Although not an ale lover myself, my two companions are ale drinkers and really enjoyed the Beer Festival in full swing. The barman was extremely helpful with knowledge on the subject and able to offer good recommendations as to taste etc. I... More

I have been to St Ives now several times and i am ashamed to say that its the first time i have frequented this establishment. It is situated in the heart of St Ives surrounded by shops. The outside of the building is well decorated with hanging baskets and leaded glass windows. There is a step to navigate over before... More

Very pleasant manager who made us feel welcome even with two children. Good beer and even cream tea! Classic old style pub inside.

This is a proper pub - they don't do food (apart from bar snacks); instead focussing on the beer and ales. It's not all that cheap but the beer is kept well and they hold an excellent real ale festival every Easter. Worth visiting if you're an ale conisseur who's in the area!
