Now well and truly back to its former disgusting self....cask ale now removed due to lack of interest, but who needs it when you can shovel gallons of fosters down your throat.

Best selection of well kept and served cask ales in Brixham, full stop. A little off the beaten track but only about 15 minutes walk from the centre, a proper pub with some good music on at weekends, bad point, the pub sound system sounds crap!

Now called pearsons some decent ales usually on at a decent price, TV screens on every wall and a sound system that is so bad it's like having nails driven in your ears.

Now a flaming grill emporium, small selection of cask ales, from black edge brewery on our visit, don't go in very often as it's usually full of chavs and prams.
17 Jul 2018 16:42
Now under new ownership, most of the cask ale gone and prices raised dramatically, don't see many people there for some reason.
16 Jul 2018 16:44
Usually a decent selection of well kept cask ales at around £2-20 a pint, not a place I would spend all evening but great for a couple of pints and some decent cheap food

Great market place micro pub has won some camra awards, good ever changing range of cask and bottled ales, should be more places like this.
16 Jul 2018 15:49
Large TV screens all over the walls, vicious looking loudspeakers and posters saying karaoke 3 nights a week and vinagary tasting ale to complete the experience, a must to visit.
16 Jul 2018 15:43
Now another ex pub, converting to flats I believe, another piss only pub bites the dust.
16 Jul 2018 11:30
Recently refurbished and did have 3 cask ales on from moorhouses, went in a few weeks ago and rapidly decending back to it's former glory and closed down the day after, think it's reopened now, hard to tell....
16 Jul 2018 11:25
Still a good selection of well kept ales, pub is now music themed but apart from a generally dismal open mike on Sundays no music is played in the week despite having stereo capability and real high fidelity sound available in all rooms.
15 Jul 2018 21:06
Superb renovation of this previously fizz only pub, six hand pumps and a great selection of ales always on offer.
15 Jul 2018 20:52
Finest free house in Chorley, 9 hand pumps serving a great selection of superbly kept ales, live music most Sundays and a eclectic mix of music on the sound system, a must to visit if you're in Chorley.

Called in to see if the beer had improved since our last visit,ordered 2 halfs of ipa that was so bad that drinking it would possibly have made you ill, was going to order some food but if they can't look after the beer no way am i eating anything there

Great cask ale pub,six hand pumps good selection of ales in great condition from £2 a pint we tried crossbay sunset at £2-40 and a discount for camra members.
Good to see another real ale pub in Morecambe as not too long ago it was a beer desert.
29 Jun 2015 21:21
Being demolished as I write this, another chorley pub gone forever.

Cask ale £3-80 a pint lager almost £4 don't see many people going in just for a drink.
Good to see this pub is doing its bit to curb alcoholism
18 Aug 2014 21:53
I have to agree with the last posting this is the most characterful pub in Brixham and if you don't drink the cask ale you can have an enjoyable hour here. Unfortunately I and many more drink ale and it has been like paint stripper for at least 5 years at the least. Shame, good ale would make this pub the best in Torbay

Royal Seven Stars Hotel, Totnes
We called in here on 5-8-14 but came out without buying a drink, checked the cask ale prices which you need a magnifying glass to read £ 3.85 a pint the most expensive ale I've ever seen, little wonder pubs are closing with greed like this
6 Aug 2014 18:50
Grat pub, friendly staff and most importantly good cask ales,
quite expensive £3.40 a pint but a bit less than most pubs in Brixham.
4 Aug 2014 18:36
Good atmosphere but very poor cask ale, doombar stale and tired and the devon coast even worse, had to leave and try one in the blue anchor which was superb.
When you are being charged £3.60 a pint it's got to be perfect,
I don't know how these pubs stay open during the winter months.

Went to visit this pub with a view to staying for a few days, however after driving over 80 miles and ordering a pint of landlord I found the price was a breathtaking £ 3.80, even the guy that served me said it was 'out of order', decided to give it a miss, otherwise is a nice pub.
13 Jul 2014 20:32
Not been in here for a couple of years, called in last week and ordered a pint of greene king ipa at � 3.00,had a hint of vinegar with it and was served in a sticky fosters glass.
Not tried the food yet, don't think i will.
19 Jun 2012 23:31
Called in after a walk to Malham cove, �3.15 for a pint of Timothy taylors golden best mild just above freezing, the stench in the toilets made it difficult to breath.
Keep this in mind if you are thinking of ordering a vastly overpriced meal from this place.

Superb pub with the usual marstons cask ales in great condition.
A real ale festival has been held at the rear of the pub for the last two years from 24-27 June with free admission and over 40 ales on offer, unlike the top lock at wheelton where you will pay about �8 before you buy a drink. Keep it up, the best festival i've been to in years.
5 Jul 2010 23:50
If you like fizzy drinks and your hobbies include mindless violence give this pub a visit.
23 May 2010 00:07
I know how doffcocker should taste and it should not taste like it has been filtered through a tramps underwear. If a pub sells cask ales they should know how to clean the lines and not try to sell ale past its sell by date.
This place should not be in the good beer guide.
20 Apr 2010 00:21
Probably the most expensive pub in the western world, �3.05 for a pint of Lancaster blonde, have to say though it was superb.
Food a little expensive just under nine quid for a burger.
Well it must keep the pond life out.
18 Apr 2010 21:42
I'm sure boltonbloke was in the potters, I called in on 11-3-10 and ordered a pint of doffcocker which must have been sat in the pipe for days and tasted like vinegar.
Won't be going in again after several substandard pints over the last year.
Trottertotheend must drink keg or have no taste buds

