| I think this link pretty much sums up what people have been complaining about. http://www.freewebs.com/polperrobeermonsters/ glubglub - 8 Nov 2008 10:40 |
| I dont think that the genrealisation that people from 'social housing' is fair or right in this case, as the clientelle of this pub is varied, and the vast majority of the people in there are not from the housing estate! That said, i agree that the smoking ban is a major catalyst in this issue, as the pub does not have anywhere for their customers to go other than on the street. Not that this is an excuse, and it does not excuse the behaviour of the customers. beerslops - 7 Nov 2008 12:44 |
| I think there are a number of seperate points here : [1] The pub is horrid with rubbish food , beer and toilets and a clientele from the texas chain saw massacre [ many of whom are under age as this pub is known to be "the place" for under age drinkers "no questions asked" ]. [2] Most of the cottages around the pub are holiday cottages so there are few locals to complain unlike than with other pubs in the village where locals have been on to the council. If you look on rightmove and other property websites there are quite a few "locals" trying to get out of Lansallos street probably because of the noise. [3] The problem is mainly down to the smoking ban and people need to lobby MPs/ councillors because forcing people out of pubs into tiny streets such as in Polperro was always going to cause problems. The situation in Polperro is not helped by those in social housing at the top of the village coming down for a "good time" and causing mayhem [ after all they are the only ones left who can afford a pint and a smoke !!]. I am afraid that if you have an idea of coming to a lovely village for a relaxing time forget it if your accomodation is near this hell hole of a pub jollyjohnB - 6 Nov 2008 00:33 |
| Apologies to Cleggy for using this site to rant about the cottage as well - but I just wanted to point out that the pub has an environmental responsibility to the locals and the holiday-makers staying in the area. The front door of the pub is literally 13ft from the front door of the cottage with the area in between being used as a "open air bar". Not entirely the pub's fault because of the smoking ban - but despite promises from the land-lady to control it, she did not and let the late night revellers do entirely as they pleased. We paid £920 for the cottage for that bank holiday week (plus an additional £350 to stay in alternative B&B after the 3rd sleepless night) so you can see why we are trying to air our grievances as much as we can!

| Sorry- agree with the majority, terrible pub, My wine glass was dirty and sticky, the wine itself was tepid and tasteless and my bloke said his pint was only 'so so '. As for the clientele - majority local by the conversations they had, they were abyssmal. This pub Lets Polperro down badly. Wouldnt reccomend and marked low for the dirty wine glass irishcream - 3 Nov 2008 22:22 |
