About The Fishermans Arms

On Lambhay St near Plymouth's old harbour, The Fishermans Arms is a family-run pub set slightly off the beaten track. The kitchen works from a British menu with an inventive twist, and the bar pours a selection of drinks on tap beyond the mainstream options. An open fire anchors one corner, with hot nuts served by it, and small seating areas hold games to play. The decor is busy but well thought out, with music playing through the room. Table service is offered by staff, and the pub takes walk-ins rather than reservations. It opens daily, giving a steady rhythm across the week. The harbour view completes the setting, visible from inside the pub itself.

    “I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here recently. The quality of the food was exceptional from start to finish. I was particularly impressed by how perfectly the seafood was prepared, especially the beautifully seared scallops and shrimp served with fresh greens. Everything felt fresh and carefully put together. The balance of flavors in the creamy mussel and potato dish was fantastic, and it was a pleasure to enjoy such a well-presented meal. I will certainly be returning soon.”

    “Amazing service and delicious food! I accidentally left my shoes at the restaurant, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They helped coordinate the collection, and I received my shoes back within just 1–2 days. Really appreciate their support and honesty. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place — great food and even better people. Definitely worth”
