Cobweb Inn - Boscastle — Restaurant in England

I've been in here when you can't swing the proverbial cat - the food is standard pub fair and the service good - but tonight was nicely quiet. This allowed me to both have a decent butcher's at the whiskey water jugs and ceramic tobacciana strapped (literally - they use hostage grade plastic cable ties) to the ceiling beams as well as acquaint myself with some of the locals (well a recently relocated Brummie at any rate). The beer in here is well kept (I went down the bar starting with the two Tintagel ales - both as good as at the tap down the road where it's brewed) and it feels like the genuine dressed down independent ale House it is as opposed to a gimmicky tourist trap. I'm guessing it wears two coats - it's got to cater for the tourists to survive but it wants to be the cool kid on block too - I think it does this quite well wearing its long history with pride leaning into some of its old traditions (live music around the piano) to keep the crowds coming. There aren't 20 drinking establishments in Boscastle anymore but it's the best of what's left - drop in and try 4 pints of Caliburn before walking back up the...

Heard a very good live band playing ("Vinyl Frontier" great name!) on Saturday night and as musicians ourselves we decided to venture in for a listen, bought some drinks for my wife and I and listened to the band. They were great, people were up dancing - I would have rated the atmosphere 10/10... until....When our drinks were finished the manager came and took our glasses away, which at first I thought was nice, until he then said I needed to order more. I told him I was driving and had already drunk enough, to which he told me, mainly through use of rude gestures, that if I did not buy another round I had to leave the property! So I did.

The funny thing is that if it was not for that rude encounter we would most likely have returned for a proper meal and drinks and maybe even left a nice review. As musicians we completely understand how it works - we often gig for no money at all, and pubs are struggling. We get it. But it makes absolutely no business sense to be so rude to those who would otherwise have returned. So sadly, my...

Very disappointed. According to their website, Wednesday night is steak night. Booked a table the week before our holiday started. We were really looking forward to our ribeye steak with all the trimmings for just £16. Having ordered our drinks and started our tab we sat at our table only to find no mention of steak night on the menu. Asked a member of staff who told us that wouldn't start for maybe another 6 weeks. Not at all impressed. Ribeye was on the regular menu but considerably more than the £16 quoted on the website. As the chances of getting a table elsewhere in the village were slim we decided we would just have to have something different. We both ordered lasagne, least said about that the better. Didn't stay for more drinks or pudding. Paid up and left. Mentioned the issue to staff member who couldn't have cared less. Our aim was to eat at all establishments this holiday and spread our money around. Whilst all others so far have given a great service and great food, all with a smile, the cobweb was sadly lacking...
