The Britannia Inn - JD Wetherspoon

You know what you're getting when you walk into this Milehouse outpost of the Wetherspoon empire, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. The Britannia delivers on all the usual promises: proper breakfast from 8am (those hash browns hit different when you're nursing yesterday's regrets), pints that won't bankrupt you, and curry club Thursday that locals genuinely rate. The pub itself is classic 'Spoons fare – spacious, no-nonsense, with that familiar mix of students, pensioners, and anyone else who appreciates good value over Instagram-worthy interiors. Staff keep the place ticking along nicely, and while you're not exactly in Plymouth's most glamorous postcode, it's handy if you're already knocking about Milehouse or fancy a cheap feed without the city centre crowds.
