The Port Gaverne is everything you could want in the perfect pub: 17th Century exteriors, welcoming interiors, 15 beautifully designed rooms for the ultimate “get away from it all” experience, and a location straight out of a postcard. Alongside the hotel is Pilchards, a fantastic laid back haven of good food!

At Pilchards, we offer more than just great food – we’re known for our stunning views, laid-back atmosphere, and a tight-knit team that’s passionate about what we do. Our Port Gaverne and Pilchards teams work closely together, so you’ll occasionally be expected to support across both locations.

Nestled in the heart of Port Isaac, this gem boasts breath-taking views so iconic, they’ve been the backdrop for a beloved, long-running TV series. If you’ve ever dreamed of working at a truly special venue in an unforgettable setting, this could be your chance.
