This is a roomy and convivial foody pub with a great atmosphere and warm welcome. To the right of the front entrance is the former small public bar, now a snug where you can eat in peace or simply relax in comfy chairs. To the left, the former lounge is now the main bar and with a small drinking area, but mostly given up to tables for food. The area to the back of the pub serves as a further eating area, and can double as a function room. Through the patio doors to the back, there is a spacious beer garden beyond, much of which is under cover and with heaters for those chilly days. The three real ales offer variations within the St Austell range.
