Lugger Inn
About
The Lugger Inn, nestled on the picturesque quay of Polruan, is a historic Cornish pub dating back to 1794. Its charming façade, once a sail loft and fish cellar, now welcomes diners with a warm, convivial atmosphere and local, seasonal cuisine prepared by passionate chefs. Guests can savor award‑winning St Austell ales, a curated selection of wines, gins, and classic pub favourites—all paired with stunning harbour views from a small terrace. The pub also offers a relaxed takeaway Hatch, where traditional Cornish pasties and fish‑and‑chips are freshly made for the seaside crowd. In addition to daily dining, the Lugger Inn hosts weekly quiz nights on Thursdays and a charity quiz each month, drawing locals and tourists alike. The venue’s “Dog‑Friendly” policy means your furry friends are always welcome to enjoy the lively atmosphere. For those staying overnight, the inn provides four comfortable ensuite rooms, one featuring a private roof terrace overlooking the estuary. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely meal, a lively night out, or a peaceful escape by the water, the Lugger Inn delivers an authentic Cornish experience steeped in history, friendly service, and maritime charm.
