Sippers, Plymouth

Have not been in this pub for several years, and although i was not a regular whenever i used it i found the selection of beers plentiful and the welcome warm. This was not the case when i visited this week. Waiting for the ferry to france, myself and a friend wallked in, only to be confronted by a (seemingly) friendly bulldog. Dont have a problem with dogs at all, its just when i go onto a pub i expect to see people! We sat at the bar, waited, and waited, and waited- still no sign of anyone who worked there! we must have waited about 7/8 minutes before we walked out. We could hear noise coming from the kitchen, sounded like sonmeone was washing dishes, but no-one popped their head around. When we left, we saw the barman (an older man so i assume he is the landlord) outside having a fag break. Fine, i dont mind people smoking, its just that you should always keep an eye to the bar if your going to nip out!! We also were quite put off when the dog decided to pee all over the floor- i know that it's not the dog's fault but if it is apub dog the owners should be more responsible and consider letting it outside! Would nnot reccommend this pub at all. Toilets were dirty and did not smell good. It really saddens me to see pubs decline, but this one sadly has.

Jamaica Inn, Bolventor

went to this pub for lunch on a hot weekday, have never been there before and thought that a spot of lunch in the sun would be nice. we asked about food, and were suprised when we were told that the only option was carvery. This suprised me, as i thought they would have at least had something cold seeing as it was so hot! That said, the bar staff were friendly, and the beer was very welcome! would reccomend this pub, as it is a beautiful location and on a sunny day it cant get much better!
