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!

Their special , and what they are renouned for, are their sizzling steak lunches ( circa £5.99 and available until 6.00pm ). It is absolutely first class - the sirloin steak is cooked on a cast iron platter, with fresh chips, tomatoes,peas and onions. You will be hard pushed to get a steak dinner anywhere in the UK, both at this price, and for deliciousness. They have a good choice of ales, I normally opt for Guinness or Bombardier Ale, with my sizzling steak. The landlord John is a no-nonsense, but very friendly chap, and his staff, are extremely friendly also, especially Bev. A well earned 10 out of 10, and another member of the Best Of British pub grub list. Try it, you won't regret it.
