A popular locals' local in the heart of this ancient market town, this is a 17th century coaching inn whose name reflects the town's political loyalties after the Civil War - the battle of Stamford Hill took place near here in 1643. The pub has many original features including two simply-furnished bars with many original features, including well worn Delabole slate flagstone and wooden floors. During renovation of the large open fireplace in the lounge, a small bread oven was exposed. Up to three guest beers are available, usually from westcountry micro-breweries; the real ale choice is unusual in the area.  Draught cider is also available in summer only. Four letting rooms are available, one of which is ensuite. Good disabled access.

Intriguing 16th century coaching inn with three bars, including a plain public and comfortable saloon, as well as a skittle alley. The Galleon restaurant, set around the old stable yard, is constructed in part with beams taken from local shipwrecks. Anthony Payne, the last Cornish giant, was born here in 1610 - a hole had to be cut in the bedroom floor to get him out through the bar when he died. Meals 1200-1400, 1800-2100.
