The Ship in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. We had food there and I have to say best fish pie I have tasted. Hubby had scallops and said they were so tasty. Would recommend a visit.

Dark and unwelcoming feel, tables were very sticky with old drinks. No attempt was made to clean them and the manager (very small blonde lady) had a terrible attitude. She was very abrupt when taking the orders and when there was an issue with the food, she was very rude, unhelpful and very confrontational. She obviously doesn’t want or possibly expects customers to return. food was basic and will not be eating there again.

Great pub, with friendly staff and a nice ambiance (though a little warm. Menus make a good fan! ) Food was lovely too! Music not too loud. Prices not bad for a holiday town.

We`ve visited Mevagissey many on day trips over the years, but never stayed over. So this time we thought we`d incorporate an overnight stay into our holiday in Cornwall. The Ship is a lovely old pub, full of character and everything a pub should be, packed full of tourists and locals alike. It`s`s wonderful to see that it hasn`t been ripped out and " gentrified " like a lot of pubs in seaside areas in Cornwall. We stayed in one of the family rooms, right at the top of the pub, so there was zero noise from the pub downstairs ( even though it was heaving the night we stayed ) I`d describe the room as being " no frills", which was fine, as we were only there for the night. The beds were comfy and spotless, with good quality bedding and the bathroom looked pretty much brand new, as did the large shower. We didn`t eat in the Ship, but had a couple of drinks and like I`ve mentioned earlier, the place was bouncing, full of locals and tourists, which made for a really great atmosphere. The ladies behind the bar know their beer too, as there was a really big choice of local real ales and they guided me to a couple of crackers from the St Austell Brewery. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and plenty of it, all served by a truly lovely lady, who was so friendly and nice. You couldn`t really ask for a better location to stay in Mevagissey, as the ship is virtually on the harbour. Theres` no parking, but the lads in the big main car park on the edge of the village, kindly charged us £6 for an overnight stay - 5 mins easy walk to the pub. The rooms in the Ship are priced according to the area, so they may be a little bit on the high side for what you get, but Mevagissey isn`t a cheap place to stay in.

Visited The Ship Inn, many times over the years, they have a great menu, plenty of choice, and the food is always great. The pub has a very cosy, inviting feel, and the service was great I do recommend a visit to the Ship Inn

Struggling to find somewhere to seat the 6 of us we stumbled across the ship inn during our trip to mevagissey. Plenty of options for everyone in the group adults and kids I had the cold crab platter and it was delicious. Really decent food, friendly service and a warm cosy place to hide from the rain. Thank you

Just had a mouthwatering burger at the ship Inn mevagissey, had the piggy blinder burger with BBQ pulled pork, it was huge and cooked to perfection meal was fantastic as was partners lasagne, and the sticky toffee pudding to die for , great atmosphere fantastic and polite staff, will definitely return

we ate there and it was god food, good service and a great vibe the menu is varied and three is something for everyone, the food was piping hot and nice and tasty

Popped in twice during our stay in Cornwall,very impressed actually,welcoming staff,olde worlde,bright,low beams beware . Food was really nice,wait was average,prices reasonable. Would we go back again,definitely.

Lovely traditional pub. Friendly staff and excellent, delicious food with good choice of local seafood on the specials.

What a great little pub, would definitely recommend. We stopped for a drink and a sandwich which was very good. We found the staff to be welcoming and bubbly.

Had the best roast dinner outside home Nearly as good as we cook Have recommended to friends and will be back on next hols in September

We stayed 2nights over Easter 2024. Accommodation was warm and quirky as you’d expect from such an historic building. The pub is a traditional Cornish fishing village type , with an extensive varied menu and local ales available. There are a few other local pubs that help add to the overall ambiance of the village. Loads of local shops and a nice walk out on the harbour wall. Finally the staff and management are welcoming friendly and helpful. Great place to stay and very dog friendly, just try not to step on their tails 😂😂

Went early afternoon, not too busy, needed drink after a good walk around tapped the card and it was £8 for two pints of coke............

