Boringdon Arms Inn Restaurant in Plymouth

This is my number one go to pub. It has a wonderful atmosphere and everyone is friendly.

A great pub for nice quiet drink, a great range of ales that I couldn't do in one sitting. This is my local and I love it. The customer service is amazing. This place is dog and cat friendly, as an animal lover I'm in my element. The food is brilliant here, I recommend the cheesy chips / curries / hunter's chicken. Animals, Alcohol and Good Food. What else do you need from a good pub!

Nice local feeling pub. staff helpful and friendly

Cosy, nice feel, well priced, friendly staff, nice location, defo go back again.

Absolutely fantastic place. Customer service was superb, menu excellent value, lots of GF options. Dog friendly, lovely ales.

Great value food and great service. Admittedly pub wasn’t very busy but could not fault it. Parking could be a problem though.

We managed to walk in and get a table - which was lucky as the pub seemed to fill up very quickly. We were served by a young lad who was exceptional, he came to the tables a couple of times to ask if we needed anything and if our food was ok. We all had the fish and chips, which i could see them battering in the kitchen. We were however shouted at by a couple of the locals as we dithered a bit at the door and they didnt like the wind coming in! But other than that it was great with good beers too.

Had a great evening watching the start of the 6 Nations rugby. As ever, thanks to Jordan and his great team - Lou, Jake and Lilly - for their excellent engaging service, wit and repartee behind the bar.

We just had an awesome Sunday lunch here. The roast meals were real home cooked and full of flavour. Followed by great desserts. Service and the beers were spot on as well. We will definitely be back !!

It's a proper, lovely local pub, unfortunately hard to find these days. What makes this pub special is the banter between the locals and Jordan the Pub Manager who works very hard to make each visit a pleasurable experience . Highly recommended.

Christmas menu delicious.staff amazing.

Charming pub in a quiet corner of town, well worth a visit. Good range of beers, good menu with a good variety of specials. If the weather is right the beer garden is a real highlight

The Hunters chicken is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Next time I'm in Plymouth will definitely be coming back. Five stars.

My partner and I booked for Christmas Dinner on Friday 1st December. I have had in my time, many traditional Christmas meals out at various venues. Venues from celebrity chefs restaurants to hotels and other eateries. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the roast turkey Christmas Dinner we had at The Borringdon Arms was the best and I mean the best that I have had out. Beautiful thick hand carved turkey, amazing pig in blanket, roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and so many lovely vegetables that we struggled to eat everything. I suggest that you see if there is any availability left for this wonderful Christmas feast. Well done TEAM BA.

Jordan was amazing served drinks came with our meals the food was cooked prefect would recommend their home made chips amazing scampi. Will be back with the children soon x

Met up with few friends on a Monday evening ,pub quite busy, nice atmosphere. Pub darts match on. Food looked good although we did not eat there. Tucked away in Turnchapel.l

Great pub , nice and roomy , lovely beer garden to chill with hubby and dog on visit , staff pleasant, food good (not al carte). Bit worth a visit

Good food & service, recommended.

Very good, Pub food . Polite friendly staff . Reasonable price Good selection of drinks. The reason it didn't get all 5 stars , it's Dog friendly , sorry dog lovers , but if you can't control the animal, stay away from Public eating places . At this point I should mention the evening was spent with friends, with 2 very well behaved dogs. Woof woof

What an absolute hidden gem this pub is. You would not know the pub was there unless you took a stroll through the village or heard of it through word of mouth. You instantly get the cosy country pub feeling when you walk in. Very friendly atmosphere and have returned a few times since our first visit. Food is exceptional! A real hearty home cooked meal which left us wanting more. You can tell a lot of thought, care, and planning goes into the meals and the specials on offer. We could not compliment the chef enough for a Tuesday meal! We were served by the bar manager, Jordan. A very friendly and welcoming person that instantly made us feel like we were a local. We were made to feel so welcome we can't wait to return again for such a well cooked meal provided by such a welcoming staff member.

Good food and friendly staff and atmosphere

Only popped in for a drink. Very welcoming, staff efficient and quick even though busy. Toilets clean

Popped in for a couple of drinks and a bite to eat- always very welcoming especially with our dog - nice choice of drink’s especially the ales and gins - a nice fully enclosed beer garden - close to the water and on route to a nice walk

Great genuine pub with a great atmosphere, fantastic staff, good food. Recommend coming in on a Friday evening, every local was in with a dog and a smile. We had arrived and with in 5 mins had struck up a couple of conversations and had been told all about the local highlights. Thanks to the General manager Jordan

Backed up against a terrace, you could be forgiven this is just another pub? But they have a lovely setting out the back, which is lit with some covered seating and garden growing naturally for wildlife. Good bears including a lemon pale ale. Unusual to say the least.

