We had phoned ahead to arrange to stay in our motorhome in the car park and were pre-warned in a very friendly way that it was fish Friday - fish & chips/ scampi & fries or a vegan option. 

When we arrived we called in for an afternoon drink to find, to my great delight, that this is a “proper pub”. Flagstone floors, character features, good ales, friendly landlady, landlord & staff and friendly locals. 

On our return later for food the fish & chips was excellent - lovely crisp thin batter on a large portion of fish. My scampi were good too. The pub was in full swing. Lots of friendly laughing joking chatty locals. 

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Proper pub, great hosts, good food, good ales, friendly locals

Just popped in for a drink on the evening as food had stopped. Lovely atmosphere, great people and welcoming landlady. Had breakfast the following day which was very nice and plentiful. Stayed for free in their car park which was perfectly adequate 

Great stopover

Stoped here on a Sunday looking for a pup lunch, the barman almost apologised as they were only doing the Sunday Roast,, he didn’t need to as there was great choice, beef, pork, turkey, we both went for the Turkey , well when it arrived it was like a Christmas dinner just with our stuffing,

For the price you could not get better, the veg was a little soft but everything was very tasty,, thank you

Outstanding Sunday Roast

Great place great people enjoyed joining in with the quiz unfortunately we were to late for food but had a amazingly cheap breakfast in the morning. The choice of ciders and beer are great. The pub itself is very old and original will definitely be visiting again   Keep up the good work

Brilliant

Great room, comfortable  ,warm and all needs that required.Shower excellent  ,a fridge might have been useful. Wonderful views, friendly and helpful staff.
No evening meal so disappointed and packed breakfast package was not at all good , needs a piece of fruit and a healthy option.


Night out 

Stayed for free in the car park using our campervan. The staff were amazing, the food was great and the play park of the kids was brilliant. Highly recommend stoppping overnight here and enjoying the homemade food.

Proper, dog friendly pub!

This place could not have been more perfect, no WiFi, no phone signal, no tv in the pub , people talked! 
My wife and I were in desperate need of a break from the rat race and couldn’t believe how peaceful it was in the time we were there, we stayed 3 nights and would have stayed on had we not have had to return home for a 60th birthday,  from the wonderful Anna and Brian running the pub to the customers  and Sue who did our breakfast also ,  they all made us so welcome we were so lucky, 
It’s no frills kind of pub , but good honest hospitality, we ate there every night and enjoyed the food, plenty of it but don’t ask for desserts, they don’t have any, it’s a good 5 & 1/2 hours drive from us but we’re already planning our next trip , good base for St Ives or Penzance or any other spots in the area , nothing outside the pub in the way of shops , in the middle of nowhere kinda, good size car park across the road.
Seriously can’t wait to return for some more get away from it all break.

Going offline

We stayed across the road in our motorhome and went here for a few drinks and a meal.  Staff were really friendly.  I think the menu is possibly a different theme each night and we were there on the USA night.   We both had the burgers which were amazing, stacked with bacon, cheese and onion rings.   Very dog friendly which was great as we have 2 little dogs.

Fantastic burgers!

We booked a table for 2 for Christmas Eve evening.
Pub was packed.
Ordered food and waited an hour and a half for two disgusting meals.
No apology for the wait or anything.
I advise people to steer clear.
Sausages were as hard as rock and the rack of ribs cremated.

Avoid 

Really afraid to say this was a very disappointing experience, we waited an hour for our food, apparently our ticket hadn’t gone through but no one came to apologise or say anything - we only got the excuse that they were short staffed which is understandable but the service was awful. No one apologised for the wait or told us what was happening. The food was okay but the potatoes were burned and the Yorkshire puddings were not homemade unlike everyone else’s meals around us. I hope that the staff can have some training in customer service.  Please treat your staff better and ensure that they are not unable to cope with the amount of orders on.
