Popular Ex-Wetherspoon’s pub with a well-deserved reputation for its extensive range of fine quality hand-pumped real ales and ciders, boasting up to 12 handpumps. The décor is traditional, wood clad with various alcoves, and a covered/heated smoker’s patio to the rear. The theme is around Isaac Merritt Singer, the inventor of the Singer Sewing Machine, it also boasts many interesting pictures distributed around the building including some vintage shots of its hometown – Paignton. The pub is situated towards the edge of town, only minutes from the train/bus stations and is family-friendly. It’s disabled-friendly for both access and the toilets with free Wi-Fi.

The property was purchased by the Crafty Pub Group in June 2022
