Situated in the nautical town of Dartmouth, a town famous for its medieval buildings, the Cherub is one of the best and the oldest, a Grade II listed 14th century former merchant’s house. The bar has many original features with beams made from old ships timbers which boasts six handpumps serving local and national cask ales. An intricate winding staircase leads to the cosy restaurant and facilities on the two upper floors.

May open later in winter.
