The history-rich village of Chacewater lies on the Truro to Redruth road
approximately 5 miles from Truro and is stooped in history. Located within the
centre of a great mining district, the landscape contains many reminders of this
former history and is well worth a visit. It is here, in this picturesque
village, that the Britannia Inn makes its mark. The whitewashed frontage,
and the blue doors and window surrounds, beckon visitors inside for an
experience that will want to be repeated.
After a long career in the Royal Navy, Jim Hill, along with his wife Tina
and sons Jamie, Cameron and Fraser arrived here in the summer of 2006, their
first venture into the hospitality business. Built in 1845 and with the same
name ever since, it has long been renowned for hospitality, well-kept ales and
good food, and the Hill family have lost no time in adding to that reputation.
Using their culinary expertise, Jamie and Jim have proved a real hit in the
kitchen producing mouth-watering food which is second to none. With main dishes
such as continental chicken, Thai meatballs, Somerset pork and beef lasagne
visitors are spoilt for choice. A daily specials board presents tempting,
homemade treats making a selection even more difficult. There is also a range of
salads, baguettes, jacket potatoes and side orders for those looking to satisfy
a smaller appetite. The Sunday carvery is very popular, and it is advisable to
book to avoid disappointment. Food is served from 12 to 2.30 and from 6 to 9.
The inn is open all day Wednesday to Monday and from 4 o'clock on Tuesday
for drinks, which include at least two real ales from local breweries. The inn
offers plenty to keep the locals entertained, Thursday is steak night, Tuesday
offers £2 a pint between 5 _ 9 and Wednesday provides OAP lunches from £3.50.
Please call for information if you wish to host a party at the inn or for
up-coming events.
The Hills and their staff have a warm and genuine welcome for the whole
family, which, along with all its other assets, makes this a place to return to
again and again. The beer garden at the back is in demand when the sun shines,
and there's plenty of off-road parking.
