About

The Mariners Public House, located on the cliff‑edge of Rock overlooking the Camel Estuary, has been a cornerstone of the local community since the mid‑1990s. With a relaxed atmosphere and spectacular views of the Tamar estuary, the pub offers a menu of British classic favourites, seasonal specials and a carefully curated selection of ales from Sharp’s Brewery. The interior is comfortable and cosy, with a warm ambience that feels both historic and inviting, while the outdoor terrace and ground‑floor bar provide the perfect setting for a relaxed drink or a hearty meal. The dining experience is rooted in local ingredients with highlights such as the hearty Ploughman’s, the celebrated Mariners Burger and a rotating specials menu that showcases the best of Cornwall’s produce each season. Everyone – from families with highchairs to dog‑friendly guests on the downstairs terrace – can enjoy quality food and drink. The pub also offers free Wi‑Fi, vegan and vegetarian options, and is fully accessible to guests with acoustic sensitivities; though no lift is present, the entrance is open and easy to navigate. Whether you’re watching the ferry traffic below the slipway or taking in the dramatic vistas, The Mariners welcomes locals and visitors alike. Reservations are available online or by telephone and can be made up to six months in advance. The pub routinely welcomes walk‑ins but recommends booking, especially during peak summer months.
