About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views

The China House in Plymouth is a country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

In 1768, William Cockworthy made the first hard porcelain produced in England In Plymouth. The porcelain was made from china clay, hence our name The China House. The building was first seen in a 1666 watercolour of Sutton Harbour painted by Sir Bernard Gromme and has been used for a variety of purposes, including a gun wharf and a hospital for ailing mariners.

The China House, a great stone-built warehouse dating to at least the mid-17th century, has a large dining area built on sturdy piles over the lapping waters of Plymouth Sound and views of the Barbican.

Always enjoy going to the China House, its such a fabulous building with great views across Sutton Harbour. It was a winters day today but I defy you to find a better place to sit outside and take in the view when the weather is warm and sunny. Both of us had the roast beef which was cooked nice and pink and beautifully tender. The vegetables and potatoes were plentiful and tasty, all in all a nice lunch in a great place.

Great location with lovely views, food good, if a little overpriced, good service bearing in mind how busy the place was. Need to ensure staff are fully aware what food is gluten free, would be good if they had a gluten free menu

Great food, lovely waitress, but was a bit disappointed with no ice, wine requested from menu not available or the special Rhubarb Gin not available from the advertised gains on the menu!! But otherwise would come back for the food and great views
