The Fortescue

You'll find yourself settling into one of those afternoons that stretches well into evening at this Mutley Plain stalwart. The Fortescue does exactly what a good neighbourhood pub should - serves up hearty plates of fish and chips, Sunday roasts that actually fill you up, and pints that don't cost a mortgage payment. The place gets properly busy during football matches, but there's usually space to claim a corner table if you're after something more civilised. What sets it apart from other Greene King pubs is the consistency - the kitchen doesn't phone it in, and the staff actually seem to care about whether you're having a decent time. It's the sort of place where Mutley locals pop in for a quick one after work and emerge three hours later wondering where the evening went.
