Named after a naval flag ('Crew on Board - Ready to Sail') which flies outside, this is a welcoming little family-run free house on the coastal path, reached by a flight of steps at the end of the quay. It was named runner up Cornwall CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2008. There are up to 4 guest ales in summer; the pub tends to support 'local' breweries, which usually includes one from Devon. On 2 levels, it has wooden floors and interesting hidden corners, while it boasts the only sea view from a pub in town; the family room is upstairs. Eclectic décor includes work by local artists, foreign breweriana and unusual souvenirs. Live music Saturday night and Sunday lunchtimes. The pub is popular with visitors, locals, fishermen and dogs - ask for a biscuit! The cider is from Cornish Orchard.

This 14th century inn at the top of the town is converted from an old mill mentioned in the Domesday Book, in an area very popular with tourists - there is still a fine overshot waterwheel next to the pub. Inside, the inn is comfortably divided into three distinct areas on separate levels. Up to two guest beers may be available, and are usually Cornish. There is regular live entertainment, and gazebos are provided to protect customers from the sun!  Good food (all home-made and locally-sourced) includes special dishes featuring locally caught fish; food is available all day, all year round.  The buses to Looe, Liskeard and Plymouth turn round just across from the pub, and in summer you can catch a tram down to the harbour. Children and pets welcome.  Accommodation is B&B or self-catering.

Welcoming inn, divided into several areas and furnished in rustic style with a long corridor to the pool room and garden by the river.

The accommodation is all en-suite. The house beer is called Old Mill House Bitter.

Pleasant pub having a large bar with wood panelling on the walls and ceiling, a lower sunny room, and a few tables outside by the river. family atmosphere; the wooden and carpeted interior gives the feeling of being below deck. There are 4 handpumps and the keen landlord takes full advantage of the monthly-changing list of 'approved' guest ales allowed him by the owning pub chain; this often includes a mild.
