Very much a gastropub this, with almost every table full with diners even on a somewhat overcast midweek lunchtime. Various gastropub books were for sale which presumably feature this pub. The door was decorated with numerous Michelin accolades and there was the obligatory shade of gastropub green paint on the walls.
We didn't eat ourselves, but the menu was pretty much what you would expect. Short and to the point with only have a dozen or so choices at around the £16 mark, and none of them what you would call pub grub. Besides the aforementioned green paint on some wood panelling the interior was a mixture of exposed stonework and yellow plaster. The floor was a rough screed type of affair. It’s a big pub with several adjoining rooms, one with a sofa in it, but that seems to be the exception with everything else geared up for dining, although there was also an cosy wood fire next to the bar.
The couple running it seemed an odd pair. He was friendly and helpful, whereas she told us in no uncertain terms that we couldn’t sit at a table because it was “reserved for diners” even though we had obviously picked one without a reserved sign on it. She also ignored a punter who proffered a cheery goodbye on leaving.
Beers on offer were Skinner’s Betty Stogs and Heligan Honey, plus Tribute. Ciders were Stowford Press and the local Skreach.

Called into this Good Beer Guide pub today, and it is on the main 300 bus route from Zenner towards Lands End. We enjoyed a couple of Skinners beers and a St ustell beer all in good condition while sitting in a little snug area. There is a dining room and a comfy looking sofa in another drinking area. Close to the coastal path, and we had a walk down to Gurnards Head and felt overcome with the tremendous views over the coast.
