OK, so its not entirely traditional but Big Smoke have done quite a good job of revamping this former Young's pub with a modern twist. The two-bar layout has been retained, with grey and green walls liberally strewn with old prints. Some laid back music sets the scene. At the back the patio garden is largely covered in and equipped with space heaters. Excellent beerwise, with 5 cask, a couple of ciders and a dozen or so craft keg, including a number of guests as well as their own brews. Their own cask ales range from £4.30 to £4.70 and food is available, with offers on weekday lunchtimes. The regulars seemed quite happy, and so they should.

Two room Youngs pub with a sense of faded grandeur but at least not wrecked by the refurb mob. On the right is the lounge - burgundy and purple walls all round with a dark wood bar and some mirrors with dead twig surrounds. Upright piano spotted here. This side leads off to a modern patio garden. There’s a through join at the rear of the centrally-located bar, housing a pool table and ultimately leading to the public bar area, a more sparse room showing the FA Cup final on my visit. Dog friendly. Three pumps with two (only two on a Saturday?) on; Youngs Bitter (good) and Special. Rather got the feeling that this was a great pub 15 years ago but it now feels like a bit of an also-ran (the fate of numerous other Youngs houses in the last few years). Could be better.

Well the refurbishment is complete and I'm pleased to report that this remains a traditional proper pub, although there are a few modern twists. The pub retains a two room format, served by the central bar, the lounge bar is comfortable, carpeted with a slightly raised area to one side, then narrowing towards the rear where there is access to the beer garden. Separately accessed but there is an internal connecting door. Mostly traditional seating but with the odd high table, a few fancy lampshades with a retro 60's feel, old local prints on the walls, a map of the area, flowers in small vases.
The public bar has the TV, and also pool, darts and a rarely seen these days pinball table. The mirrors in here have not exactly twigs, more branches wrapped around them!
It's a Young's pub, so there was Ordinary Bitter and Special plus Sharp's Doom Bar, and also St Austell Tribute. The very friendly barmaid was helpful in advising us that the Tribute was also available as the pump was out of sight in the other room. A good honest local pub worthy of a visit and a good double header with the nearby Mason's Arms.
