Run a pub in Plymouth?
Put yours on the list
If customers are welcome to bring food in, tell us and, once we've checked, we'll add your pub. A pub's own word counts as Confirmed. The same form updates a listing or takes a pub off.
The form is on GitHub and needs a free account. What you write there is public, so leave out personal phone numbers and email addresses. We check each pub before it goes on.
How we check
Confirmed
The pub has told us itself, or its own listing or a published guide says in writing, that outside food is welcome. Each card says where that comes from, and quotes and links it where it is written down.
Reported
A visitor says the landlord was happy for them to bring food in. Likely, but it rests on one account.
Worth asking
No kitchen and no word either way. Pubs without food often don't mind, but nobody has said so. Ask at the bar.
Policies change. A new landlord can end one, and a pub that starts serving food usually stops allowing outside food. Ask at the bar, or ring ahead, before you arrive with dinner.
Built from CAMRA's pub guide for Plymouth and Cornwall, the pubs' own listings, local guides, Tripadvisor and the Royal William Yard's pages, and checked on 3 October 2026. Facebook and Instagram pages could not be read. CAMRA covers pubs that sell real ale, so bars selling only keg or craft beer are under-represented. Where we have checked with a pub itself, its card says so; the others were not contacted.
