On the Truro-Falmouth rail branch line, this small and sociable 18th-century cottage-style village community pub lays an emphasis on good food; most of the tables are ofyten laid up for meals, so you almost have to sit at or near the bar if you only want a drink, but you are nevertheless very welcome to do so - the local drinkers are also well catered-for. Community involvement includes hosting a weekly knitting group (when the pub also opens early for coffee), and running special events in aid of local charities. Bookings for meals are advisable as the pub often gets busy with diners, especially in the evenings. The beers listed are constantly varied but are almost invariably from Cornish or Devon breweries. Bus services stop outside connecting with Truro and Helston or (from 2 min walk away, by the chapel, service 46) to Truro and Frogpool; the railway station is about 15 minutes walk away.