We were in Mevagissey yesterday and asked about a room at the Ship Inn which they had. Nice celan double room, nice bathroom en suite with shower. Had our evening meal in the pub downstairs in the evening which was lovely. Great selection available and very nice food. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and this morning we were greeted with a laid table, tea and coffee, fruit juice, choice of cereals and a choice of cooked breakfasts. Absolutely perfect. Staff very freidnly and attentive. I would highly recommend staying here and or eating here to anyone. Its a beautiful old character pub, with ships lanterns for lighting an open fire, with accommodation upstairs. Great pub, great stay, great people. thank you very much

A great pub, staff are great and very helpful, this pub has a great relaxed atmosphere. This pub has a very good menu, catering for all types, this pub is dog friendly. Totally recommend this pub.

Stayed one night in this lovely very dog friendly pub. The decor is superb, staff friendly and location perfect. Our room was small (as to be expected in a small old building) but perfectly formed. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfy and the bed linen smelt really lovely. Our three dogs were made very welcome! The breakfast was excellent!

We went for a beer and ended up staying for an evening meal, which was superb. The pub is very dog friendly, unlike “The Fountain” which only allows dogs in th dreary back room bar. The staff were excellent - very friendly and really attentive, but not in any way obsequious. We had a squid starter (excellent), burgers (superb) and fish and chips (wonderful) as main courses. I was really wanting a dessert (apple and blackberry crumble) but didn’t have room! The food was excellent and good value. We are going back again for sure.

Delicious food, excellent service, dog friendly, lots of Gluten Free Options. Situated in a beautiful harbor town. You won’t be disappointed.

The Ship Inn is always our usual go to. We love the atmosphere, owners are lovely and down to earth. All of the staff are friendly. It’s a real Gem and a proper traditional pub. Our 3 labradors and toddler are always welcomed with open arms. We love the food here, the Ploughman’s is delicious! (The beers not bad too!) We like to sit here and relax of an evening out of high season.

In the area for Christmas and popped in a couple of times onc being Christmas Eve. What a great local pub full of tradition and mix of locals and visitors. The bar staff and landlady are excellent and very welcoming. Full range of beers and wines at sensible money and the food is superb!

Visited the Ship several times, always very good, friendly staff, good service and food A good atmosphere and well worth a visit

The ship inn is one of the best pubs I have ever been in. The staff as very friendly and the food is amazing. The chef is first class Definitely worth a visit

Not sure we would go back, ok but not the atmosphere we were looking for. Nice people at the bar friendly enough.

A LOVELY VILLAGE PUB. Been here several times best to book busy times of year.Really nice decor inside and the meals will not disappoint they are great.Lovely friendly helpful staff.Be back again soon.Thankyou to all staff who work so hard.

Great cosy and friendly pub in the centre of Mevagissey near the harbour. We both had the scallops which were a good price and delicious. Will come back again !

Stayed here for one night in family room. Room was a bit small, bathroom was fine although shower wasn’t great. No hand soap for the sink. Room was clean and beds were comfortable enough. Good breakfast and the staff were all very friendly. Great location...

Excellent - the best pub In Meviguissey - brilliant service and amazing tasty food. The staff were fantastic and made it an amazing experience.

On a wet afternoon in Mevagissey with most of the cafes shut the Ship Inn was a port in a storm. Still traditionally furnished with “stuff” everywhere, it felt friendly from the moment we walked in and the log fire was on and the waitress...

Ate here while staying in Mevagissy. Traditional looking pub that is obviously popular with locals and tourists alike. The menu was a mixture of pub classics and local seafood dishes. The food was delicious with generous portions and service was friendly and efficient. A really...

What you would expect to find in a small fishing village in Cornwall. Warm friendly welcome, excellent food and wide range of beers etc available.

Very hard Working staff, Hardly stopped rushing around. Always quick to acknowledge us and serve as soon as they could ,food quite nice and reasonable value. The only thing we did not like was There was a very drunk couple at the bar with a...

Went for tea on a Saturday night and got the last available table. After a 6 hour drive a good pub meal was definitely needed. The food was filling and standard pub grub really, nothing too special. Quite expensive but usual Mevagissey prices. The interior...