Great staff and very good food. We will definitely be returning.

Had the gammon steak and chocolate fudge cake, was pretty decent.

Good beer, lovely atmosphere, and good food.

Great local with rotating ales and a nice garden

Although I haven't spent a night in the Bori for 20 years, I know this place is a lovely and cheap place to stay. Other than that The Boringdon Arms (Bori) is an amazing pub. Welcoming with a very good selection of food and drink. It's why it was a local pub I visited often throughout my life. I haven't been often in the last 7 years as I've moved to a different place in Plymouth, but this pub has always has a special place for me. A lot of good people and locals come here. Great atmosphere and fun especially at the weekend. There has been a few land lords and land ladies over the years. And it's always kept it's charm. The current owners are old regulars who have put a lot of effort into keeping this pubs charm going. Lovely beer garden at the back and seating at the front in a lovely community area. Turnchapel village has a very local community sprit and is full of friendly faces that visit this pub. Highly recommended! 😊

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, beautifully decorated and full of lovely local people.

Great friendly atmosphere, lovely old pub. Great beers to choose from, great service.

Great pub, good choice of beer and friendly staff!

We enjoyed a lovely roast here, late one Sunday afternoon about 3pm. The meat was a smaller portion, and that could have been due to the time we arrived for food. This mattered more to my husband. However, I was delighted with the eleventy million types of veg and quantity. Cauliflower cheese, carrots, squashed swede, cabbage, broccoli, and at least one other, I've forgotten. We ordered Yorkshire with a chicken roast, which was forgotten by the kitchen and us as I was busy eating, so there was no terrible loss. I'd definitely go back. The service was great, they came to check we were happy, food was piping hot and delicious. We ate in the garden, which had the woods to the back, birds singing and sun shining in. A garden swing was perfect to enjoy after our 7-mile walk, with a gin, of course. I would love to try their other food but will surely have another roast too.

My friend saw a ghost in there😅im not joking..her face 😐 described everything..a ghost of a maid was standing next to her. And she couldn't move😬

Have been using the Boringdon Arms for quite a few years and always found the food excellent. However when taking my wife, daughter and son in law for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago I can only say that the portion size for the medium size roast was awful.I hate to think what size the small roast was. The veg for four of us was the same as people had for the two of them and the meat was minimal and only 3 small potatoes. I rarely complain about things but this has has been nagging at me for a while. We were also charged for an extra pint that we did not have.only noticed when we got home. I know the place was packed out but this is no excuse for the size of the meals served.

On a recent visit to the area, called in with friends after a long walk, had a spot of lunch and a few drinks. On arrival, greeted by a young man who I can only presume is the manager, he promptly served our drinks and found us a table and brought the drinks over, we were handed menus, I opted for the traditional homemade faggots and my partner chose the meatballs, the order was taken at the table. The food delivery was quick and it was obviously freshly made, the food was excellent! We ended up staying for a few more drinks! The manager (Jordan as we later found out) looked after us, bringing drinks over and checking on us. A really pleasant afternoon and would highly recommend a visit!

I love going to the Boringdon Arms for a meal. The food is great value and the service is fantastic. Looking forward to going back soon.

Just dropped in for a drink. Friendly and warm on a cold day. Good beer and dog friendly.

Very friendly pub and food is very good.

My first visit to The Boringdon Arms and I have to say that it's a lovely pub. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere 👌

A very warm welcome. Food was perfect. And Homemade. I had Chilli half rice half chips... No Frozen chips here 👍👍👍

A Huge Thank you to The Bori Arms for a delicious Festive Christmas meal.Friendly warm and welcoming with all the Festive trimmings. Cattewater Cruising Club.

Unplanned stop at The Boringdon Arms for lunch with my husband (spontaneous lunch date). Food, staff, venue, value, customers………all wonderful. I had the spring green risotto (with a requested extra of cheese) with salad which was delicious. My husband had ham, egg, chips and mushy peas which he said is one of the best he’s ever had. Both very reasonably priced (around £9-£10). The staff were friendly and attentive. The customers (and dogs) were friendly and welcoming. We played darts. There were some lovely looking cosy booths to the rear of the pub and a great looking garden area which I assume would be wonderful in the warmer evenings. Highly recommend, we will return

Good food and great staff in this excellent local

Different seating areas... bar, lounge, conservatory, beer patio/garden. Peaceful, simple and nice. Very good value food. After your visit... lovely views of yachts on the water and across the waters. Dog friendly but wasn't full of dogs. All good for a recluse location.

