This pleasant, convivial and family-friendly free house is well worth seeking out among the sand dunes of Hayle Towans; the pub is now in effect a gastropub, linked to the adjacent Asian kitchen, but with a selection of pub classics also available, together with a popular Sunday lunch. The beer range is predominantly Cornish and there is often a keg beer available from the landlord's onsite, pico-brewery. The long bar room has a wood floor and panels, some chapel seating, and a wood-burning stove. There are no noisy machines or TV in the bar. If drinking in the garden on the opposite side of the road, your beer will be served in a plastic glass. The pub name refers to the nearby river, which once ran red with tin ore processing waste from the district's mine workings. Bus services to the village now run hourly all year.
