre team, and regularly stages events such as folk nights, bingo, karaoke, and race nights. Food is served daily in the evening, with a Sunday roast menu at midday. Dogs are not allowed inside the pub but are welcome in the garden. The Union Inn is close to several North Devon attractions, including The Milky Way Adventure Park, The BIG Sheep, and Quince Honey Farm, and it has been a proud member of the "We're Good To Go COVID-19 Industry Standard" scheme. As a small, independently run rural pub, the Old Union Inn is part of the traditional British pub sector, serving both the local community and visitors to the North Devon countryside. Its identity is closely tied to its crossroads location and its role as a community hub for darts, cards, and entertainment.
