The pub has a new landlord who is not welcoming or accommodating, charging higher prices and even being accused of unprofessional behavior. Some customers were asked to leave in a shocking manner. However, there are positive reviews mentioning the friendly atmosphere, great selection of drinks, and accommodating staff. The bar is popular among locals and visitors alike, with reasonable prices and a warm welcome. Despite some negative experiences, the majority of reviews highlight the delightful atmosphere and friendly service, making it a recommended spot for those looking for a welcoming pub experience.

The Poole Quay is always a great place to visit. Lots of options on the menu and the food is good, reasonably priced with friendly staff.

A good prise bier. good price, friendly atmosphere.

Great little beer garden and not a bad place to stop if in Totnes. A real pub, clean and tidy with a fair priced bar. Staff friendly and welcoming.
