Pub · Plymouth
A proper back-street local in Stonehouse, this is the kind of place where the welcome comes from behind the bar and the accents are properly Plymouthian. It's small and low-key rather than a big family dining room, so it suits a quiet late-afternoon stop more than a lively Saturday night — but there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating when the inside gets snug. Prices are gentle, the cask ale (Bass in particular) is kept beautifully, and there's a genuinely odd monkey-racing game on the ceiling that will keep children occupied longer than you'd expect. Some evenings bring live music or morris men, which children tend to love and light sleepers won't. Dogs welcome too. One visitor sums it up simply: "how a boozer should be".
