It is so lovely to be able to go into a pub for the first time in so long that I can't pretend to give a neutral, unbiased review. The pub was lovely, the staff were lovely, the locals were lovely and the beer was lovely. There was a large beer garden with plenty of space and a lovely evening was had by all! View all feedback.

The food here is incredible, especially the dirty burger which is absolutely delicious. This has to be my favorite pub in the South Hams.