Went in for a drink , as spending the day at Mevagissey whilst on holiday Recommended to us by a friend , great West Ham pub in a very unusual place .

always a great place in Mevagissey for drinks and food, and always a great welcome as well. Great selection for food and drinks as well.

Extremely busy traditional old pub friendly service, all the usual pub classics on the menu and a large daily specials board, average prices. Our food came quickly and was plentiful. The beer was good too.

Visited the Ship Inn on our first day and the food was superb! So good that we went back 3 days later! Again, could not fault the food. Atmosphere was lovely and very dog friendly! Would definitely recommend a visit here!

We visited here a few times over the weekend for drinks and ate here once. The staff are all really friendly and the service was great. Couldn’t fault the food, traditional pub grub that we all thoroughly enjoyed.

Visited twice during our holiday in August. Very welcoming. Staff very friendly and efficient. Service and food was spot on, great portion sizes. Well done to all the team.

Lovely pub with a fabulously quirky decor and a great menu. Large portions and excellent service. Good real ales and local ciders

Food was so greasy it had to be returned. When it reappeared it was just a greasy and inedible. Steaks were not cooked properly and had to returned. Bar staff non apologetic and frankly quite rude when asked for refund. Having been a customer of this pub for some years I am massively disappointed and will not be returning. The menu is hugely overpriced and the quality shocking.

Great value for money. Traditional pub grub. Definitely worth a visit. Had scampi and chips, other half had gammon, egg and chips. Friendly atmosphere, very welcoming.

We called in early Monday evening and loved the character of the place. Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I had the Fish Pie, which must have been a different fish pie to the one described by a previous reviewer because mine was delicious. My wife had the lamb shank and loved it.The ale was good and so was the service. Altogether, tnis was a locely experience and we're glad we visted.

Had a lunch time pint here. Proper old fashioned pub with good beers. Staff friendly. Would return. Just 1 word of warning the ceiling is rather low!

Great old proper English pub, dog friendly, good food and nice staff, well worth a visit. We do every time we in Cornwall

Lovely menu something for everyone,we liked it so much went twice. Party of 7 of us,fitted us in brilliantly.

Poor food. Disappointed. Wish I had got take away fish and chips on the harbour. I had fish pie which was a mush, with mash on top, looked like it had been blow torched on top to make it looked grilled.

Nice pub in a very nice town! We had the lamb shank and the peri-peri chicken which were both very nice! Only complaint would be that the chicken was a bit dry but otherwise would recommend this pub to anyone fancying some pub food.

Called in for refreshments in February. As it was early the pub was quiet and comfortable. The decor matches what you'd expect if an old pub in Mevagissey. Nice atmosphere and service good

Love this dog friendly, welcoming pub. Traditional in character with a fire at the front and squashy sofas which were always in demand. Helpful bar staff and good range of beers and wines. Had a lovely fish pie which was very tasty and didnt touch the side. The nachos also went down very well. We also had Sunday dinner here and again it was very good. roast beef with all the trimmings, very nice indeed. Would recommend

We had a nice lunch at The Ship Inn recently, we sat near a warm fire on comfortable sofas, There was a good selection of local ales. The pub seemed to have a good atmosphere and is well worth a visit.

A traditional, old fashioned village boozer. Good atmosphere and good service, good choice of drinks, food served and traditional pub style food, but recommend the crab sandwich. Will return

Fab little pub for a fire and a catch up over drinks. The log fire is gorgeous and the staff were really friendly and gave a great recommendation for the Fountain Inn for fish and chips... :-)

We stayed at the Ship on Sun 18 Nov. Love the pub, it is a truly unspoilt proper pub used by locals and visitors alike.We took advantage of the Sunday carvery which was very reasonably priced, well cooked and tasty. A large open fire provided a lovely ambiance for what was a cold day. Unfortunately, due to a relatively low footfall in the evening the kitchen was not open. The ensuite bedroom was nigh on faultless the only niggle being the tv is not watchable from the bed. The staff were all friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Walking around Mevagissey and found this proper old fashioned pub. A good selection of real ales and many gins and wines. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. Well recommended.

Une soirée et un repas traditionnel dans un pub des Cornouailles anglaises.

