I feel I must comment on point 2 of the previous review. My son is a barman at the Driftwood and whilst amenable he is certainly not posh or on a surfing holiday!!
The Driftwood is a great pub and one of my top 3, the other 2 being the Turks Head at St.Agnes, I.O.S and the great Square and Compass in Dorset. The range of beers is almost 100% local now with Sharp's, Skinners and St.Austell represented, along with the home brewed beers from across the road.
One small critisism is the Bar food menu. It's got very restaraunty of late. There should always be room for Scampi Louise!!

There are essentially three parts to this extensive operation: pub, B&B and restaurant. Top location.

1. Good pub. Tradtional, (unsurprisingly) nautically-themed comfortable bar. Good range of St Austell and other beers - with the Trib well kept. Large, discrete room with pool etc for those that like that kind of thing - and one that doesn't impose on the main bar. Upstairs family room; and a small-ish snug - which is nice, but not overly-populated or always open. Pretty good boozer all round.
2. Fair restaurant. Modern and quite discrete from the pub. Nice selection of food, albeit slightly expensive for the area; that is eminently edible. Food service a bit slow. Floor staff seem largely to be posh, amenable kids; first jobbing on a surfing holiday. Pleasant but slightly hapless and/ or absent on occasion.
3. B&B (our room) a bit naff - Next catalogue 1985; a bit tired and a bit musty. OK-ish, although not outstanding VFM. Other rooms seemed a bit better - maybe a rolling refurbishment is underway...

I'd defintiely eat and drink here again; although would think twice about the B&B if better, nearby option presented itself.

Great pub. I am not living in Cornwall but I have been around for about 5 years. I really like this place, great atmosphere, good food and friendly stuff. Live music is also very good.

Had a nice lunch in the main bar.
Nice atmosphere and cosy feeling.
Well kept Skinners washed the food down nicely. A little soulless in the upper bar if it's quite and the bar is closed and they haven't lit any of the fires!
