A great place for a drink and a bite of lunch overlooking the river. Especially good on a sailing day when you can watch the Falmouth Classic boats rigging up and racing. (There’s a little paperback book in the house with some interesting information about the Falmouth classic boats, and pictures so you can identify them.).

A great pub for a drink or food. Lovely views. Good outside dinning area.
Perhaps arrive by boat - either higher a boat yourself or take the ferry which docks here when the tide is low.
Be sure to book if you want a table for food.
