About The Powder Monkey

The Powder Monkey is a great Pub /Restaurant located in the lovely seaside town of Exmouth, Devon

The Powder Monkey Description

Perfect for families, large groups /parties and when on a night out, and great food with a great selection of drinks including a variety of guest ales (Cask Marque Accredited)

Along with regular events and don’t forget our selection of club nights.

The name of this Wetherspoon pub recalls Nancy Perriam, who lived in nearby Tower Street and was a powder monkey. A powder monkey was naval slang for boys - and in this case Nancy - who filled shells and cartridges with gunpowder on board ships of war.

Nancy lived in nearby Tower Street until 1865, when she died in her 98th year. As well as sewing shirts and sails, Nancy acted as a powder monkey, working alongside the gunners on board the Crescent and the Orion. Nancy Perriam's career was unusual. While female sailors were not unknown, they usually went to sea initially in male disguise.

Superb deals, good location and it lets you take your dog in the garden. I was refused this at Torquay Witherspoon. I have been to the PM 4 times this week. Good value and good real ales. Top dog .Will be back .

Lovely pub situated in the very charming town of exmouth, if your looking for no thrills value for your money pub grub, this place is definitely worth a visit

It is rare that we eat out in pubs or restaurants so this was a very positive experience, service at the bar was quick, the food we ordered was served to us in half the time stated and was A*. Drinks with the food, which if we had known we wouldn't have ordered drinks beforehand but that was our mess up. The pub was well lit inside and out and despite a rather noisy crowd a fantastic time was had and we would highly recommend this pub.

Very friendly Staff, food very good for the price, better than some places that charge twice as much

User

Used the app to order. 2 minutes later our drinks arrived! My chicken was slightly overcooked but the rest of the meal was lovely. You never expect perfection from a Wetherspoons anyway. Will go there again as it's handy from off the bus or train.

User

The food was very good. They seemed to be a little short staffed and I used the downstairs (disabled) toilet and that was the only bit that stops me giving it a 5. It was tatty, broken toilet tissue holder, gave the impression of being dirty. Previous customer hadn't flushed & floor around toilet had puddle of urine.

User

The downside is having to walk through the smoking area to gain entry to the premises.

User

Nice pub, friendly staff, hope the barmaid got rid of her hiccups, l suggested a remedy, ex barmaid myself! Food was quick hot and tasty, only dropped a star because the staff couldn't answer my question about the one day tax drop.

But really enjoyed our visit, thank you �

Lovely meal, friendly staff and great about allergies. We don't eat out often but Weatherspoons pubs are somewhere we feel confident to visit as a family a with severe food allergies. It is a shame the couple who sat near us tainted the atmosphere, but that is in no way a reflection on the pub itself.

User

Good food fast friendly service foods not the best quality but this is a Wetherspoon pub so for what you pay, you can't fault it!!

User

Food good drinks very good only fault tables not cleaned, but you can’t beat it for price and quality.

User

Food was litter not nice at all! Service was just as bad very rude and miserable, will not be coming back again any time soon

User

As with most Wetherspoons now,, the tables needed clearing. I had to wipe our table down as it was dirty. My chips were cold!!! The young staff were very nice, but the place needs a real good clean

User

Usually okay but yesterday's visit the service was appalling, wrong food given to me and when I informed them of this it was a "tough sh*t" attitude. Cold toast, barely cooked snotty egg and hash browns tasting like fish.

User

Ordered food came out wrong took it back all they done was scrap food off and sent it back so sent it back for fresh not good at all
