Built by adventurer John Rashleigh, Queen Elizabeth I privateer, in 1570, The Ship Inn is Fowey’s oldest pub. For more than four centuries the inn has been the focal point of our beautiful Cornish port – a haven for travellers, merchants, fishermen between hauls, and locals looking for a chat around the huge open fire. It’s a tradition that has been embraced under our new management - still the sa

me friendly pub reviving customers from all walks of life, but now feeding and keeping you even better. The menu makes full use of the fish and seafood coming in to port every morning and the superb produce from nearby farms. The drinks include a healthy dose of Cornish ales, a proper wine list and real coffee for the morning after. According to English Heritage, it was probably a merchant’s house before this, dating back to the 1400s. There are very few pubs around with so many of the original features intact. For the old buildings enthusiast look out for Killas rubble on the ground floor, Pentewan stone and freestone to original dressings and chunky Delabole slate. Because it’s been added to and rebuilt over its long history, it has evolved into a beautiful, higgledy-piggeldy old building with nooks and crannies and old panelled rooms at every turn where you can hide out or snuggle in for the duration. The large open fire at The Ship Inn with the bust of original owner John Rashleigh watching over us all, is the focal point of the pub. If it gets too hot, relax in an alcove round the corner, sup your beer, browse the fantastic menu, have a read through today’s papers. So if you think you might not make it back home, or you’re planning a proper stay, just ask. Breakfast with produce from farms just down the road, all inclusive.

It’s Tuesday and Regatta Week is well underway! 🎉

Just a little reminder to everyone enjoying our wonderful town this week…

Fowey Regatta has operated with plastic glasses since the 1980s. During Regatta Week, establishments across the town are required to serve drinks in plastic.

So please don’t be put off by a plastic glass — buy your drink, enjoy it and enjoy Regatta! 🍻
Some establishments may charge for reusable plastic glasses, or you’re welcome to bring your own suitable plastic glass.

🍴 FOOD & WAITING TIMES
Fowey is incredibly busy during Regatta Week, with a huge number of people all wanting to eat and drink at similar times.

Our staff are working extremely hard, but food and drink may take a little longer than usual. Please be patient and respectful.

⚓ FOWEY REGATTA WEEK – A QUICK NOTICE FROM THE SHIP INN ⚓

Sunday marks the start of Regatta Week 🎉 and we’re looking forward to a fantastic week in Fowey!

🥤 PLASTIC GLASSES FROM MONDAY
From Monday, we will be serving all drinks in plastic glasses. This is due to licensing requirements across the town, and all licensed premises should be doing the same.

We completely understand that some people prefer drinking from a glass, but please be respectful to our staff. This isn’t their decision, and they are simply following the requirements in place for Regatta Week.

🍴 WEDNESDAY FOOD SERVICE
We will be serving food as normal from 12pm–3pm on Wednesday, but there will be no food service on Wednesday evening.

Most importantly, have a brilliant Regatta Week, enjoy everything Fowey has to offer and please be kind to all the hardworking staff around town who will be doing their best during an incredibly busy week.

Have fun, stay safe and enjoy Regatta! 🍻⛵🎶
