Turn off
the A30 at Redruth, turn left along the old Redruth bypass and its on the
right. This place tries to be a pub,
restaurant and inn, but does none particularly well. The beer is ok, but the carvery reminds me of
school dinners. The car park is the size
of Runway 1 at Heathrow, but it’s often the case of ‘spot the car’. Stu 5/10 Dec 1998

Turn off the A30 at Scorrier and head
towards Redruth. This was once the
nearest pub to where I lived back in the 80’s.
The landlord at the time drank more beer than he served and he had to
leave and moved to a little caravan at a nearby Pub – The Flying Pot (since
changed name) so he could continue with his hobby. It started life as a bikers pub but was
tarted up in the early 90’s. Beer is
good, and it had been upgraded again and is much improved. Stu 7/10

Pub which has changes a lot since I
last visted it, mainly for the better. Pub seems a little smaller, but it might
be my imagination. Lots of brass plates hanging up in the pool room. John 7/10 Dec 2000
Display of large bronze plates very pretty. Rather
crowded locals on the edge of town. Grantie walls with dark red upholstery.
Separate pool area. Had a bottle of San Miguel.

Great pub
for a 12-year-old lager drinker on speed!
Reason for existence - the nightclub next door. However, the hotel serves great food. It is separated from the Pub at night by ‘The
Berlin Wall’ like gates in the car park, so the residents don’t get frightened. Stu 1/10 Oct 2000

Food – Extensive range of good food.
Situated
off the East bound lane of the old Redruth Bypass (Redruth end). Easy to miss the turning which is signed, so
drive slowly. This large pub was opened in the late 1980’s by Richard (Dicky)
and Marion. Very friendly pub, which was
created from old copper mine buildings.
Facilities include squash courts, accommodation, sauna, gym and there is
Jazz on Tuesday nights. Stu 8/10 July 2001
Not easy too find but worth the
effort. A large new pub which has a
lived in feeling. It can get crowded on
a weekend evening. Always a warm welcome
and good service. Dickie is a very out going character and being a pub landlord
suits him down to ground. John 8/10

Food - Very Good
Wonderful genuine pub with a thatched roof and
whitewash walls in a riverside setting, the inside is just as nice as
well. Every overseas vistors image of an
English country pub. Very popular in the
summer and the car park can get very full so you might have to park up the
road. On a nice hot day you drink down
by the river jetty. Whilst owning this
place is a bit like a ‘licence to print money’ the owners have avoided the
tourist trap problems of the Jamacia Inn.
John 9/10 July 1995
I guess this is about as idyllic as you can get, a
13th Century building ! Don’t
trip over the yachties in the summer. Great food, old wooden seating and its
own pontoon. Stu 9/10
A beautiful 13th century pub sited on
an estuary with a lovely beer terrace on a jetty. Inside, there are low
ceilings and Black and red decoration. An antique stove is set into the wall.
Ships wheels and pictures are on the walls. The entrance way has a pretty
picture-window. Pub is divided into sections. (As usual the no smoking bar is
empty!) A real feeling of age pervades the pub.

To park you just squeeze in between the Harleys-
well they used to be here but now traded in for white ford fiestas? This was
the scene of a shooting in 1999 and is not for the faint of heart. Often full of bikers and on my last visit one
was throwing up discreetly in the corner. Maybe the food was off? I found it alright but ‘ladies’ may be less
amused. During our last visit it had
been tarted up. Stu Dec 2000 4/10
Small pub which looks like its been
refurnished recently. Not to badly done in green. Nice warm fire and separate
pool area. John 7/10 Dec 2000
This pub was a bit dodgy after a
shooting in the past. But has been refurbished recently and is quite tastefully
decorated, separate pool room area and a nice open fire, but fruit machines a
little obtrusive. Dark green upholstery and beams with 'bulls' nose rings
hanging from them. Took off half a mark for display of stuffed birds which was
very unpleasant. (Even worse for the
birds!) Sue Dec 2000

A big roadside pub on theA30. Being a large pub it trys to cater for most
people and it works most of the time. Some nice prints
of Queen Victoria which is something you do not
always see with pubs with her name on
John 8/10 Oct98
Modernised recently with UPVC everywhere. Still retains some character though. Large conservatory, restaurant and now a
hotel complex, which was opened just before the eclipse in 1999. Stu
7/10
Attractive pub with stained glass panels above
bar, which is warm and friendly. Etchings of Queen Victoria visiting tin mines
in Cornwall. In quarrying district so appropriate. Very nice Toilets! Sue

Bland sort of place on the Helston to Penzance
road. Stu 5/10
Roadside pub, which I found a little
bland. Maybe because its a little isolated meaning it depends on the passing trade
which means 'its got no soul'. John
6/10
A pleasant pub with good service but a
little to modern for me. The pub is quite small and the pool table takes a lot
of space. Beer garden quite pretty and a nice collection of small jugs on the
ceiling but overall not terribly impressive.

Recently changed hands, you now get a welcome
rather than a stare. Apparently the previous
landlady did not like the bar maid talking to the customers. Interesting concept! 2 bar areas with the one on the left just for
food. Parking is out the front and to
the side. After lunch you can walk along the estuary towards Ruan Sett Bridge. The beer is good, so is the food and there
are those comfy chairs as well if you want to relax.
