Great staff! It was a busy, sunny Bank Holiday afternoon, and the bar staff were efficient and remembered my round, which was amazing as there was quite a number of customers. I had the Cornish Best Bitter which was in good condition and a nice drink. My mate had a bottle of cider, with ice, and he was happy. I didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food.

Under new management, since I was last there and WOW, what a difference. Polite staff with a smile and so dog friendly it's amazing. Definitely worth a try and you'll definitely return.

Super selection of takeaway beers during lock down. The Pravha went down a treat 🍻 excellent Pimms 🍓 * now doing a food menu, tasty sandwiches, pasta salads and pies. Very reasonably priced, we presented and locally sourced. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely Sunday afternoon treat.
