Real Ale & Beers

We are a character and historic free house offering a wide range of Keg Beers, Lagers, and Cask Ales
.
The term 'Free House' refers to the fact that we are 'free of tie', in other words we can purchase our beers from any source, and not tied to a brewery, not as one party of visitors thought, that the beer was free!

Our regular real ales include St Austell’s Tribute, Sharp's Doom Bar and Skinner's Betty Stoggs.

For customers who prefer lager, cider or stout, we also serve the following:

• Carling, Carling Extra Cold
• Grolsch, Carlsberg Export
• Worthingtons, Worthingtons Creamflow
• Rattler - Cornish Cloudy Cider
• Strongbow Cider
• Guinness, Guinness Extra Cold
• Cornish Cream

Our wine menu is extensive and includes quality wines from around the world.

We have been featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, on a number of occasions.

The lower bar was converted from a cow shed, and the room above it was a hayloft. The upper bar was the main room in the farmhouse with its blue slate flagstones. You will note that each slate has a lifting hole, as the slates needed to be lifted if any coins dropped down the joints, when the room was used as a counting house. There is a stone fireplace, burning logs, with a rough hewn oak mantle, and to the right of the fire is a cloam oven, which is made of clay and was installed when the building was built. The oven has no internal chimney.

The restaurant was the farmhouse kitchen, and also has a cloam oven, and retains the original external doorway in the small extension at the back of the restaurant. You will notice that in the top bar the original ceiling beams are very crooked, as they were taken from local trees. The door behind the servery was made from large pine trees, which were cut down when the accommodation extension was built, and the vertical pillars in the bar were taken from the Mill, when it was converted to living accommodation.
