When you visit the Pandora, it’s easy to forget you’re in the 21st century. Its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek is timeless. Parts of the Inn date back to the 13th Century and, with its flagstone floors, low-beamed ceilings and thatched roof it’s not difficult to believe that little has changed since that time.
Cosy & traditionalWhile the Pandora’s wonderful setting remains unchanged, everything else in this cosy traditional inn is 21st century comfort and quality.
The Pandora Inn is in such a lovely setting, it’s a shame to only visit by car. Our car park is quite small and in the summer does get very crowded. So why not make a trip to the Pandora a real day out and leave your car at home and visit us by boat, bicycle or on foot! There’s lots of information here on our website, including details of a series of circular walks.
Publicans John Milan and Steve Bellman have been at the helm of the Pandora since 1999. Their attention to detail in everything – from the food and service to the décor and furniture – has established the Pandora as an award-winning pub that aims to give you an enjoyable and memorable experience whenever you visit.
Chef John Poole uses the freshest, local, seasonal produce. There’s an extensive wine list and traditional real ales from St Austell Brewery.
Combine this with a spectacular setting, roaring log fires and a warm welcome from your managers Catherine and Lester Croft and a trip to the Pandora is a must.

Where to start?
We arrived on a cloudy day and the restaurant was fully booked although there were tables free outside and in the bar ‘first come first served’
The menu was great and the specials really were tempting! Tuna steak with new potatoes and green beans. (With lots of other trimmings, flavours and various ingredients) etc other out a shadow of a doubt, the best piece of tuna I have ever eaten and this was the same opinion from all of us. Outstanding!! The chef called Dean Richards was first class, nice person too.
Wonderful, cannot wait to go back!!
Like the title says , the pandora is probably the best pub on this planet. It’s location is just gorgeous , the staff are excellent , always pleased to help.

We have just come back from a lovely evening meal and drinks at The Pandora Inn on one of the hottest Saturdays in July. The staff were excellent, as was the food, with the minimal amount of waiting on a very busy night. Well done to all the team …… it was perfect.
