The Western Inn is a brisk walk down the hill from town, and not so brisk back up again. On the rear wall is an L-shaped serving counter that faces seating up the left-hand wall and across the front windows. Some steps to the right ascend to more seating, a pool table and a dartboard. The televisions throughout were all off while some background music came from the jukebox. Premium keg was available alongside Carlsberg and lots of different Thatcher’s cider flavours. There are also three hand pumps, the Hobgoblin was off leaving TT Landlord and Ringwood’s Forty-Niner as the cask options. One of the old locals seemed to have a problem with me, but the governor was friendly enough so I think it was worth the trip down.

Last of our pubs on yesterday's crawl, and a busier St Austell's pub with 3 ales on, Tinners, Tribute and Dartmoor. The Dartmoor made a nice change to the rest of the days beers. Sporty pub and lots of trophies cups and shields about. Seems to be for a football team as there were action shot photos on display. Dart board and pool table, and they have entertainment too.
