Blue Peter Inn, Polperro

Situated adjacent to the ancient small fishing port harbour and on the Coastal Path, this welcoming pub flies a naval flag with complementary signs ‘Blue Peter’ (‘Crew on Board’) to greet you. Entrance to this enjoyable family run inn is up a small flight of steps alongside the pub and passing a very small outside patio-seating area. Many local breweries in Cornwall are supported by the pub, which usually offers guest beers from Devon. Tasting paddles - 4 quarter pints of each beer for tasting - are available as against buying a pint or half. The pub is on two levels, with wooden floors, low beams (with whimsical sayings/rhymes on them), interesting ‘nooks and crannies’ together with the only sea and harbour views in Polperro from inside a pub. The Family Room/Restaurant is up the stairs - left of the bar. There is also here a small upper seated patio outside (the entrance is labelled ‘Fire Door’). Eclectic décor including works by local artists, “breweriana” and souvenirs from overseas can also be discovered throughout the pub. Locally-sourced food is home-cooked with various dishes available on the menu, with a daily changing specials board.
