"We come here every year during our winter getaway! A proper local, with friendly staff and owners (Gary and his son); very friendly patrons who always chat to us.
Often have events on, live music, darts competition and quizzes. A great selection of local drinks and hearty pub grub in the restaurant."
Harvey Glydon
"Great pub in a lovely village. A warm welcome from the bar. Locals enjoying a lunchtime pint. Well kept ales. A nice front garden overlooking the green, with pleasant views all around. What's not to like?! Drop in after a nice walk."

Eight of the best pubs in Cornwall — chosen by our beer expert
The pretty village green out front and the formal-looking façade give you no clue to the cosy, quirky rooms in this place on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The main bar feels like a farmhouse kitchen — if your farmhouse roof beams were covered in real-ale pump clips and a collection of vintage mugs bearing logos for brands such as Oxo and Fujifilm. The landlord, Gary Marshall, has stocked more than 4,000 real ales over the three decades he’s been here; the local Camra branch describes it as “a permanent mini beer festival”.
Our favourite places to enjoy a pint in Cornwall
You can cycle along the Camel Trail all the way to Wenford Bridge and then it’s a quick lick up the hill to the pub which is gloriously traditional inside.
