Fishermans Arms
About
The Fishermans Arms is a family‑owned riverside pub that has been welcoming visitors to the village of Golant since 1826. Nestled just ten minutes from the coastal town of Fowey, it offers panoramic views of the River Fowey, creating a relaxed and picturesque setting for both locals and tourists. The pub’s classic pub menu—featuring hearty pies, curries, burgers and a traditional Sunday roast—celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Between the traditional cask ales and an ever‑changing selection of guest‑ale brews, it’s a hub for beer lovers and foodies alike. Beyond its cosy interior, the Fishermans Arms is a community gathering place, hosting seasonal events such as the annual beer festival and live music nights that draw guests from across Cornwall. During the festive season, the pub stages the popular “12 Days of Christmas” sing‑alongs each year, turning the riverside terrace into a town‑square of celebration. Whether you’re looking for a quick pint, a hearty lunch or a relaxed evening on the terrace, this friendly, dog‑friendly venue combines heritage, great food and an unbeatable riverside atmosphere. Reservations are essential for peak times, especially on Sundays and during special events—but you can book a table directly on the site.
