The Rising Sun Inn

The Rising Sun Inn Portmellon is a 17th century inn set in the cove of Portmellon, about a mile south of Mevagissey. Inside, you will find a relaxed place to eat and drink, and outside there are tables on the beach where you can sit and watch the water.

Drinks and food

At the bar you can choose from Cornish ales, lagers, ciders and wines. The kitchen serves food in the restaurant from Thursday to Saturday, 5pm to 9pm, and the Sunday roast runs from 12pm to 3pm, which makes a good reason to plan a weekend visit. On Tuesdays, pie and mash comes with a quiz, so it suits a group who fancy a bit of competition with their supper. Dogs are welcome too, so the whole household can come along.

Opening hours

The inn opens from 16:00 to 21:00 on Monday and Tuesday, from 12:00 to 22:00 on Wednesday, from 12:00 to 23:00 from Thursday to Saturday, and from 12:00 to 20:00 on Sunday. Because these are the current times, it is worth checking before a special trip if you are travelling some distance.

A day in Portmellon

Portmellon sits in a small cove within easy reach of the coast path, so you can build a walk into your visit. Then head to Portmellon beach for a stroll after your meal, or carry on to Mevagissey for a look around the harbour.
