A great little place situated on Burgh Island near Bigbury. Although you can reach the island at…read morelow tide on foot, at high tide, the only way (other than wading and getting very wet) across is by using the sea tractor, which is very fun but expensive at £1.50 each way! Still the pub is a perfect place on a sunny day. Outside picnic tables to sit on, with a magnificent view of the coast and good array of beers, ciders and ales on tap. The pub itself is small and cosy and almost feels like you have stepped back in time to a proper smugglers pub. For the literary types amongst you, this little islands claim to fame is that it has a hotel that agatha christie used to frequent and based one of her books on.

I went for a Proper Job and was not at all disappointed. Delicious. (See photo below)

I've been here twice now. It's not entirely easy to find, since it bills itself as being on the…read moreBarbican but it's tucked up behind what I think most people would consider "The Barbican." 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.

They make some of their own beer here and the recently appropriate 'debt and despair' which was on, was a lovely smokey dark pint...and for less than 2 pund 50 too! That such a pleasant looking (award winning apparently) pub, serving good beer on one of the barbican area's charming streets was emptier than the other pubs in the area was simply baffling to me. My favourite pub in devon! So far.
