Reviews Summary

The Working Boat is highly praised for its delicious food, particularly its Sunday roasts and fish and chips, coupled with stunning Falmouth Harbour views. Diners rave about the friendly and attentive service, cozy atmosphere, and dog-friendly environment. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some minor points like the mintiness of peas have been noted.

"Absolutely fantastic !!! Seriously the best roast dinner in Falmouth.
Staff are amazing. 🤩
The food itself, I am extremely critical of Sunday roasts, as you will see from some of my other reviews. So when I say that this is the best roast, in Falmouth, it comes from a place of experience.
The Yorkshire pudding, incredible freshly cooked,you can tell. Some of the restaurants in Falmouth will cook them probably the day before and you can taste that they have been.. the roast potatoes !!!! absolutely delicious, full of flavour and beautifully cooked.
The meat the beef is real beef none of this stuck together crap that you get in some of the other restaurants in Falmouth. This was beautiful beef cooked splendidly.
The chicken was moist and full of flavour 😊
The gravy !!!!!! Now that is worth a special mention. I have not had proper chicken gravy for a very long time. This is proper stuff clearly cooked with the chicken/ Beef stock and the flavour is exquisite.. Vegetables served separately and cooked perfectly.
Everything was piping hot and you could tell everything was Fresh !!!!!! How you want a roast to be 💝
We have booked for next week and we will be there every Sunday now till the spring time. 💝💝💝 thank you 🤩
Please look after you chefs, cherish them they are worth every penny xxx"

Dinner at The Working Boat Pub in Falmouth | The Cornish Life

Re-launched in 2015, The Working Boat pub is one of Falmouth’s hidden gems. It’s on the far side of town, built underneath the Greenbank hotel facing out towards the quay with views of Falmouth harbour, so from the street you’d never know it was there!. This makes it a popular hideout for locals – we saw at least 3 people we knew there when we visited!