This is a super traditional pub, we only had a couple of drinks here, but good selection of beers. The food looked good too.

Called in a couple of times last week for a drink and was always very welcoming. Dog friendly and Fevertree served. We didn't eat but the menu board looked good.

Visited on a busy Sunday, I had the carvery which was delicious and good value. My partner ordered the fish and chips which didn't arrive, when we brought this to the staffs attention they apologized and sorted my meal as quick as possible, it was worth waiting for! It is very dog friendly, and we will definitely visit again.

A great pub with real character and lovely people. A cosy atmosphere and traditional look throughout and a good range of drinks on the bar, including local Cornish ales and ciders. I was made to feel very welcome when visiting alone, and would definitely come back again.

Called in complete with our three spaniels, for a pint and quick lunch. The pub is quaint and totally unique. The food was good and the staff even better. We met the famous pup dog, Snoopy, who even posed for a photo with the book he appears in. Definitely recommend a visit or two.

From the outside this is a lovely looking old pub. On going inside it was very busy but eventually found a table. It has some lovely features befitting with the age. Our food was nice but we suspect the chilli wasn't homemade. It was nice to try but wouldn't go again as some very loud locals at the bar which was off putting.

This is a gem of a pub, run be Lee & Diane along with staff such as george, cristen and mel and anyone else ive not mentioned but are equally important to this pub ☺ very people orientated and dog friendly. I have never received such a heartfelt welcome before this made the ship inn more special. Due to its location the nearest car park (willows) is about a 500yrd walk, rooms have a lovely comfy bed along with en suite, tv with tea/coffee making facilities and the food here is fantastic, great portionss well presented and served hot. Great selection of beers, ciders, wine and spirits idealky located for all parts of cornwall.

An old pub so dark and dingy inside, but sticky old brown tables don’t help. We both ordered sirloin steaks which were really tough and fatty. No-one asked how our food was until the waiter came to clear plates away. When we told him about the steak we got no apology, just a shrug of the shoulders. Almost more dogs than people inside, the dogs might have enjoyed the food more than us

Appears your average pub so expected average pub grub but was pleasantly surprised. Drinks are a tad overpriced tho

Called in..2 pints of Korev Cornish lager was £9.40! Never again. Menu showed 8 oz sirloin £20. Last night at Blue it was £12.

Fab food. Especially the scallops. Dog friendly with treats and water. Good beer selection. Had a lovely lunch

Would highly recommend this pub. Friendly staff, food is always on point and food is great value for money.

Great little pub , lovely and cosy , friendly staff, accommodates all, nice cider , foods lovely , dogs welcome

Was not looking for a big meal, so ordered a 'fish finger sandwich'. It was homemade haddock goujons on lovely soft fresh bread. Best sandwich I have ever had! Returned the following evening and had the homemade lasagnewhich was equally delicious. Pub was really busy and we were lucky to get a seat, but I can understand why. Would definitely recommend it.

This is a lovely old building in the very heart of Mevagissey, close to the shops, restaurants and the harbour. The rooms are full of character up a rambling old staircase above the traditional, cosy bar area.

We spent a couple of weeks just across the street from this nice pub. It was very welcoming and the staff (plus the owners) were extremely nice. I tried a few other pubs in Mevagissey but found myself coming back here again and again.

Arriving slightly early for our check-in, we decamped to this lovely inn for lunch. We were not disappointed! Beautiful fresh fish went down a storm.

We ate here twice with our 15 and 11 year old sons, during our week in Mevagissey really good quality pub food and friendly service. The waiting staff were really helpful, the scallops were divine and the boys ate all their food both nights. Good pub atmosphere.

The Ship never disappoints. Great atmosphere, lovely staff who go above and beyond. Food is really good. Mussels were superb. Good portion sizes and despite a slight wait for food, always shows it’s freshly cooked.

Couldn't recommend this place to anyone on holiday as the choice you have in the village of good pub fare is vast and yet I suspect a microwave was used for the half of chicken and oven chips I had, nothing wrong with the service and time it took but not home cooked by any stretch of the imagination.

We enjoyed several meal in this delightful pub. The service was good, and the meals tasty, all in a great environment. Their was plenty of choice to cater for all tastes.

