Considered to be one of the prettiest pubs in the area, the Blue Ball Inn is the ideal location should you wish to visit us for a glass of wine, a pint of traditional real ale, a tasty bar snack or a enjoyable lunch or evening meal. Inside, you will find a relaxed ambiance full of style and comfort with its cosy interior. During the cooler months the real log-burning fire creates a lovely atmosphe

re whilst in warmer months you can sit outside in our beer garden which enhances this charming restaurant and pub watering hole. Our Chefs take real pleasure in cooking culinary delights and delicacies using Devon's finest produce that always reflects the season of the year. With a well thought out wine list to compliment our menus which change regularly, along with a high level of service, one can look forward to food cooked to perfection and an afternoon or evening of something just that little bit special.

📣 TO ALL OUR LOYAL BLUE BALL SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE PARKED WITH US THIS SEASON 📣

As a ‘Thank You’ for your continued loyalty of us and in support of our boys getting into the final, we are offering parking for only £1 this Saturday! We had planned to do it for free but our booking system would not allow this!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️😩

Parking can be booked the usual way via our link which will be posted up on our FB page tomorrow morning from 12pm, so make sure you follow us! 👌 THERE WILL BE NO FIRST COME FIRST SERVED AVAILABLE ON THE DAY!

PLEASE NOTE:
‼️ To ensure our parking goes to those who have supported our small family run business on rugby days as well as our boys and not just in the wake of glory:
Should we not recognise you when we check you in and get you parked up (TBF literally think we know you all! 🤪) we will be asking a random entry question that only our regular parkers will know the answer to. Should you not be able to answer that question, you will either have to pay our full pre paid charge of £15.45 - (which will get donated to Guide Dogs For The Blind) or get turned away! No messing - no arguing! 🙏

And last but not least…..COYC!!! 🏉🏆🤞🏻

MARCH ON BATH – SUPPORTERS CLUB TRAVEL INFO

The Dumnonii warriors gather once more as the Exeter faithful prepare to head east for Saturday’s play-off clash at Bath!

🍺 The Blue Ball will be open from 9:00am
🚗 Parking available at the rear of the pub by the marquee
🚌 Supporters Club coaches depart promptly at 10:30am

Please allow plenty of time to park, and enjoy a pre-match drink before boarding. The coaches will leave on time, regardless of whether you’re halfway through your bacon roll or telling everyone how you would’ve selected the team differently!

A huge thank you to everyone travelling with us. Let’s make sure the Rec knows when the Exeter Chiefs Supporters Club has arrived.

⚔️ And before anyone asks… yes, some of the pictures we’ve been posting were created using AI. Unfortunately, real Dumnonii warriors, war horses and siege engines weren’t available for the photoshoot, and Bath Council were surprisingly reluctant to let us recreate the invasion of 43 AD.

See you all on Saturday

This year marks an incredible 175 years of St Austell Brewery – a remarkable achievement and something well worth celebrating. 🍻🎉

As business partners , we know how challenging the hospitality industry is and right now it’s very tough! That’s why we’re especially proud to be part of the St Austell Brewery estate.

Being backed by a family-run brewery that genuinely understands the trade, supports its pubs, and shares our passion for great hospitality is something we never take for granted.

We’ve had some fantastic times over the years, and we’re excited for what the future holds.

Congratulations to everyone at St Austell Brewery on reaching this amazing milestone. Here’s to 175 years of great beer, great pubs, and great people – and many more to come! 🍺
