The
Review.
- Everyone,
especially visiting and local sailors, feels at
home in this famous old bar - which is choc-a-bloc
with genuine maritime artefacts such as charts,
tide tables, ships' clocks, compasses, lanterns,
pennants et al - but it's the Bushes family's
hospitality that makes it really special. Since
Richard and Eileen took on the bar in 1973 it's
been "home from home" for regular visitors
to Baltimore, for whom a late morning call is
de rigeur (in order to collect the ordered newspapers
that are rolled up and stacked in the bar window
each day). Now there's a new generation of Bushes
involved with the business, so all is humming
nicely. Simple, homely bar food starts early in
the day with tea and coffee from 9.30, moving
on to home-made soups and a range of sandwiches
including home-cooked meats (ham, roast beef,
corned beef), salmon, smoked mackerel or - the
most popular by far - open crab sandwiches, served
with home-baked brown bread. And all at a fiver
or less. This is a terrific pub, at any time of
year, and a very worthy recipient of our Jemeson
Pub of the Year Award.
