Well signposted from the main Penzance to Portcurno road, this pleasant stone built small village pub has a sedate but friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The spacious carpeted lounge bar has low ceilings, open fire, exposed stone walls and several heraldic shields surrounding the bar. To the rear is a more basic public bar with bare partly flagstoned floors and a darts area. Ales come from the St Austell range with decent quality Tribute, Tinners and Proper Job at reasonable prices. The food menu appeared to be on the expensive side but as most people (including us) were there for their popular but challenging Sunday quiz, I didn't see anyone eating. Locals were friendly and quick to chat to us when they realised we were outsiders. The place would probably appeals more to the mature end of the market than to the younger upstarts. Note - the owners also run the Yacht in Penzance and the Logan Rock Inn.

large pub with a mixture of chair styles. Real ale sold, Broadside & Weasel. Food served all day. Clocks on one wall and mirrors on another. Seemed a bit cold inside. Disabled access.

Warm pub in a historic village opposite the 15C church of St Paul. A welcome break after a scary ascent up the single track hill from Mousehole, especially if traffic is oncoming!! Well kept St Austells beer and a cheap, traditional pub grub menu. Well worth a visit
