Atlantic Inn — Restaurant in England

Arr, let me tell ye a tale of the Atlantic Inn in Porthleven, me heartie! I be havin' meself a proper jolly time there on Christmas Eve Eve, and it be a place I've frequented more times than a seagull dips in the sea.

The Atlantic Inn, she be like a treasure chest of good times, aye. The music on Christmas Eve Eve – I tell ye, it be better than a chorus of mermaids serenadin' the moon. Had me tappin' me peg leg and swingin' me tankard like a true buccaneer.

This place, it be more familiar to me than me own ship. I've navigated these ale-soaked waters more times than I've said "ahoy." It's like comin' home to a cozy cove after a day of high-seas adventures.

The atmosphere, matey, it be as warm as a Cornish pasty fresh out of the oven. The locals, they be chattin' away like seagulls gossipin' about the day's catch. The staff, they be friendlier than a pod of dolphins escortin' a ship into harbor.

And the grog – oh, the grog! They be pourin' pints of joy that make ye feel like ye've found the fabled Fountain of Ale. I've hoisted many a tankard in that fine establishment, and each time it be a celebration fit for a pirate captain.

Now, the Atlantic Inn, it be a place where the laughter flows like rum and the memories be as rich as a ship's hold filled with plunder. It's a proper Cornish haven, and I'd give it more gold doubloons than I've buried in me secret treasure chest.

So, if ye find yerself in Porthleven and crave a rollickin' good time, set a course for the Atlantic Inn. It be a legendary spot, and mark me words, ye won't be leavin' disappointed. Aye aye,...

Rented a holiday cottage where it stated in the guest book that you will get a free bottle of wine with every two main courses ordered here. We asked the waitress who said "oh I don't think so, I'll check", I heard her ask the land lady who replied unhappily "oh give them 1 bottle" having in mind we ordered 5 starters and 6 adult main courses?!

We did not make a scene about this, but it was poor to overhear that (being a former front of house manager and restaurant owner).

They say they cater for gluten free, which is great, but in the end there was a choice of 2 starter, homemade soup of the day or something else (melon I think) the homemade crab cakes we were told weren't as they were breaded, but one of our table ordered them and they did not look breaded. The landlady took our starters order, when my mum asked what the soup was (being a celiac). The landlady said "carrot and coriander" (my mums least favourite) when my mum said "oh no thank you" the landlady said "well it's very nice and always goes well".

Just unpleasant attitude really, the food was nice. We returned for Sunday lunch the next day which put the nail in the coffin and we won't return...

Easy to miss if you're around the harbour as The Ship and Harbour Inn are easily the most prominent pubs; however, just 3 minute walk up the hill will get you here.

We found it a lot quieter and more relaxed during the day with seating inside, outside on a raised terrace and across the road in a large car park area.

Drinks range was large with 3 cask (looks like they sometimes have 4) a range of keg (lager & cider), spirits including a vast range of Tarquins gin and soft drinks, all alongside the expected peanuts, crisps etc.

The food was excellent, fresh and incredibly good value for money, the steak, bacon, egg, cheese and olive sandwich, with chips and salad was around £7...I would have expected to pay nearer £12 in all honesty.

The fish and chips was around £12 with fresh, flakey fish and crispy batter that wasn't soaked in oils. The Jerk turkey was around £10 and was delicious.

Everyone we spoke to was welcoming and genuinely friendly, with them remembering us from previous day's which made a real impression considering how many different faces they must see each day.

Highly recommend the short...
