A real traditional pub with separate lounge and public bars dating back to the early 1600’s when the sea was on its doorstep and it was opposite to a fish market hence address of fisher street. It is also documented that the Roundhead General Fairfax stayed at the inn prior to a civil war battle in Exeter. A warming welcome awaiting all who visit from locals, staff, landlord and landlady, including benefits for CAMRA members. A mainly rugby supported pub amongst other sports, it also has regular live music, mainly Northern Soul and time is called via a ships bell recovered by a local diver from an old wreck.
