Amazing place! Officially the best and my personal favorite…read morepub in all of England. Circa 1540! Ceilings so low even I had to duck a couple times around the many old wood beams and brick arches all over the place. Very small but intimate, warm place with lots of little nooks and cool little places to cuddle up with your special one and a few great pints. Live music was excellent, and it definitely filled the place, making it actually a bit too hot for my comfort, but that's how the English do it. Seating outdoors as well for the smokers. Small bar food menu, but also an upper restaurant part as well with full menu of your usual British food. So glad we stumbled upon this place, somewhat hidden from the main road, and will always be a place we visit when in town.

The pub has a good car park, which is a real plus in Paignton where parking can be an issue. I really like the garden on a summer afternoon or evening. It is really attractive, not very big but a really nice place to sit and relax and if you have children with you it makes life alot easier if they can run round and let off steam while the adults can have a chat and a drink.

I was eventually served by a chap who was quite polite. I ordered 2 slush puppies and the guy asked the land lady where the straws were she said we haven't got any just give him spoons. The food came which was quite nice. I have come again today at the end of my holiday -23rd August thinking things would improve but the land lady served locals whilst the food queue was building up. She told someone else to serve the food order queue -he slammed his paper down and come over. If it wasn't for the fact the family was hungry I would have gone. The food hasn't come yet but other meals look ok. I would recommend a different pub if you want to feel welcome
