The village's other amenities include one pub, a primary/junior school rebuilt in 2006, popular pre-school – in a brand new building from September 2008 but still on the same site at Pinhoe School, doctor's surgery, several shops, an estate agency, sub Post Office, pharmacy, two Chinese takeaways, a cocktail bar, and two hairdressers. In November 2013, there was a proposal from a housing developer to destroy the village centre and create a large roundabout rather than the current joined mini-roundabouts. This proposal would have involved the loss of the Po Lee Chinese takeaway and the recently restored historic Poltimore Arms pub and caused a public outcry, however the pub was later demolished anyway to make way for a future retail unit.
