Large food-orientated roadside pub on the main A39 Truro-Falmouth road, much extended with a separate restaurant area - coach parties can be catered for, given notice. The pub name derives from Scandinavian timber ships which used to anchor in the nearby river. The landlord tries to promote the Cornish nature of the ales and food, which is available all day between 12:00-21:30. There may be some variation in the beers available, which will nevertheless always be from St. Austell Brewery.
