Stoke Inn in Plymouth

Lovely barmaid very warm and welcoming ideal for families

This quaint cafe does not disappoint lovely cooked fresh produce menu food with excellent customer service and outstanding countryside views which you can enjoy from the outside seating area there is also the chance to buy locally sourced food including pasties, biscuits cakes etc alongside delicious honey well worth the visit

Pub is closed Great locale pub but at the moment due to staff sickness only open from 17.00. Will keep you updated Fully staffed now Pub is open from 11.00

Pros: The lady behind the bar was lovely... Cons : Only available draft ale was Jail Ale. I think they had at least 3 other hand pumps not being used. No word of a lie, my Jail Ale smelt like cheese which is a first for me. That really tangy supermarket stuff. I'm assuming the lines weren't cleaned properly. The taste wasn't much better and I couldn't finish it.

Horrible place. Sat quietly at the bar, had my back to everyone & while my partner was taking to someone these awful girls (one of which was bar staff) set on me saying im taking videos of them, telling me to show them my phone etc, i was infact sending my daughter a text message,which has nothing to do with them, facing away from everything! Nasty people, awful atmosphere, avoid at all cost! It's a dive with the worst bar staff

Very busy. Could do with more staff on match days. But quiet today.

First time visiting the bar and will definitely be the last. Found a hair in my glass that looked like a pubic hair

Friendly staff cider a bit overpriced but pub clean and homely there is a massive garden at the back which could be amazing but it's terrible broken dirty chairs warped wobbly tables they had an act on who was pretty good but who wants to sit in Steptoes yard

Super ambiance! Gérants et clients adorables!

Went to the Stoke village fun day, went into the Stoke in to buy a drink, never again shall I make that mistake! It too 17 minutes to get served, waiting at the counter, but it seems they like to serve their regulars before anyone else, a regular walked in and they went straight to then(numerous of times) i ordered 2 cokes, they was filling the glasses up and half way through they ran out (one of the bar staff got someone to run across the road to the co-op to buy some bottles to then continue to fill the glass up with Coke Zero!) while sitting outside I then witnessed them buying some strongbow darkfruits from the shop! Not only all this, there was a 14/15 year old behind the bar serving alcohol!!!

Excellent atmosphere and nice staff. Also very inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community as i have been in there a few times now and as a trans woman who struggles with social interaction i have never had any problems with any of the staff.

It was ok. More of a regulars pub

What a great time I had in the Stoke inn. I was served by the loveliest barmaids sid and cat. They made me feel so welcome. Reasonable prices and a great atmosphere despite being quiet. Looking forward to returning

Went in with my disabled brother for a quick pint..Was very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Made us very welcome will definitely be returning.

Great selection of ales and friendly atmosphere, cheers 🍻

Small but friendly local pub in Stoke village and always a good place to go for a pre-match drink for Argyle games.

Visited with a few mates for drinks, the pink haired barmaid was a laugh and provided great service, prices a bit steep but fair for the atmosphere and service. Can't wait to go back

Only went in their briefly Sunday of last week, (26/9/21) and was asked by Karen the bar manager “what are you doing you cxxt?” Needless to say I will not be returning to establishment. It’s a dump.

The place could do with a good make over. The decor looks dated. Worse pub in Stoke village.

Nice local pub staff friendly and quick to serve The decor could do with a bit of an uplift as a bit dated They have a garden area but Di mot use it during my visit also have a pool table Drinks reasonably priced and locals friendly Worth a visit when in the area

Nice local pub. Very friendly people

Unhappy landlord ,,( filters down ),!@@

Food and drinks are amazing. Entrainment is also perfect!

Classic local pub.nice beer garden,friendly staff.

new to the area, on two sunday afternoons ive gone here for a afternoon drink. nice layout, drinks are good, but both times a female member of staff running ragged doing a great job, but a male member, slow and useless. today alone,took my order then served 3 other tables ,slowly ,before me and a friend. the table opposite ordered a jug of lager , he devered it with no glasses. they took used glasses from another table. then he did it again with table in front of us. THIS BAR COULD MAKE A REAL KILLING. THE ONLY PUB OPEN IN STOKE, BUT HIS SERVICE AND ONLY ONE OTHER GIRL AS WELL, MEANS LOENG WAITS, AND SOME PEOPLE LEAVE FED UP. MORE STAFF, WOULD MEAN BIGGR PROFITS.

Feel safe there cos of covid !!

Good variety of ales and a very friendly atmosphere and staff.

