The Witchball, The Lizard

A small but friendly pub with a lovely beer garden in the summer. Free house so use only local ales from a local brewery. Since the locals were excluded from the Top House we have been using the pub regularly. Food is excellent and reasonably priced and the pub tends to have a nice atmosphere. Can be a little cramped when it rains though!

The Top House, The Lizard

The Top House was taken over a few weeks ago by the family who own the Golden Lion in Stithians. Unfortunately it has since taken a dramatic turn for the worst. The new owners simply want to run it as a restaurant and have completely excluded their local trade through a number of means. For instance one of their first acts was to get rid of the folk evening and stop all other local fund raising events such as the quiz nights. An immediate stop to entertainment. OK so it is the summer season but you will now be asked to move if you sit at a table without buying a meal and from experience anyone who has argued has since been asked to leave. The locals are now boycotting the Top House in favour of the nearby Witchball. The food is OK but ridiculously overpriced when compared with the fayre on offer at the Witchball and Housel Bay Hotel, both nearby and better quality and cheaper in the case of the former. I look forward to seeing the for sale sign in the winter
