Inside the décor is hard to describe, to me it's almost like an old gentlemans club with leather chairs and shelves full of old books, before the smoking ban the place used to be full of cigar smoke. They serve good real ales and lagers and do some really nice pies and liver etc, check out for any lunchtime offers as well, last time we managed to get some really good value lunches that tasted great.

This was a great find just away from a couple of the major roads in Truro. It looks brilliant.

By the bar there are some mugs hung up with peoples names on them. I hope that they really do belong to locals, rather than being part of the 'look'. There are generally 4 ales on pump. I came at a bad time however, as only one was on. Fortunately it was the one I had never had before, Kiddlywink, from the excellent Skinner's brewery nearby If I'd come when all the ales were on and I'd had more time to stay, I could imagine this place getting a perfect score. As it is, I will heartily recommend it and hope to be back.

We dropped in one day almost by accident but were so glad we did, it's a really large pub with lots of little rooms and booths so you can always find somewhere quiet to sit, they serve real ales and the menu is one of those Traditional Pub Grubs with everything under the sun on it, all well cooked well priced and very tasty. The view from the back garden is fantastic looking right out over Carnon downs and across the farms and fields towards Redruth. The staff are always friendly and it's a great place to go after a long walk around the nearby Trellissick gardens, even in the summer on a weekday it's fairly quiet and would be good for larger parties or families.

It is apparently the oldest pub in Truro (earliest reference 1802)..and long may it continue! Unfortunately it serves quite a predicable range of ales to a Londoner (The Greene king regulars + Doom Bar), so perhaps more interesting to the locals. Fortunately they do have 1 guest ale to keep things interesting (It was a very decent Waggle dance when I was there). Also serves food and cheap doubles. Family friendly.

They show sports on large tv's for most of the week and the place can get pretty busy on a weekend evening, drink prices are pretty fair with drinks offer advertised behind the bar. What keeps bringing me back here is the outside seating, that in the summer after work is a fantastic place to unwind, just listening to the breeze in the surrounding tree's and the running water of the nearby stream, really relaxing as there's also hardly anyone there at that time of day!
