Walked in and felt unwelcome right away. The staff were extremely rude, they seem only to be jolly with locals. We caught the staff rollling their eyes and scouring at us. Even if we smiled directly at them they would look away like you're not...

I entered the restaurant and immediately left. The experience was awful, with rude and unwelcoming glares from drunken locals who appeared to be intoxicated. The atmosphere was not pleasant and the cleanliness of the establishment was questionable.

The restaurant is packed with locals who seem more interested in showing off than being friendly. The music is so loud that it's impossible to have a conversation inside, explaining why most patrons choose to sit outside.

This local pub is fantastic - it's welcoming, offers reasonable prices, has great bar staff, and is dog-friendly like most pubs in Brixham. The only exception is Wetherspoons.
