"Fabulous on every level given the restricted space available under current pandemic rules.
Chris, Simon and the friendly locals make this a
delight to visit. Not enough of these authentic British
traditionals left.
Full marks for everything, and the beer selection - well you might
as well be in beer heaven !
We popped in on a one night stay in Brixham, Chris the
landlord was fabulous and put us at ease with the COVID guidance in
place. He was extremely knowledgeable and with table service
provided recommendations based on our likes and we both tried some
amazing ale and cider. Would definitely recommend to anyone
visiting Brixham
A great friendly pub
welcoming to us non locals. Varied local beers on cask and keg, and
a fantastic range of local ciders and gins. Good live music on
Wednesday nights. Dog friendly if you sit in the courtyard.

Here most nights on my stay in Brixham. A proper
traditional pub with the most amazing real beers. Mostly locals who
made us tourists very welcome. Their CoVid processes worked well
and table service was a bonus. Certainly worth a visit but if you
are staying near the harbour the walk home may be more of a roll as
the beers are all pretty string
If you like a proper pub with superbly kept ales, ciders and craft beer - this place is a MUST. And a brilliant landlord, Chris, who has done so much to keep the pub going during Covid. There are no frills here, just outstanding quality beers, a really warm welcome, in a wonderful traditional pub. In fact, one of the best pubs I've been in for well kept cask ale. The choice is constantly changing and during our three visits (during our three night stay) there were six different ales on offer. All superbly kept. Chris also organises a beer festival to raise money for charity. Brilliant pub, brilliant landlord!
Good luck to you in these difficult
times.

Fantastic range of real cider and ales at reasonable
prices. Friendly atmosphere.
Short walk from the harbour. Well worth the trip.
So pleased to find this pub. Everyone was friendly, the
beers and ciders were excellent and changed regularly. Will
definitely visit again.

stayed in Brixham again and headed straight here. Chris
is a friendly and welcoming landlord with a great range of beers (
excellent mena dhu). Great pub.

This place is well worth the climb up the hill . Great
pint of mena dhu served by a very friendly landlord. If we are ever
in Brixham again we'll be back.

We were spending a week in Brixam, and 200m from our
cottage was this fantastic pub! Walking through the door the rugby
was on a large television, The regulars were very friendly and
helpful. Landlord and staff were very friendly. Quite a few
different ciders and other ales were on tap. They do a Sunday lunch
which was very good and you had to book as it was packed on the
day. We visited the pub every day for rest if our stay. Will
definitely recommend the establishment and will be visiting
again
I love this pub, it keeps me coming back, friendly
locals, great beer, great food on a Monday, such a friendly pub, I
cannot recommend it enough, cannot wait until Christmas when we
come back.
We went in here for a quick lunch time beer. The staff
were lovely and the locals chatty.
Very nice. We will return.

Slight walk out of the centre and uphill for this traditional pub with a great selection of real ales. Relaxed atmosphere and worth a visit if you want to taste (and support) local producers.
Popped in here because we mistakenly thought there was live music on. There wasn't. But it didn't matter. Beer was cheap but very tasty. Staff and customers were welcoming and friendly and we felt totally at home. Such a shame we're going home tomorrow as we could easily have made this our local for the time we were here. Just sorry we didn't happen upon it before. Please come home with us

We’ve recently relocated to Brixham (one of a growing
band we’ve come to realise) and ‘discovered’ this pub after seeing
a tweet about the open mic night. As it happens we’ve yet to make
that night on a Wednesday but we’ve been on other nights and such
is our pleasure at finding this really well run pub by a proper
landlord that I’ve had to open a Trip Advisor account to sing it’s
praises. The beer is great, landlord knows his onions. People are
friendly, I can’t ever imagine seeing yobs in this pub. We’ve eaten
there on a Monday and that was good. And probably best of all it’s
dog free which is a bonus for us as we’re sick of going to pubs
with that dog smell and with dogs sniffing around you which you’re
expected to make a fuss of! Not for us thanks.
We’ve been going to pubs for years - take our word for it, this is
a good pub! Easily the best in town and before anybody asks, No, I
don’t have shares in it!
Good Selection of beers for a Camera pub music most
evenings and open mic a couple of these well worth a
visit

A good pub with friendly staff where you find lots of
locals would recommend this pub for a good night
out.

This is a "real" pub and if you are in the town it
really is worth the short walk. Wherever I go I look out for decent
pubs where you can drink well kept beer in a pleasant and welcoming
environment and I am pleased that this is one of those places.
Service is friendly the bar is comfortable and the beer is great.
The walk up from town also makes you feel as if you have earned
your pint when you get there. The fact that no dogs are allowed in
the bar is a major plus point particularly in terms of hygiene (the
pub was immaculate) and being left alone and not a sudden object of
interest when food is about. Credit to the landlord/landlady for
that policy.

Visited from a nearby bed and breakfast on their
recommendation. Friendly welcome and great variety of real ale.
Worth the walk up from the harbour and a more local
clientele.
Unfortunately having just paid for a cab from the
harbour to this pub we were told on entering, by one of the locals
with a smirk on his face that we would have to go out the back as
dogs were not allowed in the bar!
This was then confirmed by the person serving behind the Bar. This
seems to be the only pub in the town with this rule. This fare
enough its after all their pub, but it would be nice to be told
clearly on their website, it would have saved the price of the cab,
us embarrassment, and pleasure to one of the locals.

A traditional back street corner pub with excellent beers, pleasant staff, nice meals, good music, weekday activities, friendly company, great community spirit. Come and sample some award winning cask ales and real cider. Enjoy a Saturday night band. You’ll love it.
