Lovely pub which welcomes both locals and tourists. Visited several times during our holiday. All food really tasty. We had Thai green curry, lasagne, scampi and fish pie and all delicious. The staff are really friendly and are doing a starling job during these difficult times. Can’t wait to come back.

Another splendid evening at this great pub. Nicky, Johnny, Charles and the whole team are working brilliantly under the new guidelines and the pub is deservedly busy. We all agreed the food was outstanding - had to have some of the Fowey mussels to start, best anywhere in the world. Superb rib eye steaks, fish pie, lasagne. Thank you so much, our visiting friends and family are always so impressed and jealous of our wonderful local!

Excellent food, great pub...friendly staff.
Managing Covid requirements very well.
We both had the ribeye steak. As good as it gets. Superb.
A good pint of Guinness as well...which is always the sign of a well kept pub IMO.
Defo got back...this is how pubs should be...a credit to the landlord.
If your driving to the Ship Inn...keep driving until you get to the Dolphin...you won’t be disappointed.

Havn't been for a while even though its one of those pubs that you always enjoy - Even though still with the covid rules it was probably our best visit. So welcoming, the staff really nice and attentive. The food was excellent - I did the burger test and the quality of the beef was excellent, so tasty, Even though the visit was short which I understand so as others can come in it was a good evening. Decor good as well. Thankyou.
