The Ship Inn Portloe
Our much loved 🥰 Community Pub
Welcome
TO THE SHIP INN PORTLOE
owned by our Community and at the heart of our village
In December 2025, The Ship Inn was reopened as a Community Pub / Free House owned by local members of the community. Our mission is to provide a warm welcome, good food and drink and overnight accommodation, for walkers and visitors by cliff, fields, road and sea. Originally known as “The Portloe Drinking Kitchen”.
The Ship now offers a range of Cornish beers including Sharp's Doom Bar and Atlantic with Guinness, Madri and Star all on draft and plenty of low alcohol beers and soft drinks. Our food offering is designed to be simple to begin with a limited menu that will develop over time and our aim is to feature pop ups and specials.
We have a beautiful beer garden and are a short walk uphill from the harbour which is home to a number of inshore fishing boats.
The village is also well known for regularly featuring in films, with appearances in Mary Wesley's The Camomile Lawn; The Wild West and the movie "About Time" which was filmed in the village and the church.
The Portloe Community Benefit Society has purchased The Ship Inn, to serve the community and visitors.
We invite you to visit us!
“Why not stay with us? We aim to provide a selection of rooms for a great night sleep.

Our Food & Drinks
OUR DRINKS
We stock Cornish, locally brewed real ales, both in cask and bottle, Guinness on draft and Guinness Zero both sell well and we keep Madri and Star on tap. We even stock Erdinger Alkohlfrei a popular wheat beer brewed to be alcohol free, isotonic and low in calories.
Why choose The Ship?
Good value - The Ship Inn is a Community pub and we are all feeling the cost of living pressures - but the great thing is The Ship is a Free House not tied to a Brewery, so we are committed to keep our prices as low as possible - whilst keeping our heads above water - but of course we need your support to do so.
Good fun - we are running regular Quiz Nights every Wednesday from 8pm. Introducing well known Board games to play anytime.
To date we have run three music evenings with Sid and Tim; Du Hag Owr and Ros Ker - both Cornish Sea Shanty groups. We will do more so please keep an eye on this site on local notice boards and and on our FB pages. We aspire to develop a regular schedule and newsletter.
Thanks to Charles Wharton our local sponsor and wine merchant, we offer a good selection of great value wines, spirits and some fine soft drinks.
OUR FOOD
Our current food offer consists of a very simple snack menu based around toasties, cold cuts and chips with an excellent range of crisps and nuts. Our goal as we become more established is to build on this simple menu but to remain delicious, affordable and fast. We hate saying no to anyone. We have an amazing opportunity as we are fortunate to have probably one of the best equipped pub kitchens for our size and great local produce. Bit by bit we will put it together to provide great plates of food.
