Topsham is a great place to visit - and not just for its scenery and shops. Whether you want luxurious fayre, a cream tea, or just some great food with your pint, Topsham is well worth a visit.

On March 31st 2006. Topsham was judged Best Small Town for Food in the Western Morning News annual Food Towns awards. The Georgian Tearoom recently won the 'Best Tearoom / Cafe in Devon' award, the Galley Restaurant 'Best Restaurant in Devon', La Petite Maison 'South West Restaurant of the Year', Denley's Essence of India the 2007 Exeter Curry Chef award, and Oliva the Devon Life Restaurant of the Year award. So when we say high quality, it's for real!

Topsham is also a popular place for a good night out, and can cater for most tastes at a very high quality. The CAMRA-recommended Bridge Inn, Globe Hotel and Exeter Inn are just three of its many pubs with varied styles.

Marc Millon maintains a monthly weblog, Notes from a Devon Kitchen. Ray Girvan's Topsham Ten ... 9 reviews our ten (or arguably nine) pubs, with a handy little map for those interested in this traditional excursion.

We are pleased to announce that the Slow Food Devon Market is transferring from Exeter Quay, and will be coming to Topsham's Matthews Hall on a monthly basis (usually the 3rd Sunday in every month, though the 4th Sunday in March and August), with the first market set to take place on Sunday January 20th from 11am until 3pm. Slow Food is a non-profit organisation that stands for 'good food, clean food, fair food'. There will be artisan producers and suppliers; great things to eat and drink; and informative and educational Slow Food taste workshops. It promises to be a great day for both Topsham residents and visitors alike. For more information, see Slow Food Devon
