The Cherub Inn, Dartmouth

I visited this pub twice, once in Sept 2010 and now in Jan 2011, and this pub has maintained it high standards. There were 4 ales on offer, DOOMBAR, OTTER ALE, OTTER BEST and PROPER JOB. I'm not one for the weaker ales, so tried, PROPER JOB, 4.5%, which is a lovely ale. The staff and manager are very nice, always open for a chat, 'locals' also happy to chat to the 'outsiders'. The food is of a high standard and reasonably priced. The pub is old and it shows, but that is the charm of this pub. Don't have too much too drink if you want to use the toilets, the stairs to the toilets can be difficult. NICE PUB.

Steam Packet Inn, Kingswear

This is a small quaint pub, with 3/4 local ales and several lagers on offer. The staff are pleasant and helpful, and when its wet and cold, the open fire was a welcome relief. Not overly expensive for an ale and a glass of wine. There appeared to be more 'locals' in this pub than the other 2 for a lunchtime. All in all, this is a nice pub.

The Ship Inn, Kingswear

This is a nice pub, the way they should be..diligent staff, good, varied range beers on offer, and the beer well maintained. OTTER ALE very nice on this occasion. There are numerous nautical references within the pub as expected. The loos are outside, literally, which is a novelty these days. In my opinion, this is the best pub in the village.
Beware of the ginger cat, it will make itself very comfortable on you if allowed to.
