The Old Custom House

The Old Custom House is a St Austell Brewery pub with rooms on South Quay in Padstow, facing straight across the harbour. It opens early in the morning and serves through the day, from a light bite to a three course meal, with pub classics given contemporary twists, seasonal specials and a Sunday roast. The bar has the brewery's beers alongside wines by the glass, classic cocktails and barista coffee. Dogs are welcome, and the pub publishes its own guide to dog friendly days out nearby. Upstairs there are 23 en suite bedrooms, many with harbour views, bookable through the website along with tables. The pub is on the harbour, with the Camel Trail close by, so it works as a base for a Padstow weekend as much as a lunch stop. Its sister pubs in the area are the Shipwrights in Padstow, the Oystercatcher at Polzeath and the Port Gaverne near Port Isaac. It suits couples and families wanting a harbour view, early breakfasts before a bike ride, and anyone looking for a reliable pub meal in the middle of town.
