The Jack Rabbit Vintage Inn in Plymouth

Excellent pub great time with the fam

5/5 – A Fantastic Dining Experience at The Jack Rabbit, Plymouth I’ve visited The Jack Rabbit twice now—once back in 2024 and again just this past weekend—and both times have been nothing short of excellent. On my first visit, I had the pork belly, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavour. This time, I went for the hoisin duck pizza, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, well-balanced, and generous in portion. The highlight for me, though, has to be the mango and passionfruit pavlova. The fresh mango cuts beautifully through the sweetness of the meringue—it's truly to die for! Service was top-notch, friendly, and efficient. I was glad I preordered, as the place filled up quickly—and it’s easy to see why. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of cosy and lively. Highly recommend

While staying in travel lodge called in for food and drink after visiting husband in derriford staff friendly made to feel very welcome very much appreciated with been on my own thank you

7 small pieces calamari, small half full pot custard not enough to the full pudding. Very disappointed AGAIN! Especially for prices

Every time I'm in the area I try to get in here, food is impeccable, staff are fantastic and it's just a nice cosy little place to eat. Massive fan. 10/10

Our favourite local for food and a drink in the sunshine. Lovely outdoor area and dogs allowed is a bonus.

Great food and better service! The team at the Jack rabbit have been great.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. 5/5

I was dubious to eat here because it is a chain pub but the burger I had was sensational, really good! A great selection of draft beer. The reason I am not giving 5 stars was because I enjoyed my main so much that I decided to get a dessert. I got the sticky toffee pudding and it was dreadful and not cheap either. Just a bit of bland sponge with some overly sweet sauce and custard so thin a primary school canteen would be ashamed of it. Such a shame to end my meal that way

What a lovely place, come here frequently with family and friends. The service is always top notch

A very friendly and welcoming establishment, the staff are attentive, the food delicious warm and catered to my dietary requirements. The access was great for my disabled mum, who has issues with her mobility and the staff were friendly and took their time with us, bearing mind my 2 sons who's choice of food changed every 2 seconds. A very tidy and clean pub which is clearly well run where the staff take pride in their work.

We had a fantastic dinner at The Jack Rabbit over the weekend. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We were staying at the Travelodge next door, as my father-in-law had undergone heart surgery at Derriford Hospital last Friday. This lovely dining experience really helped lift my wife’s spirits during a tough time. Thank you all—keep up the great work!

Craig was amazing, really love my Time there

lovely place! the calamari and lasagnia were delicious and a great selection of drinks available, really enjoyable time here

Excellent service with food Really Happy KIM was amazing, she helped us to pick our dish food was hot and on time Jack Rabbit have best staff KIM

Neat and welcoming atmosphere with comfortable seats and great food. Sunday roast is a must.

My beef was perfect, but would have liked more gravy. My wife's turkey was very very dry. Was it left too long under the pass? I felt the staff were good and friendly however they were using the fire door to serve people outside in thel courtyard. This ment the door was kept being left open. My wife,who had just come out of hospital, was left feeling cold as she was trying to eat her meal. The staff would not let the public use this door. I did mention the problem to one of the servers, but nothing was done about it. Overall our experience was ok. But looking at your prices and prices of your competitors , your at the higher end, I was expecting a much better experience.

Think it's under new management since I went a while ago. Really quite impressed, will be going back soon

Absorlutely delicious roast beef dinner and the fruit crumble with custard was amazing too 👌

Nice spot for day time drink or lunch. Has a nice outdoor area. Food was lovely, and quite a big lunch. Service was nice and friendly. Price was average.

Food was amazing served hot and fresh ! and all staff are lovely and welcoming would definitely recommend!

Top location generally recommended... top food and booze always respected to help regardless of on shift staff - they are all good .... thanks all been a pleasure as customer :)

Nice staff, well maintained and nicely styled pub. Attention to detail on allergies/intolerance was faultless, and there was a reasonable choice of gluten free options. Food was very well cooked and presented. Service was really very slow, but I suspect out server may be fairly new to role and the pub was reasonably busy. Overall, I'd definately return if I'm in the area again.

