not do justice to it. During one visit

In 1975 John and I visited a pub in the village. Its gone now but it was like someone’s front
room. Perhaps it was! Anyway we could never find any reference to
it in old books. Perhaps it was a
figment of our imagination?
Nice views of the coastline from this
pub. Which it takes full of advantage off and why not (as Barry Norman might
say). It might sound a little cruel but if you took away the view, you are left
with a very average pub.
Pub with a superb view of St Michael’s
mount through large windows. Nicely decorated with brass plates and white walls
with black beams. Enlarged photos of local landmarks. Pale blue
upholstery. Sue July 1996

Pub in the centre of town, which was
very crowded when we visited. Noisy and loud (not too loud) which made for a
lively atmosphere. Good service from friendly bar staff, beer wasn't to bad
either. John 8/10
A very impressive front to this pub
with plants and timbering. However, the interior not quite as nice with a
rather intrusive fruit machine struck in the middle of it! Red furnishings with
velvety wallpaper a little worn. Nice carnations on each table! Barman has
a strange sense of humour and denies there is a ladies toilet!

Nice little pub on the road to Malpas from
Truro. It is situated beside a beautiful
creek. There is plenty of outside
seating for the summer. This pub was
refurbished in 1998 in a modern wine-bar’ey sort of way with a nautical theme,
but its still rather nice. Oak tables
and chairs furnish the two rooms. The
bar now faces you as you walk in. Its
more food orientated, but it still has 3 real ales on tap. Parking is difficult
in the Summer and you rarely get in the little car park. Stu 8/10 Feb 2001
I not one for sitting outside pubs
most of the time, but the views from outside this pub of the river estuary are
excellent. Inside there is a bird/Heron theme, but the decor is just average.
One for a summers evening, beware of wasps wanting to died happy in your
beer! John 9/10 Sept 97
A very pretty exterior, with lovely
views of the estuary and boats on the river. Nice pictures of Herons with descriptions,
but not so sure about the stuffed heron in the cabinet! Rather food orientated
but nice atmosphere and setting very nice. Sue

Located up the steep hill to the West of the
beach. Renamed and previously called The
Flying Machine and before that The Riviera again? This pub was frequented by air force
personnel from the nearby air base at St. Mawgan, which happens to offer
scheduled commercial flights to Gatwick.
Pictures on the wall used to be of aircraft! Pub is a mixture of old and new. Unfortunately since being taken over by new
landlords last year it has deteriorated and become more basic. Bar staff dispense 2 to 3 real ales (in mediocre
condition during my last visit). Great
views from the car park! Stu.

Better of the two pubs in the resort. Located right by the beach, an unusual pub
that is worth a visit. Reminds me of a
beach café, and that was what it was originally, called the beach haven stores in
the 1930’s. It became a WRAF quarters
during the war and then in 1946 it became a restaurant and snack bar. In 1964 it finally became a pub. The then owners daughter and husband now run
it. For more history see the food
menus! Seats at the front of the pub are
next to big picture windows overlooking the beach. The beer garden has an aviary and children’s
play area and is a recent addition.
Lynne and Dudley Bennett have made this an interesting hostelry right by
the beach and there is accommodation as well!
Good Sunday lunches as well.

Many different seating areas in which to relax. Stu. 8/10 1998

This is a cracking pub located by Stithians
reservoir. It’s difficult to find but
worth it – take a good map. As you enter
the pub there is a bar by a large fireplace and further inside is a large
dining area overlooking the reservoir.
The beer, service and food are all very good. There is an outside sitting area as well.
Stu. 8.5/10 1998
Visted this pub when it was just about to close
after the lunch time. Landlord let us have a quick beer. Sat in the drinking
area with bare floor broads and wooden tables, the dining area seemed to have
views out to the reservoir. Maybe a
little too food orientated, but a good pub.
John 8/10 Nov 98
One of the best ladies toilets I've ever visited!

Super old pub near the North Cornwall border with
Devon, although it’s a bit tricky to find even though it’s signposted off the
A39. Once a chapel and now a pub! Courtyard area for sunny days and good
service. The ploughman’s I had was
better than average and went well with the Hicks. Good pub to take a friend. Stu. 8/10 July
2000
Lovely old pub off the
A39 but not easy to find. Its not on the
coast but you can make out the coastline from the pub. Genuine old pub where
you can feel the history with all the granite walls and stone floor. Maybe because it’s in a remote part of North
Cornwall is the reason why it is so unspoilt - its a gem! John 9/10

Tom Bawcock was a local fisherman. The story goes that one winter, the village
was near starvation. Tom got in his
boat, braved an awful storm and caught a bumper catch of ‘seben sorts of fish’.
He was able to feed the whole village.
The reason for this story is that you can get Stargazey pie in this pub
on Christmas Eve’s Eve each year. This
is an archetypal Cornish pub with several bars and seating areas. Don’t miss it or the lovely fishing
village! Stu 9/10 1998
Not easy to get to going down
Mouseholes narrow lanes, but worth the effort. A big pub with lots of different
areas, it feels commercial in some places but not others. Lots of wood and
nautical things, like the small portholes. John 8/10 Aug 97
A very pretty pub with black painted
beams and polished dark wood tables, and midnight blue upholstery. Stained glass