This is a great place to go for food and drinks any time

A lovely little old school boozer

Friendly staff and atmosphere, nice drinks

Very friendly. Jay was amazing. Landlord was a character! Great Friday night. Will go again.

The BEST burger I’ve ever eaten in a pub. Staff are friendly and prices very reasonable. Would recommend!

Proper good friendly local. Only been there twice and both times both the staff and locals are friendly and helpful. Beautiful beer garden, big and a swing set for the kids. Moderately priced beer, cheap snacks and a great atmosphere. Will definitely return!

Great local pubwith well conditioned Ale and great place to meet friends or locals

Never been in here but friendly atmosphere and very relaxed

A nice pub with a good atmosphere. Pool table, jukebox and ale. Also they've a selection of board games too!

No nonsense, proper pub! Awesome Staff!

Great staff great beer. Great night.

Old mate of mine used to use this pub, found out he had crossed the bar so just paid my respects

Good, buzzing atmosphere. Great Guinness.

O.k very tired needs a revamps,garden is a mess

Ok place, nice gardens, friendly staff

Friendly local. Friendly staff.

Friendly place , friendly people.

It''s a local pub, with local patrons, they don't take cash, but they do have a good range of board games, and service is generally with a smile

Lovely beer garden. Had a great evening here, but they could make the most of their outside space.

welcoming and nice ales on tap, nice outdoor area to the rear. seating inside and out. worth a visit .

I had a mate visiting from Aus and I really didn't want to cook a Sunday roast on a hot August day but she was gagging for Yorkshires so we trotted across the road to the Stoke Inn. Yorkshires with any roasted meat and excellent Guiness - can't say fairer than that! Both mate and I loved the food and I have been back since. The ambience is lovely and friendly and the beer and cider festivals are brilliantly run. There is a large garden and a room for hire for parties outside the main pub. A lovely visit and one I regularly repeat.

Visited this pub early on Wednesday evening after shopping in Stoke. I found it quiet but the bar staff and customers that were there were friendly enough. This pub serves food but on this occasion I didn't have any. The pub has a great choice of draft ciders and ales at a reasonable price for the area. There is also a pretty good juke box, pool table and there is regular live music and the occasional beer festival.

Went here for the bank holiday live band. We went on the Sunday evening a good view people there and the weather good for sitting outside, the bands were good and there was a bbq place set up, although I was a little shocked at the hygiene standards of the person working behind it, so didn't purchase anything to eat, as she touched raw meat with bread rolls, not good practice. The log burner got lit but it then became too smokey where we were sitting so had to move. It was a good evening though and a good selection of real ales and ciders and donations to St Luke's hospice

Excellent pub stopped in for a bite to eat all cooked fresh and tasty :) very friendly staff and a lovely little dog

We stopped for lunch on the way to catching the Santander ferry. Very friendly pub, very reasonable prices. Food is more nice than great and it takes a long time to come out, so dont be in a hurry.

En un par de veces un servicio encantador. Hay un perrito que le gusta la espalda frotándose o solo me siento en su silla y él quiere atención. Sin embargo, él está ocupado y no lo convierta en Pest.Me encanta el periódico, juegos y cambiar un rincón del libro. La escuela es muy antiguo.Si bebí más fácilmente podría convertirse en mi local.

The Stoke Inn is by far the best pub in the land, its got a great City Pub feel, everyone who enters are treated like the family, food and drink prices are very reasonable, in fact the food not only tastes great but is prepared fresh on the spot, so you might have a little time to wait for your grub, but its so much better this way, I mean 20 mins for burger and chips is fine, at least it gives you time to speak with other pub goer's, if ths pub gets busy the simple thing to do is to heads to the far end of the pub where the sofa's are, sit back and relax!. The pub also has a pool table with plenty of room, FREE WiFi, darts boards and a whole host of characters who run this pub, Steve has done so much for the community here in Stoke Village and is a real; credit to the community, Im so glad he is the landlord, we wouldn't want anyone else!. \Don't forget the massive beer garden, childrens play area and function room. - Pic on the front page by me - TamarPhotography.

This is a great pub if you hit it right. Lots of choice of real ales and ciders and usually a good atmosphere. Food good value and great tasting. We went in with friends and enjoyed a few of their 101 shots!

He estado viniendo y para este pub en el pueblo de stoke, a veces me gusta y a veces no es tan bueno. Yo realmente no estoy interesado en el barman ir fuera a fumar y luego volver de detrás de la barra sin lavar las manos, me di cuenta de algo. Hay una buena selección de cervezas y algunos sidra local y cervezas. La comida ha sido buena cuando he tenido y muy razonable

Popped in here with a group of friends and it was a good atmosphere. We tried many of their real ales there was also a good choice of ciders too. It is a bit hit and miss in this pub to the friendliness of staff...

