Seven centuries of stories just waiting to be told
Over the golden sandy causeway to Burgh Island, you’ll discover an inn with seven hundred years of history.
There are few places better than The Pilchard Inn to sit and watch the tides ebb and flow while relaxing with a pint and savouring your favourite dish.
The cosy, wood-beamed interior oozes history and atmosphere at every stone-flagged turn – come and discover it for yourself.
Our traditional coastal inn is an old smuggler’s haunt with low ceilings, open fires and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore.
Find a cosy corner and sample a host of locally brewed craft beers, wines, local ciders and spirits to accompany a menu of simple, seasonal and scrumptious dishes.
There’s also plenty of outdoor seating for alfresco drinks and dining with a truly magnificent view.
The Pilchard is everything you want from a pub. The inn originally served the fishermen who lived on the island and nearby mainland; then the smugglers and wreckers who lured ships onto the rocks – and now you can venture over the causeway to enjoy its charms year-round … but remember to keep an eye on the tides!
And remember, we’re dog friendly.
What’s not to like. Fantastic food, we had steak. Lovely local cider from a few miles away. Excellent location. So quaint and old inside. But what made it was the staff, very efficient and great humour.
