| Never a very inspiring venue from it's early Courage days in the 70's, when it catered almost exclusively for coach parties. Nothing has altered my views on the place much, except that with internal modifications it is now even less characterful than before - unless you happen to like wide open spaces. Unfortunately it would seem that not many do and at 10 pm last Saturday night there were no more than half a dozen souls in the place. With plenty of shiny chrome handpulls adorning the bar (apparently just for show), I was keen to try a drop of the "Great Beer" as described by our previous correspondent but sadly, none was to be had. Advertising itself nowadays as a "Free House", this statement is only true insofar as it is quite "free" of any ale worth drinking. coulsdoncrawler - 6 Nov 2007 23:02 |

| Went to this in September for the first time in a couple of years. A complete change - and a good one in my opinion. In the old days it was tacky, dark and dirty with indifferent bar staff. The only thing good then was the occasional, talented tribute band. It's now been reclaimed as a family pub and is very clean, bright and cheerful. Had an excellent carvery served by very friendly staff and then stayed-on for a few beers. Beer was a bit pricey, but the food was fantastic value for money. A vast improvement. Next time I'm in Paignton will certainly go again. Jubjub - 12 Oct 2006 08:25 |
| This WAS a great pub with regular live music and comedy, but is now, sadly, another tacky bar/restaurant. What a shame. JH85 - 19 Jun 2006 19:24 |
