The Three Pilchards is the oldest pub in Polperro, nestled right in the heart of the famous fishing harbour. It has a warm, welcoming vibe that’s perfect for locals and visitors alike, including dog lovers. The interior blends a historical setting with a relaxed atmosphere, topped off by a rooftop beer garden offering stunning harbour views. Their team is known for being attentive and friendly, making it a spot where everyone feels at ease, whether you’re popping in for a drink or a full meal.

The food at The Three Pilchards is fresh, local, and always delicious, with a strong focus on seafood straight from the Cornish coast. Alongside their fantastic fish dishes, the menu is diverse: you’ll find hearty favourites like curry, burgers, and chilli, plus options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free diners. They also pride themselves on local ales, ciders, and an extensive wine list, making it ideal for a casual lunch, an evening dinner, or just a laid-back catch-up over drinks. With live music on most Saturdays (when not suspended), it’s a lively, inviting spot that captures the best of Polperro’s spirit.