Family get together at the Rabbit - Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and tasty food. Well worth a visit - highly recommended. 10/10

Great menu and service. Would definitely recommend. Would advise booking ahead as it does get busy. Excellent choice of menu again this time too. Excellent service as always. The triple cooked chips are the best.

Very good value and handy for waiting for people coming from derriford Hospital

Easter Monday, lunchtime very relaxing, Food, drink and service all excellent.

Lauren and layla have been fantastic lovely service and friendly service credit to the business

My partner and I came for Sunday lunch, we both ordered the trio roast. The roast beef was outstanding as were the roast potatoes, however the belly pork wasn’t great and the parsnips and carrots were a little undercooked. Our server was called Thom and he was great, very quick with anything we requested. It was quite busy due to it being Easter Sunday, so perhaps why the veg was slightly undercooked, so will take this into consideration. Will more than likely return 😊

We go regularly it's a great place but you need to book a fair time in advance.

Beers rather expensive if you enjoy an ipa ! Atlantic removed £5.20 a pt replaced by Beavertown at £6.20 pt . Both nice but a lot of difference in price .

Nice pub food. Goodish selection of beer. Always like the atmosphere in here though.

Booked the Jack Rabbit for a dual Birthday celebration. We arrived a little early but shown to our table quickly and efficiently. Table was for 6 adults and 3 children. Our server Joseph was excellent and friendly. The food was great and we all enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great pub to meet up with friends

Tom is always attentive to all our need goes above and beyond

Food was great, service cheerfully delivered

Tom has been my server for as long as I have been going to the Jack Rabbit he is always cheerful and happy to help with anything as I find some things difficult

I popped into the busy Jack Rabbit for lunch yesterday and was lucky to be shown to a good table despite not having a reservation. It is a wonderful place to sit, rest and have a meal. The atmosphere is pleasantly comfortable with warm furnishings, quiet conversations and quaint decorations that had diners emanating smiles and gentle, appreciative nods to the attentive staff. A special word of thanks to Debra who took my order (with a good nod of approval) of the recommended pie and a pint of beer. It lifted my expectations, and I was not one bit disappointed. I shall return again....till then, thank you. 5 Stars!

Had a great experience here before, but updating the review as we came again and it's a fantastic place. We were incredibly well looked after by a chap called Glenn who was great. Throughly recommend!

Lunch for mums birthday next week and Mothers day. Was lovely. Some food could have been hotter but that may only be preference. Service with a smile from Thom as always!

Always great food and great service. 10/10.

really lovely staff and georgous food

I ordered the sea bass fillets and whilst the food was quite tasty it was not hot . I have eaten here on three occasions now and this is the second time the food has not been hot . I don’t know if the dish I had is microwaved as the skin on the fish wasn’t crispy as a fillet should be . The prawn and white wine sauce was ok but again it was luke warm . It could have been such a lovely dish if it had all been hot

Recommend, Lillie was fantastic 👏 looked after us, food is very good and a good menu, will definitely be going back, it's got to say something when you need to book on a Monday! This is what a well run pub looks like 👍

We went there for Mothers day. The food was good and the service was excellent, my roast potatoes tasted very warmed up and my crumble had plastic in it despite this our waitress Katie was extremely professional and polite and made us feel that the restaurant is worth another visit.

Excellent service from Katie could not fault her

Excellent food good friendly service - can get a bit noisy - but others would say that just adds to the atmosphere. Busy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - try mid-week.

Had a lovely Mothers Day Meal today. The food was lovely and our waitress Lucy was lovely. Despite being exceptionally busy the food was lovely and service Lucy provided was a credit to the Jack Rabbit. We will most certainly be back. Thank you. xx

We've been visiting the "Jack Rabbit" for years now and have always had a good experience. As a family we decided to treat our Mum here for Mother's day. Upon arrival the restaurant is always nice and welcoming. After sitting down we ordered from the set menu which had a good amount of variety and was reasonable priced. The food was lovely can't fault it along with good portion size. The service as always is top notch friendly and fast where nothing was too much trouble. No matter the server we've had they've always been great. On this particular visit our server was "Katie".

