DELICIOUS FOOD

COMFY ACCOMMODATION

The awe-inspiring sense of history greets you as you enter The Dolphin Tavern, with the past echoing in the aged granite walls, the intriguing shipping artifacts and a warm atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at home.

In 1585, the tavern served as John Hawkin’s headquarters, recruiting Cornishmen to fight the Spanish Armada. Sir Walter Raleigh is thought to have smoked the first pipe of tobacco in Britain at The Dolphin and the tavern was used as a courtroom for centuries following. So legend says, it is also home to three ghostly spirits.

This long and colourful history makes a visit to The Dolphin Tavern a unique experience.
