Local record

History of this pub

The Marsh Mills Beefeater stood on Plymouth Road at Crabtree, on the eastern edge of Plymouth. Crabtree began as a small village on the old coaching route around the head of the Plym estuary, where travellers stopped before or after crossing the marshland known as Marsh Mills, though the area has since been heavily built over around the huge roundabout and the A38 flyover. CAMRA describes a large pub and restaurant beside the Premier Inn Plymouth East, with up to three real ales such as St Austell Proper Job, an outdoor children's play area and a function room. CAMRA lists it as closed long-term from May 2026.
