In a village not far from Penzance (and with regular buses) is this fantastically old-school wet-led traditional pub, complete with sticky tables, tricky mobile reception, locals with strong accents and, slightly incongruously, Radio 2 on the speakers.

6 Penzance Brewery beers are on sale, with several further handles currently unused. Amstel, Heineken and Thatchers are also offered if you absolutely insist. None of the ales were more than a fiver and new-fangled contactless payments are accepted.

Not sure how busy a pub this traditional in a small place like Crowlas can get (there's a lot of space inside), but I was glad to have paid a visit and sampled a couple of the quality ales.

This village local consists of a single room that is split into different areas. There is a central bar and to the right a raised area and an area with a pool table. On the left is what looks like a dining room and an area with comfy chairs. The dart board by the window in the central area was obstructed. I got here soon after midday on a Thursday and it was largely quiet until approaching late afternoon.
The bar has twelve hand pumps which had five Penzance beers and Milltown Black Jack Stout (£3.30). I tried the lot and found the Penzance brews to be very pleasant old school beers despite including two Boring Brown Beers!
They were Crowlas Bitter (£3.00), Potion No 9 (£3.10), Brisons Bitter (£3.20), Crow An Wra (£3.30) and Lamorna Gold (£3.80).
I thought this was an excellent place and would gladly return.

Everything that aleand hearty said. Cannot fault this place at all. It is a mecca for beer lovers, and the ale quality is superb. 4 Penzance beers available and we had IPA, Brison's Bitter and Potion No 9. Also enjoyed the guest which was Sheffield Brewery Mild Steel. Locals rubbed it in as to how good it is living so close to such a good pub, but it is friendly banter with strangers you feel comfortable with. Will be back, again and again.....

Above June 2011 and we were back there on this year's holiday enjoying the well kept ales. Chose Hop Kettle brewery beer and Potbelly as well as their own beer. No problem.
