This lovely riverside pub is a Cornish classic. Outside, there are wooden picnic tables with dreamy views over the Helford River; inside, it's all wood, slate and open plan. It's great for food – oysters, shellfish and the Sunday roast are strong points – and a big blackboard is full of fishy specials. Bus 35 passes hourly from Falmouth.
You'll need to arrive very early for an outside table, as it's a firm favourite for locals, second-homers and visiting yachties alike. Follow road directions to Trebah and Glendurgan and then look out for the signs. The pub was recently acquired by St Austell Brewery.
