A Look Inside...

East Street Pub Co. traces its roots to the charming Devon town of Newton Abbot. Our journey began with the Union Inn, located on, you guessed it ‘East Street’ and soon expanded to include the Rio Grande and Olive Tapas venues, both just around the corner.

Founded by the Narvidge Family, local to the area and driven by a passion for creating something unique and exceptional, the family vision has grown remarkably over the years.

Expanding with new venues in Paignton and Teignmouth. While Olive later closed, Rio Grande underwent a major refurbishment in 2019, reopening as Twelve Twenty, a nod to the year Newton Abbot’s iconic clocktower was built.

Today, our portfolio includes over nine venues across South Devon, including the vibrant themed activity site VIVA in Torquay and the one-of-a-kind street golf experience on Paignton seafront, beneath The Hyde Dendy.

Each of our venues offers a unique experience, but all are united by a dedication to exceptional service, food, and drink—rooted in our core values.
