What a jolly pub (sorry). This is a charming old-fashioned place with great beer on the five hand pumps - HopBack Brewery's TEA and St Austell's Tribute were two of the choices when we were in last - and a full contingent of friendly locals. Any rumours that they're a cliquey lot were quickly abolished, we were served promptly by the cheerful staff, and spent the rest of a sunny afternoon here. The beer garden at the back is just the place for contemplating or debating over a couple of jars. It feels like a country pub in many ways, which is no bad thing in our book, and the place feels like it's lived in, rather than a place to pose with a poncey drink. The menu looks good, although we neglected to try it on our last visit. Frankly, it's the sort of boozer where you'd want to spend an afternoon with a pint, and maybe even a friend.
