Some 160 years old, this building was once Fry's butcher's shop. A river runs under the small, intimate tiled bar. Half pub, half music venue, it serves food during the summer months from Easter to October; the second guest ale appears in summer. At the time of inspection the plan was to continue developing an open-plan layout so everyone could see the bands, which are frequent and varied. The pub also stages 'alternative' theme evenings. There are one or two guest ales, usually from the local Tintagel Brewery.
