Argyle Beer Garden in Plymouth

Popped in for coffee mid-morning, quite quiet. Decor much better since the revamp, clean chairs. Staff always friendly.

They now close at 3.30 so have to try and get there earlier or you get some guy telling you to leave before you have finished

Avoid at all costs. Unpleasant people who have no idea of a community pub. No care in the world other than themselves.

We booked for Sunday lunch at Mayflower Brasserie, and having attended a wedding at the hotel, were looking forward to our lunch. We had duck pate to start and it was lovely, but to be honest you can’t go wrong with a slice of toast, a dollop of pate, a spoonful of onion marmalade and a micro greens garnish. Very tasty. We waited 20 minutes for our main of beef wellington. Unfortunately we both had to send the food back as it was barely warm and not pleasant to eat. Another long wait and new plates arrived. They were warmer than the first but far from hot food. We ate it and it was very tasty. Then came deserts. We ordered apple tart with clotted cream. Unfortunately it came with ice cream instead of clotted cream. As if we needed more cold food! I removed the ice cream and ate the tart. It was delicious but very small. When we paid they had given us our drinks free to compensate for the cold mains, and discounted the price of the tarts to compensate for the serving error. Overall, I am disappointed with my Sunday lunch. Service was exceptional but the food was a let down. Cold, small portions, and not as described on the menu. Even with the discounts our bill was over £100 for the two of us! We went home and had a sausage sandwich as we both still felt hungry. Needless to say, We shan’t go again

Stan was very helpful and friendly on bar, absolutely hilarious and was overall a great chat. Thanks Stan! We hope you remember us! - Dani and Pheebs