Just had a night at the Stoke Inn, Stoke, Plymouth. I had booked the function room out the back for a women's church outreach event. The room was free which suited out budget and was like a large conservatory. I was shown the room by...

Pasó por aquí con unos amigos para una bebida por la noche. Esta fue una visita mucho mejor que la última vez, personal amable, ambiente amenos y era bueno y un ajetreado centro de poco. Un montón de opciones de cervezas y nos lo pasamos de maravilla

I have written some good reviews for the Stoke Inn but we were very disappointed today. Went in at lunchtime, no one at the bar for at least 3 to 4 minutes, only the dog behind! No food which was a shame as we came especially for it, apparently there was no chef. Took our drinks into the beer garden, seats were quite rusty and didn't look too clean. The bar maid a little grumpy too, we didn't stay for any more drinks and went to another local inn instead

The best pub in Stoke, wonderful staff and great food grub, I've been in there plenty of times and have never had any problems, other than fixing their computers. :) see you soon guys.

Go to this pub more frequently than we ever used to do as they have special events and the food is lovely. We went for Sunday lunch which isn't something we do very often. They do 4 roast lunches for £20 which I think is an excellent deal. I couldn't persuade any of my party to have the roast lunch, so I was the only one having it. It was delicious, I choose the lamb and couldn't believe how much meat I had, it was lovely and very tasty, others had the fish and chips and my son had the sharing platter for two, for himself, which he said was very tasty. As usual a good choice of real ales and of course the Old Rosie cider. Friendly pub and good atmosphere

Having recently moved fairly near to this pub I thought I'd see if it could be my new local. I'd read good things and had high hopes.Unfortunately it was not up to the high praise I'd recently heard.The bar was busy, but lacking bar staff - between 5 and 10 minutes passed before anyone appeared - and the initial impression was of a tired, seen better days bar. When I finally acquired a pint ( the barmaid was friendly enough, but seemed unconcerned about leaving the bat unattended for such a long time) I went out to the garden to enjoy the sun.I have to say, this garden bears little resemblance to the one in the pictures. This appears to be fairly large and well tended. In reality it is fairly small and shabby, The tables are warped and very weathered and many of the tables look very uncomfortable. The general impression is shabby and a little grubby.I realise many people seem to like this pub, but it is not for me and I will not be returning, I feel the images and website lead one to expect a much better environment than is actually delivered.

We had a small wake at the Stoke inn. We had a very warm welcome and the food was excellent. The kids loved the outside bit and the mother in law feel in love with Oscar. They where very sensitive towards the situation. Price of drinks was really good. I booked over the phone and make lots of changes and they where great about it. If I lived in Plymouth I would make it my local

We went here for lunch and as always a good selection of real ales and the food is really lovely. I had the burger and the others had the fish and chips. The burger was lovely and freshly cooked but I regretted not having the fish and chips, the batter was so light and made with the beer behind the bar and everyone saying how lovely and tasty they were. A good excuse to go again soon!

Traditional pub food, done very well and at a very good price. £15.20 for two mains and two drinks. Cumberland sausage and mash was even better than some I've had in Cumbria. Good choice of real ales. Staff were friendly and helpful. Toilets were nice and clean. Will definitely be returning.

A very good pub, serving good Real Ale and Real cider.A large and varied choice of spirits. Friendly and helpful bar staff.Will definitely be back.

We popped in here for lunch and it was really quiet considering the local football team were playing, so we ordered our food before the crowd arrived. I can recommend their burgers, they always taste good and you always get lots of homemade chips. Good selection of beers. Another lovely lunch

A very nice pub, an excellent choice of beers, cider & spirits.The band were very good last night and the place was packed.Didn't have food but the menu looked good, will definitely return and try.A dog friendly place which was much appreciated.

What a surprise to find this huge beer garden hidden behind those buildings!! Averagely priced food and beverages with relaxed ambience.

I popped in to watch a World Cup Rugby match and have a pint of Guinness at £3.80. A man peeling potatoes at the bar grunted something that i couldn't understand in reply to my surprise at the priceNo wonder there were only 3 in the bar watching.

Called in here whilst going to Café Indiya fro a meal. Very pleasant staff, made us feel welcome which was a surprise as we had been told that it is not a nice area or pub. Have been back since to watch rugby matches - always make us feel like we are regulars & friends.

