| Cracking Spingo & Black Sheep and Skinners and Sharps and well the list goes on. If the pint isn't nice they will change it - just ask rather than scowl in a corner sulking. It heaves on Saturday nights with short-sleeved "buys" and crusty locals tolerating each other but I have honestly not witnessed an issue in the 15 years I have spent in it. Please please get the toilets sorted out - detergent and bleach are normally on offer at Wilkinsons so no excuse. I resorted to nipping into the KFC to use theirs - now that is bad! But, the Sunday roast is bang on as is the beer and the majority of the locals... paulio1966 - 8 Jun 2008 22:28 |
| I'd heard this place described on more than once occasion as 'good old-fashioned'. Perhaps 'plain shoddy' comes closer. Creaking floorboards, diffident staff, unfunny and slightly unsettling "life and soul of the place" regulars, poorly kept ale. If this is the spirit of the tavern made flesh, you can keep it getsit - 17 Mar 2008 22:52 |
| When you visit this pub make sure you ask for a pint of Spingbite and black. Spingo is on from a Sunday until the barrel (or sometimes two barrels) run out - mix it with cider and black!! penyw231 - 15 Jan 2007 17:51 |
| My review meant to say the Hyde Park, not the Mutley Plain where both the Fortescue and the Hyde Park are! It was a blonde moment, I apologise, and I'm a brunette;) J1985 - 16 May 2006 19:43 |
| The Fortescue is my favourite pub on the Plain. There is normally a good selection of ales, and on Sunday Spingo if you can dare to try it. I also like the Mutley Plain, but find this pub just edges it in my estimations(there is a huge rivalry cricket team wise between the 'Fort' and the Mutley Plain) because of the greater ale selection. There is also a good quiz on Sunday nights, and a surprisingly good jukebox too. J1985 - 16 May 2006 19:41 |
