The Cornish Arms

In between Carbis Bay and St Ives, The Cornish Arms serves Sunday lunch all year round. You could walk to this pub from the heart of St Ives as the walk back is all downhill. Perhaps the walk is welcome after a large Sunday Roast and a bottle of wine!

If (for some reason which we can’t get our heads around) you don’t fancy a roast, then the rest of the menu is standard, traditional pub grub.

Your dog is welcome to go with you for your weekly tradition of Sunday lunch, they will love the roaring fire while you tuck in to great, wholesome food!