My first time at The Boringdon Arms really did enjoy my evening. Staff are very friendly and bring your drink to the table. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Brill place great pub food, dog friendly, and excellent barman.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and great food

What a lovely pub went in for a drink after a walk from Yacht Haven Marina , The Manager was a nice friendly young Man . The local residents also made us welcome, we will be going back soon for food. Thank You.

Decent, honest place to stay or eat. Fresh, well-cooked food and reasonably priced. The food we had was not frozen or microwaved and the chips were hand cut and freshly fried. Didn’t experience this anywhere else. In general we went hungry in the area due to unpleasant, overpriced, pub grub, however this and the Guard Room down the road honest offer fresh and reasonably priced food.

Great pub good beer and friendly staff.

Went walkabout. Took ferry taxi from barbican to mount button. Started the coastal walk. Met lovely couple who told us about the Boringdon in Turnchaple. Bob had a refreshing beer, my sister a J20 and lemonade, and me?....my usual glass of pinot grigio. Mm...mm.... Bob had steak and Jail pie, my sister, fish cakes, ( there was three varieties) with hand cut chips and I had a fabulous ham, cheese, and pate ploughman's with hot bread. Gorgeous. The man who served us at the pub was so friendly and helpful, the pub looked lovely. We'll done the Boringdons. We will come again.

Lovely friendly pub with excellent food and beer at good prices. Beautiful setting so relaxing and everyone that works there and their customers make you feel so welcome.

Since living in plymouth for a long time this is definitely the best pub going. We aren’t local but travel for the amazing Guinness, ales and food this gem has to offer. Jordan the manager is so helpful and goes all out to ensure the best experience. Chips are hand peeled and delicious. Amazing.

Nicest pub I have been to in ages. Everyone was lovely, a real welcome for everyone!

More life in a morgue. Barman/owner/whoever he is was unnecessarily horrible to my dad, in which I retaliated about just because we hadn't realised the place had closed after he had just lit up a cigarette as we are not locals, even though we apologised and the place was as dead as a dodo. Also, the price of an Astrella there is a crime in itself. Save yourself a re-mortgage and go to the Royal Oak, or the Victoria :)

Excellent pub. Very good choice of ales. Has a nice shady garden to the rear. Good food at reasonable prices. The bar staff are friendly and helpful.

Good beer, good food, nice location... The beer garden on a hot day...sorted

Great place to stay when diving.

Best pub this side of the water with excellent food and fine cask ales. Lovely atmosphere and they also have a few letting rooms too. Always my preferred place to stay when in the Plymouth area. Just a short walk to the passenger ferry too taking you to another fine pub on the Barbican which is not to be missed... The Dolphin.

Trip down memory lane.Just as we remembered it , only cleaner and tidied up beer garden.Large all day breakfast excellent.

Used the Boringdon Arms as a base for a Scuba Diving trip. Excellent accomodation, food and a great Jail Ale Brilliant

A nice friendly pub with good atmosphere, and excellent food. The beer Garden is really nice with picnic benches and gas heaters if required.

Really nice pub, real ales and good food!

Highly recommended food was amazing and really good value for your money Excellent vegan menu too the deserts were so yummy!! Staff were attentive lovely atmosphere dog friendly too. Perfect family evening!

Great Sunday roast, great selection of veg and the gravy was lovely. Highly recommend for a laid back enjoyable meal in a lovely establishment, staff are awesome as well.

Lovely setting in a quiet area. Free car park at end of road. Great hosts and excellent breakfast

We have stayed at the Boringdon several times. They always look after us well. The rooms a basic but clean and do exactly what we need while we are there.

Staff are friendly and polite food is available, rooms available also, very narrow road to the pub would advise using the first car park up top as other lower one fills up quickly.

Lovely local pub with a great selection of beers. The beer garden is really nice too. Didn't try the food but will do soon. Well worth a visit if passing through Turnchapel

Good food and beer in a welcoming pub.

