Late 19th century pub with Grade-II listed glazed tile frontage, probably the best example of its kind in an open pub in Plymouth! The pub changed hands, after nearly 20 years with the previous tenants, in mid-2015. One handpump is on the bar but is not guaranteed to be always in regular use with a real ale being served.
