| now serving Cornish Rattler cloudy cyder! 6% abv!!!! Watch out! Also the Maurice does serve lunch Monday-Friday 1230-1430 last orders for lunch usually about 1415. Mainly baguettes, sarnies, pasties etc, great baguettes mind you! Worth a look. Ale is still good, and they still do Thatchers Cheddar Valley Cider (scrumpy) you have to ask for it as it is kept in the cellar, lovely stuff! turnover of Real Ale still at a premium, selling Courage Best, Sharp's Doom Bar, Summerskills Best, Jaile Ale, O'Hanlons Royal Oak and St Austell HSD as regulars and usually 1 ever changing guest Ale which will vairy depending on Season.

| Still a great pub, now serving princetown Jail Ale instead of Adnams Broadside. Unfortunately the Broadside had gone down hill and no matter what the staff did it just wasn't right! Good to see another local ale on though, it sits alongside, Doom Bar, Summerskills Best, St Austell HSD and O'Hanlons Royal Oak! There are rumours that the Landlord and Landlady are leaving, i wonder if this is true, i think most that are in the pub trade come under these rumours occasionally but if it is true then the locals certainly hope that whoever comes in will be from the area and no the clientele and keep the standard of the beer at a premium! This is still the best pub in the area and i hope it stays that way! Trouty - 19 Jun 2008 16:01 |
| Been a regular at this pub since i was 14 when my dad used to take me in after ringing the Bells in the nearby church on a Tuesday evening or after weddings on a Saturday. A real gem to most, as it is the only real "country Pub" in terms of look and atmosphere on the Moorside of Plymouth, when i say moorside i mean the Dartmoor side of Plymouth to those who aren't from this area. Friendly locals that welcome visitors, look out for those spontaneous sing songs that happen after the lads return from watching Argyle or Plymouth Albion! The real Ale is top quality and Rick now serves O'hanlons Royal Oak as a regular which replaced Old Speckled hen due to it being reduced in strength! I for one am well happy with that! There are other good pubs in Plymouth such as the Minerva on Looe St which is said to be the oldest Pub and others on the Barbican, but the "Maurice" is one pub that you'll return to time and time again.

| While on holiday in Torquay .I visited The Prince Maurice in Eggbuckland to try to trace the history of the village . I was lodging in the village during the bombing in 1940ish Being a child of 5 years old I was trying to bring back the memory of being there with my mother and dad during this period . The landlady of the pub was very nice and she did all she could to help . I took a copy of the pics. in the pub and she went upstairs to look around for anything that would help. I spoke to a couple of men in the bar and found that they were very friendly. I rate this little incident as being very sociable and will certainly visit agan if I am in the area . gordy - 24 Jun 2006 09:44 |
| I can't really add any more to the previous reviews - this really is the best pub in Plymouth, a "country pub" atmosphere within (fairly) easy reach of the city centre. Numerous well-deserved CAMRA awards, friendly locals, good if limited selection of pub food at lunchtime (with the emphasis on PUB food...ie the traditional offerings, definitely not a gastro-pub!). There are a few tables outside if you have children with you with a pleasant outlook. And on the first Thursday of (nearly) every month there is a good-natured, well-attended pub quiz - but get there early if you want to take part because this is a SMALL pub and you may end up standing all night otherwise...not a good idea with all those fantastic real ales on offer!
