If you love fish you will love Seadrift. Chef and owner Chris produces dishes using the freshest produce sourced locally. Chris and his team have created a cosy, welcoming restaurant perfect for lunch or an evening meal.
A beautiful 17th Century pub overlooking the Porthleven harbour. The perfect place to watch calm seas and sunshine over the harbour in summer and enjoy storm watching in the winter. Delicious traditional pub food and great beer!
