A warm welcome awaits in this simple whitewashed cob building by the 12th century church, the oldest surviving pub of four that used to serve local quarry workers. There are two adjacent cosy bar rooms each with its own real fire, slate floor and granite bar front, and decorated with reproduction paintings of local scenes. Beyond these through a granite dividing wall is a more spartan games room hosting the dartboard and pool table. There is also a separate restaurant beyond and quality food plays a big part in the trade. Four cask beers are served around 4.2 to 4.4% ABV. Sitting as it does on the western flank of Bodmin Moor, it claims to be the highest pub in Cornwall, but is in fact the 9th highest at 689 feet (210m) in 2026, some 260 feet below the highest. For good weather there is a pleasant patio outside.
