See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Busy and friendly historic 13th-century inn, just off the main road through the old capital of Cornwall. A stone-floored traditional public bar contrasts with a comfortable lounge and adjoining restaurant; the inn is known for good food. It also has an outside patio with protected area for smokers. A dartboard and pool table are available, and there are occasional quiz nights and live entertainment. Accommodation is in six ensuite rooms (5 double, 1 twin). There is reputedly a tunnel running from the pub cellar to the dungeons in the courtyard of Restormel Castle, which legend recounts may have been used for smuggling purposes. The changing beer appears during the busier summer months.
