Excellent, if expensive, old pub near New Grimsby harbour, a haven between demanding coastal walks and the boat to St Mary's. The Driftwood Bar is the heart of the island community, and is adorned with wood from old wrecks and marine relics. The bar is filled with visitors and locals throughout the year. Extensions to the garden and provision of a covered pavilion have added to the attractions of this popular real ale outlet. The varying beers are generally from Cornish breweries with a St Austell brew or two often present. An 'Ale and Sausage' (or similar) festival is held over the spring bank holiday weekend, with a second beer festival at August Bank Holiday. The food menu focuses on traditional pub fare with a 'Tresco twist'.
