Pandora Inn, Historic pub and restaurant in Restronguet Creek, Cornwall, England
The Pandora Inn is a waterfront restaurant and pub in Restronguet Creek featuring a black and white timber-framed building with a thatched roof that extends over the water. The venue offers indoor dining rooms, outdoor seating along the creek, and a pontoon dock area that allows boats to pull up directly.
The building dates back to the 13th century and took its name from HMS Pandora, a naval ship sent in 1791 to pursue the mutineers from HMS Bounty. This connection to the famous mutiny became woven into the location's identity over the centuries.
The inn preserves centuries-old English pub traditions by serving regional ales and local dishes in a space that still feels medieval. Visitors experience how this establishment has welcomed both locals and travelers in the same way for generations.
The location sits right on the water and is accessible both by land and by boat, giving visitors flexibility in how they arrive. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces lets guests choose their setting based on weather and preference.
After a devastating fire in 2011, the inn underwent complete restoration that preserved its medieval exterior while adding modern comforts inside. The rebuild demonstrates how craftspeople managed to balance historical authenticity with contemporary convenience.
