We had a great meal here of locally caught fish. Can get busy so recommend booking. You can park up just outside Polruan, go for a walk along the coastal path with stunning views of the sea and of Fowey across the estuary, eat at the Lugger Inn, take the ferry across to Fowey avoiding all the parking problems, see Fowey and then come back on the ferry to Polruan and walk back through the village to your car.
