The Napoleon Inn – Boscastle
The Napoleon Inn in a historic 16th-century pub tucked up on Boscastle’s High Street, raised up in the main part of the village, is a favourite among visitors and locals alike for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and quality home-cooked meals.
Visitors commonly praise the pub’s hearty, well-prepared dishes, from classic fish and chips and roast dinners to comforting vegetarian and vegan options. Many visitors highlight the friendly and attentive staff, who go out of their way to make everyone feel at home — whether you’re dropping in after a coastal walk or celebrating a special occasion.
The Napoleon Inn also stands out for its real ales served straight from the cask, a great selection of drinks and a cosy interior defined by original low beams and an open fireplace — perfect after a blustery day on the cliffs. On many evenings, live music or local singing adds to the convivial atmosphere, giving you a true taste of Cornish pub culture. It even has its own music festival in July!
Dog-friendly and family welcoming, the Napoleon Inn offers visitors a genuinely memorable dining experience in Boscastle — one that feels authentically local, satisfying and full of character. The open garden has spectacular views and looks like a really good destination this Summer, we’ll certainly be going so we may even see you there!
