The Blue Peter, Polperro

Great place to drink and for its atmosphere. Friendly staff and landlord. Can be hard work if you are over 6'6" but a few of the real ales will soon have you on your knees and enable you to miss the low ceilings. All year round pub well supported by locals. Great fun with live music. If you want posh nosh and plenty of room better to look elsewhere, but if you're looking for a decent pint, friendly folk and to have a good fun time, then there is no better place in the area, if not in the whole of Cornwall. If you're friendly, you are made more than welcome, and if you're not friendly better not come to Cornwall, as the locals will make sure you don't stay long, and more power to them! You can also just sit quietly and people watch, and there's plenty of interesting people to watch! It's great to know that pubs such as this still exist, not exactly PC, but never offensive. If you enjoy a decent pint but don't enjoy a visit here, then you are probably an extremely unhappy person. I make an effort to visit whenever down that way. I'm not a regular or known personally by the landlord or staff, but I am always made welcome, as is everyone I know or see in the pub, in particular by the landlord who has a humour that 'outsiders' might not immediately appreciate, but who is as genuine as they come. Long may they reign and keep this place as it is - a great place for a pint, friendly banter and an enjoyable time.