Debbie's service great this morning. Lovely breakfast

My elderly dad was at the jack rabbit last night for a bite to eat and a drink after our mum got taken ill , dad was out to celebrate mum waking up yesterday, he said the atmosphere was wonderful & everyone was smiling and helpful. But further more his lovely waitress Terri (I hope this is correct dad is 86) paid for his bill. Dad has had such a rough time and this has restored my faith in humanity. What a lovely pub and even lovelier staff. Thankyou ever so much.

Lovely place. Glenn in particular was incredibly helpful when we visited, and offered a lot of assistance. Great food and service.

Amazing Pub. Go to whenever I'm in the area. Food is lovely. Excellent beer selection. The server Glenn was very friendly and willing to go the extra mile to help with our complex order.

Great food and atmosphere, quick service on the bar side from lauren, good selection of drinks and gluten free food choices

Stayed at Travelodge for the night and ate here in the evening. Excellent food and service (from Katie) - will definitely return ☺️

While visiting family in Plymouth, we visited the Jack Rabbit several times. The food was good, and the service was great thanks to our server Thom. He quickly seated us, remembered our drink preferences and was very attentive.

Amazing service today, Thom, our waiter, was very welcoming and friendly😀 was always on the ball with his service, if we came again we hope he serves us again!

Absolutely amazing service from lauren and food was great, always book when coming here as it is so busy.

Soggy and really greasy very disappointed as not cheap

We recently visited Plymouth to see my partner’s dad in hospital and stayed at the Travelodge just opposite the Jack Rabbit. It’s a beautiful little pub with a lovely interior and exterior, which initially drew us in for a quick drink. However, our experience was unfortunately let down by the attitude of some of the staff. When we first arrived, we were trying to find our way to the garden and accidentally walked towards the restaurant area. Instead of being kindly redirected, we were abruptly told not to go any further and were pointed towards the garden without much courtesy. It felt unnecessarily sharp, especially as we were just trying to find our way. Later, we returned and sat inside to enjoy the darts final on TV. Although the pub closes at 11pm, the TV was turned off without any warning at 10:45pm, despite us clearly watching it. The waitress then began noisily clearing up around us, which gave the impression we were being rushed out. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and we finished our drinks quickly so as not to overstay. That said, the male bartender who served us was very friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. Perhaps the waitress was having a bad day, but overall the experience felt quite unwelcoming, which was disappointing given how lovely the venue itself is.

Food was excellent. The service was appalling. People left for 15mins at a time just to be seated. Waited over 30 minutes just for drinks.....a pint and a lemonade!

Enjoy visiting this place. My wife and I have been many times and not been disappointed.

Shared some bits off the bar menu at this lovely chilled snug pub with the husband recently, lovely food lovely atmosphere, friendly vibes :)

Restaurant area was nice & clean. Server did ask another staff member a question re drink she could not answer. Everything else abysmal. Couldn’t book time wanted but next time was available. People in front were told restaurant was fully booked and left but there were numerous empty tables throughout our time. It took 35 minutes for a plate of olives to appear. We then waited 20 minutes for main meal (salad & skewer). When it arrived food was tepid (salad had halloumi) which spoilt the taste. Server did ask if all ok but didn’t see the point of saying anything as we had waited so long didn’t have time to wait for anything else. Noted bar meals seemed to be coming out quicker. The only quick response was paying the bill. Can only assume there was a lack of staff which if explained at the beginning takes away some of the annoyance. Not planning a return trip anytime.

Dog friendly. Good food. Nice atmosphere

Excellent atmosphere and service. I dropped 1 star for the food as the plates were cold which made the fantastic sauce on my sea bass cold.

Really poor service. Long wait to be seated then nobody to take the order. Eventually left without ordering

We love a Sunday roast at The Jack Rabbit. Food is delicious and plenty of it. Great value for money. The service is always excellent - we were served by Thom today, and he was polite, friendly and attentive. Recommend The Jack Rabbit for all occasions.

