Quinno _ left this review about Pilchard Press Alehouse
Up an alley off the main drag past some bins – not exactly enticing. Interior is a small atmospheric poke; bare boards, whitewashed stone walls, blue ceiling and no windows at all so the amusing wall-mounted webcam to the outside world gets a decent viewership, especially as a hoolie had blown-in on my visit. Extremely busy, I had to stand at the end of the bar as there wasn’t a spare seat in the house. GBG listed, the liquid offerings were two cask (off stillage) and three keg with a couple of ciders as well; apparently there are more ales during the summer. I decided to give both the cask a go with Treens Sunbeam (NBSS 3.5) and St Ives Meor (3) both drinking well-enough to justify the listing. Amusingly the internet went down halfway through my visit prompting matey behind the jump to chalk 'cash only' above the bar, to the consternation of a couple of grockles. I could well-imagine this place could be a great place to have an evening drink during the week in the winter.

This is a recently opened micropub close to the lifeboat station. There are a couple of tables and about 15 chairs and stools. A shelf on one wall and a long beam on another wall for glasses if tables occupied. 5 or 6 real ales served direct from casks, and there are a couple of real ciders and a few wine bottles. Walls painted white, and it has a feel of a cellar bar. Closed Mon - Wed, 1600 - 2300 Thurs and Friday, and 1200 - 2300 Sat and Sun.
