Around 1km north of St Issey village, the Pickwick Inn & Restaurant, to give it its full title, is a pub mainly aimed at 'the season'. It is a large, family-friendly and rather out-of-the-way pub with well-kept bowling green, tennis court and swimming pool with barbecues at the side. The name commemorates a visit to nearby Padstow in 1842 by Charles Dickens. Accommodation is in 9 rooms with views over the surrounding countryside.
