Tucked away in the heart of the beautiful waterside village of Noss Mayo, The Ship Inn is one of those places people stumble upon and wish they’d found sooner. Full of old-world charm, low beams, roaring fires, and views that are hard to leave behind, we like to think we’ve kept everything you’d hope for in a proper village pub – with a few thoughtful comforts thrown in too.
Whether you’re joining us for a pint by the fire, a long lunch in the waterside garden, or a relaxed dinner with family and friends, there’s always a warm welcome waiting.
At the heart of what we do is simple, honest hospitality. Proper food, thoughtfully prepared using the best British ingredients from land and sea, alongside local ales, carefully chosen wines, and all the little things that turn a visit into an afternoon that somehow lasts longer than planned.
More than just a pub, The Ship Inn is part of village life – shaped by the people who visit, the team who care for it, and the stunning corner of Devon we’re lucky enough to call home.
Discover our menu, featuring locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients prepared by our talented chefs, and complement your meal with a selection from our well-stocked bar, offering a variety of wines, spirits, and craft beers.

Tucked away on the south side of the beautiful Yealm Estuary, the waterside village of Noss Mayo sits around 10 miles east of Plymouth in South Devon, opposite its neighbouring village, Newton Ferrers.
Surrounded by rolling wooded hills and sheltered waters, this stunning corner of Devon is perfect for sailing, coastal exploring, and walks of every length – with The Ship Inn ideally placed for a well-earned drink, long lunch, or relaxed dinner by the water.
Whether you’re arriving by car, boat, or on foot, the journey is all part of the charm.
A note on access & tides
Please be aware that access via the tidal car park may be affected by the tide, particularly for guests with mobility concerns.
When the tide is in, access from the car park can become restricted and you may need to use the Passage Road entrance, which includes steps. We recommend checking local tide times ahead of your visit or getting in touch with our team if you have any accessibility questions – we’re always happy to help.
