A friendly, lively pub which is dog friendly and with a beer garden. They host a "Thank Gin It Is Friday" event each week with a new gin paired with Fever Tree tonic and recommended garnish for £5, as well as live music throughout the month. Classic pub fare, not anything fancy.

A quieter, but charming pub which is dog friendly with a small beer garden. A real fire in the winter with a couple of leather arm chairs makes it a good place for a catch up over a pint. Classic pub fare, nothing fancy.

Another Ship Inn - Noss Mayo is a small, charming village. The Ship has high quality food with a good atmosphere. Parking becomes limited at high tide, but at low tide cars park down the beach - just be sure not to lose track of time!

Check the tide times – at low tide a pathway opens up between the coastline and Burgh Island where you will find a charming pub. Lovely walk up to the top of the hill with fantastic views. If the tide is high, you may get the rather unique “sea tractor” over to the island.
