The Ship Inn

"What a brilliant find on a cold February lunchtime. We weren’t sure if we were even in time for lunch (1.55pm) but we were immediately made welcome, easily found a table for two and were given menus. Drinks were ordered and brought to our table quickly. Devon Mist and Thatchers Gold on tap. The menu gave ample choice, from baguettes to starters of soup, whitebait and much more. Ten our so main course choices - including a vegan lentil bake for those who would have that. We chose garlic mushrooms on toast (a half baguette type bread that worked really well), cheesy chips and - for hubby - pork belly on rosti with red cabbage. I definitely had food envy! He pronounced the pork “probably one of the best I’ve ever had”. My mushrooms were deliciously garlicky and creamy. The cheesy chips were wonderfully crunchy on the outside and lovely and soft on the inside. Portions were large. All of the service we received was friendly. The pub is in a nice situation on the estuary and we parked quite easily (out of season mind). I immediately spotted a good circular walk so I’m sure we will be back! Dog friendly too. I reckon half of the tables had a dog underneath! Highly recommended."

"Lovely setting, especially in good we rather. We only sat outside for an ice cream but did walk through the inside of the pub which was very attractive. In the hope weather and sunshine one could have been in the South of France!"

"The Ship Inn has lovely views, we had the haddock that was great and very filling the sitting area is spacious and dog friendly with bowls for water scattered about. Very relaxed and will definitely go there again before we go staff friendly and helpful."

"I have been going to The Ship Inn for many many years and despite its various evolutions it has been consistently excellent, Watch the tide as the car park is in the mouth of the Yealm, the pub gives tide times if you're unsure. The venue is immaculate, as are the facilities. The surrounding cliff top circular walks are stunning and a must."
