Torquay:

We’d had a long (for these days) walk up from the harbour on our way to a Thai restaurant and needed a drink and a sit down, and Google said this was close, so we dropped in. I’m not sure if we caught it at a bad time, but it didn’t hit even my standards. While this review seems over harsh, it was dark inside, seemed to be a professional drinkers pub, and the carvery equipment looked to be unused for some time. There was food though, but it was amusingly non-specific: “sweet and sour” without specifying what might be sweet and sour. No ale- three pumps with the clips reversed, and no drinkable lager either, so bottled Sol it was. The large opening window at the front was nice though, and the barman wasn’t actually hostile… Annoyingly, a much nicer looking boozer was a few yards away.