Great evening for a birthday meal. Amazing food & good portions. Will definitely visit again 😊

Very friendly people dog friendly nice coffee we stayed at the Travelodge opposite

Lovely sea bass nicely cooked comfortably full but still room for the mini pudding and coffee - generally good value

Food was great, staff were lovely

Staying at the Travelodge next door for work and came in for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Craig and team gave a warm welcome on arrival. Two courses last night for dinner were superb, well presented and great food. Breakfast this morning was one of the best I’ve had in a while! Well done look forward to the next time I’m in town, will definitely be returning.

Popped into the jack rabbit today for some lunch with my boss and they had a new menu out today so I tried the sweet potato katsu curry. Beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Will definitely be returning. Great service too by all the team.

Very welcoming and great service very helpful and friendly. The food was presented lovely and cooked to perfection. The menu had a lot to choose from something for everyone. Would certainly recommend the steaks cooked exactly how we liked it and literally melted in the mouth. Highly recommend

A party of 9 of us booked for lunch. Some of us are a bit fussy and wanted a couple of changes to our order. The food came out,all correct and absolutely delicious. We couldn't fault it,and the waitress was very good. Very pleasant and helpful. One of the best roast dinners that I've had in a restaurant. I would happily return.

Ryan ,Dan thank you so much for a fantastic morning celebrating my birthday , breakfast was delicious and the customer service was excellent.

An attractive dining area. The pie of the day was overpriced in my opinion. Fancier food was on offer.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Easy to park. Food was good, portions could have been bigger

Excellent visit on Saturday fabulous food and service we will be back

Excellent food, friendly service, great atmosphere with good choice of music 🎶

Very pleasant ambiance with a subtle aroma of open fires giving a warm cozy feel. The restaurant is spacious and has a sophisticated old world charm. It was very busy on valentines evening. The staff were pleasant and attentive with our meals served in a reasonable time. The food was delicious and our friends thoroughly enjoyed the their meals and venue having not visited previously..

Lovely restful interior. Warm fire. Good service despite being busy. Lovely food.

Beautiful evening enjoyed by all. Welcomed and walked to the table by Thom and introduced to our server Elena. Was explained the soup and pie of the day. Drink order taken swiftly and delivered to our table by Thom who knew who ordered what despite not taking the order! How?! We had a lovely evening and upon leaving we thanked Thom once again. Elena was splendid.

Came to visit a friend in Plymouth, they took me to their favourite pub (the Jack Rabbit) and I loved it! The food was great, the staff were lovely and the place just looks awesome too.

Visited last week & had a meal here. The food was great but the service was outstanding. Our server Deb really went the extra mile! Thanks so much Deb!

Great lunch at the jack today! Craig found us a table even though we hadn't booked and the place was rammed! Great job! See you soon!

sunday roast was great and the waitress Debra was lovely , thankyou for being so friendly to my son x

Had a very good evening, was made to welcome from the moment we came in. Food was lovely and the service is excellent. Can't wait to come back.

My favourite restaurant and bar in all of Plymouth

Beautifully refurbished. Warm and welcoming team. Fantastic new menu.

Great meal and service , our only complaint we would have had if we didn’t have a voucher it would have been on the expensive side

Sadly I wasn't impressed with the meal I received on Sunday nor the service. I've had many good meals here and left disappointed.

I had guests from Poland that were extremly happy with this place. Amazing customer service and the food was out of this world. I reccommed this restaurant to everyone ,definetly will visit again .

Great attentive staff. Good atmosphere.

Great staff. Low grade food supplier though. Greenking and harvester do much better quality food and for half the price. Disappointing quality for a very high price.

Too expensive for what it is. Food price and quality was poor. At the end of the day it’s just a pub. Service on the other hand was good.

Food is very expensive for what it is. Service can be hit and miss. Atmosphere is nice in winter when fires are burning.

Understaffed with angry aggressive unhelpful manager (Glenn)…..won’t be rushing back

Overall a very good experience.
