The Quarryman Inn was the best pub I found in Devon and Cornwall on my latest visit. It was actually my first stop in the two counties. Arriving on a rather drizzly Tuesday afternoon, I was glad to receive a warm welcome and was also greeted by a choice of 4 real ales. Otter Bitter is currently the regular ale, but I overheard them saying that this will soon be withdrawn. However, I was more attracted to the 3 guest ales, which were all from Cornwall - Skinner's Penny Come Quick, Padstow Brewery Padstow May Day & Firebrand West Coast Session IPA. The Penny Come Quick was a very pleasant milk stout. I'd read that mobile phones are not allowed. It was sod's law that mine rang whilst I was ordering at the bar! However, they do provide a wifi code. So, I am not sure if the ban is still enforced. Just 4 other customers were in, two in the main bar area and another couple of guys in the games room area, which you pass through on entry. A cosy Cornish pub, not far off the main A35, along a lane. Well worth making a detour to.

Large pub near the Camel Trail which is part of a holiday /sporting complex. There is a games area, and lounge and dining areas as well as the restaurant. Children and dogs are ok but they ban mobiles. We had beers from Cottage and Skinners, which were fine, and there was also Doom Bar and an Otter beer on.
