I disagree with the previous comment. There is always a funny atmosphere in there, not aggressive as such, but just weird.
And the selection of beers on offer is pretty poor, I usually find myself drinking cider.

This pub is fast becoming my favourite in Saltash. There is no better experience than meeting your buddies down there on a warm summer's evening, taking a bench outside under the bridges, and reminiscing.
I love it.

Soon. Oh....soon.
Soon shall I sup upon a chilled beverage, maybe served up by Dave, the reprobate. I shall pause for a moment, to gaze upon the beauty of my surroundings and absorb the wonderful notion that I AM IN THE CECIL.
It shall be a sweet moment.
Peace.

I was in the Cecil just last week
And whilst there I did speak
To Bert I cried (he's the boss)
"Sir, please give me a Foss Foss!"
Upon his nasal hair I gazed
Its simple magnificence left me dazed
Some darts were played, in much splendour
Dave tried to hit me, missed, the bender
Drank more beer, many japes were had
I looked around and thought, 'not bad'
I love the place and the people therein
To never go would be a sin
So get yourself down to The Cecil, old boy
And fill your pint glass full of joy

theres the cecil, its so loved
it can be compared to heaven above
phils the god, he rings the bell
and theres young pete, he's the angel
colleen can play the virgin mary
but dave as jesus is awfully scary
stuie's there, a nice young chap
with his eyes upon the foss foss tap
the heavenly juice he'll soon chug
although he's targeted by a bug
the darts is soon, and oh, just think!
i'll soon be able to beat tryst - he stink
a merry time, hard to stay calm
for heaven is, the cecil arms

The Chav centre of Plymouth. Go to it if you want your head kicked in for 'looking at me funny, like'

Brilliant steak breakfasts, ideal for a late night out on the town. Fantastic place, bouncers are nobheads though.

Pennycomequick Hotel, Plymouth
Every time I've drank in here before a Plymouth Argyle game, we've won! WOOO! COME ON YOU GREENS!

The original Mayflower steps were where the pisser for this pub is now. You learn something new every day, eh!
Good atmostphere in there, very touristy though.

This pub would be so much better with a new owner. Fab location, good size, its just needs a new owner. If only Phil from the Cecil could take it under his wing, eh bert.

There once was a barman called Dave
With facial hair fashion to save
So he grew a little beard
Now looks awfully weird
But The Cecil Arms is still my fave!
I dedicate this work to Phil/Bert, especially his moustache. It's 22:25, surely Pete is telling Roy a paedophilic joke right about now between spells of winning money from the fruity.

Awful pub. Full of scallies who just want to kick your head in because they've spend all of their dole money on fags and booze. Stay well away, unless you want to get a 13 year old up the duff, because this pub offers much scope for that.

If God was a pub, he'd be The Cecil Arms.
Fosters is a splendid beer of choice.

Good food pub, good family atmosphere. Beer is cold, but can sometimes taste a little off.
Lovely atmosphere of a summers evening, I like this pub. Good place to take videos of when on a pub adventures night.

Good pool table, staff can be a bit weird though. Full of alcoholics though. Jukebox is rubbish.
Again, a pub to visit every now and again, The Two Bridges far outstrips it, and is just down the road.

Good place to start a pub crawl, very near the Boatman, The Waterside and the Two Bridges.
Quite dark in there, live music is always a bonus. Has Bud on tap, as well as Castlemaine. A nice pub to go to occasionally.

The ideal setting for Two Bridges Wednesday, an institution I miss when I'm not home.
Friendly staff, which is a bonus as they're often the only people to talk to of an afternoon in there.
In short, perfect for a quiet pint of an afternoon, livens up a bit in the evenings. A real locals place.

Recently reopened. I agree with the previous poster who said it is more of a restaurant.
Last time I was in there the chef was behind the bar, I had to show him how to pour Guiness.

This pub might be reguarly good if there was ever anyone in it. As it is, it is just a standard place for including in pub crawls, and for holding birthday parties at. Other than that, the phrase "within a million miles" comes to mind.

Let's hear it for the Cecil.
By far the best pub in Saltash, friendliest staff and regulars, best beer. Phil may have a bizzare tendency to put Chaz n' Dave on the Jukebox a bit too much though, but his pub is still a mecca for people in need of a quiet pint and good company. If I could choose one pub to live the rest of my days in, it'd be The Cecil Arms!

Back to phils_moustache's profile
The Cecil Arms, Saltash
It's an awful picture of a fine pub.
I've been putting the finishing touches on some lovely charcoal sketches of Phil and Dave, and I'm over the moon with my watercolour of Pete using the fruity.
I'll send them in pronto.
