Recommended this place when we first arrived in Torquay. We had fish and chips very nice and a local real ale. They do a special lunch menu.Very interesting and quirky place with home style cooking. A bit quiet in the afternoon we went in but it was a Monday.
This is without doubt one of the best places to eat in Torquay. This is our third visit. The staff are brilliant, the food is very, very good and the atmosphere is great. It's Torquay's oldest pub with a great selection of beers. If you come to Torquay, you must, without any hesitation, pay a visit. You will NOT be disappointed.
On hols and looked for traditional pub for food. What a find ! Beautiful ,historic building. Fabulous food , the best homemade burgers I've ever tasted!. Friendly locals & fellow holiday makers and live music. Great atmosphere , really enjoyed . Fab place

Outstanding sanctuary in a town that is deffo pretty in places but definitely can ‘seem’ full of weatherspoons and seemingly people desperately seeking sky sports and the cheapest pint of carling black label - but this perfect little gem of a place, fantastic food, great ale, live music - it’s like the front door leads you into a different world/time.. Deffo recommended it here - I cannot stress this highly enough - it’s a perfect solid ‘100 out of 5’
Great selection of ales. Try the jail ale.
Follow your Google maps, the place is set a little way back from the road and is easily missable but it’s so worth finding.. we spent 2 nights here the first was a live music, chatting to locals and 7 pint of ale type of night - it was so much fun; the second night we had the most beautiful trio of fresh fish meal in the restaurant - so light, tasty, fresh - stunningly delightful. I could have eaten the meal twice!
The pub it’s self is ancient / steeped in history / low beamed ceilings. Did I say… try the jail ale.
Absolutely stunning - I cannot stress enough ‘if you come to Torquay’ - you simply cannot miss this place !!!
I WAS told about this place and he was right,
The food is up to high standards. The beer just taste just like old way of doing it is good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A good atmosphere. This pub is great its like going in time. To find it up a little street by the roundabout by the harbour, We decided to go there for 50th wedding anniversary.
YOU SHOULD GO THERE it good.
Thank you from Graham and Valerie.
We only stopped for a drink but it had such a lovely atmosphere and the service was brilliant , bright and friendly staff. Really interesting decor and kids were also allowed to sit in even if they were not having a meal .
What a fantastic welcome from the staff this is how pubs should be. Great selection of beers and ciders, wish we had found this place earlier on our visit to Torquay.
We frequently visit Torquay and have been here a few times after a friend recommended it to us. We recently visited after COVID and it was amazing. The food and service hasn't changed. Everything was amazing and food is full of flavour
. We will be back next time!
