Apple & Parrot, Torquay

This is essentially a loud music pub. L-shaped interior with a stage area to the left rear. Central steps to another raised room with pool. Sticky tables (if someone is willing to water the flora outside could they not also run some grease-buster over these?). Look up and you’ll see some nice cornices. Didn’t spot the parrot mentioned below. Two ales, Bays Gold (tasted a bit weird, iffy pipes?) and Doom Bar. Perhaps more interesting is the impressive cider and perry range. Despite being 3pm on a Friday afternoon, music boomed away during our brief sojourn despite us being two of only three customers. I might give this place a go if there was a gig on but certainly wouldn’t venture in just for a drink.
