The Three Pilchards

Set in the heart of the charming fishing village of Polperro, The Three Pilchards is not only the village’s oldest pub but also a top spot for hearty, flavoursome food with a strong nod to Cornwall’s coastal heritage. With a menu that champions locally sourced produce, this family-friendly eatery is especially known for its superb seafood offerings—think catch-of-the-day specials, rich fish pies, and pan-seared scallops that melt in your mouth.

Whether you choose to dine inside the characterful inn with its beamed ceilings and log fire or head upstairs to the elevated beer garden overlooking the harbour, you’re in for a truly memorable meal. The kitchen team takes pride in serving dishes that celebrate Cornish flavours while catering to all tastes, with plenty of options for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and little ones alike. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, tuck into a plate of something delicious, and soak up the coastal charm that makes Polperro so special.
