The Pilchard Inn stands on Burgh Island, a grassy outcrop that gets cut off from the South Devon coast with the tides. A traditional 14th century 2 bar pub, dating back to 1336 with bare stone walls, exposed roof timbers and stone paved floor. Home-made soup is available from the bar, with meals from the adjacent Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel kitchen. A new addition is the Pilchard Inn Café, all-day Café located downstairs. Meals are available from 1200 until 2100 daily, with Curry nights on Fridays from 1800. The main bar is reserved for hotel guests & regulars. Visitors are welcome at the Slipway Bar, with up to two live beers available. The House Beer, if available, is brewed by St. Austell.
