The people of Lapford turned up in their hundreds to welcome the new landlords of the Old Malt Scoop Inn when it re-opened for business.
The freehold of the historic pub has been acquired from Punch Taverns by Linda and Trevor Voaden and they have set about a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment.
In just two weeks the couple have stripped the pub and created a very comfortable and contemporary environment while retaining many of the original features that remind you that the building is an historic Grade II listed property.
Work continues to progress well on a brand new pub and restaurant opening soon in Exeter.
The Pinhoe Hoard, which is being built by Marston’s Inns and Taverns, will cater for 185 diners and will offer fresh Rotisserie chicken every day, as well as a selection of other home cooked meals, and an extensive range of drinks.
The pub manager has now been recruited and activity is well underway to recruit all team members. We are now recruiting for the following positions including:

Dance the night away to live versions of songs by Madonna, Queen, Police, Hazel O'Connor, Talking Heads, Kim Wilde, Blondie, Eurythmics, Dexy's Midnight Runners and many more.
