We have eaten here a few times over the years after walks across the nearby moors or after a nearby cold water swim in the sea, and we have never been disappointed.
After a relaxing weekend of stillness and getting back to nature in the beautiful Cornish countryside, come Sunday we wasn’t ready to go back home and cook. We booked our Sunday table the night before with no fuss. However, it is likely that as the season progresses, more advanced bookings would be prudent - to ensure you get a table.
Set in the beautiful village of St Neot, the Inn is very popular and generally always busy. This establishment has a lovely atmosphere and the feel of a proper traditional cosy inn, with many of its original features and charm around the building. The staff here are very professional, friendly and welcoming. And, it’s dog friendly!
There is a good selection of drinks. Although, a limited choice of whiskeys on offer. But, the pint of draught Dartmoor Legend is always well kept here. The menu is simple and with a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options available. There is also some great meal deals on throughout the week worth checking out.

We have had beef on other occasions, and that has generally been cooked well. Oh, and their sticky toffee pudding is delicious!

There is parking out to the front of the inn, but it is limited to around 6-no. vehicles.

Overall, even though this is a free house, it is more tailored towards being a restaurant than an actual inn, the food here is good hearty ‘pub grub’ food that is reasonably priced, and it is set in a beautiful traditional old Cornish inn that is full of character. We would...
Read moreWe've visited a few times..dog friendly, cosy local pub with open log fires. The food has previously been delicious. Today, however was different...we arrived for lunch...the carpets hadn't been hoovered from the previous session, and the condiment and cruet container on the table was grubby and not as clean as previously. Undeterred, we ordered our lunch. My partner's scampi was fine. I ordered the steak ale and mushroom suet pudding. On cutting it open, there was little in the way if steak inside, other than 2 of 3 small pieces. There were however, 2 or 3 large lumps of fat...which I brought to the attention of the barmaid. The response was a disinterested 'I'll tell them.' Unfortunately, it put me right off the rest of my meal which I left....
