The Cornish Arms

"We're very happily tenants of The Cornish Arms, in the village of St Merryn, just outside of Padstow. Their beers have improved massively over the last few years mostly down to head brewer, Roger Ryman, Tribute, Tinners, HSD and Proper Job, these are some really special cask ales. I'm also working on a couple of recipes to go with their bottled beer, Clouded Yellow will be a great alternative to our own beer with food Chalky's Bark and Chalky's Bite." Rick Stein
