The Cecil Arms, Saltash

This pub should be re named the CHAV ARMS. What a fall from grace ! Go in and play spot the local, you will be hard pressed to find anyone in there who lives near the pub(graham excepted). Full of filthy builders after work. The Old Bill should take note and bring a breath test kit! The smokers that hang around both doors really do put you off going in, and only serve to lower the image even futher. 3rd rate bands fri, sat eves and sunday TEATIME stop us going in for that quiet drink at the weekend (why sunday teatime?? ) Now the refurb has made the place look even cheaper with tacky, tasteless PVC windows and doors. The once proud jewel in the crown of Saltash pubs now looks and feels like something from the set of "Shameless" Landlord, ask yourself what has happened to all the good pleasant folk who used to drink there? where are your "locals" ? The Cecil Arms was once the haunt of the affluent, upstanding members of St Stephens and Saltash, Mayors, ex mayors, councillors, JPs, Policemen, Doctors,chemists et al, where are they now??
