| Could be so much better. Comments below show that the emphasis is more on food and not on beer unfortunately, thought this website was about beer!! Ales were the dreaded Doom Bar and Tribute and cider was one of Weston's and not a local. nobbythesheep - 21 Aug 2011 19:24 |
| Went in for a cheeky beer one wed afternoon while visiting Polperro! Was extremely happy with the choice of beers, and cider!! The ambience of the pub was lovely, very friendly locals and greeted with a smile by the bar staff. After looking at the menu, we decided a quick trip back to the car park to put some more money in so we could eat at the Pilchard, as the menu looked marvellous! I had a mountain of whitebait for starters and a surf and turf for mains which consisted of a 12oz steak (cooked to perfection), scollops, prawns (two types), mushrooms, peas, and proper chips! My wife had Brie wedges, and Local scollops and prawns in a lime and ginger sauce! Friends had brocolli and stilton soup, and a huge homemade cottage pie with big chunks of steak inside, and a creamy cheese topping! And finally scollop starter, followed by the pilchard seafood platter.........a behemoth of the platter world consisting of smoked and peppered mackeral, gambe and tiger prawns, crab, mussels, squid, and a crisp salad!!! Good job they didnt do puddings as there was no room left!!! Can honestly say that this meal was one of the best I/we've had. Best tasting, big portions, great value, in a great oldie worldie pub!!! If yuo ever get the chance to visit Polperro.........Eat and drink in this wonderful pub!!! thediddy - 9 Jun 2011 20:54 |
| Visited on a Thursday lunchtime having walked from Looe along the coastpath. Haven't been here for five years at least and it looked very different to what I thought. L-shaped single room with the bar on the inside of the L, sideways on to the door as you come in. Still, it was absolutely packed (it was half-term but not many kids in evidence) and we just managed to squeeze in. Food very fish based, which is good considering where it is, and good quality. No complaints bout the beer either! Set me up for the return journey. Lord_Jeffers - 2 Mar 2011 17:43 |
| Definitely number one in my own personal top ten. I've not seen the new bar (as a previous commentator mentioned) but I do love the worn and comfortable furniture, friendly staff, great fresh local crab, wonderful history and the clear feeling that this is a pub used all year round and not just a Cornish summer tourist trap. Polperro is a lovely place, this is a lovely pub. Go there now ! davidpuckey - 21 Mar 2010 00:39 |
| Always an enjoyable experience in this slightly dishevelled traditional pub... All the usual Sharp's range in decent nick,but I do find the 'newish' bar a bit overpowering in the context of the weather worn,comfortable surroundings... nuckster1511 - 23 Feb 2010 20:21 |
