Caught a bus to the Charles I pub as we heard they served Brodies beers, and were pleased to find 3 of their beers new to us. Mild, Californian and West End best. Enjoyed the ales. £4.80 for the 3 halves. It was very busy here with a nice atmosphere. Bar billiard table too, something you don't often see these days.

Nice pub off the main road. Been there many times, sells real ale, doesn't do food but you can bring your own or order it from the cafe opposite and they will deliver. They have menus from the local takeaways. They have a bar billiard table and strange things hanging on the wall.

Decent selection of ales on – St Austell Tribute; Everard’s Beacon; Brodie’s Mild and a cask on the bar containing Brodie’s Stout. There was also a fourth handpump with the clip turned round, probably usually dispensing another of the Brodie’s range. There also looked to be a large range of bottled beers on offer, advertised on a chalkboard. I had the Tribute (£3 a pint), which was in excellent form. The only food (at lunchtime anyway) were pickled eggs, scotch eggs and pork pies. Nothing wrong with that – and they are happy for you to pop over the road to the sandwich bar to bring something back to eat. The service was friendly and helpful.
This is a small one-room pub. The walls are covered with what looks like some pretty ancient wood panelling; there’s plenty of solid wood furniture; and some large African and Asian (Thai I think) masks on the wall. There’s even a bar billiards next to the door. The pub is small enough that I imagine it would get crowded pretty quickly, but it wasn’t too busy on a Friday lunchtime. This is the sort of pub that I would be very happy to sit in for a couple of hours with a few pints over a long lunch. I’ll be back.
