We went for the first time under new ownership last night and had a great time. The welcome was really warm and there was a nice atmosphere. We sat outside to the rear and ordered some food which was delicious. The service from the team and Luke was really good and friendly. Well done team we will back.

Myself, partner and baby stumbled across this lovely little gen after getting the ferry from Exmouth to Starcross. Lovely gentleman and lady behind the bar, really friendly and welcoming. I was a little hungry but couldn't decide what to get, the man suggested some chips. And they wer bloody lovely! Asked for a little spicy side dip and the lady said dont worry ill russle somthing up for you. Dip was amazing! So glad we found this pub, will definitely be back!
