I have visited several breweries, so as we were in Cornwall it was natural to visit the St Austell brewery, as it is THE brewery in Cornwall. Booking the tour was very easy by telephone and the cost was very cheap for the tour and some free samples of their beer. We were pre-warned that the tour did take in... More

Last week two friends and I, after many visits to Cornwall, finally visited the St Austell Brewery. This was something that we had meant to do for years, but beaches, barbecues, wives and children had managed to thwart every attempt – until now.

With first drink in hand, guide David talked us through the brewery history before we embarked on the tour. Yes it does involve quite a lot of steps, but you need to... More

Where do I start, the staff were extra helpful and polite, I was booked on the tour but hadnt time for lunch so the kitchen sorted me out with a quick pasty, something to line the stomach. The tour was very informative and the tour guide Ann was very knowledgeable and kept the group entertained throughout. Then on to the... More
