The beers include Doombar and a guest ale for the discerning real ale drinker. The food is standard pub fayre such as steak, lasagne, ham egg chips, curry, scampi etc, but it is done really well. For example, the sirloin that was ordered rare, really was, not medium rare as you usually get. The onion rings were the usual frozen kind though and the lasagne was tasty if lacking the expected White sauce layer. The steak is £13.95 and so at the top end of pub prices but good value all the same. All the meals are available in kids portions (rather than a separate kids menu), the children were welcome in the bar and allowed to play on the pool table too. All in all a family friendly place to finish a long day on the nearby Praa Sands beach.

Nice family owned pub in Ashton. We went here at the recommendation of the owner of our cottage. I…read moreenjoyed my fish sticks and curly fries. Salad was higher quality than I had expected in a pub. Service was friendly. My husband had a good lamb shank with mint sauce. Nothing extraordinary, fairly simple, but it worked for us. And unlike the more upscale pub down the road in Germoe, this place had a free table. More old fashioned pub atmosphere than the other place too, more comfortable. This would be the better place with children, or to play a game of pool after dinner.

Until, a seagull swooped down and took it off the plate. The bugger then did a second run and nicked the other half. Management did replace the sandwich and the ladies ate it inside. Great pub.
