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.
