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.

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.
