A great pub and not much to fault it, but you do sometimes get a "saloon doors" feel from the locals when you walk in: they have yet to come to terms with its ever-growing nationwide renown. The beers are excellent (Uley Brewery is only a couple of miles away), and the building is authentic. Worth the trip past the new library to see.

Fantastic real ale pub - a beer drinker's delight. Shame they now sell food, but they do limit this to lunch and early evening. Very popular, traditional boozer, with 8 - 10 real ales in superb condition. Likes to support local brewers too, some always some interesting finds to try. Gave it 9 - would have been 10 if they'd resisted the urge to reserve tables for food at lunchtimes. Fantastic pub!

Visited this pub today specifically after reading the good reviews on this site.
Immediately felt welcomed by both staff and the warm and cheerful atmosphere. Eight or nine real ales on sale, tried the Old Ric and Hogs something or other. Both delicious, as were the meals. The pork and apple burger, served with apple sauce and a touch of Parmesan and salad, was so big the better half couldn't eat it all. Don't you love it when that happens and you have to finish it off.

Got taken here whilst visiting friends. "We've got a CAMRA award winning pub locally". Going to be boring now, but have to agree with previous reviewers. Happened to be the last day of their Valentines Beer Festival and there were seven real ales on offer. Only had time to try the Top Tottie and it was superb, although very dangerous - the sort of beer where five or six pints could quietly slip down unnoticed, and suddenly you're in trouble.

The pub itself, typical old fashioned boozer, very sympathetically restored. What's more, they are proud of their reputation and do typical CAMRA type things e.g. on March 17th there is a "Meet the Brewer" evening where someone from St Austell is coming along, and they are offering a "Pint and a Pasty" for a fiver. Just wish there were pubs like this near where I live.
