Our story

Welcome to the Halsetown Inn

The Halsetown Inn is a Grade II listed granite pub in Halsetown, the village James Halse laid out for his tin miners in the 1830s, two miles up the hill from St Ives on the B3311.

The kitchen keeps to the Cornish larder — fish especially, this close to the water — with proper pub plates: beer-battered fish and chips, a steak and Stilton pie, and a roast every Sunday from noon. In the afternoon there are cream teas; at the bar, St Austell Tribute pours on cask alongside a changing Halsetown Ale, with guest beers appearing through the busier summer months.

Inside it is snug rather than grand: a small front bar with handpumps, dining rooms behind, and a courtyard at the back that catches the afternoon sun. Dogs and children are welcome — locals, walkers and holidaymakers from the campsites up the lane all end up at the same tables.

Sunday roast, from noon
№ 01

Sunday roast, from noon

Beef or turkey with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings — the two the kitchen is proudest of. Sunday service runs from noon until four.

Fish, this close to the sea

Fish, this close to the sea

The kitchen leans on the Cornish larder, and with the water two miles away, fish gets top billing — from the beer-battered chippy classic to what the day boats bring in.

The courtyard out back

A little haven behind the pub — a sheltered courtyard that turns into a sun trap through the afternoon and early evening. Dogs welcome, as everywhere in the house.
