The Smugglers Den Inn is a 16th century thatched inn with family, beer garden, childrens play area and ample parking. The beer garden is where we like to crash and relax. While the kids play on the apparatus we chill with a ool drink in the sun and order from the menu full of lovely food and they always have plenty of specials on the board all made using the freshest local ingredients. It is situated in a little village called Trebellan, near Cubert, less than than 15 minutes from Newquay. You approach down a steep, high sided road which is typically Cornish and the pub is right before you and very welcoming. They have regular live entertainment and also have an annual Real Ale and Pie Festival which is is it's 9th year. It's definitely worth pulling off the beaten track and seeking it out for a refreshing treat.

There's not much going on in the village of Rock, Cornwall. It is a place many tourists go through…read moreon their way to Polzeath Beach, via the ferry from the much busier and much more attractive Padstow. There's not even much of the rock quarry visible that gave the place its name. So IF you're heading to Rock, why not stop at this rather nice restaurant which offers brilliant views of the bay. The menu is split into three time schedules, breakfast, lunch (12 to 6 p.m.) and dinner (after 6). The range is a bit higher key than the usual pub grub, and the chicken breast (topped with bacon and cheese) I opted for was rather nice indeed. The beer range is limited, especially on the hand-pumps - similar to the Rock Road Bar & Grill which inhabits the same building - and they may indeed be one item. Korev and some international lagers are available though. The view is indeed splendid and the staff were really nice when I visited. The outside seating can be covered, but it was not on this rather warm and sunny June day. Since there are very few alternatives here, I'd give The Rock Inn thumbs up. There is truly no real reason to go to Rock in the first place, but this one might be it.

The Malsters Arms is a country pub in the pretty village of Chapel Amble. After travelling down…read moreroads barely wider than our car to reach the Malsters, we felt like we'd been on a mini adventure! Set back from the road, the Malsters Arms seems to be the hub of the village with a mixture of traditional and contemporary decor. It has a warm and relaxing feel as soon you enter, empahasised by the friendly and helpful staff. The entrance is straight into the traditional bar area where you can sit and have a quiet drink. The more modern restaurant areas, branch off from this area. On our first visit we had tiger prawn linguini and stuffed mushrooms, all the food was exquisitely presented and full of flavour. The desserts were again packed with flavour, and presented wonderfully on stylish black plates. Not cheap at £14-£17 for a main, and over £5 for a dessert, but worth it for the food and the general ambience of the Malsters. As we were only on holiday for a week, we just had to go back for a second visit. Bathed in fading summer light and having chosen a simply sublime sea bass and salmon dish, the restaurant at the Maltsters is one of the finest dining experiences I've ever had! I would recommend it to anyone, I just wish we lived nearer! If you are going to go though, book, or otherwise you will be disappointed.
