Mannamead, Plymouthback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Don't think the layout of this place helps. As you go in, you are met by a huge pillar in the centre that goes back the length of almost half the pub. Seating down either side, but they feel like being plonked in a corridor.
Bar is on the right-hand side as you go in, but easily missed.
Large seating area at the back, and even some on the decking out back, but to agree with previous posters, felt very devoid of atmosphere.
Staff were friendly, so disagree with previous posters on that point.
As for the all-important booze, there were a number of ales on including Jail Ale, from Dartmoor (£2.45) and the Pilgrim which I had from the Plymouth Beer Company. That was £1.49 with 50p off due to a CAMRA voucher.
Tasted decent enough, so no complaints in that regard, but with the Fortescue just down the road offering excellent, very well kept beer, and also accepting CAMRA vouchers, were I to find myself drinking on Mutley Plain again, that's where I would head.

All the affability and ambiance of a sink-estate jobcentre.

A right boozer for a wetherspoons pub full of young lads and alcoholic old men. Mind you want more do you want from a pub? 7/10

Sampled one of the local guest ales but the quality and temperature were not good and with the Fortescue just down the road I have no plans to return.
|
You mean there's a Wetherspoons out there with food cooked through, real Real ale, and affable clued-in bar-staff?
There really is you know. Top stuff
|
This pub might have cheap drinks but the lack of atmospere and incredible rude bar staff make it one to avoid!
|
Good selection of real ales and bottled beers.
Bit of an airport loungue feeling to the back half of the pub.
Unless you like hanging around in groups of stroppy blokes getting pissed, avoid on saturdays.
