The Cornish Arms

When Rick and Jill Stein took over this ancient village pub, situated across the road from the parish church and overlooking a peaceful valley, the locals feared their treasured boozer would become a fancy gastro-pub. Luckily, the Steins' loved their local pub just as it was, a traditional pub, replete with slate floors, beams and roaring log fires, and have kept the food offering equally traditional, the chalkboard listing simple pub classics prepared from fresh produce. Wash down ham, egg and chips, battered cod with chips and mushy peas, or a fresh crab salad with a decent pint of St Austell Tribute ale, or a glass of Chalky's Bite, named after his much-missed rough-haired Jack Russell.
