Campaign for Real Pubs: The Seven Stars

The Seven Stars

The Seven Stars, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 3QA

It’s twenty years since I visited here, but it’s well summed up by Adrian Tierney-Jones in last Saturday’s Daily Telegraph.

Apparently the roof board shown in the photo but absent on StreetView was blown off in high winds.

This is a truly magnificent pub. My only problem with it is that they don't let dogs in.

I was there in 2008, for my one and only visit, and got some good photos. Alas the roof board was missing then. Also the landlord died last month, but I understand his famnily will continue to run it.

WHAT ARE REAL PUBS?

Real pubs are pubs whose primary function is still the original core purpose of pubs – for people to meet and socialise over a few drinks.

They may serve food, and very good food at that, but they don’t allow it to dominate to the exclusion of all else. They’ll probably have a strong core of regular customers, but still make casual drinkers welcome. They may well serve a good drop of real ale, but won’t be full of beer bores droning on about hop varieties and IBUs.

In many parts of the country they’re getting very hard to find. In recent years, the smoking ban, beer duty hikes, the demonisation of “one-drink driving” and the general anti-alcohol climate have all had their effect, but such pubs do still survive if you know where to look and deserve to be celebrated.

Although in many ways they are a laudable organisation, this blog is not connected with and does not in any way represent the Campaign for Real Ale.

The inclusion of a pub does not necessarily reflect a recent visit by myself, although often it does.
