Property details
The Cornish Choughs is a charming Grade II listed public house, dating back to the late 18th century. Constructed from traditional granite rubble and featuring distinctive sash windows and twin chimneys, the building exudes historic character and local heritage. Conveniently located close to the A3047 and A30, and just a short distance from Camborne town centre, the pub is ideally positioned to attract a mix of custom. Regular daytime trade comes from nearby light industrial zones, the adjacent Premier Inn, passing motorists, and a loyal local following, including many retired residents. With its rich history, traditional appeal, and strong location, The Cornish Choughs presents a unique opportunity in a character-filled setting.
The pub features a single bar area, but it's subdivided into several distinct drinking and seating zones, totalling approx. 50 covers. One of these is a raised section, which doubles as a separate dining area. Often described as pleasant and cosy, the interior includes a stone fireplace, which is a popular spot during colder months. The ladies' and gents' toilets are well-positioned. The pub is well decorated traditionally and is all in very good order. The trade kitchen can be accessed from behind the bar, which is great for the service to the trade areas. The kitchen is fully equipped and compliant for a full traditional pub menu to be delivered.
A staircase from the bar takes you up to the three well-appointed en-suite letting bedrooms, which are fully equipped and are currently marketed through Booking.com.
Externally, there is a courtyard beer garden with several pub benches and brollies, and the property benefits from a small rear car park suitable for a handful of vehicles.
The private accommodation has two large bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Trading style
The premises currently operate a well-established and fully stocked bar, boasting a loyal and consistent local clientele. The venue benefits from strong midweek trade, supported in part by several successful pool teams that regularly draw in locals. While the bar side of the business is thriving, the food operation is currently limited to reduced trading hours. However, this presents a significant opportunity for growth. There is clear potential to expand the food offering, ideally with a traditional pub-style menu that includes popular staples such as Sunday roasts. The introduction of themed dining evenings and a clearly defined “rhythm of the week” could further enhance customer engagement and boost turnover.
With the right focus and investment in the kitchen operation, there is considerable scope to grow the business and maximise its appeal across both food and beverage segments.
The landlords are seeking an experienced and passionate licensee with a proven track record of successfully managing a business with multiple income streams. The ideal candidate will have the commercial acumen to fully exploit the pub’s diverse revenue opportunities—from bar and food to accommodation—while maintaining the charm and traditional values that define its character. The Cornish Choughs is a pub rich in heritage, appealing equally to loyal local customers alongside the influx of summer tourists. A skilled licensee will understand how to create a compelling offer for the community, market the letting rooms effectively, and deliver a well-executed, traditional menu that reflects the spirit of the venue. While experience is preferred, the landlords are also open to those newer to the trade who can demonstrate strong transferable skills, vision, and the drive to succeed. Above all, they are looking for someone with the ambition and capability to bring the full potential of the Cornish Choughs to life.
