Bowgie Inn, West Pentireback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Kept getting charged different prices for the same drinks here?!? And after being served Betty Stoggs bitter more akin to coming from the Sarsons vinegar factory was charged (at worse) £6.70 for a pint of Guinness & a pint of water weak Carlsberg lager & lime. After complaining because the previous round was £6.50 was informed that the other staff should have been charging an extra 20p for a dash of lime ..... you what!!!?! After trying to explain to them that to charge such was improper practice and not correct and that they should be charging the price for a whole pint of lager and not that for a whole pint + a dash of lime they still would not have it or understand it.
The Guinness btw when asked how much was told £3.40 a pint! Maybe they felt that their customers should be paying the rental on their large plasma screens as well as buying drinks?
Places like these deserve to go bust when they treat and charge in such an outrageous manner, give it a miss and visit the Old Albion down the road instead where drinks are on average 40-50p a pint cheaper. Avoid!!!

Just come back from a holiday in Cornwall, and went here a few times. It has improved since the last time I was there. I noticed that they had more real ales on. As I recall they had Sharpes Doom Bar, Betty Stoggs, Eden and Tribute on. Also had a pint of the Rattler cider, which is quite potent. The food is good too, with the hottest served soup i've ever had! Although it's got a little pricey, it's still worth it. Just wish the weather had been better to enjoy the view more.

Has the most amazing views in the area, over looking Crantock Bay. Did not find the drink over expensive, but even so, worth paying a little extra for the views. Tried Rattler cider, was vrey tasty, but warning, very strong!
Has the simple cod and chips. Fish not fresh and a little watery, but fairly tasty all the same. Other friends had Creamy Fish Pie and the Fish Platter, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed their meal (again, none was fresh which is a shame due to the pub's marine view). Meals also quite expensive for what it was...about £9-10 for a main meal, but not expensive enough to be put off.
Definately worth a visit, especially if you are doing the coastal walk...a perfect place to rest and rejuvinate.

Expensive Beer, poor half cooked food, lousy service. Nice view thou! I'd give it a miss.

Very nice pub, great views of the bay below. Friendly staff, they even delayed the closing of the kitchen at lunch time, for some late arrivals.

Fantastic views from both pub and beer garden,food and beer very nice,highly recomend

Large, multi-roomed pub which is very popular. Beer was very good ( two cornish brewed real ales) and the food looked rather nice if a tad expensive. Great views.

Hi People,
This watering hole offers the veiws from any Pub that I have visited.
All the great bears on tap, served with great food. Food pricies are high but not extorionate. Bear prices the same as other pubs in Nequay.
I personally love to get a pint of Stella. Then go and sit in my car in the car park overlooking the Pentire Beach. The best time to do this is as the sun is just about to be switch off, with it low in the sky. The light shimmering accross the water.
Please enjoy people.
