Probably the most least traditional pub in the Cawsand and Kingsand area.
Nice place to eat I would imagine, we just had a quick one here before moving on.
7/10

Good ales on tap, sampled the Doom Bar and a tasty Sharps seasonal Autumn Red, both very good and a friendly landlord behind the bar. Great starter of whitebait at the bar, followed with excellent fish and chips.
A mixed crowd of locals and people eating with a friendly feel, at least three large dogs in there too (brought by punters not the landlord's!). Nice cosy feel, and two large wood burning stoves, which would make for a nice place to dry out in winter. Everything a local seaside pub should be.

The Skinner's Betty Stoggs was very good here, but the pub lacks atmosphere and the food wasn't great (fish pie was watery, and oddly served with roast parsnips). Avoid the lonely and old fashioned dining room and eat in the bar if you must.

Returned this year and can confirm that the menu IS good - the scallops were a real treat as was the Doom Bar I washed them down with. When I'm old I want to be one of the locals on the bar stools musing upon life. These two villages are really blessed for pubs!!

Last pub on the Black Prince procession route so I had to give it a go. Would you believe that two of the beers were more local to my home than here!! Stiil everyone seemed happy enough and I haven't had a pint of Gales HSB in a long time so no real complaints. Don't know about the food but the menu looked good.

Not the best of experiences. The pub tends to be quiet compared to others in the village. This summer the ceiling was covered in flies which was fairly off-putting. We had food in the restaurant area which was nice when it arrived but the service was pretty slow.

The pub has a restaurant which serves good food, particularly fish dishes.
As far as I can remember there are a range of real ales and one cider(last time I was there it was Weston's Old Rosie-not one to be drunk lightly!).
