Do I need to book?

What are the best Christmas events in Cornwall on a weeknight?
Most Christmas events in Cornwall land on a weekend. Our Wednesdays give you something festive midweek, when it’s quieter and easier to get a table: a craft night, a creative night, two food nights and a film for the family. Each one is small, so you’re not lost in a crowd.
Are they good for a Christmas night out with friends or work?
That’s what they’re made for. Wreath making and life drawing work well for a group of friends or a small team, and the dessert tasting and cheese and wine nights are an easy treat between Christmas and New Year. Book together and we’ll seat you together.
Is it dog friendly?
Dogs are welcome in the pub, as always.
