From the outside, this appears to be a traditional Cornish fishermen’s pub, which it probably was originally, but the Lifeboat has undergone several unsympathetic extensions to create one large and somewhat claustrophobic room. That said, it is comfortable, the barstaff were friendly and the draught St. Austell beers (HSD, Proper Job and Tribute) were excellent. Although we didn’t eat here, the food looked good and seemed to be being served quickly.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this place given past experiences of pubs in the middle of tourist traps BUT very pleased to be proved wrong. Well kept beer and very good food. Yes there is a big telly but the sound was well down and not intrusive. A band was setting up as we left but I'm not sure if it was for the afternoon or evening trade.

What a pity that since January's refurb the dreaded TV has taken the bar over. Sunday afternoon and Cahooty who were booked to play were cancelled so that footy and rugby could be shown.Full volume on the Tv competing with piped music and from where I stood very little interest in the game.I hope this isn't the shape of things to come, all the way from London hoping to see the band too. Ho hum. Beer was still good, though food finished at varying unpublicised times.

like most of the st austell pubs the beer was well kept and the food was good,I'm sure there are some crap boozers in St Ives but I've yet to find one

Caught this one during a local music festival and saw two excellent bands in one day whilst enjoying a few pints of "Just the Job". Does this really come from the St Austell Brewery? Lovely beer in good condition.
One or two staff a bit uptight but Landlady and the rest very welcoming. Be interesting to see the place out of season.
