The Balnoon Inn

Head out towards Lelant and you'll find yourself at an old coaching lodge that's been given new life as somewhere you actually want to spend an evening. The Balnoon has that comfortable, unhurried quality that comes from being run by people who care—exposed beams, real fires, the kind of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers don't feel like outsiders. The food does what it should: satisfying, seasonal, built around decent ingredients rather than faffing about. It's the sort of venue where a pint tastes better because you've made the small effort to get there.
