Expensive. Average food. Bland chips. Pleasant but slow service.

Oh joy to find a little gourmet food pub after a lovely day at the beach just as the skies opened and we needed a place to relax and shelter. This place is very popular with locals and regular tourists and so unless you have booked it is difficult to find a table. A few tables are left unbooked each evening but you need to get there at opening time to bag one. The stone walled 'galley' is an conversion of a bowling alley within the pub and has beautiful views across the sea. Children under 14 are not allowed to eat in the bar which is where most tables are so you need to plan ahead for this one. The Galley is the family area with board games, toys and books to keep them happy.
The seafood was just gorgeous. This pub serves real food for you. And for the children which is unusual in our experience for the U.K. Local produce is used and there is a very extensive menu as well as regular specials. They have their own ale which is very mellow but also serve the very wonderful Sharps's Ales on draft. Cannot comment on the wine, coffee or bread which are my usual thermometers for a good place. But with the other measures it came out tops ! The loos were clean. The owners Dad was an entertaining gentleman who circulated as if it were his own private party and he wanted to be sure you were all happy. The views were stunning - moody skies and the food was as my 12 year would say 'Awesome'.

rather strange to be served gherkins in the stroganoff? A bit unexpected and not quite the traditional beef dish that i expected.

We have been regular visitors to the Halzaphron Inn ever since Angela Thomas and her late, much missed, husband, Harry, and she took it over when they decided they needed a less stressful place to run than Nansloe Manor in Helston. Angela and her second in command, Mike, make the place run like clockwork, turning out excellent meals. If one could bottle Angela's ringing, operatic laugh, one could market it as a sure cure for the blues.
