What better way to welcome the change of season than to feast on some traditional British food at a prime pub location?

Cornwall Pub Trail are pleased to announce their November Pub Food Festival that will be delivering real ales, real food and real fires across the county in a spectacular series of events.

With 40 pubs across Cornwall and Devon participating in this exciting event, the festival will see each week of November following a different theme for a wonderful variety of flavours and venues.

Whether countryside or coastal, cosy into some of the county’s most scenic spots and variety of venues that will all stamp their own twist on the themed events in supreme style.

Creating fresh and flavoursome dishes using locally sourced ingredients for tasty, home-cooked meals - the pubs’ traditional approach and dedicated aim to please will be evident in every mouth-watering morsel.

Kicking off in homage to National Sausage Week between 1st-5th November, expect an array of delicious dishes from sausage casseroles to toad in the hole as each pub showcases their individual culinary delights and character.

The 7th-12th November will present one of the nation’s popular favourites courtesy of Pie Week, which will be followed by another traditional dining staple during Pudding Week (14th-19th November).

Featuring recipes and ingredients that the area is famed for – the finale takes fine form of Fish Week from 21st-26th November.

Celebrating Pie Week, The Halsetown Inn near St Ives will be offering two pies for just £10, while the three Pub Trail pubs in St Agnes (The Miners Arms Mithian, The Railway Inn St Agnes and The Peterville Inn) will all be serving up different dishes throughout the month.

Pubs partaking can be found at www.pubtrail.co.uk/cornwall, which offers a wealth of information including details on location, facilities, food and drink, entertainment and reviews. The definitive guide to the best pubs in Cornwall and beyond – the Pub Trail website is replete with ideas for a brilliant day or night out.

The Hole in the Wall, Bodmin


Pub Trail Cornwall have been sent a great review for the Hole in the Wall, Bodmin and I thought I would share it will you just in case you were in the area.

We visited this delightful pub purely by chance whilst diverting from the A30 on our way home to London after a great stay in Sennen. This pub is both dog and baby friendly and the staff are excellent. The landlord and his wife are so bubbly and this atmosphere radiates throughout the pub, you enter a stranger, but within a few minutes you feel like a local! The pub is steeped in local history and is a lovely setting to relax, unwind and enjoy some good local ales.
The food was great, we had the Mussels and some fish and chips. I would not normally think chips worthy of a mention, but these were the best chips that I have had in years.
We would definitely recommend this lovely pub.

AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY BEER FESTIVALS IN CORNWALL

4 days, 4 pubs, 4 festivals…

Celebrating the August Bank Holiday in supreme style, a series of four Cornish pubs are set for an extravaganza of entertainment and real ales during a brilliant 4-day beer festival from Friday 26th – Monday 29th August.

Each one will host a range of live music and entertainment, providing a fabulous mix of food and beer for an unforgettable Bank Holiday Experience.

The Trevelyan Arms in Goldsithney is a classic child and dog-friendly pub located in the centre of the quaint village. Their Beer & Cider festival will see festivities kick-off with live music on the Friday night followed by a Casino Night with the Conker Club on Saturday. Sunday will be a more chilled out affair with contemporary Jazz and a barbecue, while Monday will feature Blue Grass Music, Flats & Sharps.

For Old World style surrounds, head to Pool (near Redruth) for The Plume of Feather’s fantastic beer fest. From 2pm on Saturday 27th, live music and a Hog Roast will be served followed by their traditional, freshly cooked Sunday roast the next day (3 sizes, from £5.45), offering a tasty choice of 3 meats. With scores of seating, a split-level bar and pool table, this historic pub is full of local character and charm, sitting proudly in the heart of Cornwall’s mining heritage.


Invitingly positioned on the moorland between St Ives and Penzance, the scenic Engine Inn in Nancledra will start their first ever beer festival with an exciting Open Mic night on Friday 26th. Saturday’s entertainment will spill from afternoon into evening with several sets, including Tom Dale at 2pm, Mind the Gap – 4pm and Area 51 from 9pm. Sunday will see a spectacular array of live music with 3 local singers who form Belerion singing Cornish songs from 3pm, 5pm Cobolts Rest live at 5pm and rounding off the day are Dirty Living Rhythm Band at 9pm – all alongside a heady host of Cornish real ales.

Still fresh from their first beer festival earlier in the year, the Fisherman’s Arms in Golant boasts a prime position on the beautiful banks of the River Fowey for a stunning setting – ideal for some Cornish beer swilling and live music courtesy of Cobalt Roots on Friday and Skeleton Crew on Saturday. Recently refurbished to the highest standard while maintaining its original 1826 character, the pub provides sheltered seating in the terraced beer garden overlooking the river.