Had a lovely afternoon at the Stoke Inn Beer festival. Great music and atmosphere. I was somewhat surprised by the owner's antics who thought is was funny to walk around with tampons dangling from his ears (dipped in something red). I would have expected this from an adolescent boy, not from the owner. Very bizarre!!!

Just had my daughter's 13th birthday 'do' at the Stoke function room - which turned out to be a perfect venue. Not only did the food provided go down well, Steve's genius in investing in an earphone jack connected to the function room speakers, in conjunction with the Stoke's free wifi meant that they could use their electronic devices (which no teenager is without) to choose and play their favourite music. The function room includes a patio area, and when it got dark, twinkling fairy lights throughout. The girls had a marvellous time, I could keep an eye on them without cramping their style, and unlike many function rooms, there was no need to pass through the bar to reach the loos. I would heartily recommend the venue, and would urge anyone with a similar celebration to arrange to take a trip to the Stoke, have a meal, enjoy the garden, and check out the function room. Thank you, Steve and staff for making it a very special occasion.

Fantastic pub with great selection of real ales and food, fab atmosphere on a weekend with very friendly staff and regulars, well worth a visit!

Went there last week very very rude owner will not be going back there. Used to be a lovely pub with lovely food and lovely staff and owners, The current owners have just ruined it looks lovely inside but so much crap everywhere you can't see what it's actually looks like worst pub in Plymouth and there are some dumps in Stoke village but run so much better

Unfortunately we have been been to this pub on several occasions,the dart area doubles as the dance floor ,well I say dance floor the toilets are larger ,if you want to shout over the music it's the pub for you

Came here some time ago and thought it was all a bit ordinary, maybe overselling itself, but came back at lunchtime a week ago and felt very differently. It is friendly, welcoming, the effort to sustain well kept beers and to offer a carefully constructed rather better than average pub menu were both evident and proven by our very acceptable and hearty, not too boozy lunch. As someone who doesn't live in or walking distance of Stoke Village, parking is a pain, but if I am hereabouts again I will not hesitate to come back to this pub. Perhaps someone should consider adding a listing in with the other pub in the Tripadvisor 'nightlife' section of Things to Do. I'd be I treated to find out whether it's a bit of fun evenings.

Some years since I have eaten there. Used to like it and then it changed hands. Vowed never to eat there again. Loud mouths swearing, food was horrible.Anyway. It has changed hands again and what a change.Friendly. Good selection of ales and cider and a small yet well priced menu. Anyway the food. What a nice surprise. Back to the very high standards that we used to enjoy. Nice little touches like wholemeal bread. nicely presented Going back? Oh yes.Pros. Friendly. Good food. Very fair prices. They were able to jiggle the menu around for me, mix and match. My wifes wine was good and my cider was also.Cons. Well it is a pub so there was a juke box. Bar could perhaps be a little brighter in decor. Still giving it, on my wifes decision a 5 star.

Nothing remotely special but the basics are done well and if it's warm and fine you can sit outside. One of several pubs in the Main Street of Stoke Village but this one is not bad.

Second time for visiting this pub, went here with friends for lunch. Three of us had the burgers and again they are very good quality and also the bun was nice and toasty, the chips, are homemade and are very tasty. My friend who is a vegetarian had the brie and cranberry panini, which she was good. Reasonable choices of beers and a huge array of spirits. I had a half a pint of a local brew, which was very nice. Good choice and good value

Held a function at the Stoke Inn - A 'posh' black tie dinner.....for 24 people. Held in their private function room. Excellent venue, lovely setting. The staff all dressed in bow tie and collars to serve us and the owner of the pub dressed in full tails as maître de!The food was fantastic with an excellent choice. Amazing price for a group booking too! No rush, no hassle just lots of food in a pleasant atmosphere.Can't say enough to recommend this pub and it's staff.

If your a group and looking for a pub for a 3 course meal then look no further. Fabulous food great service and great staff. Would highly recommend this place.

Steve and his team do a marvelous job breathing new life into the otherwise generic Stoke Village. If you like dancing on tables, meeting all walks of life, coffee, pool, darts, quiz nights, live sport and a vast collection of reading material then the Stoke is the perfect place for you. The cuddles from their resident dog are second to none and he alone could make even the coldest of hearts warm up. They do fantastic burgers and the Sunday menu is incredible value for money. The staff and customers alike are so friendly and happy you can easily loose hours (and half the content of your wallet) in this place. Bravo to the Stoke Inn and long may you continue to keep Stoke 'Top Jolly'.

Spent a lazy Saturday afternoon here with a friend catching up on recent times, lounging in a sofa, watching the football results and trying out the ale selection. I did not have food, but there was a good choice of real ales. Pleasant pub for a quiet drink, until someone puts a coin in the juke box that is......

