E TA left this review about Crabshell Inn
A relatively modern building at the side of the river, this pub's main selling point is its outside areas and river views. There is a car park at the side and riverside terrace with wooden benches and tables. There is also a first floor balcony which offers river views, all great when the weather allows. Inside, there is a bar with a counter in the corner, which leads to a larger dining room. It feels a bit sparse, certainly not atmospheric. It feels a bit corporate, though it is actually an independent business. The young staff were helpful and friendly. Food is gastro-style, mainly sea food, but with a couple of excessively over-priced meat dishes, plus they offer pizzas. Ales were Anthem, Proper Job and Tribute from St Austell, while Arctic Sky led a range of megas for the keg offerings. The ales were in reasonable condition. Worth the short walk from the town centre just to enjoy the location.

Not an overall enjoyable experience, fantastic waterside location spoiled by run down premises with poorly trained staff. Smile and say please, it will earn £000's!
