See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
A two-bar pub near the church in a village which which retains its country atmosphere despite being nearly surrounded by Saltash's expanding estates. Built 'circa 1902' as it says on the wall, this locals' pub is also popular with walkers on the footpaths which lead from St Stephens into the adjacent countryside. The pub supports local teams, including darts (a 'darts marathon' held here is listed in the Guiness Book of Records) and euchre. Support for local charities is also a major activity, with many resulting awards displayed on the walls. Food is served daily, although only basket meals cn be offered at present (summer 2021). Live music appears 1700-1900 on Sundays, often a Devon band called the Mojoes, and there are fortnightly pub quizzes. Two beer festivals are normally held, at Easter and August Bank Holiday weekends. The buses are frequent although the nearest stop is about 15min walk away.
