A St Austell house. Right on the quayside, the location of which couldn't be better. Divided into two areas, one a bar area and the other more of a restaurant, all very 'olde worlde' with low ceilings. The food looked pretty good and seemed to be quite a few people eating.....but it was the Easter holiday, as virtually every house in the place is a holiday let. Not a particularly warm welcome as the kitchen seem to shut at 2.20 and not the 2.30 advertised.....why would you want to take money off punters......sometimes I despair of the work/business ethic in Cornwall. Beers in good condition, but as is anything to do with Fowey, the price for the same product is more expensive than another St Austell pub elsewhere. ridleyman - 9 Apr 2016 11:48 |
| We decided to miss a couple of ferries back to Fowey as we wanted to try both pubs in the village after doing the Hall Walk. Up the steps and into the Lugger which is a pleasant enough bar with a restaurant area at one end. Not many people in but as I've said before this is well out of season and most pubs were quiet (waiting for the Christmas rush apparently). We decided to eat here and ordered a mix of starters which were excellent - many being home-made. We tried the nachos; prawn cocktail; pate and olives with bread - just what we needed as a substantial snack and all very good indeed. Nicely presented and went well with our beers (St.Austell ales). Chatty landlord and overall we enjoyed our short visit. You can time the ferry from the bar window so I managed to squeeze in that final extra half pint! On a different note - the local 481 bus goes from Polruan to Polperro and Looe - this is well worth the journey as it serves the local community and whisks its way down some narrow Cornish lanes often at what seemed like breakneck speeds but all very invigorating!! mcroyal - 16 Nov 2013 14:40 |
| My dear laughingduck I am the landlord of the Lugger Inn. I can assure you that I did not write the comment below. It is true that my wife & I have just taken over the lugger but if you would care to take the time to read the comments from our last pub (The Russell Inn Polruan) I think you'll find that we strive to offer the best service available and that our customers value what we offer. In a time when so many pubs are being shut down I find it quite sad that some people have nothing better to do with their time than trawl the internet and valued sites like B.I.T.E writing comments about things that they have little or no understanding of, if indeed you have so much spare time on your hands may i suggest you try running a pub it's only 16hrs a day 7 days a week it may keep you out of mischief.I look forward to your expected rebuke. luggerlandlord - 3 Aug 2011 00:07 |
| The pub has changed hands in July and the new landlord is a chef! Unbelievably good value food, beautifully cooked but in great demand I would definitely say book ahead! Fantastic family are now running the place. Felt very welcomed and at home. Great selection of on tap beers, ales lager and ciders etc. Came over once before last year and had been massively underwhelmed but can't praise the place highly enough now. melted21 - 30 Jul 2011 13:05 |
| Old unspoilt pub with decent good value beer. Didn't eat there though, probably just as well after reading some of the comments! classic0904 - 10 Jun 2011 18:51 |
