Fountain Inn, Mevagissey

3 Cliff Street, Mevagissey, PL26 6QH (View on Google Map)
Improve This Listing

Friendly, two-bar 15th-century inn with slate floors, stone walls, historic photographs of the town, and very low beams - the tunnel leading to the side door is particularly low. The genuine Cornish landlord - St Austell Brewery's longest-serving - was a local fisherman, and has run the pub for many years. The Smugglers' Bar still features signs of the pilchard press which was once housed here; a glass plate in the floor covers the pit where the fish oil was caught (and which doubled as a store for contraband). The meat was compressed and fed to Nelson's navy. Accommodation is in 3 letting rooms, of which 2 are ensuite. Regular buses run to St. Austell. A new bar opening soon (spring 2004) will offer a changing beer from the brewery's seasonal or small batch ranges. There is disabled access but no disabled toilet. The pub may close earlier in the evening if quiet.
