The layout of the pub clearly indicates an emphasis on food rather than booze, but upon my visit I found the menu rather disappointingly small and conventional. Because of the location and atmosphere it is busy with families and groups of (mostly) younger people. The "restaurant pitch" is further reinforced by the generous layout of the bars for drinks and food. The range of ales is, again, dominated by St. Austell Brewery, and they're kept nice and fresh. But the highlight of The Fort Inn is its spacious outside seating to the back, from which you get a splendid view of Towan Beach (and the Great Western Beach in the background). Unfortunately the furnishings could be more comfortable - it is a strain to sit at those big, raw tables the way they're constructed - you simply cannot stretch out your legs. I've seen these kinds of benches at other pubs, too - maybe it's their way of telling you not to linger. Atmosphere is friendly, clean, "open".

The Shipwrights is a nice traditional pub on the Padstow Harbour front, and - as so many in this…read morearea - it's affiliated to St. Austell Brewery. Padstow is a very touristy place, and the harbour promenade is rather narrow - so the area around the pub, and the pub itself, can get verrrrryyyy busy on weekends and on weekday evenings. People with claustrophobia issues might feel a tad uncomfortable during these peak hours. The Shipwrights is very "old-style", which appeals to middle-aged punters such as myself. The smallish outside seating areas to the front offer a nice view of the harbour, but again can feel cramped due to the sheer popularity of the place. St. Austell ales are kept fresh on tap, the prices are slightly elevated as you'd expect . Solid pub food is available, too. Certainly one of the better pub options in Padstow.

Although it's on a busy main road, the pub looks like something you'd find in a village: dating from the 17th Century (possibly earlier), and appropriately thatched, the interior is cosy with a tiny gar areas and two eating areas (again both pretty cosy). The decor is very traditional - copper topped tables and patterned carpets with photographs and maritime memorabilia. They serve a full range of alcoholic and soft drinks, with three ales in tap. There's a good menu - all good, unpretentious pub grub, freshly cooked to order and with (very) generous portions. We had ham, egg & chips, and a leek and potato cheesy bake with salad and garlic bread. That and a pint of Doom Bar came to under £24. We would love to have tried out the pudding menu but didn't have room, but saw some amazing ice cream sundaes being consumed at neighbouring tables. Parking is at the rear by the garden and river, accessed by a challengingly narrow lane. There's also a small covered outdoor area at the rear.

Anyone who complains about lack of elevators and other modern accoutrements miss the point entirely. We loved this place. The employees were all pleasant and seriously helpful. The location is a short walk from downtown but on a quiet corner away from noisy crowds. Our room was comfortable with all expected amenities. The continental breakfast was fabulous with eggs, bacon, ham, and salmon cooked to order. Coffee and tea were piping hot and unlimited. The bartender/hotel manager was a very pleasant fellow named Gary who was more than willing to lend a hand or offer pertinent information or directions with a smile. On Tuesday and Thursday nights local musicians gather and play traditional English folk music. Free! And they are quite good. The bar and lounge are pretty much like they have been for hundreds of years and literally ooze with tradition. Great place to sip a beer or nurse a gin and tonic. Terrific place to stay. So glad we chose them. Great job folks. Now, if we can only figure out the name of that French ship that was captured during the Battle of Trafalgar and lent one of it's beams that now sits overhead at the bar.
