The Fountain Inn

The Fountain Inn is the oldest pub in Mevagissey, a 15th century inn at the foot of Cliff Street a few steps from the inner harbour and the village square. It is said to stand on the site of Porthilly, the first recorded settlement here, and has belonged to St Austell Brewery since Walter Hicks bought it in 1883. There are two bars on the ground floor and a small dining room upstairs. The kitchen is known for its fish and chips, also sold to take away, alongside fresh local seafood, Cornish steaks, a Sunday lunch, vegetarian dishes and a children's menu. Cask ales come from St Austell Brewery and the pub has been listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Two en suite double rooms are let upstairs. Well behaved dogs are welcome on a lead, children are welcome in the bars and restaurant, and the pub is open every day of the year. Phone the number on this listing for tables and rooms.
