St Austell Dartmoor Best Bitter, Proper Job, HSD (H)

Friendly old pub near the dunes of Hayle Towans whose name is linked to a gory legend involving a well (see the notice near the door for details). The notice 'Familiarity breeds contempt' attached to one of the very low beams serves as a warning rather than a proverb. Recently tastefully refurbished to render the pub structure safe, the single bar room houses the pool table at one end, and a cosy drinking or eating area at the other with settles and a recently-exposed old fireplace. A painted mural depicting St. Ives Bay overlooks the pool table. The Proper Job IPA may be replaced with another beer from the St. Austell range. The kitchen is closed in winter between October and Easter.
301, 501, 515 (no buses in winter)
