During the day this is a friendly seafront family orientated pub with a pleasant beer garden that overlooks Paignton Green, and has a very good children's fun play area. Come the evenings, it is Torbay's premier music and live entertainment venue, with karaoke on Mondays, quiz night Tuesdays and live bands, etc., from Wednesday to Sundays. The food is good value typical pub grub with a carvery on Sundays from noon to 3pm. Note that outside the main summer season the pub closes at midnight on Fridays and Saturday.
