Having walked along a section of the coastal path to St Just, we literally had just 5 minutes before our bus arrived but there was enough time for a good pint of Tribute (Proper Job also on handpull). We sat outside whereas inside was dark, wooden and a little cramped.

Certainly the cosiest pub in St. Just with a lovely roaring fire.
Slightly strange layout with a small bar area but a lovely pub none the less.

Lovely old pub in St Just, just a couple of doors up from the church in the main square. It's a St Austell house. So ale choice was limited to Tribute, Proper Job & Cornish Best. I opted for the latter and wished I hadn't. No reflection on the beer. It's just my thing. There are a number of different sections. Diners appear to use the area at the rear. Quite dark inside. But lots of character, with plenty on the walls to keep you occupied.

Quaint old pub in St Just that is well worth a visit. Superb food and a very warm welcome. My husband worked in India and Goa for many months and grew to become quite a curry addict, even making his own. Last week we visited the Kings Arms and he ordered the Goan fish curry, proclaiming it to be as good as any he has eaten in Goa and very authentic in flavour. A rare thing in a pub curry! My steak was well cooked and so tender it could almost be cut with a fork. I asked for no salad on the plate as I have an allergy to some of its components and I was immediately asked if I would like mushrooms instead. The landlady who was cooking that day actually came out of the kitchen and asked me if I would like her to make a special sauce for the mushrooms. Now that IS service. Fabulous food, amazing service and all washed down with real ale. What more could you ask?

Cosy pub on the main square. Friendly, welcoming staff and really good, imaginative food. Two ales (Tribute and Proper Job) were both excellent. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful, traditional pub with a really friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Only had St Austell Tribute ( a little lacklustre) and Proper Job (lovely!) when we were there but the food was exceptional. We had the Sunday Roast in there and the portions were absolutely enormous - to the point where I felt really guilty about the amount of vegetables we had to leave. No fewer than 6 different ones in 2 separate dishes between 3 of us. We were back later in the week for the 'normal' lunch menu and that was all beautifully cooked and presented as well. The landlord / landlady were very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely old pub dog - a Corgi/Rottweiler cross (ouch - that must have hurt !!). A pub that deserves to do well, especially as it's a up against a fair amount of local competition for such a small town.

We went to this pub one evening to savour the lovely relaxed atmosphere in the Market Square in St Just. Catching the bus from Botallack so we could have a good drink.
We were not disappointed as the beer was very good and a good selection to choose from too.
There was a large party in the same room enjoying a meal and the food looked and smelt wonderful.
We had already eaten that evening but decided to return one afternoon.
On first entry to the pub there was noise at the back but no one to be seen. We were waiting for about 10 minutes and some Germans came in trying to get served.
Eventually, someone came to the bar and served drinks. We had the most gorgeous burger with melted cheese and chips and salad. I would recommend this pub for food and drink and while you are there, take a look around it is a fascinating place.
Don't forget this is Cornwall so there is no hustle and bustle just a nice cosy atmosphere.

What a strange place! Seems to open and close at random. Went in on a Saturday night recently at 10.45pm only to be told that it was shut and that I should use one of the other pubs. Another night that week it didn't seem to open at all. Seems to be more interested in selling food although the beer I did manage to get one lunchtime was fine and the service friendly. I would suggest that you avoid this place and go to a real pub such as The Wellington (for beer & food), The Star (for beer & atmosphere) or The Commercial (guaranteed to get a seat!)

Nice pub,visited because of it`s award for good beer,friendly welcome and nice suroundings the food had been recommended so booked a table for that evening 45 minute wait for the food, steak and guiness pie the size of a buffet pork pie about a dozen chips in a wine reduced gravy no veg but a nice leaf on top, had a pizza on the way home.Not good value at all in my opinion but nothing wrong with the beer

What a transformation! New tenants have taken over and they have turned this pub around over night. Now warm welcoming and friendly and, within 6 days of opening the new landlord had achieved his caskmaster award!! Great news for serious beer drinkers!

Though not bad...the beer was not quite right, suprising as so much was being sold this weekend. Least friendly welcome in the town...not UNfriendly...just not all that bothered. The two dogs knawing on chews in the bar seemed happy enough.
|
Hopeless pub. It needs a proper bar. Excellent beer. Probably very good for food, which is the obvious priority here.
|
Excellent pub, lovely in winter with fire going full tilt.
|
Nice bit of scoff good ale JUST the ticket.
