Not a bad spot but beware as soon as the sun moves round late afternoon this place is in deep shadow and it becomes cold. Staff can be sullen. Large menu is not that great and potentially good dishes are often badly turned out. Think average to good routine pub food verging on careless transport cafe. Great pity, this place... More

Set in the cliffs below Plymouth Hoe this is a real gem. I had the best cappuccino ever and beautiful, freshly made to order sandwiches and ciabatta's ( rather than the plastic per-packed rubbish that has become the norm in the coffee chains) . I have also had a great breakfast there too. It's very clean, good seating, patio heaters,... More

I go here all the time in the summer for snacks (nachos only) and wine. Perfect for that. I have brought all types of people here (only ever on nice sunny days-- can't imagine it's worth it otherwise) and everyone says the same thing-- amazing location, terrible service (please try to get some people in who actually give a ***!),...

It's a stunning location on a sunny day and the music selection is perfect for the setting. The staff were very friendly and we stayed for a couple of drinks as it was very difficult to drag ourselves away.... More

As others have said this place used to be well run and an excellent spot for snack eating with a great view of the foreshore and Sound. Last year and still this Spring it has been really very poor. Worse than indifferent service and poorly turned out food. If its a warm balmy day and there are no queues then... More

We came here in its first couple of years. Something quite new. Lively owner manager with a simple well produced selection of dishes and drinks and a bit of relaxed style and casual fun. Even some cool dude music. We'd not been back for a while but tried it twice last year. One evening in August and then one lunchtime... More

Amazing view over Plymouth sound, great staff and a good selection of snacks and meals, coffee amongst the best I have had and also liceced. I think there are few places in the world with such stunning views and relaxing ambience, sat in the winter sun sipping on a glass of wine, looking at the views and listening to some... More
