About this business

With low beams, quirky nautical-themed decor, and log fires to cosy up to in winter, it effortlessly blends old-world charm with a laid-back atmosphere. During the sunnier months, you can enjoy the suntrap terrace, perfect for watching the world go by. The pub prides itself on using fresh, locally sourced Cornish produce, serving up a menu that mixes classic pub favourites with an Italian twist, offering something to please every palate.

Run by a passionate team that respects its rich heritage, the Ship Inn is great for families, friends, and locals alike who appreciate a friendly, relaxed vibe. Whether you fancy a pint of changing real ales, a glass of wine, or a hearty dish like homemade pies, lasagne, or fish and chips, you’re in for a treat. The pub also has a loyalty programme which rewards regulars with exclusive offers and a convenient online ordering service for takeaway. It’s a brilliant all-rounder that feels like a genuine slice of Cornish hospitality just across the bridge from Wadebridge town centre.
