St Breward is a small rural village nestling on the Northern edge of Bodmin Moor. It was built around the china clay and granite quarries where hundred’s worked in the 1800’s. It made it a thriving village that boasted a milliner’s hat shop, boot makers, dressmakers, a petrol station, butcher, baker’s Now it is home to around 600 residents and has a busy shop and post office run by Christine and Denis Lusby. It is open all year apart from Christmas day, when they take a day of rest.
The village pub, the Old inn, is situated in Churchtown at the top of the village, next to the Parish Church. It is owned by Darren & he and Ben run it together. They offer a large, varied menu and serve delicious food and great beer all year round. The Sunday carvery is very popular with county wide visitors who
mingle with locals throughout the day. They also offer specials during the week including sizzler night, burger night and fish shop night. It has recently been updated giving it a fresh more modern feel without losing the old world charm. It ‘s a great place to enjoy a night out.
