In Bigbury on Sea
The Pilchard Inn, Burgh Island has been quenching the Island’s thirst for over 700 years. It first served the fisherman who lived on the Island and mainland shores, then the smuggler and wreckers who lured ships on to the western rocks and now serves hotel guests and the public. In walking distance across the beach when the tide is out, or accessed by the tractor when the tide is in. The non-residents bar only serves a limited food menu during the week but the Friday night curry evenings are well worth trying out (Tel: 01548 810514).
Unfortunately The Royal Oak, Bigbury, which was the local pub in Bigbury village has now closed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
