Bull & Bush

Head down Belgrave Road towards the seafront and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to Torquay rather than existing for tourists. You'll notice the regulars immediately—they're the ones who know the barmaid's name and have their pint already poured before they ask. The Bull & Bush does what it does without fussing: decent ales, honest food at reasonable prices, and the sort of atmosphere where you can actually hear yourself think. It's the pub you'd go to on a Tuesday night, not because it's fashionable, but because it's reliable and genuinely welcoming.
