Railway Inn, Upper Killay

Having driven passed this pub for literally decades I decided to drop-in. The half dozen people there looked at me as if I was English [or even worse ... American!], 1-0 to the locals. The lighting resembled something from M & S, 2-0 to the locals, barman [maybe the landlord] looked like he'd just got out of bed and actually had to serve someone he didn't know, 3-0 to the locals, I ordered my beer using an English accent [own goal!], 4-0 to the locals. The local brew whatever it was tasted good, 4-1. Left after 1 pint, final score 4-1. I decided to forfeit the 2nd leg and vow to drive passed the front door for several more decades. Who knows, they may have even served food?

The Ship Inn, Teignmouth

I asked a Teignmouthian where's the best pub and was directed to The Ship Inn. She was right.

Friendly staff and landlord, intersting mix of locals and the tourists. For cider drinkers the Stonehouse is a must.
