r/plymouth

Not been in Plymouth since I left over a decade ago after uni. Not wanting a full English, gotta be carb-y and a good coffee or two, and staying in a Premier Inn, decided not to pay for breakfast because I can get it from somewhere else.

Where would be good? I’m thinking
- Caffeine Club (don’t know what they have)
- Spoons on union street for toast and porridge
- Tesco croissants and some sweets
- Instant porridge in the hotel room and a handful of dates - this is what I would make at home before a long morning ride or run

Anyone in Plymouth with a lathe I could use? Looking to make a couple prototypes our of polythene for feeding tubes into a cutting machine.

hello everyone. recently i've been planning and creating a food van. its been going really well so far, but i just can't for the life of me make a decision on the final name. this is a last of the final names i have come up with! (for context it is a filipino food van)

Which of these would make you most likely to try it?

• Manila Street
• Adobo House
• Smoke & Soy
• Island Flame
• UBE
• Pacific Bowl Co.

i am also open for any suggestions by you guys!

thank you for giving me your time in reading and/or replying to this!

Hi everyone! My husband and I are traveling to Plymouth in August of this year! We’re looking for recommendations on cool things to do and see. We’ll be in London for a few days prior, so we’ll likely be ready for more chill things to do.

Do you just attend pride events? I probably could but I'm more introvert and closeted myself and I feel the same with clubs or similar places.

Dating apps for friends don't work I guess, friend finding apps are mostly straight guys.

So how do you actually make friends? I live just outside Plymouth although I work there therefore I don't even live anywhere near an LGBT community

This is the most Karen thing I'll ever do, but sod it.

I used to live near the north circular in London (one of the busiest roads in the city) and the noise somehow pales in comparison to the FUCKING CONSTANT REVVING of loud motorbikes in and around Plymouth city centre.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TINY DICK PIECES OF SHIT.

Listen I've met some of the bikers that hang around the barbican and they seem like nice folks. So maybe it's just young men fucking around. But seriously it's so irritating and it makes me want to strangle them

If you wish to vote tactically tomorrow, you can find polling predictions by ward at this link.

We went to the barbican and wandered yet to be seen streets nooks and alley's daughter wanted me to try a chipper she had been impressed by (harbourside) of course we forgot every man and his dog would be scarfing down fish n chips today meaning rushed service, big queues and possibly not the best chips due to oil fryers taking a pounding and not necessarily heating properly with so many cold plunges of raw chips..

So we went hungry and thought we'd ask the collective plymouth / Borg mind.

Thing is I've been spoilt for good fish n chips in small Scottish villages as a kid so tend to turn my nose up at inland offerings, so being back on the coast, I'm keen to see what's fresh and good, you have a lot of chippies Plymouth 🤷 so I don't know where to start.

I don't eat cod (tasteless) love haddock, BUT I tend to eat haddock related family (a lot of) and mackerel which I am crackers for, thus looking for catch variety beyond the 2 mains.

Chips? ..good non pale, preferably dripping fried but unlikely here maybe?

And scraps? ..because if I'm going to jump off the dietary "martyr" track for some fast food, I'd prefer it's second to none, going the whole hog and not merely discovered after several years of bad chippie experience.I

Good honest chippie preferences along those lines anyone? variety within the menu, quality and value, homemade pies a bonus? (Love a pukka pie, but love better pies if available)

Asking too much these days?

Don’t know why I waited so long to go. Even if you aren’t vegan, that shawarma wrap with the garlic parsley fries is top tier. Really nice atmosphere as well. Any other places around the Barbican/town with a similar kind of vibe?
