The Driftwood Spars Hotel, St Agnes

The new owners have brought about some excellent changes including their real ale policy and their beer festivals which are definitely worth attending. However what does let it down is the quality of food on offer and the prices charged in relation to this quality/portion sizing. The pub is right on the seafront in Cornwall yet when I ordered fish and chips there recently, the fish still tasted frozen, the batter was really greasy and soggy and they charged around a tenner for this. (Dopuble the rpice of the local chippy but half the quality!). We ate with a group of friends and I was not lone with my experience. The deserts were also pretty pricey and meanly portioned. I agree with kernowsaint that in terms of food they need to cater more towards the actual audience hey attract.
