The City Inn, July 1998

A cosy atmosphere can be found in this tidy and traditional inn that's on the B3284 signposted Perranporth about ten minutes walk (uphill) from the city centre. A friendly atmosphere within with the bar which was full of mainly locals. There's plenty of seating outside in the well-tended back garden with its fishpond and the occasional intrusion of high speed trains as they pass by. Unusually the lounge bar has a rather unusual collection of water jugs!

A good range of excellently kept beers are available with an emphasis on beers from local and regional breweries such as Skinners. They also serve food both at lunchtimes and during the evening. Food was excellent value for money last time I visited..
