The Victory Inn, Truro

A terraced traditional little pub and restaurant that also does accommodation. The pub is in white rendered rough stone, with black paintwork around the windows, as well as having dormer windows too. It has a little porch and an upstairs patio area, as well as a few tables outside the front door. Copious flowers brighten the exterior up further. The interior has a modern upstairs restaurant in white and cream, with high backed chairs and with bistro art on the walls. I didn't eat so can't comment on the food. The bar room is open plan, but in two halfs. The main bar is to the left on entry, it is here that the actual serving bar is - it faces you on entry. The decor is white and white wood panel, with some blue, with a white and white beam ceiling and red patterned carpet. There is an undressed stone fireplace here too. There is a loungey area to the right which is laid out for pub dining. It is in white walls and ceiling, with red patterned carpet and another stone fireplace. There are some books here too. There are a few ship and yacht pictures on the walls, otherwise it looks a little bare. Thee was no TV that i saw, and the background music was general and at a decent level. The service was friendly and there was just one other inside and a few on the upstairs patio. Beer; usual tap stuff with Sharpe's Doombar, Skinner's Betty Stoggs and Otter Ale on handpull, the Otter and Stoggs were fine. A lovely little place that manages to keep a modern restaurant separate from the pub element. Definitely worth a stop off if visiting the castle.

A good sailing pub, good food and beer, and if you are lucky the local choir will serenade you.
