The Gipsy Moth in Plymouth

A lovely cosy pub , the lady who served us was very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful . The food for all five of us was fantastic . The food, ambience and service in this pub was brilliant. Phil and marie

Was so looking forward to trying their Sunday Roast but very disappointed, beef was tough as old boots, swede tasted of nothing, potatoes were anaemic and cauliflower cheese was cold 😢

Fabulous food , Fabulous Table service - service was quick and attentive , with a flawless attitude , I had the special of Monkfish and scallops with chips , Fish was boat fresh, clean and immaculate taste , My partner had the chicken and leek Pie , with mash and broccoli , again fabulous , with a decent portion size - overall a wonderful experience

We were helped by a lovely fantastic lady from Liverpool ( Claire ) she couldn’t do enough for us looked after us all nite .. also big Shout out to the two young boys behind the bar ..Ollie, not sure of the other boys name .. and hats to the chef, and Kitchen staff .. 11 out of 10 for me .. see you today for the game.. again .. THANK YOU .. from Mandy, Peter

We were staying at the hotel next door and saw this pub had good reviews. My partner is coeliac so we're always a bit nervous about trying new places. We were completely blown away by the place. The staff were so friendly, very attentive with the coeliac worries and we felt so welcome. The food was probably the best pub food I've ever eaten. I had chicken and bacon pie which was served on mash with asparagus and tenderstem broccoli. My partner had fish with potatoes and veg. There was no room for puddings (we nearly always have desserts) as the meals were so large! The flavours were divine. Only wish I lived nearer to go back again!

Went there this afternoon for lunch to celebrate my birthday with friends. Delicious food and amazing service! I don’t know how the lady was doing it all. Serving behind the bar and attending our table always smiling and never looked the slightest bit flustered, nothing was too much trouble! I had a couple of awkward requests, like chips instead of mash and I was bought a bowl or freshly made hand cut chunky chips. Asked for custard instead of ice cream to go with my sticky toffee pudding and they made it. I ordered chicken leek and bacon pie and it was the best pie I have had in a long time! Really tasty. Came with asparagus and carrots. All have lots of flavour and huge portions! Will definitely return! Highly recommend! All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our food and visit.

My first visit in a few years for lunch with former work colleagues. The food was fabulous (& great value) but a special mention for the hake special (my choice)….absolutely delicious with performed fish with a fabulous sauce and plenty of chorizo. I commented to my friends it was one of the nicest fish dishes I’d had in quite a while. I would definitely recommend this dish. Also a special mention to the lovely young lady behind the bar who seemed to be on her own and managing a busy lunch time. Friendly, helpful & polite, despite having a couple of large tables plus ours (just 4 of us) she is definitely an asset to the Gipsy Moth team.

10 out of 10. Food was amazing, service was amazing. Such a great atmosphere. The staff are super lovely and made our night. I’d highly recommend popping in and having a meal and drinks.

I made a reservation, 3 weeks in advance, for 4 people at 19:30. Got a call at 18:00 asking where we were as according to them reservation was for 17:30! I explained they had made a mistake and table was booked for 19:30. I received no apology for their error, and was told they were full and had no room for us at 19:30. Even though they admitted it was their error, they had the audacity to say “have a nice evening!”. I was left to find another restaurant at very short notice for our planned meal. I was appalled by the awful customer service, lack of apology and lack of any attempt to rectify the problem. When I continued to express my disappointment I was promised a call back by the manager but that didn’t happen either. We were a small party of 4, I am sure, if they really wanted to, they could have fitted us in given it was their error.

A great Family visit to Gipsy Moth Plymouth for Sunday Roast. From the time we arrived a we had a lovely experience … the food was excellent & the service from the lovely Jacob was great - we shall definitely be returning

Popped in for food as staying round corner in from hotel, was quite quiet as only about 5pm. There was only one person behind bar who was doing everything, but by just talking to him, he was very enthusiastic. A couple of beers and food. The chicken burger was one of the nicest I've had, wife had a seafood special off their board, which was also very, very nice. Got busiervthe longer we stayed. A really nice, friendly atmosphere. Loved it!

It was our first day in Plymouth and found this nice place while walking to the Hoe. The interior is great with delicious food! The portion is rather huge but we finished it all. The host is also very nice and polite. Definitely will come again.

Pub food doesn't get much better than this. We had 3 starters, which, to be honest, was too much as the main courses are more than adequate. Monk fish scallops was lovely. beef pie great, pulled pork lovely huge portion be warned, curry very good all reasonably priced. Fantastic service from Claire and team, defo return. Thanks.

