Review The Russell Inn - Polruan

A very good pub. A great atmosphere inside, with delicious food. I would recommend fish dishes. A pool table aswell. Would definitely recommend!

Traditional basic and very friendly pub. Limited range of beers, but well kept. Food is basic pub grub but really quite good. It’s the sort of place that once you’re sat down with a pint, you just feel at home. Very warm and friendly mix of locals and visitors. Ideal rest at the end of a long, tough, coast path walk.

Good atmosphere very friendly barman choice of rugby or football to watch

Robin and co run a lovely local pub, great beers on tap and friendly service.

Tucked away in Polruan village. Well worth a visit. Excellent St Austell Ales. Friendly service. A proper local pub

We go every year as our surname is rusling n the kids think it's funny... the food is great..

Nice pub one Street back from the water. We were hoping for lunch, but food wasn't being served until 6pm midweek (not sure if that's normal or due to covid / staff shortages). However the landlord was helpful and suggested the cafe next door, who deliver to your table in the pub! Good drink choice, and dog friendly.

Hearty food, decent prices and friendly service 👍🏻

Good food and beer. Very friendly.

A small harbour side pub, slightly behind the front, nice beer and was showing the six nations. Not busy

Unfortunately due to covid we were unable to spend time in this establishment yet their take out food was good and a decent sized menu. If you have the fish & chips the larger portion is huge! So make sure you're hungry. Team seemed friendly & attentive enough when I popped in to order & collect and appeared a popular choice as always busy.

We stayed in a holiday cottage in Polruan for a week from 14th August so visited the pub on 3 occasions for food and drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious whilst being reasonably priced. We also used their takeaway service and can recommend the pizza.

One of only two drinking establishments in Polruan, friendly, pool table(50p) food available, we had 12"meat feast pizza takeaway £12 enjoyable.

The Russell has long been the locals' pub in Polruan but now seems to be catering for a wider clientele as the Lugger is so often full due to Covid restrictions. And good luck to them! The food is I guess pretty basic - pizzas, burgers etc, but it's really tasty and carefully prepared, and very well priced. The staff are all lovely and nothing is too much trouble. They don't do bookings and will always try to fit you in. They really deserve to thrive and continue to offer an excellent alternative to their more famous neighbour, especially as they do community events as well, such as folk singing, quiz nights etc. Only complaint is that their lights are a bit bright!

Nice traditional pub with friendly and accomadating bar staff. We enjoyed our drinks and food. Lovely location in Polruan.

Excellent, simple food and fab beer in a real proper pub by the harbour. Lovely friendly crowd too!

Good old fashioned pub, near harbour. food after 6pm, takeaways too. no problem getting a table.

Beer was well kept, and the food was both tasty and generous, service friendly. Went back a second time to try different items from the menu, which were equally excellent. Only a few outside seats unfortunately (due to lack of space in the narrow street.)
