See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Taken over by McMullens Brewery in May 2013 with a focus is on dining, however drinkers are welcome, but if busy you may have to wait for a seat. You may now purchase you drinks from the bar upon arrival (it was previously table service only) and there are a few tables kept aside for drinkers only to the left of the bar. There are two regular beers available, and often a third seasonal beer from the McMullens range.
The pub is located on the banks of Mytchett Lake as part of a water-skiing complex, with a lovely view across the lake, where you can watch the birds and water-skiers. There is also organised wild swimming at the lake. As you would expect there is plenty of outdoor seating available and inside the pub there are large picture windows overlooking the patio and Lake.
Inside there are lots of nooks and crannies on various levels providing a variety of seating, with an eclectic but tasteful mix of decorative nautical items. There are two fire pits within the pub, keeping the pub warm and toasty in winter. Dogs are welcome outside on the patio and also with the drinkers inside. The urinals in the gents are unusual!
