The Pityme Inn

Dating back to 1868 and lovingly restored by the Wills family, The Pityme Inn is a true Cornish village pub: slate floors scuffed by sailing boots, scrubbed pine tables, and a roaring log fire that never seems to go out. The bar pulls Sharp’s, Skinners, and guest micros on rotation, with an ever-changing chalkboard of gins (25+), rums, and low-abv alternatives. Food champions field-to-fork simplicity—think cider-braised pork belly, cauliflower “wings” with harissa yoghurt, and doorstep sandwiches stuffed with Rock crab. Sunday roasts are legendary for mile-high Yorkshire puds and bottomless gravy. Families love the enclosed beer garden with pirate-ship play frame; four-legged friends get homemade liver treats. Upstairs, three boutique ensuite rooms—each named after local coves—feature super-king beds, rainfall showers, and locally roasted coffee machines, making the inn perfect for weekenders who prefer pub ambience to hotel formality. Quiz night is Tuesday, live folk on Friday, and summer sees pop-up “Pizz-Inn” nights in the car park with a wood-fired oven housed in a converted horse box. EV charging, free Wi-Fi, and takeaway growlers tick modern boxes, while the staff’s genuine Cornish banter keeps it real. Pull up a pew, order a pint of Doom Bar, and you’ll soon understand why visitors and locals alike say, “Meet you at Pityme.”
