Big pub just off The Moor. Always has a table available. Some outdoor seating. Good and varied menu - something for everyone in the family including all day breakfast. If you’re a fan of Robert Galbraith’s detective Cormaron Strike. Read the latest book (Troubled Blood) and you’ll spot a meeting in this Palacio Lounge in Falmouth. Note the photos here are not actually of the Lounge in Falmouth.

A great place for a drink and a bite of lunch overlooking the river. Especially good on a sailing day when you can watch the Falmouth Classic boats rigging up and racing. (There’s a little paperback book in the house with some interesting information about the Falmouth classic boats, and pictures so you can identify them.).

A great pub for a drink or food. Lovely views. Good outside dinning area. Perhaps arrive by boat - either higher a boat yourself or take the ferry which docks here when the tide is low. Be sure to book if you want a table for food.
