The Ship Inn, Helston

Now reopened with new owners. It is now very much food orientated and good quality food at that. Had a meal here a couple of weeks ago and it was top notch. Now here is an interesting thing, not only was the food excellent but so was the beer. In my experience you can have one or the other, but here you get both. Although it is now food orientated you are still welcome if you just want a drink, some locals were in when we were there. Booking for food seems to be essential. Try the potion No9.

I was interested to see the previous comments on this pub because my experience was very similar. We were in this pub at the end of May. We ordered our food and sat down at our table. After 45 minutes nothing had happened so I went to the bar and asked the young man what was going on, he said our food would be along shortly. The strange thing we noticed was that people who arrived after us were being served. Eventually our food arrived after just over an hour and I think my wife's fish had been cooking for the entire time we had been waiting, it was totally dried out. I had Scillonian fish pie and I had fun looking for the fish. When the plates were cleared we were asked if everything was OK I pointed out that it was not and the waiter said that he would tell the chef. I'm never quite sure what the point of that is because if the chef cared he would not send out food of that standard in the first place. A bad experience.
