The SloopInn

On the Wharf with the harbour in front of it, the Sloop calls itself an inn of 1312 — 'believed to date from around', in the pub's own careful phrase — though the present slate-floored building reads seventeenth or eighteenth century and has been listed Grade II since 1952. The freehold belongs to Punch; the lease is worked by Tremorna Inns, a family company that since 2024 has shared its owners with St Ives Brewery — which is why the Meor IPA on the bar sits more or less in the family, alongside Cornish and Sharp's casks. Three bars hung with local artwork, food from breakfast through to half past nine, and nine named rooms upstairs — Boatman's, Crow's Nest and Midshipman's among them — some looking straight onto the harbour.
