The Edgcumbe Arms is one of those rare pubs where getting there is part of the experience. Sitting on the waterfront at Cremyll, at the gateway to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, this historic country pub looks back across the water towards Plymouth and is only a short ferry ride from the city. With centuries of history behind it, the Edgcumbe today combines everything you want from a traditional pub with one of the most distinctive settings in the area, welcoming walkers, families, visitors and Plymouth locals who fancy escaping across the water for a few hours.
Food is a huge part of what the Edgcumbe is known for, particularly its hugely popular Sunday carvery, alongside a well-stocked bar with properly kept real ales and plenty more besides. There are also six characterful en-suite rooms for anyone wanting to stay a little longer, while Mount Edgcumbe and the South West Coast Path are quite literally on the doorstep. Proudly describing itself as Plymouth’s Country Pub by the Sea, the Edgcumbe might technically sit on the Cornish side of the Tamar, but its connection with Plymouth runs right through everything it does.
MEP Systems is one of Plymouth’s leading independent engineering firms, specialising in the “unseen” essentials that make modern buildings work.

Whether it’s a high-profile commercial refurbishment like a Ferrari garage or essential work on local schools and housing, their highly skilled team is known for tackling technical challenges with a collaborative, “no-headache” approach.
What truly sets them apart is their commitment to cutting-edge technology and local heritage. Based in Estover, they are deeply rooted in the South West, taking on prestigious regional projects like the restoration of Fort Bovisand. By combining traditional engineering values with modern innovations like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and renewable energy systems, they help local businesses and developers create smarter, more efficient, and safer environments.
Born out of the unique challenges of the 2020 lockdown, Easy Cars Plymouth has rapidly grown from a small family venture into one of the city’s most trusted private hire services. While many competitors rely solely on automated algorithms, Easy Cars prides itself on “traditional values,” offering a personalised touch that makes every journey feel reliable and safe. With over 220,000 bookings under their belt, they have become a staple for Plymothians needing everything from a quick trip across town to a stress-free airport transfer.
The company balances this friendly, local feel with high-tech convenience. Their dedicated mobile app allows passengers to track their driver in real-time, get instant price estimates, and book vehicles with just a few taps. By focusing on punctuality, clean vehicles, and a fair pricing structure that often beats national ride-sharing apps, they have built a loyal community following that values a taxi service that actually knows the streets of Plymouth.
Adapt Graphics is a story of constant evolution, surviving and thriving in the creative industry for over 35 years. Since moving to Plymouth in 1997, they have transformed from a traditional technical print house into a vibrant, full-service design and digital studio. Operating from their 1,700 sq. ft. facility in Peverell, they act as a one-stop shop for local brands, handling everything from the first spark of a logo design to the final high-quality print of a brochure or large-scale banner.
The secret to their longevity is their name: they adapt. By investing heavily in the latest digital printing and finishing machinery, they’ve made professional-grade marketing accessible to businesses of all sizes, offering incredibly fast turnarounds without sacrificing quality. Whether you are an artist looking for gallery-standard fine art reproductions or a business owner needing a complete brand overhaul, their friendly, expert team provides a level of craftsmanship that only comes with decades of experience.
Wilful Beer is the bold new face of Plymouth’s craft beer scene, bringing a “no-nonsense” brewing philosophy to the heart of the city. Founded by lifelong friends with a deep pedigree in the brewing world, the company is on a mission to champion clean, bright, and hop-forward West Coast USA styles. Their mantra, “It’s Craft, Not Daft,” reflects their focus on high-quality ingredients and modern technology, like advanced hop cryogenics, to pack intense flavour into every pint without the “clutter” of overly trendy additives.
While their brewery is tucked away in South Brent, their influence is most felt at their vibrant taproom on Mutley Plain, which opened in late 2025. This social hub, along with its sister site The Cockleshell in Saltash, has quickly become a favorite for those who appreciate a perfectly served cask ale or a crisp, cold keg beer. By blending a sharp, modern brand with a welcoming “micropub” atmosphere, Wilful Beer is successfully proving that world-class brewing belongs right here in the South West.
Plymouth on Tap wouldn’t be what it is without the sponsors who get behind it and back the bigger ideas, so a huge thank you to every business that’s already supported the project and helped keep it moving. Your support helps cover the real costs of running it properly, and it means I can keep shining a light on Plymouth’s pubs, telling their stories, and giving the local hospitality scene the attention it deserves.
If you fancy putting your name behind something people actually care about, I’m always up for chatting about sponsorship for events like a pub crawl or the annual Plymouth’s Favourite Pub competition, which reached 6.9 million views on the Facebook page in 2025. Drop me a message and I’ll send over the options.
