Hawkin’s Arms, Probus

Visited: 29/05/2026

Accessibility: Car park at the back with a gentle slope leading to a well‑laid‑out beer garden. Front has a handy ramp close to the door. Toilets easier from the rear, though steps are required to reach the main bar.

We parked at the back, where the ground is mostly flat and leads straight into a really well‑apportioned beer garden at the end of the car park. The front of the pub is quiet enough to stop briefly and drop off, and there’s a useful ramp just metres from the front door. Inside, access to the toilets is easier from the rear, but there are a few steps to get into the main bar. Handrails help, but it’s not wheelchair‑friendly. We didn’t see a dedicated disabled toilet, though the men’s was apparently easy to use.

Walking in through the back door, we knew immediately we were going to like this St Austell Brewery tenanted pub. We didn’t eat on this visit, but the burgers and pizzas listed on the wall looked tempting, and there’s also a simple menu of standard pub fare. The pub sits in a small village just off the main road to Truro, and it feels very much like a locals’ pub — steady footfall, familiar faces, and a relaxed rhythm.

The landlady was welcoming and extremely pleasant. Despite never having been in before, we felt at ease straight away, and there’s no doubt we’ll pop in again.

Overall: A friendly, welcoming village pub with a good beer garden and helpful access from both front and rear. Steps limit full accessibility, but the atmosphere and warm reception make it a place we’ll happily return to.
