Cadgwith Cove Inn, Cadgwith, Helston

The is a detached stone cottage of a building that has been white rendered, with black sills on the sash windows The modern signage is a little out of keeping, but there is a nice front patio area. Also does accommodation. The interior has a couple of rooms, in white and beam, off the entrance corridor; the more foody area to the left and the serving bar and bar area to the right. There is a small back room, in white, that has a dart board too. There are a lot of sea and boat pictures - not a shock there then. The floor is wood. There is no TV and no music. They have a folk night on Tuesdays, which was great. The singers that appear on Fridays hadn't started by 10.45, so we went back to the cottge. Service was great and the clientele mixed - many holidaymakers of course. Beer; usual tap stuff with Doombar, Otter Bitter and Skinner's Betty Stoggs on handpull. The beer was generally decent, and it was nice to see an Otter beer - Doombar and Stoggs are of course prevalent in Cornwall.

Well kept beer and a friendly host made this a pleasant stop. A delightful location.

Called into this charming pub while looking round the cove area, and enjoyed both the Black Sheep Bitter and the Otter Bitter, It is great to see beers from other than the Big 3 in Cornwall. Lively atmosphere in the seating area outside.

Pretty village and traditional old pub serving reasonable food to the many non locals who visit (and can afford it!). Food apart there is little to attract here, the excellent beers are spoilt by being extremely poorly kept and poorly served and there seems no willingness on the part of the current landlord to change this. Like most pubs in this area it is on the market although at a vastly inflated and unrealistic price. Best advice is to find another pub to drink in, there are plenty close by serving good beer, and just visit Cadgwith for the scenery.
