Regional Manager's Thoughts The Crown and Sceptre is a community-based pub excellently positioned in one of the oldest settlements in South Devon. I am looking for an experienced wet-led publican who understands this market and is proficient in cask ale management; the pub has historically offered a good selection of real ales. The pub has previously hosted live music events in the function space. This should look to be reintroduced to increase revenue and drive footfall. Surrounding Area The Crown and Sceptre is situated in the affluent residential estate of St Marychurch in Torquay, Devon. St Marychurch is a charming suburb close to the delights of Babbacombe Bay and is a hotspot all year round with a choice of hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, self-catering apartments, and Devon cottages. The area is very popular with tourists with its delightful, pedestrianized precinct and with lots of attractions within easy walking distance. You’ll find lots of independently owned boutiques and family-run businesses here. St Mary church’s unique personality is why so many people fall in love with the place and visit.
