Does food though I haven't tried it is probably good, inexpensive £7 for cottage pie and chips. Should be busier during the day. Jukebox. Well kept. Well impressed. Lots of TVs for sport. At least 2 pool tables. I have played pool here a few times and it's really lively on a Sunday night. Karaoke etc on the evening. My only criticism is that they could have a guest ale on as I am not particularly partial to the two cask ales but they are extremely well kept. RECOMMENDED.

There is a playing area for the kids too. Parking can be a bit limited. You cannot come to Croyde and not try this Surf pub.

As a result it has an eclectic atmosphere that mostly works very well. There are sometimes live bands on, and the Sunday Quiz is very popular (tends to run term time only due to relying on students). I would also recommend the food, which is home made and very good - especially the Sunday Roast, I would count the Veggie option as the best one available locally.

Lively pub, but it has a long standing reputation for being rough, which is justified. There is…read moregenerally a large and lively crowd in on a Saturday night, and there are several bouncers (or bikers or somthing?) on the door, but it is still a little unnerving. You won't see a larger collection of shaved heads and short sleeved polo shirts in Exeter! It's a good venue for live music too, and the quality of cover and tribute bands is more at the level of clubs rather than pubs. The atmosphere in the pub has improved since the smoking ban, but my mrs got a lung infection after a visit to the Longbrooke when it was very smoky, and the air con was knackered. Better more recently.

This pub has several themed bars which are all decorated differently in an olde worlde style with cider presses for tables and antlers for lamps, you can spend all night looking around and the more you look the more strange and unusual things you will spot. The main entrance into the building is built to resemble a stage coach with seating inside it, to the rear, adjoining the building there is a giant boot just like the one out of the nursery rhyme about the old woman who lived in a shoe which houses a slide for the children and adults if you can fit down it!!!! This pub is a MUST for a visit, the owners are very friendly and will tell you the history of the establishment and give you a tour of the various different rooms.

I love the place for her, the atmosphere, the food, the beer. I have taken many people to the place and everyone has been surprised and delighted. It's never seen an interior designer. It's all honest and good. They've been building a few guest rooms at the side of the pub. Now this would be good fun! I'm always driving, so I'd enjoy enjoying a bit more of their 'hospitality'.
