St. Buryan Inn, Penzance

No it wasn't. The film's pub is located about 100 yards down the road - nearer the church (On a corner with a green door).

The Portcullis Inn, Bristol

Land people Ned and Natz do a brilliant job running this pub. I've seen the Portcullis open and close three or four times over the past decade or so. So, opening and running a successful (and pricey) real drink pub in the midst of the most serious recession since the 30s is highly commendable.
This tiny pub might just turn over one of the highest guest lists in Bristol. Also sells very rare and unusual lagers on tap and have bravely eschewed Guinness in favour of more cellar space for a worthier brew. It's a shame I live no where near it.

The Robin Hood's Retreat, Bishopston

Fairly dull beer selection last night. Plumped for a well kept pint of Summer Lightening. A shame that the garden has to shut at ten, as it's one of this pub's key selling points. Not many ale pubs with decent gardens in the area. The interior is heavily engineered for vertical drinking, which I am not really find of.
Food good, but very pricey. Beer prices reasonable.
