Pubs in Fowey

Galleon Inn

12 Fore Street, Fowey PL23 1AQ

This fully-modernised riverside pub in the town centre dates back 400 years. The only untied pub in Fowey, it features Cornish ales from Sharps and Skinner's, and guest ales which change regularly from around the country but mainly focusing on Cornwall. Delightful river views from most of the wood-panelled main bar (where there is a pool table) and the separate conservatory room. Smoking is allowed at outside tables on the quay wall, which are popular year round and in a protected courtyard with gas heaters when needed. There is a wide range of meals offered daily. Seven rooms, all en-suite and most with river views, are also available. The pub has disabled access and there is a nappy-changing facility. Live bands featured on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. Website: www.galleon-inn.co.uk

King of Prussia

Town Quay, Fowey PL23 1AT

Originally a 15th century hotel rebuilt in 1856 on the site of an Elizabethan poor house, it is now a first floor pub, painted a tasteful pink and with lovely views across the harbour. The outside steps are off the town quay where there is pay parking in winter, a pedestrian zone with benches in summer. Drinks are allowed on the quay in plastic glasses during the summer. There is a small, cosy lounge area with overstuffed chairs near a gas fire at the end of the bar. The old original ground floor bar is now the Little Prussia restaurant open on weekends in winter and every night in summer. The six en-suite bedrooms have views over the estuary. Food is available 12:00-14:30 and 18:00-21:00 in winter, all day 12:00-21:30 in summer. Opening times may vary according to demand.

Lugger Inn

5 Fore Street, Fowey PL23 1AH

Small, friendly one-bar town-centre pub with slate floors, popular with both locals and visitors. The building has a date of 1633 but the front is more modern with some small leaded windows as trim. The interior was formerly two bar rooms but these have merged into a U-shaped room which displays ships' memorabilia, pictures recording local and historical events, and a large mural depicting Cornish luggers on the river. In the summer, the outdoor tables right on the main street are usually full. An extensive menu of excellent home-cooked foods, including local seafood, is available daily, all day in summer 12:00-21:00, but 12:00-15:00 and 18:00-21:00 in winter.

Safe Harbour

58 Lostwithiel Street, Fowey PL23 1BQ

Up a steep hill at the south end of the town centre, this 300-year-old split-level pub is the only one in Fowey which retains its separate lounge and public bars. Originally called the Commercial Hotel, the public bar once housed horse-drawn wagons. It now has a pool table and TV, and is a popular gathering place. The quiet upper Lounge bar, with its polished copper bar top, has been refurbished and brightened, with chairs and sofas. Dining tables fill the old so-called “virgin’s corner,” a little snug alcove, in the upper (rear) bar, where ladies used to meet regularly at lunchtimes. An excellent selection of meals is available daily, 12:00-14:00 and 18:00 to the 'end of demand'. There is also a separate dining room on the 1st floor. An outside patio with umbrella cover & heaters is available for smokers. In winter, there are darts, pool and euchre teams, and quiz nights on Tuesdays, and occasional live entertainment. There are five en-suite double bedrooms and two single rooms which share a bath, as well as a self-contained flat for up to 4 people. Uniquely in Fowey, it has its own small private car park.

Ship Inn

3 Trafalgar Square, Fowey PL23 1AZ

This historic pub in the town centre was once a squire’s townhouse, hosting many a famous name in British naval history. It is a comfortable one-bar pub retaining much of its ancient charm with wooden floors except near the bar, and a roaring wood fire when it’s cool outside. There is a cosy side room off the bar with booths and a large dining room upstairs. There is also a snug with sofas for more private gatherings. No live entertainment, although there is usually some background music playing. Meals are available 1200-1430 & 1800-2100 daily. There are 6 letting rooms, one of which is en suite.
