Riverside pub they didn't mention which, although expensive and a bit of a tourist magnet, is worth a visit if you are on the Deben The Butt and Oyster at Pin Mill 004 by mudlarker2, on Flickr

Me and the boy went into a Thames-side pub last year and the cheeky fuckers charged me over £10 for two pints of very average beer.

I did a few holidays with the step family in St Just in Roseland when I was a young free and single tall handsome rich teenager. We regularly visited St Mawes. That would have been around 1990. Cornwall is okay. I am quite a bit older than you! We holidayed in St Mawes annually from 1961 to 1974. It wasn’t posh then, but seems quite posh now (we went back about 10 years ago for a look, had dinner at the Tresanton). My dad had an Enterprise dinghy and we used to hire a motor-sailor day boat called Scaup. Took both over to Mylor fairly regularly, depending on the tides.

We are some of the few who do not rate the Anchor at High Offley.People rave about this place & we so wanted to love it-beer brought up from the cellar in jugs & no fancy food.Sorry,but the beer was not well kept.In this type of pub,the beer has to be good.

Only went once. Not much impressed. Every time we’ve passed since then it’s been closed.

Visited with friends around 2001, as the door was open and the place was full of drinkers.
We waited to be served ... and waited ... and waited ...
we could see an elderly lady in the back, who made eye contact with us several times, but otherwise ignored us.
After an age, one of the seated customers said that if the lady was going to serve us she would have by now.
We left, never to return.
A local place for local people no doubt.

the Plume of Feathers in Portscatho is my favourite in the Roseland We used to visit Portscatho regularly when staying at St Mawes. But in those days, it was about the ice cream rather than the pubs!

Rog We had a simlar experience, except there was only a couple of other customers there, after waiting for what seemed to be some time with no service, the missus "got the hint" and demanded we keep on going to Norbury Junction for the night.
