Good view above the square as it feels like the pub is on stilts (very wise!)
A little boring inside though and expensive with same old ales.
5/10

Virtually empty when I went but it was a November Monday afternoon after all !
The old buttermarket underneath the steps now acts as their outdoor seating area and you could probably enjoy watching the tourists passing by as you sat with your pint in summertime! My St.Austell beer was OK but I just had the one and maybe I should have given the pub another try later in the week. They do food and B&B and the views from the bar are superb. Nothing wrong with the place and you can easily do a little pub crawl around the town centre from here. Worth a look in.

Arrived at King of Prussia September 12th. 1:45pm. Town very busy with tourists
My rating of 9 is for the food and beer only as we eat outside and only went to the bar to order. The bar, on quick scan looked comfy and traditional and I was served quickly for food and drink ordering. There are now light-weight tables and chairs outside the front of the pub which have a post & membrane enclosure to keep kids and dogs from wandering off.
We ordered 1& ½ pints of Tribute (tasted fine), Cornish ham ploughman’s and a Crab and Mayo sandwich. Both were about £8 each. Total was £21 inc. beers.
I was warned that a wait of 25 minutes would be needed as they were very busy. I confirmed the order and asked if our dog could go in the eating area. We were told in a most welcoming way, that yes the dog could come into the enclosure and would also be very welcome to come up (the steep steps) into the bar.
The food duly arrived and I was more than surprised at the presentation of the ploughman’s. Served on a board, a bit fiddly for the salad but SO nicely done and super ham and cheese with a whole basket of the most fresh French style course – cut bread. A pot of Chutney and a pot of fresh chopped spring onion were included.
My partners Crab sandwich was just bulging with crab and she described it as a “crab sarnie to die for”. Must mention the chips! There was a little “bucket” of chips that were not ordered (£2:25 on menu, complimentary for waiting??), these were hand cut chunky ones and honestly, the best I have ever eaten. Golden, crisp and non greasy.
I can only hope this standard is maintained, as I would love for other folk to have as good experience as we did.
Well done the staff at K.O.P.

Seems more of a foody pub but well kept St Austell beers and we ate here twice in the week and were pretty impressed with the quality and the price.
Good views over to Polruan too.

St Austell Beers only but the best Proper Job in town.
Nice location but no outside seating and limited seating inside with a pool table taking up a fair chunk of space.
Didn't eat but food looked decent.

A nice pub with good ale and comfy seats- food not bad too. Fills up quickly and often frequented by the younger locals for the pool and music so not always good for a quiet drink.
Good off season.

Popped in here on a cold Saturday lunchtime last month, for a pint after eating a pasty on the harbourside. Decent enough spot for a quick drink, and a nice pint of St Austell Tinners it was too

Visited this pub many times over the years. It was awful, stinking before the smoking ban. Since then however it has been pleasant and welcoming. I like the big round table in the window where you can watch the activity of tourists and seagulls. However, took a friend there last week ...there were only two people at the bar who looked fierce,like they had been there for some time. No greeting, no eye contact no welcome from the young girl serving, she was involved with the druken duo. We ordered 3 pints of Tinners ..they were dreadful, undrinkable...but with the guys at the bar we felt it better just to leave rather than ask for replacements - we were pleased to leave on the last ferry this year back to Meva

Large open plan pub with views of the estuary. Suprisingly quiet when we visited late on Friday evening. Not much in the way of atmosphere, but a decent enough pub.
Four hand pumps at the bar, but they were all duplicated so there were actually only two beers on, both from St. Austell's. Also Blackthorn and Cornish Rattler cider.
|
Nice food, lovely food but asked to leave table before we managed to order dessert as they needed it for others!!!
|
Agree with previous poster about big tables and sofas. This in Cornwall not central london. Beer was ok. welcome was non existent
|
Rightly popular because of the location, but suffers from the big tables and leather sofas disease so you can't get seat when there more than about a dozen people in there, which is often. So chances of standing outside with a plastic glass in the rain are rather high. There are better pubs in Fowey. Horridly decorated restaurant downstairs.

Great pub in an even better location. Always good and polite staff. Always good food. Always good beer. Log fire in winter. Quiz nights. Pool table, but used quietly. Music sometimes too loud. My favorite pub in Fowey.

Good welcome but no HSD. Plastic roast pork served on a table with fantastic views of the harbour.
