We spent three nights in Golant, an idyllic Cornish village, right on the estuary, we ate there every day and we were never disappointed.
The fish on Friday was fresh, chips delicious and homemade tartar sauce with mushy peas for £12, outstanding, the beer and choices of gin good too.
The second evening it was deep fried squid followed by pies that were full and rich and no soggy bottom! Sunday lunch was the highlight though: rump of lamb, perfectly pink for my wife and a trio of meats for me, each cooked as I would want them with crispy potatoes, generous veg and roats potatoes, the ginger pudding almost finished us off! You can tell the chef cares and cooks to impress.
So the food and drink were great but it is actually the atmosphere, the locals (who know they have a good thing and support it) and the quick and friendly service overseen by Nick and his parents who are stars.
It is really lovely here, almost like being on the set of a film, hospitable, welcoming and warm in every sense.
Highly recommended. Thank you...
Read moreJust spent another weekend at the Fisherman's Arms beer festival, held every August. Superb! Great beer selection, great food, great service, great atmosphere! Live music every night and very friendly staff, a gem of a pub!
Super little pub this one and well worth a visit for a drink and a bite to eat. Snuggled down by the water in a quaint riverside village, the food is great and very reasonable. Under new management from the start of 2017, the new landlord Nick is so friendly and welcoming. He is creating a wonderful, cosy atmosphere. Really good menu with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients and homemade. I had lovely fish and chips with mushy peas there last night, while my wife had a brilliantly cooked steak. Super cheese board to finish with all Cornish cheeses. Nick is very keen on his beers and always ready to chat about them. Beers on tap last night were Doom Bar and a Skinners brew, Porthleven Pale Ale. Both superb and exceptionally well kept. Great pub, we will be...
Read moreWe're a family group of 11 and 'Ted the terrier' staying on holiday in Fowey and after reading the great reviews we decided to book for dinner on Sunday. The pub is very cosy with a warm atmosphere. This is an authentic pub not a chain pub if you know what I mean which personally I much prefer. Somehow they managed to set all 11 of us up on one table which was a bonus we did not expect! We were welcomed by very friendly owners / staff who attended to our needs well throughout the evening. All 11 meals were served at the same time, the food was both hot and delicious with all plates being completely emptied. I had the mixed roast which was amazing, I especially enjoyed the incredibly 'cheesy' cauliflower cheese and the homemade yorkshire pud. Whilst we were having desserts a group of local musicians arrived and started singing and playing their guitars which only added to the great atmosphere. All in all we had a lovely evening and I wouldn't hesitate to...
