Welcome to The Boathouse, Falmouth
A licensed pub for over 300 years, The Boathouse is one of Falmouth’s favourite pubs and one of only a handful of independent, free houses remaining in the town. With stunning views over Falmouth Harbour, the Penryn River and Flushing, and out to the Carrick Roads, the pub specialises in expertly made, locally sourced and seasonal food, accompanied by hand-chosen speciality ales and wines.

What our reviews say on Tripadvisor
Great staff, Great food, Great view.
Very friendly welcoming staff with a nice atmosphere in a cute pub.
One of the best Sunday Roasts I have ever eaten !!!! Beautifully tender topside of beef, cooked perfectly with delicious selection of vegetables and tats. A truly wonderful home cooked taste, and the gravy was especially good 🙂
Highly recommend booking a visit to this lovely pub with a fantastic view of Falmouth Harbour.

Lovely Supper
Came here for a birthday supper and it was delicious! My husband had a fishpie after seeing someone else having it(!) and I had a steak cooked to perfection.
Felt covid safe with track &trace and one way system in place, as well as witnessing good standard of cleaning between users.
Great views and lovely helpful staff.

Location
Directions
The Boathouse is situated at the top of the Old High Street in Falmouth, Cornwall. From The Moor/Prince of Wales Pier, walk up the Old High Street, under the clock-tower archway and bear left up the hill, you can’t miss us!
If you’re driving, our postcode is TR11 2AG. There is ample free on-street parking around the pub (right outside the pub is free after 6pm and free all day on Sunday), but please check signs for restrictions as parking wardens do appear from time to time. The nearest long-stay public car park is Quarry Hill, which is a leisurely 5 minute stroll away.
We respectfully ask that you do not park directly opposite the junction outside the pub as this can cause problems for people turning the corner.
Our Suppliers
We are extremely proud to work with local fishermen, butchers, grocers and breweries who provide us with the very best seafood, meat, fruit & vegetables, wines and beers in the South West. Seasonality, sustainability and locality are very important to the team at The Boathouse; we try our hardest to ensure that we are able to produce high quality and delicious food while keeping our environmental impact as low as possible. We stock a selection of over 30 gins, 20 rums and have a selection of locally brewed ales on tap. Cornwall is a treasure trove for lovers of food and drink, why would we need to look anywhere else?!
