Ancient and timeless granite village pub close to the cliffs, on the north coast of the Penwith peninsula. The Sharp's Doom Bar is rebadged as Tinners Ale, and the Sharp's Sea Fury appears as Zennor Mermaid in honour of a local legend. Phoning the pub first is recommended if planning to eat. The garden is a superb place to sup a beer on a sunny day as it faces south and is sheltered from the wind. Entertainment is confined to a folk group on Thursday evenings (when there is no food available); Sunday evening is quiz night. With the Cornish coastal path and the granite moorlands close at hand, this is a popular watering hole for walkers as well as trippers along the beautiful coast road.
Historic Interest
Grade II Listed. Historic England UID: 1137980. D H Lawrence and his wife Frieda stayed here in 1916 while looking for a cottage to rent.
Early 18th-century building. The main bar was once two rooms, the room amalgamation took place before the Second World War. The servery had already assumed its present position by 1952 although it had in all probability been moved there just after the War, 1949/50, from a former position across the left-hand end of the room. The counter might have been put in during the 1970s, with the shelving improvised from a former drawer-unit. There are two additional rooms on a lower-level rooms at the left-hand end. The first of these was a former sitting room and it is thought the hatch to it was created in the 1970s. D. H. Lawrence stayed at the Tinners Arms in 1916 while looking for a cottage to rent.
Panelled walls look old and the panelled ceiling is very old. 2 good stone fireplaces, screeded floor. But the counter looks no older than 1970s and the bar back shelving is all modern.