Now fully open and back to normal, walked past two weeks ago two police vans and two patrol cars breaking a fight up which had spread into the road.
Last week walked past just one police van parked outside, draging someone out, not been in to sample the ale.
30 Dec 2009 00:04
First time I have paid three quid for a pint of doombar in a pub that should be called THE COLD COMFORT ARMS.Why not visit the castle on fore street,better selection of cask ales,over twenty pence a pint less and service with a smile.
22 Sep 2009 01:00
Great none microwave food,good selection of cask ales in good condition, jennings and banks on our visit.
Well worth a visit
3 Sep 2009 21:58
Called in here one saturday night,not been in for a couple of years,thought i was at a parents evening at albany high school.
Almost everyone was under age,some i know were thirteen years old,most were off their faces,the only person who looked about thirty was some slapper doing a strip on a table.Its unbelievable that any bar staff would serve these children when chorley police station is across the road.
26 Aug 2009 00:00
Reopened a few months ago,had a great beer festival in a marquee at the rear of the pub.
Always some decent cask ale on offer,well worth a visit.
15 Aug 2009 00:35
Have to agree with manstien,trying to get to the bar when there are people sat there spouting crap and refusing to move.
Otherwise great pub.
13 Aug 2009 00:09
True free house,but the cask ale can be hit and miss.
I have not been in for a couple of months as I had a few sub standard pints.
Best bet is to look what other people are drinking and buy that.
If your drink is smooth/fizzy/nitrokeg ignore all above statements.
12 Aug 2009 23:25
Still closed,looks like it may be opening again any time now, dont expect any real ale.
Might be a good idea to book your fight in advance.
7 Aug 2009 00:40
Got to agree with last posting.Called in 3-5-09,what a change from two years ago when we were last here,great cask ale(BAY BREWERY) great music and great staff,a must to visit if you visit Brixham.
8 May 2009 00:22
Once the best ale for miles,then went downhill when beartown bought it.
Called in on saturday night,great selection of ale all in good condition,a must to visit if you are in chorley.
25 Mar 2009 21:40
NOW CLOSED.Dont expect it to open again as a pub,hope i am wrong.
16 Feb 2009 23:40
Called in on a sunday afternoon.A large dismal pub with only keg beer,walked back out.
16 Feb 2009 22:02
Now called THE BLOB SHOP.
Walked in one evening,most people drunk,only fizzy/nitrokeg drinks,walked back out.
10 Feb 2009 19:57
Have to agree with boltonbloke on a few points.
Dragged to this pub by my wife for a northern soul night.
the disco had the sound of a 1970s amstrad rack system,but the Thwaites cask ale was exellent.
Called in again a few weeks later on a rock and blues night,good music and the ale in great condition.
5 Feb 2009 23:50
Cask ale not to good on my visit (summer08) must have been sitting in the pipes for quite a while,shame as it is a nice pub
31 Jan 2009 00:04
Last time we visited this pub (summer 08) there was a good selection of well kept cask ales,probably the best in brixham,and the usual wetherspoons food.
Well worth a visit.
30 Jan 2009 23:54
Have been trying to visit this pub since 1977,managed it last summer.
One of the best pubs i have been in,superb pub brewed spingo ales,great staff and locals,everything a pub should be.
Only problem i was driving,next time we will get b+b in Helston
25 Jan 2009 21:14
Had the misfortune to deliver some alcopops to this place,almost got hit by the landlord because the company had sent the wrong brand of piss.
In all my drinking life this is one of the worst pubs i have entered.
24 Jan 2009 13:06
Had to deliver some spirits to this dive and collect the money,didnt think i would get out alive.
Never seen so much pond life in such a small place.
cant imagine why anyone who values there safety would visit this place.
23 Jan 2009 19:54
Visited this pub three or four times mid week when i was working in paddington,the cask ale was very good,and the staff were great,good prices for london.
11 Jan 2009 23:39
The Briton's Protection Hotel, Castlefield
Discovered this pub when we came out of the motorcycle show.
Six cask ales in great condition, good service, a bit pricey �2.80 a pint.
11 Jan 2009 20:18
Now selling Banktop ales in great condition ,friendly staff ,nice pub.
Well worth a visit
9 Jan 2009 19:41
Reopened selling overpriced fizz.
Has about as much character as KFC
9 Jan 2009 16:59
Used to have good selection of well kept cask ale and some good bands.
Change of owner/tennant cask ale removed,now most its customers have left,clever move !
9 Jan 2009 16:50
Possibly the best kept cask ales in chorley.
Jenning ales and two or three guest ales,vast selection of single malt whisky
6 Jan 2009 21:29
The Globe, Brixham
Now named The old coaching inn, a superb transformation, l love brixham but the cask ale in most pubs leaves a lot to be desired.
Not here a good selection of well kept ales served straight from the cask, always an enjoyable visit,so much so we've decided to come down for new year, oh...friendly staff complete the picture +++++