Only went in for drinks after a walk, but the meals being served looked delicious. We will be back and will time our walk and eats a little better next time! Would also mention that it's good to see a pub serving Sharps beers (Atlantic and Sea Fury)

A warm welcome Friendly staff There is a good vegan menu & I had lasagne & chips which was very tasty. There was a varied choose & good value. Also a selection of cake/ pudding. A great little find for us whilst doing the South west coast path

Stumbled into pub by accident. Good selection of ales and food. Pleasant staff and surroundings. Vegan menu available

A lovely local pub where we, party of seven, were well received by the friendly staff. We all enjoyed the food (the lamb shank - a special on the day - was finger licking great). Ampke parking was close by, even though the pub is well tucked away. One tip: order your dessert well on time.... my slice of cake took 50 minutes (!) from ordering till receiving, hence the 4 instead of 5 star rating...

Nice friendly local pub with a typical pub menu of simple tasty traditional pub fare at very reasonable prices

What a fantastic place Fantastic bar staff excellent food and the beer was absolutely lovely

Great pub good ale selection always worth a visit

Lovely pub ! With excellent food and beer….highly recommend

In all our time of drinking and eating at the Bori, we have never visited on a Sunday lunchtime until yesterday. Wife had the roast beef and myself the burger. The food was as good as it always is. The roast beef came with 2 additional bowls of vegetables, including cauliflower cheese plus a gravy boat. Such exceptional value for £9.95. I had the burger (doubled up) which was absolutely divine. 2 deserts to follow which were both lovely and all washed down with a few good draft ales. The food is lovely and very well priced. 10/10. Service as friendly and attentive as always,

Stayed for a weekend to go diving, ate both nights food was great and good portions. Beer and cider good as well. 😊. Great place to stay if to are using Mountbatten

Nice, pleasant Staff, and great beer.

Awesome afternoon, great Bar Person remembers everyone's drinks all-day, nice food, great atmosphere highly recommended.

Just popped in for a lunch. Lived round here for past 10 years but never tried it. My bad! Really good food, and the wine was decent too. Will definitely go in again soon.

Stopped here for lunch while exploring Plymouth and were delighted with our meal! It is so reasonably priced, there is loads to choose from on the menu and the pub has a lovely, friendly atmosphere. I really enjoyed my food (chicken burger) which came with so many fries - amazing value and would definitely come again!

Dogs made welcome as well as the Humans :-) staff lovely and pleasant, not expensive, good pub food menu and excellent deserts.

Amazing food ale, location and atmosphere. The Boringdon is one of my favourite pubs in Plymouth. Although it is an hour walk for me, when I have the get up and go about myself. I will very happily trudge to have an evening there. Me and my partner spent new years eve there and had a blast with a dj playing all evening. Lots of space inside and outside. Stunning beer garden! With a cliff face incasing it in, and great attention to detail on the flower beds. I cannot rate it enough!

Fantastic local pub. Staff super friendly, you couldn’t ask for better service. Good pub grub at great value and fab selection of drinks in a beautiful village. Dog friendly with treats at the ready - such a lovely community. Our 8 year old son took a liking to playing darts and although he definitely needs a bit more practice (!) we have to give special thanks to Jordan who treated him like he was a pro and treated us like we were locals. He’s a huge asset to your pub. Thank you for making our holiday, we will hopefully return!

Had a pre Christmas family meal, 10 adults, 6 children, was looking forward to what should have been a lovely roast, however the lamb was extremely fatty, white glutinous and tough, did complain and had another one, that was less fatty but meat to tough (as if heated back up in microwave)to eat, roast potatoes were well over cooked, to hard to eat the outside, only able to eat the inside, carrots not cooked almost raw, very disappointing, will not be retuning, far better alternative places. No discount offered,

Had a great lunch at the Boringdon yesterday, group of 7 of us and everyone happy. Great food, staff polite and friendly. Our new local. 👍🏻

Good cosy pub, good food, good people, good beer. Lovely garden too.

Nice selection of craft beers, and some lovely gins

Carvery, very sparse with the meat and vegetables. Okay , but won't be rushing back.

We stayed in Turnchaple in a holiday home and were delighted to find this pub on our door step. The food was mostly home made and great value. We were told all curries were also home made. We ate here 5 out of 7 nights...

We visited Turnchaple in Oct 21 and found this pub close to our rented home. The food was so good we came to eat and have one of the craft beers 5 nights out of 7 ( they were closed Sunday night) Recommend all homemade dishes and fish fridays. As local people come her it has a loveley atmoshere and a roaring fire. The team were very friendly and welcoming. Guarantee you will enjoy

Very nice place to drink and eat. Friendly staff and clientele.

Crackin pub. Proper old skool. Well priced

Took the family down for a bit of tea,and loved the food.Staff were great and very reasonable prices.will be a regular.

Lovely environment and staff..😊
