Lovely ambience... old old pub loads of character excellent menus - reasonably priced. With a smugglers theme you wont be disappointed in the low beams and orginal flooring in places. A wide variety of food and ales.

The ambience, food, staff, beer are all first class, it's a must if you're around the harbourside. Dave does his upmost to provide the best ales and an extensive menu in a quiet atmosphere, there's also live music .

what a nice change to find a pub with atmosphere,old world charm, and an interesting menu where the service is fantastic as well. Lovely local fish dishes, such a change from the usual chain pubs. We will certainly go again when we are next in Torquay - its a good iodea to book as this is a very popular place!
