The Hawkins Arms is an historic coaching inn and one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall
Situated on the old highway from London to Land’s End, the pub was originally called ‘The Half Moon’ but in the 19th century was renamed ‘Hawkins Arms’ to honour west country Elizabethan seafarer, Sir Richard Hawkins, nephew of Sir Francis Drake and a commander in Drake’s fleet fighting against the Spanish Armada.
Owners Adam and Alex are justifiably proud of their homely, family-friendly ‘Free House’ pub, restaurant and guest house. Where you can enjoy a pleasant drink with good food in a relaxed environment – which during the winter months has a log fire burning away.

We took our sister for her birthday Sunday meal. Lovley setting absolutely gorgeous food all in all fabulous great atmosphere too
Ate here twice during our holiday (one Sunday dinner). The staff were so welcoming and accommodating to our multi-generational party (with picky eaters). The food was really lovely. Just what we needed. Astonished it wasn’t packed. Check opening hours, but we’ll worth a visit for anyone visiting Cornwall, especially if you love good food away from the crush of tourist traps.
Amazing place, amazing food! Broke down on my way home on a Sunday and they went above and beyond to help me and my kids out! Even letting us sit in the warm when the pub was closed and gave the kids sandwiches! Food was amazing especially the BBQ pork ribs!
Holidaying from London and was recommended this place by a lovely gentleman whilst driving past the town of Rose. He described it as more restaurant than pub quality food. Me & my partner Helen both had lovely meals and she in particular was happy with the vegan choices available. We ate there a few days after August Bank Holiday Monday. This meant it was a little on the quieter side, but we found the staff were polite, interested and attentive all throughout the evening. Highlights were the triple cooked chips & salted caramel cheesecake 😋. Would visit again.
Great food and very accommodating. Due to a mix up we arrived shortly after the kitchen had closed, they made us welcome and let us order a meal if we skipped the starter. The food was fantastic especially the triple cooked chips. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend a visit.
