This Pub is Closed Long Term

An atmospheric pub located in a hidden location close to the marina popular with tourists & locals. The low beamed quirky interior boasts a large restaurant serving a variety of foods for all tastes. The narrow passageway with seating and adorned with flowers provides a perfect location for an al fresco drinking area. Reputed to be Torquay’s oldest pub, around 1540, the pub is a real haven for real ale drinkers.
