The Knowhere Guide

Eating and Drinking in Callington, Cornwall*

Callington, Cornwall Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• Out of the Blue is the new Fish and Chip shop on the scene. They have taken over from the Gimbletts. Extremely good food, worth checking out. The little indian next door to Kelly is very good too - pretty cheap and tasty.
• Kelly's 99p special is awesome value for money. Check it out. Two battered sauages and loads of chips.
• Spar has now been superseded by a Leos supermarket, based in part of what used to be the car park.

Pubs

• The Clink:Not rough and raucous as the previous person has put it, but always full of locals especially on a Thursday night when the pub quiz and steak night is on, I would say it is the most popular pub in Callington for the locals because all the other pubs are empty. Also serves the widest range on alcohol and does the best and biggest sunday roast!!
• The SwingleTree was always packed with young people a few years ago but it seems as they've got a bit older they've all gone back to The Bulls Head. The Cricket Club is also quite popular with a lot of the younger people.
• The Old Clink: Only ventured in to this one once! Rough and raucous.
• The Coachmakers Arms: where the teachers would drink at lunchtime! Foody pub.
• The Bulls Head: popular haunt for youthful drinking. Lunchtime drinking haunt for the sixth formers (at least it was in my day) and the Rotary club! Good place to meet up with old school friends, once a year at Christmas.

Cafes and Coffee Shops

• The Duchy cafe is where it's at. Sixth formers tend to go down for a bacon buttie and pot of tea during their free periods.
• The Duchy Cafe. I never see anyone ever in there.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
