| A bit of a disappointed this place was if I'm honest. We left the Clovelly bay pub just down the road which oddly shuts at 3 o'clock on a busy Saturday afternoon only to find the Boringdon Arms just down the road on a superb elevated terrace position in the charming village of Turnchapel. However once inside it was an imeadiate disappointment as the place had no atmosphere whatsoever and we were the only people in here the whole time. Everyone must avoid this pub for some reason and not sure why it wasn't expensive and although a little dull inside I have been in a lot worse. A strange place..... 5/10 montie49 - 11 Jan 2016 18:04 |
| Used to be a fantastic pub until punch taverns bought it and invoked beer ties. Landlord has probably lost the will to live RedReg - 30 May 2013 23:05 |
| The Boringdon Arms is a proper pub - not a restuarant that sells beer. There is a wood burner, a darts board and a traditional atmosphere. The landlord is lovely and always remembers my name. Fish and chips out of this world and hardly fits on the plate! splodgy - 26 Jan 2011 21:02 |
| Avoid at all costs! I visited this pub for the first (and last) time last weekend. We arrived to find that our table 'in the conservatory', was actually a cheap set of plastic garden furniture in an area that's basically no more than a lean-to with a corrugated plastic roof. Wouldn't have been so bad if said roof was sound but it actually leaked constantly. The menu is basic, which is fine, and the food was no more than adequate. Averagely kept beer, (you will find better at the Blue Peter in Plymstock). We did encounter the landlord during our visit, who for some reason likes to grab people's shoulders whilst talking to them - he did it to my mother and my father-in-law, so if you don't like your personal space invaded then avoid the guy! All in all it was a damp night, in surroundings that could do with a damn good clean, with forgettable food and beer. My advice - if you're in Turnchapel go to the Clovelly Bay Inn just down the road - the Boringdon couldn't hold a candle to it (we only went to the Boringdon to try it because the Clovelly was fully booked - will never, ever go back!) sarahandglyn - 10 Dec 2009 16:49 |
| I stayed overnight here with my wife and two small children on the way back from a holiday in France and we were treated superbly. Even though we arrived after the advertised end of evening meals, I was able to choose from the whole menu. I went for the fish and chips and it was enormous, hot and very tasty. As it was late, my wife took our childen to bed and they even brought the food upstairs on a tray for us. Washed down with some very nice real ale, I would highly recommend this pub for the quality of its beer and food and friendly welcome for all ages. Oh, and the breakfast the next morning was also delicious! RealAleHarrier - 25 Jun 2009 11:30 |
