Grade ll listed friendly, family, quayside freehouse overlooking the inner harbour, serving real ales, wines, spirits as well as a traditional selection of light lunches. The interior is just one long and very narrow room with a small bar counter in the back right corner. In the right hand wall towards the front of the room is a brick fire place with a log burning stove. Opposite this is an old wood settle built in to the left wall which has a painted sign above that claims there has been an inn on this spot since 1623. It suggests that when William of Orange landed here in Brixham in 1688 this was the first building that he stepped foot in for a drink before marching his army towards London to force the abdication of King James II and consequently become King William III Pictures of past and present day fishing trawlers, an integral part of Brixham's rich maritime heritage, adorn the walls.