Just had sandwiches, they were nice, well presented. Came with chips. Staff were nice. The place always seemed busy, so they must be doing something right. Premises clean

Just ordered what we thought was a light lunch - club sandwich served with chips, and nachos. Both plates were huge and very tasty, chicken in the sandwich was juicy and the bacon was lovely and crispy, and the chips were soooo good! Don't think we will need much for tea! Lovely smiley service as well 🙂

Absolutely wonderful! Music, atmosphere, staff and food. ***** 5 stars. The food was absolutely outstanding and the staff (especially the Scouse female, apologies, we forgot to ask for your name) we're super friendly and welcoming. We will be back and recommend. Thank you

We were staying on citadel road and after a long journey to Plymouth this was the first pub we came across...and what a find. Staff were helpful and friendly. Mix of locals and visitors We ordered from the specials board and boy it didn't disappoint. Husband is northern and a coniseur of pies..he proclaimed best pie he'd had in long time! Must be good! Great value and enjoyable first night. Whether for food and or drinks would recommend and yes we returned and would return again

Perfect place for quality food, right on Plymouth Hoe, great friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here soon.

When Booking in to My Hotel. Mentioned I like Cask Conditioned Ales. Gypsy Moth. Was Suggested. Weather Not Good. Sheltered. Welcoming Pub. Nautical Theme. Very Atmospheric. Had Fine Cask Ale. Good Mix of Local & Visiting Tourists. Would Not Hesitate on Returning.

Always a regular spot when visiting Plymouth. Just drinks this time but food good too on past visits. Dog friendly which is a bonus.

Nice looking place but £10.20 for a large glass of wine?? A hot chocolate served & handed to me in a teacup! Hot choc machine not working so was just brown water! Dinner menus on the table instead of lunch so had to change order! unfortunately is was an awful experience and cost a fortune

After being taken over by new management, this pub has quickly become a beloved destination for me. Its inviting, cosy atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to visit with family and friends. The establishment's affiliation with the Three Crowns is evident through the hardworking and passionate staff and owners. I extend my heartfelt wishes for their continued success.

Dog friendly even treated my puppy to water and dog treats. Very accomidating! Will Deffo. Come again.

Meal and drinks were great, staff were wonderful, especially Charlotte who was a great host and lovely person to talk to. Definitely going to come back!

Waitress was fantastic and kept us up to date with our order and delays. Pub itself is lovely and the drinks are good. Sunday roast was horrible. The meat looked like it was kebab meat. The carrots were cut so thinly they looked like vegetable crisps. Gravy was good. Will jot revisit for a Sunday dinner.

Went here most nights for dinner when working in Plymouth last July Owners are fantastic and look after you Lovely clean warm and friendly pub Beer was spot on plenty on tap Food was really good worked my way through the menu If I go back to Plymouth this would be a place that I would definitely go back to

Thanks for the warm welcome, nice atmosphere and great food. Bailee particularly enjoyed her roast and all the attention. We shall definitely be returning x

Stayed a few times in the hotel next door . And it being the same brand as I stayed the weekend I was resistant to having the hotel food tired or tried again. So I went on the masterly journey of walking next door to the slightly intriguingly named “the Gypsy Moth” . Met with the most lovely “how are you my lovely” ( I’m a sucker for barmaids) where a very delightful barmaid taught her new protege. I went for steak and have to say it was a smashing success with a glass of the red . Recommend highly. Did get one more my loverly on paying the bill so all in all left happy.

Wonderful pub ambiance service and wow the food was lush. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area

The road was rough so I was stumbling along , suddenly I stumbled upon this pub. As I stumbled inside and reached the smart interesting bar,I realised almost instantly it was a Hidden Gem! After perusing the glittering bar selection I selected a real ale which was good. Then decided to visit the toilet facilities, stumbling of course, well...those facilities were a hidden gem too! All this excitement made me stumble even more . The welcoming bar lady helped me choose this nice whisky based short, it was partially hidden behind a bottle , guess what. It was truly a hidden gem! So tasty . I enjoyed a pleasant hour here then stumbled home

On a visit to some friends after a drive down from London.....And it was excellent. Great staff, great beers and a real local feel. Highly recommend all of the Tapas selection...thank you for looking after us, see ypu next time.

