22nd October 2022. I finally summoned the energy to leave the Premier Inn at Helston at 11:17 on the Saturday. In truth if I hadn’t arranged to meet my Sis in Falmouth I might have stayed a third night and started on the Doom Bar at the Beehive, about which What Pub has exceedingly little… Continue reading “That one !”.

“MY MOTHER HAD DINNER WITH TOMMY TRINDER” – BACK TO THE SEVEN STARS
16th January 2020 (still) No, I couldn’t resist it. Particularly since it involved an impersonation of Joker on the way down to The Moor. My third trip to the Seven Stars, all since the Rev John Barrington Bennetts died. 5 points if you know what makes the Rev unique. In 2020, the year that Wickingman… Continue reading “MY MOTHER HAD DINNER WITH TOMMY TRINDER” – BACK TO THE SEVEN STARS
UP THE HILL TO FALMOUTH CRAFT
16th January 2020 Still on Day 2 of the Great South-West Saunter, now we enter Craft Central. Incidentally, the traffic must be light at the moment (9.46am on Saturday) as you can apparently do Waterbeach-Falmouth in 5hrs 47. It can take longer than that to get to Cromer. Sis was staying with Niece and John,… Continue reading UP THE HILL TO FALMOUTH CRAFT
TOP 100 PUBS – THE SEVEN STARS, FALMOUTH
Yesterday was my Bass day in Falmouth. I needed a Bass day, having just worked out where my pictures on my early posts here have gone (I’d deleted them). Good job Mrs RM is an IT expert. Perhaps I can get my youngest son to increase storage space and put the photos back as his work… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE SEVEN STARS, FALMOUTH
CAMBORNE – MERTHYR WITH PALM TREES
It’s a flying visit to my sister, and a first trip to Falmouth without a beer in that town’s wonderful pubs. It looked quiet; even the Harbour Lights chippy was shut for winter. You can’t really visit the ‘front without a takeaway from there. Same great views though. I did get the chance to explore Camborne… Continue reading CAMBORNE – MERTHYR WITH PALM TREES
TOP 100 PUBS – ‘FRONT, FALMOUTH
My 3rd trip to Falmouth this year, and I found the town as vibrant as ever, albeit slightly quieter just before the Christmas festivities kick in. It really is a place where you discover new views, walks and bars on each new visit. There’s probably as much creative energy here, on a small scale, as anywhere. This time my… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – ‘FRONT, FALMOUTH
FALMOUTH
Until this year Falmouth was probably the largest UK town I’d failed to visit, somehow managing to bypass it en route to the more exciting Redruth, Blisland and Launceston during a half dozen trips to Cornwall. I knew it’s reputation as a lively student town, home to Rev Barrington’s Seven Stars, but the maritime side… Continue reading FALMOUTH
BEER BETTER IN PINT GLASS – SCIENTIFIC PROOF
WARNING: MAY CONTAIN CRAFT KEG I had a bit of flak on Twitter recently for suggest to an Edinburgh that beer always tastes better in a pint glass. This week in Falmouth, with the aid of my renowned beer expert sister, I was able to gain the necessary scientific evidence (i.e. a sample size of… Continue reading BEER BETTER IN PINT GLASS – SCIENTIFIC PROOF
