The beautiful village of Noss Mayo is 10 miles East of Plymouth and lies on the South Side of the Yealm estuary in South West Devon. Newton Ferrers lies to the North. The tidal estuary is stunningly beautiful, surrounded by rolling wooded hills. Protected from the storms of the channel, it is ideal sailing waters and boat hire is readily available. It is also beautiful for long or short walks with The Ship Inn being the perfect place to stop for a drink, lunch or dinner.
Please note that access to the pub via the tidal car park may be affected by the tide during your visit for those with mobility issues. If the tide is in, you may need to use the Passage Road entrance which has stairs to enter or exit, as access via the tidal car park can become restricted. We recommend checking tide times in advance or contacting us for assistance.
Adjacent to the main pub is The Glasshouse. A beautiful, contemporary drinking and dining area on the very edge of the water.
Whether it’s a round of cocktails, a romantic dinner for two, or indulging in one of our beloved Sunday Roasts, our gift vouchers are the perfect festive gift to treat that special someone. Plus, they’ve got a full year of fun to look forward to.
Picture plates piled high with fresh mussels, Cornish Hake and whole Devon Plaice (just to name a few). Our menu is a love letter to all things from the sea.
