Nestled right here in the heart of the beautiful waterside village of Noss Mayo (we do rather like to show it off, you’ll see why when you get here), The Ship Inn is a bit of a gem. She’s got plenty of old-world charm – creaky beams and all, but we’ve made sure you’re surrounded by all the little comforts that make it hard to leave. Happens to the best of us.

Whether you fancy settling in by the fire with a pint (we always say you can’t rush a proper pint), tucking into something hearty with friends and family, or enjoying a long, lazy lunch out in our waterside garden – there’s always a spot waiting for you.

What we’re really about is keeping things simple, warm, and welcoming. Good food – proper food – made with fresh, British ingredients (we know the folks who grow, catch, and make the stuff, which feels right, doesn’t it?), and a cracking selection of local tipples too. Honestly, you might find it hard to leave without trying at least one or two.

Between the views, the food, and our team who genuinely love what they do (you’ll spot them – they’re the ones always ready with a friendly chat or a daft story), we like to think we’re not just a pub – we’re part of the village.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun in our garden or catching the breeze by the water, make sure there’s a spritz in hand. From zingy Sparkling Margaritas to citrus-kissed Allora Limone, the ever-refreshing Pimm’s Fizz, and the blush-pink charm of a Lillet Rosé Spritz (just to name a few), every glass is light, vibrant, and bursting with summer flavour.

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.
