This is the worst pub in Kingswear.
It is in a good location near to the ferry and was full of locals when we visited.
Agree with the comment about it being like a transport cafe. 5/10

There are three pubs in Kingwear and this pub is well maintained and very spacious. There is a but though, the beer, OTTER ALE, in this pub in noticeably different in the way it is maintained, too cold and almost flavourless compared to the other pubs in the village.There were 3 beers to choose, all from local brewers. The price of the beer was also more expensive and if you want a bar snack...I hope you like ready salted crisps, as that is the only snack that is on offer. The staff are a little aloof, but will service you if they are not watching Dickin's Real deal. Out of all the pubs available, this should be the last one you visit. Its still worth a go. Cheers.

Excellent location from leaving the the train and joining the ferry! Good beer, their own pale ale is good and very good prices. Friendly staff.

Our 25th wedding anniversary meal was made very special by the staff and Landlord of the Royal Dart who set up a private dinning area on the balcony overlooking the river for us with music and was very attentive throughout the whole meal. Food was lovely and would also recommend it for families, a night to remember.

Superb views of the river but terrible service & long waiting time for overpriced & overcharged! food.
Had to ask for my pint to be topped up, got a scowl & a reluctant fill to pint line.
Scruffy interior & really a discrase, more like a transport cafe

The quietest of Kingswear's three pubs, but none the worse for that. Always a good selection of real ales from local breweries (on my last visit, Teignworthy, Red Rock, South Hams and Bay were all represented, plus others including O'Hanlons available bottled). The food is good and popular, particularly when the train's running, and there's an excellent view from the lounge and from upstairs. Strange fact: the pub was a naval base called HMS Cicala during WW2 and was claimed as sunk by Lord Haw Haw!
