"Earlier this year a new manager was appointed to manage this pub, it is my understanding that they previously managed the Savoy Spoons in Swindon, which is much larger than the Stannary. One of their first acts was to remove the Beer Bible, which real ale drinkers were able to make suggestions from and which showcased breweries by and large based in Devon. Shortly after it was removed I asked ther manager where the Beer Bible was and he replied unequivocally that it was being updated. Several months later and the Beer Bible remains conspicuous by its absence. Used as a verb the dictionary definition of updated is to add new information or to make corrections, therefore it is hard understand why the Beer Bible has in fact been binned, at least metaphorically, although for all I know it may have been binned physically. This was not a good start, however since then things have actually got worse. Despite myself and many other real ale drinkers having been reassured by the new manager that at the very least the Bays Brewery Devon Dumpling would always be on, it has not always been on and yesterday not only was it not on but there was apparantly none in the cellar. Given that there was no Devon Dumpling available and nothing of any note among the other real ales I departed, this is not the first time this happened in the recent past. The fact that the person who normally orders the real ale was on a well deserved holiday for a week is neither here nor there as the manager would have known they were going to be on leave and should have managed the situation, this state of affairs did not occur under the previous manager. However at the end of last week, with no Dumpling available, I noticed that Jail Ale was on and so ordered that. However as anyone who knows a ittle about real ale would have realised what was poured was NOT Jail Ale. I recognised the taste and immediately identified it as being Stag from the Exmoor Brewery. As I like Stag it was not a problem, however a real ale connaisseur I know ordered two pints of Jail Ale and quite rightly identified that it was not Jail Ale. For some reason the staff would not accept this person 's word and they left the pub, with their beer left largely untouched. The following day I emailed the manager to let them know that they had the wrong pub clip on. Did I get a response? Thanks? No, I received no reply whatsoever. Poor customer service and yes I was correct and it was Stag that was being sold. What happened was a clear breach of Criminal Law, specifically the Consumer Protection Act under the Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. This states it is a criminal offence to apply a false trade description to goods, or otherwise to supply goods which have been falsely described . In addition it is now clear that the real ale lines are not being cleaned properly and this is being noticed by increasing numbers of experienced real ale drinkers. Instead real ale drinkers are seemingly and doubtless unintentionally (I hope) being held in contempt. This is in stark contrast to families who frequent the pub with their children, some of whom scream at the top of their voices and throw their food on the floor. Why is there no sign stating Accompanied well behaved children are welcome. I am confident that Tim Martin is no Woke, so why can those in charge of children who ruin the atmosphere for everyone else not be brought to book with a friendly word?"

Visited here for lunch with friends, the food was fine, beer was good and the staff were friendly, no issues at all, one of the better Wetherspoons, well done.

After recent experiences at Wetherspoons, I have decided to avoid their establishments now. It seems that the company has lost its direction and now only caters to younger customers or those who are content with mediocrity and mistreatment. View menu

in today's time to try the new menu additions. the mixed chicken basket was so beautiful. the chicken was tender and not dry at all. the southern fried chicken is the best coating I've ever tried with regard to a south coating. the pint was perfectly cast by barman. will be back soon.

not sure that a wetherspoons should ever be referred to as a native, but that could be mine! I could not disturb to cook, so it took 1.5 miles to pub. couple pints and a tikka masala curry with a naan were the order of the day! very delicious. they can't beat the value and everything for a tenner. all the young present were very pleasant and friendly.

BZ, short for Bravo Zulu, is a naval term used to commend actions or performance. The Summerskills Brewery in Plymouth has a real ale named Bravo Zulu, expertly brewed by Norman. This ale is available at the Stannary Court throughout October, except during the Wetherspoon beer festival. The staff at the Stannary have done a commendable job keeping this ale and another called Devon Dumpling in good condition. Real ale enthusiasts should definitely try out the Stannary and these great ales. Cheers! View menu

Shocking service from bar staff and food service, bar staff was to busy talking in his mic then to listen to are order 3 times told him no ice, ice came in the drink asked for all food to be served together, they brang my friends before mine and my daughters, I asked for hers to be taken back to be called a lier by the server when I informed her we'd requested all food at the same time , she left with the food , 15 mins later my and my daughters arrived, while I was stood cutting my child's food she return again with my friends food and continued the argument saying she found it highly unlikely we'd requested it all to be brang together , she was very rude and was trying to be intimidating,...

My friends and I have been visiting this restaurant for our evening meal every Monday for a long time. The service has improved a great deal in recent times and it is now a real joy for the three of us every week. The food is delicious, excellent quality, nicely cooked and excellent value for money. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We are served very quickly now, never having to wait long at the counter and the meals arrive at our table very quickly. There is a lovely atmosphere at the Stannary Court which is an iconic reminder of our Plympton history with time-based decor and lovely pictures on the walls. We really enjoy our visits. A special mention to Ryan, a most charming, chee...
