Nice looking exterior with a pleasing curved corner though the inside doesn't live up to expectations. There’s a sort of basic lounge at the front and a sports bar to the rear. Minimal seating so I was sat on the little table between the jumbo screen and door like a chump. Two local cask which nobody was drinking and it showed as my Teignmouth Deckhand was more Dead Man's Hand (NBSS 2). Also Sandyford cider available. I was hoping to get round the other pubs in town to see how this compared but a bus stop outside told me there was a bus to Tavistock arriving in 5 minutes, so I decided to chance my arm there instead.

A U-shaped terraced Georgian styled corner pub/sports bar. The pub is in a white ashlar stone block effect with black paintwork around the doors and windows.
The interior has two rooms that are separated by a doorless space. The serving bar is to the left and runs through both rooms. The lounge is entered first, it is in white, with white artex and beam ceiling and a red patterned carpet. It has a small stone fireplace, but other than a dartboard, a few boxing pictures, a mirror and some footy shirts that decorate the bar frontage, it is quite plain. The seating is red perimeter, with a few tables and chairs. The bar has a couple of pool tables and another dart board in it. It is decorated by shirts, scarves and sporting pictures on the walls. It is in white walls and ceiling with a patterned stone floor and some of the same carpet. As it is a sports bar there are of course lots of TVs showing, yep, sport - it was horse-racing at my visit. The background music was charty stuff really, but at a decent level. The service was very friendly, as were the younger based clientele that were in, passing a few words with me regarding footy in general.
Beer; the usual tap stuff with a very good Skinner's Betty Stoggs on handpull.
The place is a sports bar, so you know what you get before you go in. I popped in as i had been to the Plymouth Inn near next door and enjoyed the stop-off here. It kind of compliments the Plymouth Inn by covering a different clientele. I would pop in for one again, as long as the real ale was on.
