A warm-cockle Christmas

Take a seat and warm yourself by the fire with a trip to The Red Lion in Blackwater.

Combining country pub tradition with a welcoming Cornish atmosphere, you’ll find The Red Lion in the hamlet of Blackwater, between Truro and the St Agnes Heritage Coast. This puts it in prime position for explorers to warm their cockles by the fire after a brisk, weather-beaten walk this autumn.

Open all day, every day throughout the cooler months, for those who’ve worked up a thirst, drinks here come in all varieties, from a selection of draught ales and ciders, to local gins and rums. The wine list has also been carefully curated and is very reasonably priced, too! Foodies will find a menu of delicious, home-cooked food, served from noon to 9pm daily, with everything from lovely lunches to hearty evening meals. Before these hours, a tempting breakfast menu is served from 10am until midday, with each dish a champion of local produce, and if you’re simply after a snack – perhaps a coffee and cake by the fire – then fear not; The Red Lion team understand the importance of a decent light bite. Add to all of this themed evenings covering pies, pizzas, curries and steaks, and those seeking to enjoy the best of foodie Cornwall will not go far wrong here! 

But it’s not all about food and drink at The Red Lion, particularly as we approach the festive period. In fact, as well as taking bookings already for their Cosy Festive Christmas Parties, for groups of all sizes, the team are also running a series of wreath-making evenings, meaning you can indulge in The Red Lion menus whilst creating your own festive keepsake, taking it home to hang on your door for many Christmases to come. 

Welcoming absolutely everybody with open arms, from couples after a quiet drink to full families including the dog, The Red Lion in Blackwater is a must-visit this winter, and with Christmas not far away, the team simply cannot wait to get you into the festive spirit.
