My wife and I visited several times during the week commencing 14th June 2008. Good modern day pub - nice enough venue with mos cons such as quiz machines etc. Ate outside by the harbour once - chose it because the other options seemed so expensive. Had two straightforward meals - nothing fancy - and they were very good.....with outstandingly quick service even though they had a wedding reception going on inside. Also went to the quiz on Thursday evening - great fun (though a rather dour presenter). For the non-arty-farty types an overall good pub (see also my comments on Atlantic Inn and Ship Inn). For the purists I can see that it wouldn't suit, but I liked it.

What a disappointment. We opted for this venue for early dinner on a windy and rainswept June evening. Just the sort of venue ideal for the conditions and spectacular scenery.
Sadly, we found that its outstanding location on the historic Porthleven harbour is all it has going for it (oh, but it does sell draught Cornish Rattler cider!!).
Awful food, very bland which matched the lack of atmosphere within the premises. Avoid at all costs - there are far more beautiful places nearby. Don't be swayed by the relatively inexpensive menu or specials board. The bad experience left a nasty taste in the mouth together with the blandness of the dishes.

Back in the day, I am assured this was a great pub. Now, however, it's no more than a boring chain pub with little or no atmosphere. There's nothig wrong with it, but there's nothing right with it either.

good food good service all you could ask for a lot better with the new lay out
|
Over-rated. Food industrial. Good views from the tables outside.

GREAT LOCATION GOOD BEER GOOD STAFF VERY POOR FOOD

I visited the Harbour Inn several times with my girlfriend in September 2004 and thought it was a fantastic place. The welcome was always warm and sitting on the harbourside with a few pints watching the sun go down is a lovely way to spend a couple of hours of an evening. It is definitely one of the first places that we are heading to when we come down agaion this year!

Idyllic harbourside location. Full range of St Austell Brewery beers. Spoilt somewhat by the recent refurbishment that did away with the old, traditional look and replaced it with modern sofas & coffee tables. However, if you didn't know it before, you'll probably like it.

Good food. Stayed 3 nights B+B. Would highly recommend. Only downside not much atmosphere.

One of my favourite pubs anywhere in Britain. Great beer, good food, and a fantastic location. Nothing better than a beer on the harbourside on a warm summer evening!
