Ignore the previous review… he sounds stuck up. If you are looking for somewhere good to have a few beers and a good meal stop looking… this is it. I came here on the recommendation of someone I met in the hotel bar, all I wanted was a good pub meal and a few beers. I have been on a road trip all around the UK and have eaten at many pubs on the way around… and this is by far and wide the best pub meal I have had anywhere in the UK. Good food, good drinks, prompt and friendly staff… what more can you ask for? Do yourself a favour and give it a go, I don’t think you could be disappointed.

If you look at my other reviews, you see I am a bit of a pub aficionado, especially when it relates to real ale. I decided to pop into the Gipsy Moth, as it seemed to be one of the only hostelries that served cask ale in Plymouth. From the outside the pub looks lovely and the interior has a lot of potential, however it was quite dirty on my visit. This may be to do with arriving at the end of an obviously busy Sunday, where lots of food was being served, however, many tables had not been cleared and those that had been had not been wiped sufficiently. I was greeted by a lovely member of bar staff, who looked somewhat overworked, as I had had to wait for 5 minutes or so to get served. There was a gentleman working on the bar as well but he ignored me when I was waiting and went off to serve another customer with cocktails, probably because they were local and I was not. I had a pint of Sharp's Sea Fury. It was fine, and at £5.20 not unreasonable given I live in the south east of England, however, it did not meet my normal cask ale standard. All in all, a good pub with lots of potential, but should try harder.

A nice pub but food wasn't available at 8.40 on a Monday evening which was irritating. Travelling solo for work, I've stopped over in the crown plaza hotel next door and decided to pop out for a pint and some dinner. The atmosphere is great with a nautical theme typical of the Plymouth location. The Hoe is immediately outside the front of the pub and the barbican a short walk. Internally the pub is split into different levels and areas making it ideal for private gatherings or group tables. I'll definitely come back in the future but will call before to check that food is on. For info the menu has a seafood medly, peppered chicken with rice and veg, scallops with mash. Each dish is £18. The pint was well kept and was £5.40.

The best service Excellent food We will come back! We recommend 100%

Fantastic home cooked meals. Decent size portions. Really attentive staff, we'll return for sure.

Had a leaving do here with buffet. Beautiful pub. Fantastic staff. Would highly recommend! Thankyou for a lovely night all!

My family from America were visiting Plymouth for the first time and stayed at the Crowne Plaza. The obvious choice to chill out and have a drink after an eventful day was the Gypsy Moth. I hadn’t been in there for years and it was owned by someone else I assume when I was. Just like everyone says, the atmosphere is great, nice classic British pub vibes. Staff were extremely nice and personable. In America, we’re very particular about our chili cheese dogs. This is an important food item for us and everyone makes them a little differently. My Dad and I got one here and coming from my very American dad he says, “one of the best chili cheese dogs I’ve ever had”. That’s a big statement Gypsy Moth! Thanks and keep up the good work.

Had a great evening meal here mid week. Full menu was available, staff were very attentive. Great food, stocked bar with a great variety. Very nice place to come
