Probably the largest pub in Padstow and seemingly the only choice if you want to watch the football (as I did on this occasion). It's ok for that as well. Projection screen in one room and a separate large flatscreen in the main bar. Welcome was very friendly and the beer (St Austells) good. Didn't try the food (unless you count a packet of Nobby's Nuts !) but it looked pretty decent. I'd come back.

Pleasant enough pub on a prime spot overlooking the harbour. Quite a large and spacious pub with beamed ceilings and a relaxing area with sofa's and a fire (not in use today, but it's the middle of summer! Not sure if it's used in the winter).
Four beers on tap (all St. Austells) plus Blackthorn and Cornish Rattler ciders.

Pub is a bit bland, but beer was good and very good service.

Had a drink in here. No welcome from barman apart from a quick awright? yeh? I didn't feel like risking an ale so had a carlsberg. This pub was dirty and I wouldn;t risk eating here so went elsewhere instead
I didn't use the toilets
I give it 3/10

Not a patch on The London Inn. A bland place catering for the easily pleased.
(Jollyjones & Tommytit (similar names, writing style and similar spelling errors, and both joined today!) seem to be easily pleased...)

|

|
my least favorite pub in padstow,beer tastes like it needs a good clean, and the floor looks like it hasnt seen a mop or brush in 10years
|
Dirty place with awful bar staff. There is not a lot else to add
|
Fairly soulless and chain-like, wouldnt recommend, although was disappointed generally by the standard of pubs in Padstow. Dont agree about the Cornish Cream ale, thought it was ok.
|
I have been here a couple of times.
Food varies. The old part of the pub is nice but the conservatory and other part is not good.

Nice place. Both times I've been to Padstow have headed here. Gorgeous food and a nice pint. The conservatory is the best place to sit with some great views of the harbour.
|
Feels like a chain pub and therefore has a lot less character than others in the town. A good location though.
Its OK, but if in Padstow, you can do better than this.

The night I was in, I met a guy who'd run away from his wife in Liverpool. He seemed a bit miffed that the landlady wasn't too keen on spending the night in his tent with him. He suggested she did'nt have to stay the whole night, and that she could get a cab back after. After what, I never found out as his eyes glazzed over and he slid off the seat & onto the floor.
I moved tables. I saw him the next day, still asleep in a rowing boat in the harbour.
|
Quite a modern well lit place when I went, and at odds with some of the older, more traditional pubs in the town. Serves usual bitters such as Tinners and Cornish Cream ale (looks like Guinness, tastes like Volvic).
Food needs to be seen to be believed. My mates' chicken pie was blacker than their Cornish Cream ale. No wonder Rick Stein does so well in the town.
