Back here after a year's absence, and it is still a great pub. The beers were changing as I was there! All in tip-top condition, and the food was excellent to boot. Well recommended, we were fortunate enough to be staying in the village, so didn't need to drive! No food on Tuesday evenings at the moment, which was a shame, as Tuesday was our last day there!

A friendly and cosy village pub, serving excellent beer and good quality food at reasonable prices. On my visit, Dark Star American and Sharp's Own were amongst the range available - there were two others, names of which escape me. Well worth more than one visit!

Situated almost on the beach, reasonable menu and good beer. Its nice to sail here from Falmouth, anchor and have a bite and a drink before sailing back.
