The Wheel Inn, Helston

This is a plain, detached pub with outbuildings, a beer garden and play area. The pub is interestingly shaped, having a slight curve and may have been a former farm. It is in cream render with lots of blue paintwork. The interior has one large room, with the bar area off to the left and a more restauranty part to the right (through an archway, after which the room widens out). We did eat and the food was really nice, but we ate in the bar area. The decor haswhite walls,a white and beam ceiling (with a big wheel on it! There is also a greenish carpet. There are a few fireplaces dotted about and photos of the village and old village footy teams on the walls - with accompanying trophies. There is a TV, which just had the BBC programmes on and the background music was general and soft. The service was very good, a friendly bloke that appears have been at the pub since the Ice Age and the clientele consisted of a few holidaymakers, dining. Beer; usual tap stuff with Doombar on handpull and Betty Stoggs on gravity, both of which were fine. A nice experience here; it was a place we were aiming to go back to, but sadly didn't.
