| Great setting but the quite possibly the worst pub I have ever visited. Half of pub given over to hotel guests only. On day of my visit the bar was manned by only 1 person (who had seemingly just got off the bus form Warsaw and spoke no English). No fizzy drinks available and an irate family who had booked food but were told none availble after all. Basically I got the feeling that the owners would rather that the average punter was not there at all and that the pub could be given over entirely to the hotel johnljj - 29 Oct 2008 16:26 |
| Terrific pub in a unique setting. Surprised the rating is only 6.5 although some people are perhaps understandably annoyed by the ruling that half the pub is for residents of the Burgh Island hotel only. However it is a great old building, nice service the day we visited and the "Pilchard Ale" was very good. Tigerdrinker - 22 Aug 2008 09:13 |
| This pub did have a change of wonership a few years ago (1999?) and was not as good asi t used to be but it is now back on track as a homeLy and unique pub -well worth the experience. hadleigh17 - 19 Aug 2008 22:51 |
| You cannot beat this place for location, on a summers day outside its brilliant, and a proper traditional pub, just make sure you don't miss the last tractor back to the main land! nicnocs1 - 24 Jul 2008 09:13 |
| Walked over and popped in for a pint, walked up the hill and back back then popped in for a few more. Very busy, good beer and plenty of charecter bigboy69 - 6 Oct 2007 17:25 |
