About Us

Although built in the 1850’s, to service the trains that took china clay from the moor down to the port at Padstow, The Borough Arms gives the impression of being much older. The railway was closed by Dr. Beeching and in the 1970’s it was converted into The Camel Trail, a 17 mile leisure route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The Trail is accessed from the large car park at the end of the pub and is free to use and open all year round. Picturesque and interesting, The Camel Trail has some of the most beautiful scenery in the North of Cornwall. Sited perpendicularly to the main Bodmin to Wadebridge Road, we are approximately 2 miles from Bodmin and 5 miles from Wadebridge. Very much the traditional country pub, no loud music, pool or darts we encourage conversation and interaction between customers. In March 2005 we had a “sparkle” done to the pub and newcomers and past visitors alike will appreciate the efforts that have made the pub even more welcoming. Gone are the old pieces of bric-a-brac to be replaced with some even older pieces, along with some modern touches for your comfort and convenience. The Borough Arms continues to attract people from all walks of life who appreciate the ambience and quality that we offer all year round. We have introduced a totally new and exciting menu and are now able to serve food all day every day. Emphasis is on the Carvery which is now served every lunchtime and evening and also all day on a Sunday. Specials, usually home made and the choice of either full menu, snack menu or Carvery will almost certainly offer something for every taste.
