This cute part of Cornwall has one of the best pubs in the UK, so of course the town is loved by the British after your stay. A new study by HolidayCottages.co.uk has discovered the best pubs in the country and is analysed by experts. The survey included TripAdvisor ratings and average sunlight hours, whether or not there is a beer garden in the pub and a beer garden rating that closes out the winners.
St. Austell, Cornwall, is home to Hicks Bar, which has earned the best pub top spot with enthusiastic reviews. Located in the Visitor Centre at St. Austell Brewery, the pub scored very well on the whole. You can see it is just 300 meters from the town's railway station. This is a simple place and a great place to enjoy a drink.
Research shows that “best pubs near me” are searched 33,100 times a month, and “beer gardens” are searched 60,500 times in the UK, making pub ratings important for visitors. A good pub with great grabs and perfect pints is typical of British holidays. The beer garden is cherry blossoms under the sun.
St. Austell offers a blend of natural beauty and rich history, making it an ideal holiday destination.
Visitors can explore the iconic Eden Project, stroll through Heligan's Lost Garden and enjoy the charm of Charlestown's Georgia Port.
The pub has earned five outstanding five out of five on TripAdvisor ratings, boasting an average of 4.2 hours of sunlight per year, making it the highest rated pub on the list.
The brewing experience tour it offers will delight even the most discerning beer lovers, apparently from its high beer rating of 3.55, but Friday night's brewery beat is back with live music fans.
With seasonal beers brewed with hops from all over the world, you can expect American and Australian style brewing along with Cornwall's finest.
At Hick's Bar, you can expect a selection of traditional English pub gloves and American favorites such as pancakes and stacked nachos, and of course, the finest Cornish paste tea.
A trip to St. Austell is not complete without a visit to the iconic Hicks Bar, which has become known to visitors for its outstanding reputation.
