A very interesting and highly recommended pub. Excellant menu, the is good entertainment and some beers come straight from the barrel. Worth 8/10

Returned home at the weekend to meet up with some old friend. Forgot how good this place is. Top marks

I think Chav_man must have taken a wrong turning as he can't have found this pub. Truro is a beer mecca and this is one of the best.
IGNOR Chav_man as he is probably floating in a paddling pool!!!!!!!
|
I read some of the reviews and decided to check this pub out. It is really crap and the toilet was a paddling pool.....
|
Excellant. Fantastic decor. Great range of beers! Recommended. I agree the special skinners Ale is Excellent.
|
If you want to eat or drink this has to go down as one of the best pubs in the country. The steak is top notch and if you want a good beer try the Skinner's speciel it is superb!
|
Always a good range of real ales.Good food at Lunch and early evening.
Occasional music sessions and jazz at least once a month.
A regular favourite in Truro

Came in here sometime in September with friends. The food was pretty decent and quite a good range of ales though not outstanding in terms of flavour. Decor is good, too

Super beer selection and good friendly service.
A cool bit of Jazz being played one evening when we were there. Good volume but OK to carry on a conversation as well.
Might loose a little atmosphere on Jazz nights when the smoking ban comes in but I'm still looking forward to smoke free to be honest.

Pub is drab and in need of a facelift.
|
Went for first time in over a year this week and apart from the landlord the bar staff are still fairly miserable and self centered. The beer is OK, but not fantastic considering the name of the place and the superb interior decor, and still better than most places in the area. Old Peculiar was good, Black Pearl bland and flat,but February Ale very good and flavoursome for a 3.8% Always go back for the beer but not the food - its rubbish.
|
Just come to the area and love this pub. Beer is kept in great condition and felt very welcome. Friendly atmosphere
|
Very nice pub with excellent ales. Old looking interior with bits and pieces sacttered on the walls etc.
|
Though i must, regretable, agree that it is going 'down hill' a bit, i still give it a 7.The food is well priced & good value & the beer can be truely wonderful - 'an average pint' is a bad day, but, again, still at least double what you'd get in most. As for the atmosphere i rate it highly; freindly & well mixed. No, no visit to Truto is the same without a visit there.

Have to agree with redboy the Kiddlywink is top notch
I visit the place every year without fail

A classic! No trip to Truro would be complete without a trip here. Yes it is a tad expensive but the atmosphere simply can't be beaten anywhere! You can strike up a conversation with any of the regulars or the bar staff and no-one is a stranger here. They even used to have nuts in barrels for you to help yourself but they got rid of them years ago - Health and Safety probably. A fantastic selection of beers both on tap and from the casks behind the bar. Try a pint of Kiddlywink - the local brew. It's absolutely gorgeous! This place is definitely worth paying a bit extra for - you don't get pubs like this too often and they need to be cherished. Worth going to Truro just to visit. A timeless classic!

What a shame this used to be a great pub. We called in last week (March 05). The pub seems to have changed hands, staff still friendly but beer (Sharps) was probably the worst I have tasted - completely flat without any head at all and devoid of condition. My 2 friends had different brews, and both the same. Someone needs to go on a cellar course. No Sharps Doombar or St Austell Tribute- both are local bestsellers.
Food used to be beautiful with Beef and Stilton in skillets - what on earth have they done to the recipe ? Really oily and horrible. I ordered the spice island chicked - 2 mouthfulls only - it was inedible and tasted dreadful.
No monkey nuts either - this used to be a real attraction in previous years. I'm sorry to say avoid this place like the plague unless you want lager.

I agree with all previous comments - best pub in Truro.
|
I agree, the best pub in Truro by a mile. A great after work pub, dont know about later in the evening as Truro does tend to die a bit after dark. Much better to go to St.Agnes .
|
Best pub in Truro I think. Great real ales and a friendly atmosphere. Red wine worth a miss though.

I certainly agree! Fantastic place for a drink or ten!!! Most beer served from the barrel and chilled too. The atmosphere is unique. Are they still providing free "monkey" nuts from wooden barrels I wonder? Live music adds to the occasion.
