Something a little different....

A CORNISH ALE FESTIVAL
Lower Quarter, Ludgvan, Penzance, Cornwall
Here’s something a little different for you, many a friend who knows me also knows my passion for a pint or two of real ale or wheat beer.

One of my favourite local tap houses is staging a real ale festival at the end of this month. This is an ale festival with a twist – purely Cornish.

The venue is The Old Inn at Ludgvan. Friday 26 Feb to Sunday 28 Feb.


The event is to feature 15+ beers, ciders and alcoholic ginger beer from:

All Saints Brewery
Hedley’s Apple Orchard

AND all guest ales at only £2.00 per pint!


More Info About The Pub

There's always a warm welcome from Nick, Gaye and all the staff at their traditional 18th century pub.  In addition to the main bar and eating area, the pub has a games room with Pool Table.  There's an open fire in each room and a piano.  Check out the room sized mural of "Old Ludgvan" in the snug.  The Old Inn is children and dog friendly too.  Definitely a "feel good" atmosphere.

There's usually a choice of three real ales on hand pull, sometimes four.  A strong alcoholic ginger beer is also stocked, Grandma's Weapons Grade, brewed at Carharrack just outside Redruth.  Other "specialist" brews on draught include Cornish Rattler, Cornish Lager and San Miguel.  There are, of course, numerous other taps and bottles offering the normal other choices.

The kitchen offers good food in the style of traditional pub grub, with all ingredients sourced locally where possible.  But also, if you are into pizza, this is a must go pub for you.  On a warm evening, sat outside with a glass of San Miguel and one of Nick's pizzas, all I need to do is close my eyes and I'm back on holiday in the Med or Canaries!  These delights are prepared fresh while you watch, they are not pre-packed, frozen or whatever - you will see the dough being prepared and you will see fresh ingredients go onto your pizza.  If you fancy something different to the menu, providing Nick has the ingredients, you could make up your own personal recipe.  Though powered by electricity, the oven is a proper, purpose made stone based Pizza oven.

Don't take my word for it, please click here and read some reviews.

  1. I like the post which contain some sort of experiences regarding the tap houses and other miscellaneous work.I agree with the stand that the kitchen offers good food in the style of traditional pub grub, with all ingredients sourced locally where possible. But also, if you are into pizza, this is a must go pub for you. On a warm evening, sat outside with a glass of San Miguel and one of Nick's pizzas, all I need to do is close my eyes and I'm back on holiday in the Med or Canaries!
