⚽🚫 Football Free Zone — World Cup 2026
The Three Horseshoes is your escape this summer. No screens. No commentary. No chants. Just a proper Devon country pub, a quiet pint, brilliant local food and the warmest welcome.
Long lunches. Sunday roasts. Dogs by the fire. Sun-trap beer garden. Giant Jenga instead of penalties.
Devon is rugby anyway right 😉🏈 ??
The one exception - if England go deep we may put one or two of their games on !
📍 Cowley, Exeter · 5 mins from the city 🍽️ Book: link in bio
EDIT:
Just to clear this up a little, this was never meant as a negative post and certainly not anti football.
We wish England well and we’ll be supporting them all the way. We’re just not planning to show every game.
It’s really just about choice. Not everyone wants to watch the Grand Prix, the horse racing, the snooker final, rugby, or football every time they go to the pub. Each to their own.
In the trade, pubs all have slightly different offers. Some are sports pubs, some are wet led, some are destination food pubs, some are a bit of everything. We’re simply trying to be honest about what we are offering, respect the pubs that do the football thing really well, and let our customers know what to expect before they visit.
There are also practical bits behind the scenes with planning, licensing, staffing and late kick off times, so it is never quite as simple as just sticking the football on.
Sorry if it came across as anti football. It really wasn’t intended that way. We’ll be cheering England on, we’re just also keeping a space for people who want a quieter pint while the tournament is on.
