Local record
History of this pub
The White Rock Beefeater took its name from the surrounding White Rock industrial area and new housing on the edge of Paignton, off Long Road South near the Brixham Road. Torbay Weekly reports locals understand it was built around 2014 on the site of a former nightclub, alongside a 97-room Premier Inn. CAMRA called it more restaurant than pub, with booths and window seats, popular with locals as a steakhouse. After it closed on 10 September 2026 the freehold building went on the market with Christie & Co at £785,000.
Torbay Weekly reported the freehold for sale through Christie & Co at £785,000 in August 2026, with around 220 indoor covers, 60 patio seats and two flats. Its September report records closure on 10 September. A sale listing does not confirm a buyer or a reopening.
