The Ship, Porthleven, Cornwall
Having heard good reports of The Ship in Porthleven, we called in for a pint of local guest ale and found a pub steeped in history. Just about a mile from Helston, The Ship Inn is perched on the edge of the port, built into the cliff, and has been the favourite haunt of fisherman since it was built in the eighteenth century. In the summer there are a few tables outside on raised terraces where you can enjoy great views of Porthleven and the coast. Inside it feels snug and the walls are decorated with local pictures. Although we did not eat there, it has a good repuation for its home-cooked food and offers a promise of 'no chips' to continue its tradition of serving hearty food. Dogs are welcome in the bar and children in the family room. As The Ship is on the coastal path it would be a perfect stop-off for those walking the south-west coastal path.
