(H) Situated
high on the cliff top above Porthtowan, this large, convivial and
family-run 16th-century pub was originally opened to slake
the thirst of miners from the nearby copper and tin mines. In bygone
days, pedestrian funeral corteges would stop outside, rest the coffin on
the nearby horizontal cross, the Towan Cross, and take refreshment
within. The single bar interior is open-plan with separate dining areas.
The quiet atmosphere is cosy with comfortable furnishings and nautical
themed décor throughout. The house beer is Skinner’s “Kiss Me
Harder”, a name chosen by locals in keeping with pub connections to
Nelson’s flagship. The guest beer makes only occasional
appearances and will normally be from a local brewery. A good quality menu is offered lunchtimes and evenings. Families are
made welcome, with the adjoining conservatory doubling as a family room. or
additional dining space. Traditional pub games plus pool are played, and
a large beer garden and ample car park are available. For the hardy,
there are also camping facilities. With extensive sea views to enjoy,
this pub is the ideal spot to sup a pint or two, but be warned - it can
be a bit breezy! |
