Best Pubs in Padstow

Padstow’s pub scene is defined by its maritime heritage and regional Cornish flavors. This collection features the town's oldest establishment, The Golden Lion, dating back to the 14th century, alongside Rick Stein’s The Cornish Arms in nearby St Merryn. Many of these historic venues, such as The Shipwrights and Old Custom House, are situated directly on the harbor front, offering outdoor seating and traditional interiors within former smithies and fishermen’s cottages.
