The Bridge Inn, Topsham This is the page for The Bridge Inn, Topsham. It is thought there was a dwelling on this site as early as 1086, in the time of the Domesday Book.

Here you can share views and comments about the pub and it's beer, and we'll let you know about which beers we have and what events are upcoming. The stonemasons responsible for the construction of Exeter Cathedral may have lodged here. The present building you see is substantially 16th Century, but the actual date of the different parts varies considerably. Unlike today, much building in the past was piecemeal, with new rooms added as necessary. Most of the fabric is local stone, but the old brewhouse at the rear is traditional Devon cob. This has the remains of the hop drying floor, and is adjacent to a large brewing chimney. Great-grandfather was William John Gibbings from Clyst St. George. He moved into the Inn in 1897, and our family has been there ever since. The current licensee is Caroline Cheffers-Heard, his Great Grand-daughter. She is the fourth generation, her daughter Riannon will be the fifth, and Amelia, born in April 2008, will be the sixth generation. The Bridge has a long history of promoting real ale. Ales from local breweries and particularly famous or select ales from the rest of the country are always available, although the actual list varies from week to week. There are usually up to ten real ales available.

Steinway Artist Rupert Egerton-Smith returns to The Bridge Inn on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 19th November at 7pm.
thelittleboxoffice.com/thebridgeinn/
Rupert Egerton-Smith brings a fresh programme of piano music spanning the Baroque period to the Jazz idiom. Panorama starts with the vitality of Scarlatti’s sonatas, through Brahms Intermezzi to Rachmaninov’s extraordinary Variations on a Theme of Corelli (1931). The second half starts in impressionist territory before the jazz sounds of George Gershwin and the mesmerising jazz / classical compositions of the Ukranian composer Nicolai Kapustin. A programme packed with contrast which explores a huge range of the pianistic landscape.
