Originally a lively old smugglers' and fishermen's pub, it is now a popular watering hole and dining venue with village residents and summer tourists. The Plume has two beamed bars and a snug with a part-circle bar, and a dining room upstairs. The main bar is L-shaped in a room with ample seating. It is a sociable centre of village life, having a quiz team and even an investment club, and participates in the annual August Regatta and New Year's Day fireworks. The food is varied, locally sourced and home cooked with occasional themed events. Breakfast is served from 09.00 to 11.30. A fourth beer appears from time to time, usually a seasonal brew from St Austell Brewery. Five ciders are served from bag-in-box by gravity. Car parking is in the public facility nearby. Accommodation is in 5 ensuite rooms.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Included here for the Old Bar at the rear, from where you can view both the old servery and the split door of the Cellar Bar with its painted glass windows above and naive painting below. The servery itself has a flagstone floor; in the right corner is an old bar-back with a pewter top to the middle part, old mirrors and brass-edged shelves held up by plain columns. Also in this area are a beam and plank ceiling, three small cupboards and a window seat – note the old Worthington illuminated sign on the bar-back. The Cellar Bar is to the left of the main room (which has modern fittings).
