The winner of Cornwall CAMRA’s summer Pub of the Season is the wonderful ‘Front at Custom House Quay in the real ale capital of Cornwall.

Decorated as a cellar, literally built underneath a handy fish and chip shop, the ‘Front, abbreviated originally from the Waterfront, is welcoming to all ages of locals, visitors and boat enthusiasts. What better place to sit outside on a summer’s day with good ale in hand watching the maritime world go by!

“Pinty” points the way!

An impressive row of handpumps line the bar offering a changing range of real ales of all possible styles, including luscious dark and strong beers. Yum!

We were at the ‘Front on Saturday 8 November to present our well-deserved award of Pub of the Season, Summer 2025.

The certificate and compliments were presented by Cornwall CAMRA Pub Promotions & Awards Coordinator Dave Pedlar.

We had a good turnout of members from as far as Exeter in the east to St Just in the west, reflecting the popularity of this flagship pub. A good time was had by all.

Cheers, Steve Barber
