We stopped here for some lunch in July, unfortunately all the free pub parking had been taking up, so we had to use the national car park next door for a small fee of £3 for 4 hours. The view here is one of the best of any pub i’ve been, just a shame the car park is right in front, but that’s just being picky. They have a good selection of ales, ciders and the food was good with generous portions. We shared a huge plate of nachos. It was a little pricey, but not overly and the quality was very good. The staff behind the bar were very friendly and were a pleasure to chat to.

There was an added bonus while we were there, the Rattler jeep turned up and offered everyone free shots of their latest pineapple cider along with other flavours. Although a little sweet for my taste, I would still recommend one with ice on a hot summer’s day.

You’ll be amazed by Porth Joke (or Polly Joke) beach which is a secluded bay hidden away from the summer crowds, just a stroll away from The Bowgie.

The Bowgie Inn was once a Pig Shed although the word ‘Bowgie’ means Cow Shed in Cornish!
