Aside from the cheesy deliciousness, everything about our visit to Crumplehorn Inn was pleasant. The manager that sat down with us to tell us about the history of the building, the impressive vegetarian menu and just the general ambience of the place. We chose to eat here for two reasons: 1 - the menus are written outside on chalkboards near the road. That way you can see what's being served without going in to ask for a menu. This is very good for us because as vegetarians, we've had to leave restaurants before if they don't have veggie options. 2 - it was one of the few places open. Just a friendly tip--don't go on holiday in November. Everything is frickin' shut. A lesson we learned the hard way! Anyhow, the Crumplehorn had it's doors open and we were lucky to have gone in. This place was one of the highlights of our Cornwall holiday. A must if you're visiting Polperro or Looe.

The village this Pub is nestled in is so picturesque when combined with good weather you'd happily wonder whats the point of going abroad. Kingsand is not massively accesible, but once you're there with places like the Devonport there you don't need to go anywhere. Sat looking over the beach you can happily sit outside to eat or drink and easily take 20 paces to feel the sand between your toes, at night the view doesn't dissapoint either looking. The Devonport is a Free house and so can get in whatever beer it fancies, however I will temper this with the four pubs in the village do appear to quite like having Skinners on Tap and then a couple of others to keep the variety going. The place is run by Dawn and Jerome, Dawn manages the front of house as a friendly and helpful Landlady, while Jerome makes magic happen in the kitchen. The Food from sauces to pies, chutneys to cheesecake Jerome makes it all himself, and if you're a fan of supporting local business' then with the Devonport you get a double whammy as Jerome makes it his business to supply his kitchen with produce as close by as possible (from getting rhubarb in the local gardens to going to sea with the fisherman who live in the village), the only things he doesnt make are his bread and pasties, but they come from the bakery just round the corner. Does this attention to detail come at a price? I don't think so, the quality surpasses the price (I've got to recommend the Rib Eye steak, which comes with chips done in beef dripping... sooo tasty) and I would happily say their food is of the same quality as top restuarants Citys like London and Manchester where you'd easily be paying double if not more. Pints workout about £2.50 lovely lovely, the wine is not cheap plonkand that is shown on the price, again like the food you're paying for quality (I had an amazing Rioja which I'm kicking myself for not noting the name of), I didn't get round to spirits so not sure how they workout. Something that I must mention as it is a personal love of mine. The Devonport has no TV's. It's a pub...that's a pub, it relies of its drinks and food not what "Football" is on to get people in. If you find yourself in this little village, you'd be a fool not to visit the Devonport

Ceilings so low even I had to duck a couple times around the many old wood beams and brick arches all over the place. Very small but intimate, warm place with lots of little nooks and cool little places to cuddle up with your special one and a few great pints. Live music was excellent, and it definitely filled the place, making it actually a bit too hot for my comfort, but that's how the English do it. Seating outdoors as well for the smokers. Small bar food menu, but also an upper restaurant part as well with full menu of your usual British food. So glad we stumbled upon this place, somewhat hidden from the main road, and will always be a place we visit when in town.

My Husband and I made a special trip to dine at Finnygook when we travelled from Cornwall to…read morePlymouth. I read up on Finnygook and liked their mission statements regarding food and their menu looked appealing. Locally sourced ingredients for classic pub meals that were innovative sounded like a great combination. Upon arrival, we were welcomed to have a pint at the bar. The service staff was hospitable. The ambience was that of familiar warmth of the local pub. We were seated by the window with a lovely view of the water despite it being a dark and rainy afternoon. My Husband ordered the mushroom soup and I ordered the shrimp and crayfish cocktail. The soup was absolutely stunning but my cocktail, though exactly as described did not have any spectacular high notes. Because we made the special trip to dine at Finnygook, we ordered three mains to try out as much as we could. We had the Ribeye with grilled vine tomatoes with an added peppercorn sauce, the fish pie and the lamb shin. Overall the food was prepared sufficiently but there lacked any real distinct flavors from the ingredients or seasoning. The steak though well prepared in doneness would have lacked any flavors without the addition of peppercorn sauce. There was no satisfying juicy meaty flavor, no sunkissed sweetness from the tomatoes that tasted more commercially grown than locally sourced. The crustless fish pie was smothered in a generous layer of potatoes, again with no distinguishing flavors in the filling. The accompanying vegetable medley tasted like it was boiled in plain water then drained for service. The lamb shin was the most disappointing. The lamb shin appeared quite majestically on the plate again with a side of indistinguishable and lackluster vegetable pile. The meat fell off the bone beautifully but other than the subtle gaminess of the protein, the dish had no flavor. I think the vegetables should have been seasoned to start but preferably roasted instead of boiled until disintegration so that you could identify them. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding and the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake for dessert. The sticky toffee was as expected, sweet and sticky but with a nice mild ginger flavor. The raspberry cheesecake filling was tasty but there were unexpected crunchy white chocolate chips within the filling that ruined the textural experience of each bite. The bottom crust was too thick and quite hard which meant each time you cut into it with your fork, you risk making a terrible sound on the slate plate or chancing that the crust will go flying across the room. The blood orange sorbet smelled and tasted soapy and was an odd combination with the cheesecake flanked by two chocolate tuiles. The desert seemed pretentious without a clear direction. In summary, Finnygook lived up to its mission statement of providing classic pub food, perhaps even more as classic stereotypical British foodfare devoid of any real seasoning and flavors. It is important to note that we still enjoyed our meal because the experience of being there was a pleasant one. We most likely will not revisit Finnygook Inn for another meal, not because we live thousands of miles away but because it isn't worth travelling from thousands of miles away again to eat a meal that didn't satisfy the tastebuds. I will insist that for a local pub, it is an amazing place which no doubt many others will enjoy.
