Mid 17th century hostelry with additional Victorian features added in the late 19th century. One of Plymouth's oldest pubs and is close to the redevelopment of the Bretonside bus station complex. The pub had a total refurbishment and reopened in mid 2017. One live beer, usually Sharp's Doom Bar, is served here.
