The Five Pilchards Inn has stood on the slipway at Porthallow since the mid-1800s. Named for the silver fish that built this village, run today by Grace and George Ross.
Built on the slipway at Porthallow when pilchard fishing was the lifeblood of the Lizard Peninsula.
Through two world wars the inn remained the meeting point for fishermen, farmers and visitors alike.
The 630-mile path is fully waymarked. We're discovered as its exact halfway point — and walkers have been calling in ever since.
Grace and George keep the inn open seven days a week, all year round, for everyone who finds their way here.
Locals, travellers, families, dogs, walkers caked in mud. The door is the same for all of you.
Cornish ingredients, cooked the way they should be. Nothing pretending to be more than it is.
We live and work on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Britain. We act like it.
Seven days a week, all year round. The fire is lit, the kettle's on, and there's a stool free.
Local ale, local fish, local suppliers wherever we can.
There's no rush here. Stay for one. Stay for the night. Stay for the week.
