We are delighted to announce that from 1st June, the St Mawes Ferry will be operating a Thursday late night ferry!

In addition to the regular summer timetable, the late service means plenty of time to enjoy an evening out in St Mawes or Falmouth every Thursday.

Evenings in St Mawes

A stunning Cornish fishing village at the Roseland peninsula's end, St Mawes is a perfect place for a summer's evening - take a stroll on the beach, book dinner by the water's edge, or enjoy a night of live music.

The Watch House is a local favourite harbourside restaurant with a comfy and cosy ground floor dining area and bar with family-friendly booths.

Whether it's lobster straight out of St Mawes Bay or purple sprouting broccoli from the farm down the road, sourcing their food from local suppliers is part of their commitment to providing great seasonable and sustainable dishes.

For a quick bite to eat, there is a takeaway window serving fresh and local Fish and Chips, which taste even better on Summers Beach!

With a beautiful first-floor dining room, The Watch House is perfect for an intimate birthday celebration or private party. They can accommodate up to 60 guests, so why not plan an extra special evening with a party and boat trip too?!

Visit the Lower Deck Bar at the St Mawes Hotel every Thursday for an evening of live music from Cornwall's most talented up-and-coming musicians from 7-9pm. With the last ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth leaving at 9.45pm, there's plenty of time for music and a post-gig tipple.

As well as live music, the St Mawes Hotel offers excellent food choices - grab a takeaway pizza to eat on the beach, or book a table at the lively and informal Upper Deck. With locally sourced ingredients, try Italian-style fresh small plates, handmade pasta or delicious wood-fired pizzas.

Book a dining spot at The Idle Rocks for a stunning front-row seat at the water's edge. The menu is homely yet sophisticated, elegant yet immensely welcoming, with a "home from home" informality.

Sun-drenched by day and candle-lit by night, Hotel Tresanton has a collection of spaces for eating, drinking and relaxing.

Above the rocky coastline, a series of three terraces support shaded daybeds and a bar serving drinks – while further down, almost on sea level, are high perches and tables for cocktails overlooking St Anthony's Lighthouse.

Evenings in Falmouth

If you're holidaying in St Mawes and fancy an evening or long day out in Falmouth without the long drive, we have you covered!

Indidog restaurant and bar is one of Falmouth's finest. Expect impeccable service, fresh, locally sourced ingredients and breathtaking harbourside views overlooking the River Fal and the Roseland from Fish Strand Quay.

The food is modern British, focusing on locally sourced Cornish produce. As the name suggests, dogs are welcome, and the cocktails are heavenly.

The Greenbank offers the stunning Water's Edge Restaurant and cosy Working Boat pub. Two AA rosette-awarded, award-winning Water's Edge restaurant provides relaxed and affordable fine dining. Executive Chef Nick, Falmouth born and bred, heads up the kitchen team and understands guests want to taste the view.

Perched perfectly on the harbour, you'll find uninterrupted panoramics in the restaurant, whatever the time of day. 

The downstairs pub, The Working Boat, offers hearty favourites and local tipples in an authentic atmosphere.

Established in 1876 and rebuilt in 2015, it is one of Falmouth's oldest pubs. With nods to Falmouths nautical past, you can while away a few hours, sinking a pint or two and getting lost in the view. Dog-friendly and perfect for families, it's open daily from midday to closing.

If Asian food is your thing, RoBo Bar and Canteen brings you rolls and bowls of classic Asian flavours with a Cornish flair. Inspired by Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese dishes with Asian bar snacks, cool cocktails and Asahi on tap, you're guaranteed a delicious evening.

Want to do a spot of bar hopping or exploring the streets of Falmouth before the last ferry back to St Mawes?  Then grab some award-winning fish and chips from Harbour Lights and take in the views from Customer House Quay whilst you dine al-fresco.
