Upon your arrival at The Blue Anchor Inn, you're greeted by a thatched roof, hanging pub sign, and iconic blue windows. Once inside, a series of small side rooms served by a central corridor can be explored; tables have been fashioned from old beer casks, one room even has a cosy inglenook fireplace - perfect for late night chats over an award-winning Spingo Ale (or two)!

​

In the 1400s, when the pub first began, it was a monk's resting place. The inn naturally made ale for the monks and has continued to brew ever since, using water from our own well, and the best quality British ingredients. Traditional brewing methods are still embraced at the inn today, and smoke can often be seen from the chimney of the brewery at the rear of the pub.​ The Blue Anchor Inn also boasts a skittle alley at the rear of the property, and an outdoor sheltered seating area. The Spingo name derives from the word 'Stingo', a word used in the old English dictionary, to describe British strong beer. You can shop all Spingo & Blue Anchor merch via our online shop.

​

Nowadays the pub is run by Ben and Jenine on behalf of Ben's parents, Kim and Simon Stone. Ben can often be found in the brewery making the latest batch of Spingo, and partner Jenine can be found either behind the bar or working away behind the scenes upstairs, accompanied by dog Bernie!

​​

Over the years, we have built up a great reputation as local fundraisers, raising money for the young & homeless of Helston and surrounding areas, local animal charities, and sports teams. This fundraising is only possible through our events we host in pub, such as Helstonbury, and you can view all of these here.

The team at the Blue Anchor are passionate about their craft, and their dedication and skill have earned the company many regional & national awards.​​
