My friends and I popped in here hoping for a Sunday roast and despite not being able to book, were greeted by friendly staff who found us a table in the packed out pub. The food delivery was slick and the roasts were honestly the best I've ever eaten. Excellent quality, generous portions and in a delightfully classic pub. Absolutely loved it.

Lovely place to stop off for a beer or a really nice meal and in the Summer to sit up the top terrace with a stunning view over the village is just perfect. The food is always well cooked and the Fish & Chips is amazing.

After a long walk along the coast from lansallos car park to Polperro we stopped at the three pilchards public house. there was eight in our party and I can honestly say everyone of us had a wonderful meal. I went for the traditional Ham Egg and chips and it was first class. The service was second to none all the staff was polite and attentive and made our half way stop the highlight of the day. The walk was fantastic as well rain held off and the views from the cliff walk was breath taking.

Best cod and chip I've eaten in a long time.
Absolutely first-class food!
Waitress, waiter, and bartender were very professional, helpful, and friendly.

The perfect place to eat in this beautiful village.
The food is amazing and plentiful.
A wide selection of cornish gins, ales and ciders.
The service is so friendly and made to feel so welcome.
Highly recommend the fish & chips!
The steak and ale pie is a must too!

On the last day out of our Cornwall holiday  this year, we set out on a mission to find the tastiest fish and chips. We scoured Looe in the early afternoon peering into restaurants and cafes; surveying menus; surreptitiously eyeing plates of food on tables. Unimpressed, we held out for better. With stomachs rumbling, we headed off to see Polperro for the last time. We stood to one side for a group of German tourists  to take a photograph of ' The Three Pilchards ' They thanked us and said, 'you should eat in here, it is excellent!' Enough said! In we went, and they were absolutely right! ✅️
Juicy white cod in beautiful crunchy batter; topped with a garnish of pea shoots, with proper handcut chips and garden peas. Curry sauce and Tartare sauce were served on the side. A beautiful plate! 🤤😋👌 Best fish and chips ever.
Mission accomplished!
We will return next time for sure.

Decent food in a great location. Managed to get a walk-in table here on a Monday evening in August at 6pm without much trouble, although I suspect it's more difficult later in the week. The terrace is lovely and it's great sitting outside to eat while looking out over Polperro. The food itself was good and decent value for money. We shared some white bait for starters and for mains we both had the scallops and prawns with chips. The scallops and prawns were delicious and beautifully cooked, however the chips were a bit dark (oil too hot or cooked too long). Knocking off a star for the chips, and also the fact that you have to pay at the bar before your food is delivered - not a fan of that.

Great local pub. Went over to have early lunch, and it was wonderful. I had prawns in garlic butter, served with salad, bread, and butter on the side. The prawns were cooked beautifully, the bread was soft, and the salad was fresh. Truly delightful. We were lucky to get a table because it was very busy afterwards. The bonus is that the pub is surrounded by beautiful areas.

Warm welcoming dog friendly pub.  Really friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere.   We took out time and we're there for a special lunch.  Great food.  Definitely a step up from your expected "Pub grub". Good portion sizes and a wide menu selection.
Get there early to avoid disappointment.
