Reviews
"Wonderful location and position. One of the oldest pub's in England. Sandwich like one you would get from Greggs. Good service and decent choice of drinks in historical building.Great opportunity let down by food, sandwich in a paper bag."
"The Pilchard Inn is just amazing a truly splendid place, the staff are amazing and the service is perfect. They were very kind and attentive to my family, they were very accommodating to both of my terrorist children and my dangerous wife and seemed to understand the suffering of an innocent man... This is a georgous place and perfect for a meal and few drinks. Definitely the best thing about Burgh Island is the Pilchard Inn and the fabulous staff, a place I would recommend to everyone and will definitely be returning too."
"What a lovely pub, you can walk over the sand bar about two hours before or after high water, or get the tractor if you really need a drink. Remember they only take cards, no cash!"
"Very old inn dating back to 1332, with a fascinating history of fishermen and smuggling. Plenty of interesting features. Good beer and friendly staff. Small inside but adequate seating outside. Beware of getting cut off by the tide, and of plastic glasses when drinking outside."
"The best fish and chips I have ever had!! We went in and ordered, it was busy as lunch rush so expected but the lady behind the bar was friendly. We sat outside so were giving a disk to collect our order when it flashed ready. Our disk didn't work but the waiter came and found us promptly with our food. The fish and chips were seasoned perfectly and a nice size portion. I would recommend this quirky pub with amazing fish and chips to anyone in the area. The fish and chips were about £14 per portion but the prices you expect to pay for an island and definitely worth every penny!"