The food was delicious and we loved all of the meals. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The only issue was at the time it was the height of summer and therefore very busy this meant that the food was a long wait. But we would go again just maybe when it isn’t so busy.

We love the feel of this pub - a low ceiling decorated with fairy lights. Wherever the children looked there was something nautical to capture their attention. The food was average pub food but the character of the pub made up for this.

Great landlords busy pub with good food and stayed in one of their comfy bedrooms. Nice linen fluffy towels water coffee in room.great nights sleep followed by best breakfast of my holiday.

Excellent crab sandwiches- the best I’ve had in the area. Have also had Sunday roasts there & they are excellent too.

Wanted something for everyone. The ladagne & the Angus burger were fantastic. The mussels & the bean burger were good. Excellent service. Sat towards the back which gave more ambience. Can definitely be recommended.

We visited the Ship Inn twice during our stay in Mevagissey. Festooned with lovely twinkly lights all over the entire ceiling it is a bright and welcoming place to visit. The food was quickly prepared and we loved the bean burgers especially. Friendly service and lovely to have a dog friendly pub to go to. Thanks we'd definitely recommend it!

Dropped in on the Ship on a Monday evening and as expected it was very busy but we were lucky to get a table for 4. The Ship is very popular with both locals and tourists so be patient for room to eat. Order quickly taken at the bar and the food soon arrives, about 15 to 20 minutes even when busy. Limited evening menu but enough diversity to choose from. Recommend the scallops and their burgers,reasonably priced as well,budget around £25 ahead for mains,desserts and drinks.

We have been here today for lunch. Wonderful sunday carvery for 10£ each. The meat was perfectly cooked and the choice of vegetables and souce very wide for the price. Perfect atmosphere too.

My daughter and I ate here on the first night of our holiday in St Austell.

Friendly staff and the food was decent pub food. They made a mistake with my food order and instead of veggie bean chilli they gave me meat chilli as soon as I identified the problem they brought me a replacement quickly and offered us a free round of drinks. Worth a visit!!

A blast from the past with fairy lights on the ceiling ideal for vertically challenged drinkers. Beer good quality but a little attention required in the ladies toilet as the door has swollen and as such cannot lock.

Beautiful old building with concrete slab floor on entry and lovely wooden furnishings, very authentic if you're looking for a good old fashioned pub. Lovely atmosphere, not being a dog lover - I wasn't too keen that dogs were allowed to walk through the pub, but this is perhaps all part of the local culture I expect. Plenty to choose from on the menu, including drinks, very efficient service, friendly staff, would definitely eat here again if we lived nearer !

Cosy atmosphere, good variety of food, great service, cooked to order, fantastic staff and delicious puds.

A good choice of drinks and foods. A typical local pub . Friendly locals to contribute to a good night.

Well, where to start. We ordered food one early evening, fish & chips and mussels. I was hoping to get fresh battered fish but instead, got what could only have been frozen battered fish. The type you get in any supermarkets frozen food section. The chips also looked as though they had come from the freezer. So not the fresh, home cooked food that was advertised. The mussels were ok but contained some unopened ones.

Terrible food and staff who don't care. Once a great pub but sadly not anymore. Could not believe the swearing from the staff and landlord. No wonder it was empty.

Went here for tea and to watch football. I’m not over mean on pubs in general but this place was great, felt really welcomed and relaxed. Good food well priced, dog friendly.

Leuke zaak, kaart met voldoende variatie, prettige bediening, ook goede plek om de avond met een drankje af te sluiten.

Steak was very good value and lovely , would recommend for door was such a busy weekend but food was quick and lovely

We were staying just opposite for a week so spent a few evenings in the Ship. Warm friendly -lots of dogs (they even have their own sofa). Food was good pub food.

We ate in here a couple of times as it was nice the first time and just as good the second time. Good home cooked pub grub with friendly staff and a nice feel to the place.

This pub is in a really interesting building oozing history. It is well used by locals and tourists. There is a good selection of ales, and the food is superb. Not the cheapest place around, but very nice.

Five stars for this little gem of a place! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
