Truly Cornish Experience

The setting is spectacular in the small working fishing village of Cadgwith, with some wonderful views, sunrises, and moonlit nights. The meals and drinks are excellent — especially after taking a long walk on the beautiful nearby Sea Path. They offer large portions of tasty fare and a great selection of local brews. The staff are very helpful and the locals are friendly, talkative, and brimming with rich stories. Don’t miss the Tuesday night Cadgwith Folk Singers, who present a fun and varied program of traditional Sea Shanties, Folk Music and stories, and original material. Altogether an exceptional Inn in a wonderful location.

Lovely local pub

This local inn is in the very centre of Cadgwith Cove, right opposite the fishing boats - the produce could not be fresher! We had both lunch and supper here during our stay and both meals were delicious. The landlords and staff were very friendly and professional, even during busy periods they had smiles on their faces and welcome everyone in. On a Friday night you are treated to local sea shanty singing! The pub is very much a social hub for the area which is great to see, and there are also gin tasting events, pub quiz and folk music nights too. Highly recommend the food and local Cornish gins. A really great pub which seems to hold itself to very high standards. Will definitely return.

Lovely traditional pub.

Nice friendly pub, seafood chowder was lovely. Closed on Wednesday and Thursday but not sure if as a result of Covid 19. Need to book if you want to eat there.
Cadgwith Cove Singers couldn't sing in the pub itself but sang shanties on Friday from a shack on the beach and people stood outside to listen.

Lovely pub

Due to Covid restrictions had to ensure we booked in advance but so glad we did.
Delicious food and staff went out of their way to explain procedures but yet still ensure we could relax and enjoy our time at the pub.

Five star food and friendliness

We ate here three times during a week's holiday in Cadgwith and were impressed by the food and warm welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed folk night on Tuesday and can highly recommend the fresh fish dishes on the specials menu - and the sticky toffee pudding! Really added to our holiday.

Can Be Hit or Miss ! !

Fabulous location with roaring fires in the winter and sun terrace. However, the quality of food and the welcome can vary! Not the best value in the area, but Folk Night on Tuesdays and Cadgwith Singers on Fridays (10pm onwards ) always good fun.

Singing by the Sea

Both in and out of season an excellent local pub with good food and plenty of atmosphere and lots of colourful characters! Tuesday nights is folk night - so bring an instrument and join in. Fridays come and listen to the Cadgwith Singers sing the odd shanty or three.
Tables are bookable for food - definitely recommended in season.
