Old Ale House

Everything you look for in an old ale house. Is exactly as it’s called. Good place to start a night out in Truro if you prefer your ales.

Looks like a great water hole to visit especially with a few mates. Certainly looks and smell like an authentic old pub.

This was a great find just away from a couple of the major roads in Truro. It looks brilliant. The walls and ceilings are plastered with old beer mats, beer posters and beer lists from festivals that they have had in the past. By the bar there are some mugs hung up with peoples names on them. I hope that they really do belong to locals, rather than being part of the ‘look’.
There are generally 4 ales on pump. I came at a bad time however, as only one was on. Fortunately it was the one I had never had before, Kiddlywink, from the excellent Skinner’s brewery nearby
If I’d come when all the ales were on and I’d had more time to stay, I could imagine this place getting a perfect score. As it is, I will heartily recommend it and hope to be back.

If you like your real ales then you’ll love the Old Ale house, they have guest ales on tap every week and have them all written up on a blackboard behind the bar, they are also really well priced.
It’s a great place to grab a drink sit on a stool in the window and people watch in between shopping.
When you walk in it has one of those old world pub smells that make you feel welcome, the staff are friendly and have been there for years.
Also worth going for the sunday lunches.