Popped in here for lunch and hadn't been in here for awhile. We had the burger and chips, very reasonably priced and also very tasty. We were the only people here at the time and the two chaps behind the bar were very attentive. I noticed they have a book library, you bring a book and take a book i didn't ask all the details but thought it was a good idea

Visited for the first time having just moved to the area. Very pleased to have found a friendly pub with lovely atmosphere. The roast dinner was good value ( four for £20!) with fab gravy. We will definitely be going again.

We had a lovely Sunday roast, compliments to the chef, great beer garden, everyone so friendly but we missed Foster the dog who was out on a walk, we will visit again, thank you so much, Sue & Jill

A fancy theme pub it ain't... but if you are looking for good food (and lots of it :) in a proper pub environment, then the Stoke Inn is highly recommended.Over the years I have had the pleasure of eating at some of the best troughs in Europe and I'm not suggesting that this is up with the Michelins' but, and there is a but... the Chef here does an amazing starter of mushrooms topped with cheese that will compete with anything.The best bit? About 20 quid for two courses and a bottle of reasonable red.Be afraid Wetherspoon, be very, very afraid!

An amazing envionment, only bettered by the food.In stoke village there is nothing but Pasties, and Indian food, finally someone who knows how to cook fine food, abally assisted by staff who know what they are doing.Please ignore the environment, and treat yourselves to a fine dining experiance without the cost

Unremarkable late Victorian pub in busy narrow suburban thoroughfare with moderate and fairly priced selection of food and beer. Probably better food offerings than any other pub in the street.

great place Steve the owner is very friendly fab food great outside garden and car parking free which is a bonus nothing to much trouble well worth a visit great Sunday roast

me and some friend went here on saturday night and they had a singer on a young girl but she had a great voice, we will be going again when she sings next.the pub was in the middle of being decorated but that did not stop us partying the night away so hopefully when we go back it will be all finish but what i coud see they had done looked great .i look at there menu and wish we had come in earlier for the 2 steaks for £10 on the saturday only but will going back for that

This place is amazing!! cheap friendly family orientated business. Reasonably priced drinks excellent food :) brilliant service. All bar staff are kind and freindly top banter or serious chats this is the place to be for all ages. Excellent venue for parties since the new year I have attended several parties ranging from 18-80+ birthday parties to christening after parties and wakes. This place really does do it all!!

It was difficult to contact them as the phone numbers which they'd tried to get changed were all wrong, The actual number is 01752 515749.It was a great place for family and friends (all 10 of us including a vegetarian) to enjoy. The food was great and cooked from fresh ingredients with service you'd expect when your paying good money eating out. The prices are reasonable with a good menu to choose from. Well recommended and going back tonight for their Valentine menu which I expect to be equally as enjoyable.

Called in week before Xmas for a lunch. Was quiet and we ordered hamburgers.Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service.

The young girls that work be hide the bar are so nice to talk to they make you feel so welcome.The new owners have changed the menu so its pub grub not restaurant food which is so much better, quicker and great value.The two brothers that are running it now make the stoke inn a place to come and enjoy a drink or two.Oh and they now have a pool table after 15 years of waiting for one

Horrified to see what the pub has become since new management has taken over...much better pub previously...was such a nice atmosphere and its a shame to see what its become.

it's less than a week, since new people have taken over the establishment, and already things are starting looking great, for a start its by far the most cleanest ive ever seen the place or for that matter any public house in Devon/Cornwall. The selection of drinks is great as is the new menu, proper food at great prices, I have so far already this week (twice) have had Chilli, Chips and Garlic Bread, all this for under a fiver, and its really good quality too. If you're visiting Plymouth and want some good home cooked food also taking into note the free car parking available around the corner, then look no further than the Stoke Inn, Plymouth. The staff are really nice and friendly, which makes the experience even more welcoming. I have good feelings again about the place, and really look forward to visiting.. - Actually is that the time, no guess to where im going....

I'm living in the Stoke area of Plymouth, myself and my family are extremely satisfied with the Stoke Inn, first class ales, superb home cooked food with excellent quality to match, the staff are all friendly, the drinks are of excellent value, as is the food too, ignore any review that has given the premises a bad review, if you want quality at an affordable price, look no further than this Public house, the couple running the premises are a lovely husband and wife team and are personally more like good friends than just landlord/land lady. Im sure they will do well when they sadly leave the area this year and move onto new premises in Polperro, myself and family are more than happy to travel the extra few miles, - truly wonderful. Thank-you :)
