Stopped off in Truro on the way back from the Eden Project (AKA Kew Gardens Writ Large) to give the two GBG pubs a try. This was my second of the two after the Wetherspoons (had to work my way up for the hill ascent) and I have to say this place really was a crushing disappointment.

The pub is split into two areas, a nice area set out with ostentatious dining tables and all I can describe as a dark, grotty area for the drinkers away from a small bar area where all the locals were crushed into. The gents were also pretty rancid, what are those brown streaks running down the wall by the sink about?

There were three ales on - Sharps, Courage Best and Skinners Betty Stoggs. I opted for the Betty Stoggs and got a pretty insipid beer for my trouble. Perhaps I should have tried another of the beers to see if was just unlucky given the dislike of the place itself I didn't feel any desire to stay on so left.

GBG or not, I'd struggle to summon up any recommendation really.

Lovely pub a short walk from the centre with a community local feel to it. Good ales and a suntrap of a garden. Always visit when on holiday in the area.

This place is worth finding, it is only a short walk. Skinners beers served beautifully. Betty stogs is to die for. Sharps doom bar and exmoor gold. The menu looked good and the is darts and pool. 8/10

Fanatastic selection of beers seven when I went in Skinners stoggs and knocker, courage best and sharps doom bar with exmoor gold, timothy taylor landlord and black sheepbitter. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent value for money and they do bed and breakfast. Great pub that needs to be sampled. Happy drinking

Top pub. One of the best local pubs I have ever found. Bible (Good beer Guide) regular. Excellant beer from Devon and Cornwall. Never made to feel unwelcome. Well worth the walk up the hill! SUPERB!
