About Us
The Pigs Nose Inn is a Traditional English Pub with character and the addition of being Devon's most southerly independent live music venue. Located in the village of East Prawle, not far from Kingsbridge. The pub overlooks the charming village green where you can sit down in the summer days and enjoy a Ploughman's Lunch or pub sandwiches.
We hold live music nights and events monthly in our adjoining venue room with previous performances from Atomic Kitten, Stanton Warriors, Lee Scratch Perry, Damon Albarn, The Animals and The Boomtown Rats, to name a few. Where you can dance the night away to a variety of different styles of live music.
The pub’s history dates back more than 300 years, during which it was a Victorian hotel and a smugglers inn that used to 'store the booty' from the various shipwrecks around the coast. Then during the 50s era it was converted into a local petrol station when cars started appearing in the village.
Peter, Lesley & Joss took the pub over around 20 years ago. Before the pub, Peter Webber was in the music industry, he started up one of the very first music studios and equipment hire companies in the UK called Peter Webber Hire Ritz Studios in East Putney, London which has accommodated everyone from The Stranglers, Blur, The Clash, Led Zeppelin and Duran Duran to Take That, Kylie, Amy Winehouse, Mary J Blige and Annie Lennox to name a few.
