The Cornish Arms - Pub in Cornwall
Churchtown
St Merryn, Padstow, PL28 8ND, Cornwall
England,
United Kingdom
It could be the blueprint for how a good country inn should be. Come for the exceptional Sunday lunch and the atmosphere - it's unpretentious and authentic, with locals rubbing shoulders with walkers and holiday makers. The food, as expected when Rick Stein is involved, doesn't miss a beat. We're not talking gastropub or fine dining but good honest dishes cooked well – scampi in the basket, rump steak and chips, sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream. The merry bar is where the locals down pints of Tribute – the pub is owned by the St Austell Brewery. There's a wood-burner for winter evenings and a big garden for sunny days. The much missed canine star of Rick's TV shows would have loved a trip here, and no doubt have been thrilled beer on offer – Chalky's Bite.
