On Wednesday night (17 April) the Inn again came to the rescue, this time with countless mugs of tea and the use of its car-park!  Many fire engines of various sizes descended on the Inn to use it as a Command Centre in fighting several different nearby moorland fires. Police were investigating the probability that the fires were started deliberately. Cornwall Fire Service...

Jamaica Inn has a new pool table and one of the best available – a Supreme Winner made by Heywoods with the highly respected Hainsworth Match cloth. The Super Aramith Pro Cup balls for matches completes this top specification pool table that remains free to play on. 

As the Grand Bard of Cornwall invites us all to celebrate St Piran and the Cornish language, we too say, "Gool Peran Lowen!"

What a night!  Now we have a second to breathe, here's a debrief of what happened at Jamaica Inn on the 31st January 2019.  Early evening with the snow falling thick and fast we saw the few rooms we had available quickly booked up.  Hearing news of the roads shutting down we set up 15 spare mattresses in our Pedlars restaurant and posted across our social media that anyone stranded ...

A complete refurbishment of the bars and restaurant was finished just in time for Christmas. In lower Pedlars Restaurant we replaced the modern windows with period ones to match those at the front of the Inn, and created a massive old-looking fireplace built in traditional Cornish style – the granite slab mantlepiece alone weighs 1.1 tons and has come from Bradstone Mill near Launceston. The fireback...

Best wishes for 2019 from us all at Jamaica Inn!

This autumn the lower part of Pedlars restaurant is having its 30 year old modern glass wall overlooking the garden replaced with a wall similar to the 1750’s front wall of the bar – very thick, rough plaster finish and with recessed windows for the great views. Also this large area is to have a focal point that it currently lacks – a massive log burning traditional Cornish fireplace similar...

In December new ‘period’ furniture will replace most of the existing furniture in the bars and restaurant except for the old settle seating in the bars which is full of character and to be kept and refurbished. Everything is aimed at retaining the character and 1750s appearance of this lovely old Inn.

The wildflower seeds we included in recent landscaping work have grown to produce a stunning display!  See the beautiful photos on our Facebook page from artist/illustrator Nicola Plummer.  Thank you Nicola!

A big Thank You to Mark's Ark, Magic Martin, all the suppliers who supported our Meet the Maker Day and the Trewithen Dairy for making the Bank Holiday weekend such a success!

A celebration of Cornish food and drink with many of our local suppliers and some free samples on offer. From 12.30 - 3pm Magic Martin will be here to entertain the children too!

Mark's Ark is visiting the Inn from noon to 3pm with an exciting collection of birds and mini beasts for close encounters of the wildlife kind!  Which animals are you brave enough to hold?  Last time we found the skunk surprisingly cute!!

Another great evening!  This not-for-profit group raises funds for good causes including the RNLI, Children's Hospice Southwest, Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust and other smaller local charities.  

The K6 GPO telephone box stood on the corner across the road from Jamaica Inn from the 1930's until 1990 when it was removed by BT and bought by the Inn.  For the past few months we've been sourcing all original parts to fully restore the interior and now we're delighted to say you can see it in all its glory as you enter the restaurant from the main car park!
