Situated in the picturesque village of Lanivet, often considered the geographical centre of Cornwall, the Lanivet Inn embodies the essence of a traditional Cornish village pub. Since taking the helm in January 2015, proprietors Rob and Nat Liddicoat have dedicated themselves to preserving the inn's character while enhancing its offerings to meet contemporary expectations. Their commitment is evident in the pub's welcoming ambiance, where both locals and visitors can enjoy wholesome, locally sourced food and a selection of fine beverages.
The inn's menu showcases the best of Cornwall's seasonal produce, with meat sourced from Button Meats in Bodmin, fresh fish from Fish For Thought, and dairy products from Rodda’s in Redruth. This dedication to local sourcing ensures that each dish not only supports the community but also delivers on freshness and flavour. Complementing the culinary delights is a variety of award-winning local beers, including permanent ales like Proper Job, Tribute, and HSD, alongside an ever-changing guest ale from both local and national breweries.
Beyond its food and drink, the Lanivet Inn serves as a vibrant community hub. The expansive beer garden, reputed to be the largest in the Bodmin area, features a covered, heated section, making it a perfect spot for gatherings regardless of the weather. The inn hosts regular events, including bi-weekly quiz nights, and supports local league teams in darts, pool, and euchre. A recent addition to the garden is a shuffleboard, offering yet another entertaining activity for patrons. Whether you're seeking a hearty meal, a refreshing pint, or a lively evening of games and camaraderie, the Lanivet Inn provides an experience that captures the heart and soul of Cornish pub culture
