| The Boringdon Arms is a proper pub - not a restuarant that sells beer. There is a wood burner, a darts board and a traditional atmosphere. The landlord is lovely and always remembers my name. Fish and chips out of this world and hardly fits on the plate! splodgy - 26 Jan 2011 21:02 |
| Avoid at all costs! I visited this pub for the first (and last) time last weekend. We arrived to find that our table 'in the conservatory', was actually a cheap set of plastic garden furniture in an area that's basically no more than a lean-to with a corrugated plastic roof. Wouldn't have been so bad if said roof was sound but it actually leaked constantly. The menu is basic, which is fine, and the food was no more than adequate. Averagely kept beer, (you will find better at the Blue Peter in Plymstock). We did encounter the landlord during our visit, who for some reason likes to grab people's shoulders whilst talking to them - he did it to my mother and my father-in-law, so if you don't like your personal space invaded then avoid the guy! All in all it was a damp night, in surroundings that could do with a damn good clean, with forgettable food and beer. My advice - if you're in Turnchapel go to the Clovelly Bay Inn just down the road - the Boringdon couldn't hold a candle to it (we only went to the Boringdon to try it because the Clovelly was fully booked - will never, ever go back!) sarahandglyn - 10 Dec 2009 16:49 |
| I stayed overnight here with my wife and two small children on the way back from a holiday in France and we were treated superbly. Even though we arrived after the advertised end of evening meals, I was able to choose from the whole menu. I went for the fish and chips and it was enormous, hot and very tasty. As it was late, my wife took our childen to bed and they even brought the food upstairs on a tray for us. Washed down with some very nice real ale, I would highly recommend this pub for the quality of its beer and food and friendly welcome for all ages. Oh, and the breakfast the next morning was also delicious! RealAleHarrier - 25 Jun 2009 11:30 |
| Excellant place. Had a lovely pint of Doom Bar and a one of the biggest and best portions of Fish in Beer Batter and chips I have ever had. Nice old pub with nice garden (with some little extras). 6 ales, 5 local and a very friendly cat. Well worth a visit. trains2064 - 26 Mar 2009 10:22 |
| Good pub, good beer, good food, good location. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area or doing the S coast path. Does reasonably-priced B&B too. newbury_drinker - 22 Mar 2009 18:03 |
