The Chain Locker, Falmouth

St Austell pub on the harbour side, overlooking Custom House Quay. Plenty of character within the J shaped interior, they've nailed the olde worlde harbour pub theme pretty well with wood panelling, stone/wood walls and nautical paraphernalia on all surfaces. Very busy, had to stand at the bar. GBG listed, six pumps with four of theirs on and the Anthem was really good (NBSS 4) - I didn’t note the price being much out-of-whack with other nearby outlets. Staff were all dressed in stripey tops, quite wanky really. Jumbo Third Reich-style eagle on the ceiling caught my eye, if it was indeed salvaged as war booty then fair play to whoever lugged it back. There’s also a big airy upstairs bar for dining with fabulous views across the harbour. This one ticked a good amount of boxes for me.
