About

The Bolingey Inn is a quaint Cornish pub nestled in the heart of Perranporth, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can enjoy great ales, a hearty menu of Cornish classics, and a relaxed, dog‑friendly beer garden. From its storied history dating back to 1783, the inn preserves a sense of traditional Cornish hospitality, complete with carefully curated drinks and a menu featuring Sunday roasts, inventive starters, and diverse main‑course options sourced daily from the surrounding area. Guests have the option to dine by the seaside with sweeping views of Perranporth Beach or to unwind indoors in the cozy pub setting. The pub serves lunch in two windows – 12:00‑14:00 and 18:00‑20:30 – and offers a lively weekend menu with roast specials and a selection of vegetarian options. The beer garden and indoor bar provide a relaxed setting for a post‑beach pint, while dogs are welcomed as part of the friendly community. With a heritage that blends mine‑house charm and contemporary comfort, The Bolingey Inn has become a favourite destination for beachgoers, families, and solo travelers seeking authentic local culture, good food, and a relaxed vibe. The inn’s welcoming staff, historic character, and the unique combination of dining, drinking, and dog‑friendly facilities make it a standout spot in Cornwall. Visitors are encouraged to book their table in advance, especially during peak times such as Sunday roasts and the Christmas season, to secure their spot in this popular local establishment.
