Shaun Cassidy leads an ambitious team well versed in hospitality. A Michelin-trained chef by trade, Shaun is a strong believer in the important role played by the great British pub within a community and an advocate for providing real value for money in challenging times.

East Devon born and bred, an extensive career in cooking professionally across the South West has developed into an exciting new chapter. After a successful twelve month spell (post lockdown) renovating and relaunching the Old Inn at Kilmington, the opportunity arose in 2022 to take over his own dream property in nearby Axmouth.

Underpinned by great service, the aim now is to grow the Harbour into one of Devon’s best pubs.

THE GOOD PUB GUIDE 2023
"Fabulous roast dinner, five different vegetables and plenty of them, lots of tender and tasty meat. Accompanied by good wine and beer, what more could you ask for?"
