| Super part of Devon and the pub is in a great spot, the pub it's self is very nice inside and the real ale and real cider in good condition, however, i think they may well cater for the those that have a few extra £50 notes in their wallets! i have been to central London recently, in and around the covent garden area and have drunk real ale for less than what i paid for the pint i had in here, we would've stayed for lunch if we hadn't have been put off by the extreme prices for drink, i paid £4.90 for a half of lemonade and a pint of Champion Ale, i am guessing that it was around the £3.50 mark for the pint which is very excessive in my book. It is a great shame, because i do think it is a great pub but one that i wouldn't return to again unless i had more money or they dropped their prices. Trouty - 4 May 2011 10:08 |
| Was there for their July beer festival; 12 guest ales and the three I tried were spot on. Very relaxing just to sit looking at the river. I think this would be a good winter pub too, I can imagine it being well cosy on a cold night. mousefan - 1 Aug 2010 10:16 |
| First encountered the Malsters in the early 90s when it was Keith Floyd's place. Since he went bust, it seems to have had its ups and downs - but on returning recently, we had a generally good experience. Quayside a lovely spot in the sun, the outdoor barmaid was pleasant and efficient and the Dartmoor well kept. Son was also able to wangle a sausage off them for crabbing bait, for a notional sum to the RNLI. We went to the nearby Waterman's afterwards, and that was awful - like bloody Butlins in comparison. grovetown - 18 Jun 2009 13:53 |
| One of the most idyllic settings for a pub you could find, and rather more sympathetically developed in recent years than The Watermans just up the road. If you can find it, you'll love it. Local ales (the selection changes regularly) and usually a local cider are available. The menu is often rather adventurous, perhaps even occasionally eccentric, but very rewarding, though a little pricey. If you venture down to the quay you may find barbecues, live music and a sort-of-beach-bar, but if they're not on then just soak up the tranquillity. Regarding previous comments, as an fairly regular visitor to The Maltsters, often with a child or two, over some fifteen years I can't say I've ever found the pub or its staff anything but extremely friendly and courteous.

| What a dissapointment, this pub has had such a fall from grace. My husband and I went for a meal there and from the minute we walked in we were shocked by the rudeness and appearence of the staff. We were ignored for a good ten minutes at the bar before a harrassed barmaid served us our drinks very sloppily. We were then presented with a truly bizzare menu with no base or direction and a wine list that seemed to favour quantity over quality. Our meal was slow to arrive and came burnt and our side dishes were forgotton, by the time they arrived we had practicly finished what we could manage to eat of what was frankly poorly made food and thoroghly overpriced. We intended to complain but when we saw the response the table next to us got when they did, we decided just to get out as soon as possible. This was because a rather butch looking lady in a kaftan was so rude to them she basicly threw them out, it was the most disguistind display of pub hospitality i've ever seen. Absolutely dreadful. anonymous - 31 Jul 2007 19:36 |
