We only went for drinks but enjoyed the authentic atmosphere, friendly welcome and roaring log fire.

Popped in to the Russel Inn one evening for a drink whilst on holiday in Polruan. Nice and cosy pub, good selection of beers and very friendly welcome . Would definitely go back.

Went in for a drink with my elderly mother and other family members to support the village pub whilst on holiday... only to turntail straight out the door! Was met with the most rude local man who made a very unkind comment about my mother when I asked him, very politely, if he would just move his dog a little. And not one other man, there were about 10 of them, said a word to defend us 4 women... very intimidating! Not very welcoming of tourists I feel! The Lugger on the hand was very welcoming, extremely accomodating and great fun.

Locals trying this for the first time. Website looked good, decided to give it a go. Went inside. Waited patiently to see if they had a table. Bar staff saw we entered, only to be pushed in by another to the bar. They were served first, clearly a regular which I get. However not going to stand and wait after clearly being ignored by bar staff. Won’t be returning. Went down to the Lugger, they made all the effort to find us a spot, we’re attentive and didn’t regret this decision at all. Sorry I wish this could have been positive experience

A very good pub. A great atmosphere inside, with delicious food. I would recommend fish dishes. A pool table aswell. Would definitely recommend!

Tucked away in Polruan village. Well worth a visit. Excellent St Austell Ales. Friendly service. A proper local pub

From the start I watched the barman frequently rub his nose and then both handle glasses. When my food arrived, the condiment container was on my plate. I imagine this had been on several other surfaces throughout the day and doubt very much that it had been sanitised before touching my food.

Good company, lovely food shame about the staff! Been coming to the Russell for years, time to give it a rest, until staffing improves, such a shame, I always used to recommend if asked, but sorry I won’t be doing that now.
