Where we come

Plymouth out to Exeter and Exmouth, across to Torbay, down through the South Hams and over the Tamar into Cornwall. 60 towns and villages, and the price is the same in all of them.

Travel is included. All of it.

There is no mileage charge and no minimum spend for coming further. A party in Exmouth costs the same as a party at the end of our own road.

That only works because we are honest about the limits. At the far end of the patch we can realistically only run one party a day, so those Saturdays go early. And if you are outside the list below, ring us before assuming the answer is no. We travel up to about seventy miles for the right job, and we would rather have the conversation than have you not ask.

  • 60 towns and villages on the regular run
  • £0 added for mileage, anywhere on the list
  • 70 miles is roughly as far as we will go for the right job
  • 1hr is the longest drive on the list, out to Exeter and Exmouth

The nine patches

Each one has its own page with local detail: the sort of halls round there, what tends to get booked, and anything worth knowing about getting to you.

Plymouth

on the doorstep from Plymouth. Local.

This is home. We are based in Plymstock, the props live here, and Plymouth is the one place we can often fit a party in at short notice.

  • Plymouth
  • Plymstock
  • Plympton
  • Devonport
  • Stoke
  • Mutley
  • Crownhill
  • Derriford
  • Estover
  • Southway
  • Eggbuckland
  • Hooe
  • Turnchapel

Saltash, Torpoint and South East Cornwall

5 to 26 miles from Plymouth. 15 to 50 minutes.

Over the Tamar and up the valley. Saltash and Torpoint are barely further than the far side of Plymouth; Looe and Launceston are a proper run and we plan for it.

  • Saltash
  • Torpoint
  • Callington
  • Calstock
  • Gunnislake
  • Looe
  • Launceston

Ivybridge and the South Hams

6 to 14 miles from Plymouth. 15 to 30 minutes.

Straight out along the A379 and the A38. Close enough that we can be with you inside half an hour.

  • Ivybridge
  • Modbury
  • Yealmpton
  • Brixton
  • Wembury
  • Holbeton
  • Noss Mayo
  • Newton Ferrers

Tavistock and the Tamar Valley

9 to 18 miles from Plymouth. 20 to 40 minutes.

Up over the moor road or round by Bere Alston. Moorland halls are beautiful and cold, so we arrive early and get the heating on before anyone else turns up.

  • Tavistock
  • Yelverton
  • Horrabridge
  • Mary Tavy
  • Princetown
  • Bere Alston
  • Bere Ferrers

Kingsbridge and Salcombe

21 to 26 miles from Plymouth. 40 to 55 minutes.

Down the estuary. A longer run, so we plan it properly rather than rush it.

  • Kingsbridge
  • Salcombe
  • Malborough
  • West Alvington

Totnes, Ashburton and Buckfastleigh

18 to 32 miles from Plymouth. 30 to 50 minutes.

Up the A38 and off at the Buckfastleigh turn. Some of the nicest rooms we get to work in are along this stretch.

  • Totnes
  • Dartington
  • Buckfastleigh
  • South Brent
  • Ashburton
  • Bovey Tracey

Torquay and Paignton

30 to 32 miles from Plymouth. About an hour.

Across to the bay. About an hour door to door, and a run we are glad to make all year rather than only in the season.

  • Torquay
  • Paignton
  • Brixham
  • Babbacombe
  • Preston

Exeter

44 miles from Plymouth. About an hour.

The far end of our patch. Straight up the A38 and set up long before the first guest arrives.

  • Exeter
  • Exminster
  • Topsham
  • Alphington
  • Pinhoe

Exmouth and Dawlish

39 to 47 miles from Plymouth. About an hour.

The far side of the Exe, and the longest run we make. Still very much on the list.

  • Exmouth
  • Dawlish
  • Teignmouth
  • Starcross
  • Lympstone
