Globe Inn

3 North St, Lostwithiel PL22 0EG

Cosy and friendly 13th-century pub in the narrow streets of this old stannary town, close to the station and medieval stone bridge over the river. The rambling old building has a single main bar, with several drinking/eating spaces and a restaurant and sun-trap patio at the rear. The pub is rather food-orientated (fish and game are specialities on an extensive home-cooked menu), but you are welcome to go in just for a drink or two and a chat. The pub is named after a ship in a sea battle in 1813, during which a member of the one-time owning family was killed.

King's Arms

Fore Street, Lostwithiel PL22 0BL

This street-corner local on the main street has plenty to offer sports enthusiasts - darts, pool, and large-screen TV. The bar is elliptical in shape, with a partly wooden, partly carpeted floor, and furnished with tables, chairs, a settle and an upright piano. The walls are decorated with old local photos. The pub supports darts and pool teams, and there are quiz nights Thursdays. Live entertainment takes the form of a band on Saturday nights. Cider is available from a bag-box.

Royal Oak

Duke Street, Lostwithiel PL22 0AG

Busy and friendly historic 13th-century inn, just off the main road through the old capital of Cornwall. A stone-floored traditional public bar contrasts with a comfortable lounge and adjoining restaurant; the inn is known for good food. It also has an outside patio with protected area for smokers. A dartboard and pool table are available, and there are occasional quiz nights and live entertainment. Accommodation is in six ensuite rooms (5 double, 1 twin). There is reputedly a tunnel running from the pub cellar to the dungeons in the courtyard of Restormel Castle, which legend recounts may have been used for smuggling purposes.
