Jubilee weekend camping in Cornwall - First 9/10

62) The Rashleigh Inn, Polkerris.
After trying to take a short cut from the campsite I ended up trudging through half a mile of wet, waste high grass and jumping off a wall onto a narrow road, not my smartest move but I survived the jump and made it down the hill to the beach where the Rashleigh awaited. In my socking condition I was comforted by the warmth and the singing of what seemed to be a local choir/band. They weren't singing hymns or anything, the music was pub appropriate. They also have a good terrace area overlooking the beach. 7/10.

63) The Royal Inn, Tywardreath.
This pub didn't really have a lot going for it in my opinion. It reminded me of a small weatherspoons but as not dirt cheap. As with all the pubs over the Jubilee weekend there were a lot of Union Jacks inside however this was the only pub where I got the impression that the flags might be up all year and it may actually be a BNP pub. I did enjoy a couple thrying to big up Stargate Universe to their mates though. 5/10.









64) The Old Ferry Inn, Bodinnick.
Just a short ferry across the river from Fowey this pub serves a large but very poorly cooked double bacon cheese burger. I would recommend going up stairs and sitting on the terrace which overlooks the river, it's a stunning view. There are a whole host of beer towels on the ceiling and one room has a cliff rock wall. Although I like a lot about this pub it was a little too dingy and the overcooked burgers offended me. 6.5/10.
65) The Pandora Inn, Mylor Bridge. 
What a pub. We sat out on the pontoon and enjoyed the sun and the view of the estuary. The interior is dark but inviting with low roofs and a classic coastal pub feel to it. The food is good and there are several people around creating a very welcoming environment. It is similar to how the Ferry Boat in (Helford Passage) used to be about 10-15 years ago (still worth a visit). 9/10, top rated to date.
66) The Ship Inn, Fowey.
Great local, there is a room at the back with a long table if you're having a big gathering but the pub is good in the way that a few smaller groups will hapily share the table. The main pub area is cosy but a little small. Bar staff are friendly. 7.5/10.
