| Another visit for their first beer festival on June 26th. It was a good set up with casks in a party tent in the garden. We had 3 of their Cornish beers, Skinners, Wooden Hannd and Keltek and had no problem with any of them. Friendly staff and good food. gillhalfpint - 10 Jul 2009 17:45 |
| I suppose Penzance had to have a Pirate pub somewhere and this one is just a short stroll out of the main town. The first thing that strikes you is that it is back to front with the main door at the rear on the opposite side to the main road. I was expecting a strong pirate theme throughout with Jolly Rogers fluttering from fake masts, ceremonial planks and staff with false wooden legs and stuffed parrots on the shoulder. Instead, the carpeted 2 bar interior is quite run of the mill and plainly decorated with some exposed stone walls and a few token maritime pictures. At one end is a small raised dining area and at the other a lobby that leads through to a public bar with pool table. There is a caged bird that I will take as a parrott substitute but don’t expect any Pieces of Eight squarks. Ales included Doom Bar, Abbot and Betty Stoggs, prices and quality fine on my brief visit. Overall it is a cosy enough place and seems quite friendly and civilised but it lacks any real charm or character to make it a worthwhile trip although if you have kids you can let them loose in the decent kid friendly garden.

| Had a walk from town while doing Good Beer Guide pubs and enjoyed our ale sitting in the lovely sun trap of a garden. gillhalfpint - 20 Aug 2008 14:50 |
| Had an evening meal here end of June. Looked forward to this visit, ref. to previous reviews. But in total we got a bit dissapointed; Had mackerell w/ salad, and my wife had crab cakes.., and we both agreed it was below average quality. The ales were good, though. Nice location, outside beer garden and playing space for children. But the place was nearly empty (monday night). We later found better pubs down near the Penzance harbour, so we didn't bother to try again. hgr - 13 Jul 2008 14:35 |
| Had a good time here last summer while in Cornwall for my brother's wedding. Good range of mainly West Country beers on offer, friendly staff and local drinkers. Thanks for allowing me to play the pub piano as well as the free pint! Next time I'm in the area I will make a beeline for the Pirate Inn. lad_newton - 12 Sep 2007 17:49 |
