What a cracking, traditional pub in Golant overlooking the River Fowey. Perfect in every way. We had lunch with the most amazing Cornish pasties and 'the best' salad. Served by a lovely lady and chef, very friendly. The menu is comprehensive, so much to choose from with a nice selection of ales. With plenty of undercover outside seating too. We will most definitely be back
Great little, proper old pub. The service was great and we were made to feel very welcome. The food was really good. It was a wet and windy Thursday evening so quite quiet but those who were there had a great time. It's in a lovely spot on the River Fowey (Foy for non-locals) so when it's daytime, it's got quite a view also. Thank you.
We spent three nights in Golant, an idyllic Cornish village, right on the estuary, we ate there every day and we were never disappointed.
The fish on Friday was fresh, chips delicious and homemade tartar sauce with mushy peas for £12, outstanding, the beer and choices of gin good too.
The second evening it was deep fried squid followed by pies that were full and rich and no soggy bottom! Sunday lunch was the highlight though: rump of lamb, perfectly pink for my wife and a trio of meats for me, each cooked as I would want them with crispy potatoes, generous veg and roats potatoes, the ginger pudding almost finished us off! You can tell the chef cares and cooks to impress.
So the food and drink were great but it is actually the atmosphere, the locals (who know they have a good thing and support it) and the quick and friendly service overseen by Nick and his parents who are stars.
It is really lovely here, almost like being on the set of a film, hospitable, welcoming and warm in every sense.
Highly recommended. Thank you Nick and staff.
