Hole in the Wall in Cornwall

I loved this pub, my Mum grew up in Bodmin and I spent many years visiting here and never realised that this little gem of a place was even here. The Landlord Steve was really welcoming, his pub was amazing, filled with antiquities, a proper traditional pub. We loved it

Shame drove here especially after looking for good eateries in area as we had travelled for weekend. Clearly do not like visitors outside area as was told upon asking no we don’t do food, which contradicts the website . Cold and unwelcoming to your key market ie visitors to area. Such a shame.

This is a lovely pub, friendly staff, it has a very nice local community feel and the locals are very nice too :). We didn't eat there but the drinks were nice.

Fabulous atmosphere. Steve & staff who made us feel so very welcome throughout our stay.

Fantastic beer beautiful place well worth looking and exploring

Early evening visit on Friday October 8th and what a find for two real ale lovers! A cosy, characterful and convivial inner bar with a real fire and a splendid range of ales, all very well kept by the landlord and bar team. We enjoyed the Butcombe's and Jail Ale that night.Although busy, the welcome from the bar team was genuine and friendly and there was lots of eye contact, smiles and nods from the local customers as we went in, which was so lovely and refreshing. Instantly felt 'at home'.What was intended to be a one pint 'pop in' turned into 3.5hrs stay and only the call of our stomachs called us away as at present the pub doesn't serve food, otherwise we would have been there until throwing out time! Our thanks to all for a memorable experience and in particular to Eric and Keith for engaging with us in lively conversation - lovely people.The shame for us was it was an overnight stop only but would highly recommend to those who love good ale and good company. So, please do seek this gem out and join in with the banter!

Fantastic beer garden to enjoy the summer weather. Very friendly landlord and a great selection of real ales, ciders and lagers. Not presently serving food but the landlord suggested we could bring a takeaway, so we ordered a very tasty Chinese takeaway from Wongs, just around the corner. What a brilliant idea. Definitely give this place a go, full of history and charm and super friendly.

There are quite a few criteria that qualifies for a perfect pub; good beer (obviously) membership of the Cask Marque Ale Trail (an optional extra) good food, a convivial atmosphere, a congenial host, affable patrons, cleanliness, an interesting history and good Covid compliance (a necessary contingency at the moment) and happily this establishment has all of them.Highly recommended by this reviewer who, as those followers will avow, has much experience in this affinity group

Amazingly quirky pub with loads of artefacts for the friendly landlord and customers to surprise you with!The ales are excellently kept with a wide choice, even in these troubling times.No food at the moment, but they are happy for you to bring in takeaway meals bought locally.A 'must try' place!

Great pub with tonnes of atmosphere. Covered in talking points and old memorabilia. Good selection of well kept Ales and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend for any ale enthusiasts.
