“My exploration revealed a place that truly embraces its identity as a Cornish pub, evident in the friendly atmosphere and the palpable care shown by the new ownership, especially noticeable in the substantial improvements and the well-executed traditional pub fare. The Sunday roast, in particular, stands out as a highlight, showcasing a commitment to fresh, hearty cooking that makes it a compelling stopover, whether you're passing through or seeking a comfortable base in the area.”