Great food, nice atmosphere and fantastic service, great Sunday lunch. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

We were a last minute group of 12 (10 adults and 2 children) and we reserved a table the day before. Was all set up and staff were warm and welcoming! We are a super meal with us all being fussy with different meats and sides! Totally well catered for! When the bill came we were so happy with the great price for honestly high end food!

Been here many times over the years and since Donna and her team have taken over and renamed it back to the Gipsy Moth they have given this great location of a pub a new lease of life with lovely decor in addition. Had food a couple of times which is very nice and and amazing selection of beers on offer which ensures it’s a regular meeting place for my friends and I on a Saturday lunchtime. Well worth a visit.

Went for Sunday lunch in the revamped and renamed Pub on the Hoe, they have done a good job with the revamp. Dinner was good value, desserts were a bit pricey (relative to the roast dinner). Team were friendly even though it was really busy. Good craft ale selection. We’ll be back!

As a foodie I’m pretty picky where my food comes from, how it’s cooked, where it’s sourced… so to have without question the best Mussels I’ve had in the northern hemisphere … is right up there … So to beat that is difficult… But When...

Just had a lovely lunch while visiting Plymouth for the day. Between us we had the goats cheese salad and fish & chips. Both lovely meals- freshly prepared. Great decor, friendly staff, fair prices. If we were picking fault- it was quiet and there was...

Great little pub, now renamed, excellent selection of spirits to savor, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff

Really enjoyed our experience here.. great menu, great food, served by attentive and friendly staff. Have eaten here for both lunch and dinner in the last couple of months and will be going again soon. Brilliant location, with only a couple of minutes walk from...

Booked a table for family get together on a Sunday. The Sunday roast was excellent, lots of veg and the meat was very tender. Service from Charlotte was first class.

We visited today for a roast dinner. We both ordered the beef. The waitress that served us was friendly and accommodating. The food arrived hot and delicious. There were additional side dishes if wanted but the main course for us was plentiful and satisfying. Definitely...

An extensive selection of lager and cider. A good selection of ale. Good wines. Busy and good food served with a smile. Better than what was there before.

After an extended closure the pub has recently reopened with new management who have done some interior refitting and most significantly changed the name back to ‘Gipsy Moth’ which it had several decades ago. The GM has its own new listing on TripAdvisor.

Just had an amazing meal. For the kitchen to deliver everything from a Burger to Tapas to Thai Curry so perfectly is a credit to their skill, that along with amazing service and bar staff what more could you ask for. Thank you Gipsy Moth...

Came in on a weekday just a little too late for lunch. Very helpful friendly woman behind the bar. Refitting of interior seems almost complete but scaffolding etc still in place for exterior work. As someone who as a child watched Chichester come ashore at...

We ate here as we had been before. We had a nice meal and a real ale on the Thursday night. Catch of the day was lovely. Nice chips and haddock with a crisp batter. We booked for the Friday evening and ended up next...

On Saturday we popped into Gypsy Moth for a drink.After which we decided to order food( only tapas). After a 45 min wait food finally arrived!!!!!! The people on the table next to us came in a little later and ordered food but had over...

We visited after the Gypsy Moth ( new name of pub) had been open two days, complete renovation from the old Hoe- apparently, as not been before. Warm welcome , waiting staff on the ball, friendly and knowledgeable, Kiwi waiter still there, loving his new...

Visited on Weds evening and everyone must have been having Fish 😬 Didn't have many alcoholic drinks available and then it was £5.25 for a pint of lager and £3.15 for a pint of coke. Closed the kitchen earlier than expected so no food available....

We needed to eat somewhere close to our accommodation as the weather was dreadful so we booked a table at this restaurant. Glad we did as it was very busy. We both had the catch of the day, which was haddock and beautifully cooked. There...

Terrific little pub just at the back of the Hoe. It's very comfortable and friendly. Very good bar staff who keep a very good pint of real ale. Always worth a visit.

Great pub to watch football and eat simple, good food. Very friendly staff. Nice layout with separate areas all with big screen TV.

The most inhospitable pub I have ever had the misfortune to visit. Being a frequent visitor to Plymouth over the last 35 years I’ve never encountered such an unwelcoming host.

Although it’s just across the road from the Hoe putting greens, it’s actually a bit off the beaten track. Convenient if you’re staying in one of the mass of nearby B&Bs. Closed for Covid and some long winded renovation and now revived. Can’t seem to...

We had a lovely meal 16oz steak homemade chips and watched the rugby, friendly staff and a good selection of beers on tap
