The Royal Hotel, Bideford

Largish corner pub a few steps back from the main quay in Appledore. Seemed to be more set up for sport and the youth of Appledore on my visit, with the interconnecting rooms having a big plazma tele on the go and a full size pool table dominating one of the spaces. Although hard to tell as the place was empty during my visit and I guess it only really livens up in late evening. Couldn’t see any of the real ales advertised outside amongst the shiny chrome taps along the bar , so didn’t linger long here.
