The suet puddings and pies cover some interesting flavours, the Christmas one containing ham, chicken and turkey was especially good. There is a good beer garden out the back, just don't let your kids damage the fence with a soccer ball and the Publican will be happy enough! In winter there is a fire and the parking is generally good. It's an odd location nestled between the river and a petrol station but definitely worth a visit.

The staff are just lovely, each of them is friendly and will have a joke with you, regardless of whether you are a regular or not. Prices are standard for drinks. Food though, this is where the place shines. although certainly not cheap, the quality is just brilliant, all food is cooked to a brilliant standard, and the variety of the menu is stunning considering the size of the establishment. A really brilliant choice if you are looking for a good meal, i'm consistently impressed when i go there. Also has an outdoor beer garden, which is nice in the summer, but nothing special and certainly not a feature i would say is outstanding. Overall, it's a lovely pub, with brilliant service, but the food is what makes it stand out above anywhere else in Plymouth.

It's an old, rustic pub with a pool table and a cordoned off section for buffets. We had a works do there once and the food was really nice - in particular there was a nice big platter of hot salmon - mouth is watering at the thought of it! Oh, and there's a dartboard too. An interesting crowd gather around the dartboard and pool table! The toilets are pretty grim (like many pubs) and it's tough to park on the sloping car park. It's not a central pub, so only really worth visiting if it's in your area.

Just follow the signs past the Mayflower Steps and walk up the hill -- you'll find it! The fish and chips platter is massive. I'm not entirely sure how big a cod is but I think I had most of it on my plate. The chips were very good, as were the mushy peas, but there was just no hope of finishing it. I've had the Sunday roast beef as well, with all the usual accompaniments including Yorkshire Pudding. While it's not the best I've had thus far in my time in the UK (that honor belongs to The Cherub in Dartmouth) it was probably #2 on the list. Much like the fish and chips, it was more food than I could come close to eating in one sitting, but really excellent quality. The gravy was very flavorful and worked well with all the veggies on the plate. It's surprising but nice to have table service in an old pub like the Fisherman's Arms and the place has a nice relaxed atmosphere. I think this is a little more expensive than your average Sunday pub roast, but with the service I think it was worth it.

Despite having other places to go I ended up staying for 3 good pints, of which the best was the Harvest Moon Ale from Saltaire. I could see why the pub has been the local pub of the year for 3 years now. I enjoyed a bit of joshing banter with the group at the bar, each time I went up for a refill. The music was pretty good too. The only drawback for me is its location on Mutley Plain. I'd love to relocate it to the Barbican!
