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.
