As it was raining we ditched the idea of a walk and did a pub crawl. This is a fab, old worldly pub with good beer. and an open fire. However the best bit about this place was the young lady in charge who was awesome. She made our evening and she was the reason we went back on the 2nd night. While chatting she said how hospitality was a thankless job (it is in UK) so fellow TripAdvisor please be kind, courteous and tip well because hospitality is an amazing career ruined by far too many thoughtless punters.

Brilliant, young bar lady

Awesome, traditional old boozer, excellent choice of drinks and great food, beautiful open fire and the staff are so welcoming, great value room and fab breakfast, definitely a place to visit when in Fowey.
Great job team, see you soon 👏👌

A must visit fab boozer

When you open the door with your 2 whippets to be greeted with a big smile and “dogs are welcome everywhere!” we knew this was still our kind of pub. We have visited before with 1 whippet, 5-6 years ago and loved it then. Now under new ownership, it’s still a gem. We enjoyed a lunch of:

Fish pie for me- we were warned of a 20min wait as it is cooked to order-it was well worth waiting for. Simply outstanding. Not just some mashed potato with a smattering of fish. Loads of fish, huge prawns, no cheap fillers here! It was absolutely gorgeous. Served with green beans, mangetout and broccoli. 

Chicken and mushroom pie for her- 
Much the same as the above. Massive amounts of tasty filling rather than a half empty pie, delicious sauce, lovely puff pastry top. Served with mash and veg. 

Crab Arnchini which should have been a starter but we are greedy pigs and had it as a side. Would have it as a main and request 20 balls please! Absolutely gorgeous.

Phone rang many times with people booking or enquiring about rooms so it is clearly doing well-and deserves to be.

40th birthday lunch with the whippets

Great pub ,staff friendly and welcoming on arrival .  Bedroom clean and comfortable . Breakfast and evening meals were faultless, enjoyable entertainment on Saturday night.  Would definitely recommend and return.  

Great stay

only one of the few places open on a monday but looked OK so decided to try it , WOW don't expect and smiley faces or friendly service , but clearly stems from the owner who was exceptionally rude and I guess the staff learn from the head fish ... food we had was OK nothing to rave about  .... would I spend my money here again NEVER .... 

DON'T BOTHER unless you like RUDE UNWELCOMING STAFF

We had a great two night stay at the historic Ship Inn, the oldest pub in Fowey. The location was right near the harbour, perfect for exploring this beautiful Cornish port and the surrounding countryside. The staff were fantastic - very helpful and friendly. 

A warm welcome at this historic pub

Nice spot for a few beers good atmosphere inside. Very small bar and seats do fill up quick but had a nice few pints and very friendly staff. 
If there is any complaints the bathrooms could do with modernisation but it is a pub and they were at least clean.

Good spot for a few drinks

Avoid 

I’ve been eating here on and off for the last twenty years. It used to be great, lovely food, good ambience and helpful people working there. 

Not anymore, I know we haven’t been in since before lockdown, so it’s probably changed hands. 

First red flag, the menu had the name of another pub on it, not the Ship.  (For info this menu was from the King of Prussia, Fowey). 

The kids meal pretended the sausage was from the next door butcher shop. It wasn’t I’ve been eating their sausages for years and they’re really tasty. The kids meal sausage we were served looked and tasted like some cheap mass produced rubbish. 

The white bate was covered in bright yellow breadcrumbs and tasted like it had been shoved in the back of a freezer for years. The salad was well past it’s best before date. 

Then to add insult to injury the bill was only what can be described as a complete rip off. I guess they’re not interested in reap customers, they just want to rip off tourists.

Ship Inn Fowey, what a disappointment. This used to be a great pub, with great food. Not any more - AVOID

We had a really great three night stay in this dog friendly pub. The food including the breakfasts were really tasty, the location is excellent just off the quay where you can get the water taxi over to Polruan and local boat trips, there is also the car ferry to Polruan about 5 minutes walk away. Fowey is not ‘blessed’ with parking but does have a well organised cheap minibus service to the three car parks up the hill. As would be expected of a 400 year old inn it is quaint rather than being soulless as a Travel Lodge which we think is far better. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Great Place

Lovely old inn full of history, complete with creaky floorboards, situated near Town Quay. Comfortable accommodation and handy for the local restaurants - try Sam’s for great fish. For breakfast try the Full Cornish or Eggs Benedict. A steep hike (uphill when you leave) from the long stay car park, but well worth it.
