The Pandora Inn

Our View

When you visit the Pandora, it’s easy to forget you’re in the 21st century – its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek is timeless. Parts of the inn date back to the 13th century and, with its flagstone floors, low-beamed ceilings and thatched roof it’s not difficult to believe that little has changed since that time. While the Pandora’s wonderful setting remains unchanged, everything else in this cosy traditional inn is 21st-century comfort and quality. Publicans John Milan and Steve Bellman pay attention to detail in everything – from the food and service, to the decor and furniture. Alongside an excellent wine list and the local ales from St Austell Brewery, chef John Poole uses the freshest local and seasonal produce, including fish and shellfish bought from boats landing at the Pandora’s own pontoon. Dine on that very pontoon, at a table by the water’s edge, or in one of the series of little rooms inside.
