This restaurant is perfectly located with beautiful views over the fully working and busy harbour. The menu is simple, however that isn’t a criticism, the food was delightful, full of flavour and well presented. Staff were busy, but still managed to be really attentive and helpful. If you go to Mevagissey, book a table here, even if it’s just for scallops and chips!

About the restaurant

Nestling beside Seaton green and just 50 yards from the beach, The Smugglers Inn is a family and dog friendly pub that prides itself on offering a traditional selection of classic pub fayre, cooked by our enthusiastic team of chefs, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Along with the classics, we have a continually updated Specials Board where our chefs love to show their flare and creativity.

The highlight of our culinary week is undoubtedly our Sunday Carvery. Routinely described by our regular customers as ‘The best roast in the area’, with a selection of 4 roast meats, crispy roast potatoes, an amazing selection of 7 vegetables, plus homemade Yorkshire puddings and gravy, it is a truly sumptuous feast to end your week!

Vegetarians are also well catered for, with many of our dishes available with a vegetarian option, including our carvery which comes with TWO homemade vegetarian choices – a delicious nut roast and a vegan lentil roast.

There were no walk ins for the carvery due to how busy they were, booking a table is advised and the only way to guarantee getting a carvery. The food and staff are lovely here.
